Tonight I had a girls night out with Mari and one Rani we tried a new local (Lake Jackson hey its still local) restaurant
Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse
602 E. Hwy 332
Lake Jackson, Texas 77566
979-297-9988
Across the street form Buccees.
HOURS: Unknown..not on take out menu or website.
Tokyo is like the "Other" Chinese restaurants in Houson that have chefs prepare the meal infront of you. What I found here are the following:
1.) NICER wait staff ....and it started from the greeters in the entrance to the waitstaff that refilled our drinks.
2.) FRIENDLIER Hostess...She explained the way the set up worked as well as the diff. meals on the menu. She checked on us frequantly without being too pesky.
3.) More room at the Hibachi style area. 8-10 people could be sat per Chef.
4.) Enthusiastic Hibachi Chef's. He was actually taking pride in his "Art" and made the meal a very pleasant experience for all involved. There were adults, toddlers, and teens at our station and he made every one of us laugh.
5.) Portions of food were great. The rice and veggies that most everyone gets with thier orders are fabulous.
The "Other" place pales in compairson. They almost make you feel as if you are bothering then and they HAVE TO cook for you. I think they will have a run for thier money with Tokyo.
Price: It is a little pricey but it is so well worth it. Woulnd't go EVERY night but for sure for date night or for a change up in the norm. Also this prices could reflect the fact that all the food is prepared in front of you and with what seemed to be the freshest ingrediendts.
YOU do have a choice to sit at a regular table or the Hibachi station.
The salad you get before your meal (at teh Hibachi station) is great and has a wonderful dressing BUT they are a bit HEAVY HANDED with it so you may wanna ask for them to go easy on it.
The Atmosphere was awesome. You felt the energy there. There were people and families of all ages. A great place for a date night, celerbration or for the girls!
Parking was fine but with as popular as this place will get they may wanna look into getting more.
So if you are reading this please take a moment to go and try Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse as soos as possible! I think this will be my new place to eat!
