tokyo ii japanese seafood and steakhouse

although it was difficult to understand our waiter, i greatly enjoyed my time at tokyo 2. i thought the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food that i received, as well as the taste of the food. my boyfriend and i ate there for a late dinner on a monday evening and both ordered the chicken entrees. the chicken was perfectly prepared and to our delight we also found a few pieces of shrimp in each of our dishes. it was presented beautifully, the order of the meal was perfect. i really enjoyed the atmosphere as well. i would love to dine there again!

never again!!. we went to tokyo ii this evening for the first and last time. we had a reservation for 6:00 p.m. and were finally seated at 7:10 p.m. while waiting at the bar we attempted to get drinks. we stood there for almost 20 minutes before someone took our order. another customer that was also waiting walked away in frustration. two people from our party actually left the restaurant and walked out.

when we were finally seated it took quite awhile before anyone even came to get our drink order. when we finally placed our drink order we waited another 15 minutes before our drinks arrived and then they weren't even all correct, so we had to send some of them back.

we placed our food order and were told that they were giving us free edamame because we had to wait so long. nice, but after waiting now 90 minutes past our reservation to get any kind of actual service a $2.00 appetizer hardly made up for it.

the hibachi chef was wonderful and the food was actually quite good. he was definitely the best part of the experience.

the women's bathroom had no toilet paper in any of the stalls and there were no paper towels.

when our bills finally arrived, several people in our party were charged for items they didn't even order and the server tried to tell us we did!

we would absolutely never go to this restaurant again, which is unfortunate because the food was really quite good. the service was the worst we have ever experienced and we are people who dine out pretty frequently.

take our advice and skip this restaurant. drive the extra 15 minutes and go to kyoto if you are looking for a hibachi experience!

great sushi. attentive, accommodating, cheerful, and helpful service. good price for a group.

best hibachi in buffalo! great service and food but the deserts are all frozen and aren't very good

v day dinner. the food was lovely and the service was very good and quick our serve mi was very funny and the portion were nice it made a fat person happy

great food. awesome service (dave). really good and strong drinks. fantastic. they offer groupons quite often, too. can't wait to come back.

definitely go. been there twice had a great time and great food both times, sushi and cooked, will definitely be back.

not that great. i'm far from a sushi buff, but this place wasn't that great. nice staff and all but the sushi didn't taste like it had fresh fish. i'll stick with kunis.

pad thai. long, soft noodles in a sweet and spicey sauce with ground peanuts and fresh bean sprouts on the side. this comes with a variety of meat options, as well as vegetable or tofu, of which i've tried the chicken and the vegetable. both were excellent. i think this is just as good as any thai place i've had it from and a very large portion. a favorite of mine.

a little bit of nippon. i have never been to japan but i've seens loads of pictures and movies. the decor of this is very metropolitan japan - upscale but still casual, modern but traditional. you would never guess this used to be ihop. sushi is on par with every local place i've eaten but kuni's. i think the hibachi outpaces other places i've tried (shogun, kyoto, etc). the thai is also excellent, a suprise for a non-thai centered restaurant. desserts are tasty and reasonaly priced - try the deep fried green tea ice cream. the only dish i've tried that i thought was anything less than awesome was the udon, which was very bland (though it often is - i add a lot to udon soup when i make it at home). service has always been very good when i went, except the first few weeks when they were working out the kinks. overall an experience that makes you feel like you are overseas, and i don't throw that phrase around.

my favorite restaurant,would come back tokyo 2,nice decor and food!much better service than before!

changed a lot! nice decor, nice food ,surprise me,great service,i will go back

horrible customer service - average food. went to this place on nye 2011. had a hankering for some sashimi.

you think in this day and age that japanese people running a place like this would know the difference between nigiri and sashimi. i ordered about $25 worth of sashimi - waited about 35 minutes at the bar for them to prepare it (no big deal.)

i get home and there were 3 pieces missing and what was there were thinly sliced fish draped over rice. not even the types of fish i ordered... really?!?!

i called and it seemed that they put the person who speaks the least english on the phone to confuse me...(they have plenty of english speaking young employees there.)

after another half hour on the phone - they said they would refund me some of the money for the missing pieces (not adequate since what i got was not close to what i ordered) and then said they would prepare the correct meal for me at no charge the following week. i was satisfied with that.

called the next week and they had absolutely no idea what i was talking about - after 15 minutes i refreshed their memories - they offered me $6 in credit for my order. i said ya know what...im done with this place. see ya on yelp and urban spoon.

i work in the restaurant business and know what it means to have happy customers...if you mess up, you make it right. seriously though, japanese that dont know the difference between sushi, sashimi, and nigiri? really?

to top it off...i was watching the hibatchi chefs while i was waiting for my food and they were screwing up left and right...dropping stuff and messing up their routine. id be heated if i paid to sit and watch an amateur butcher an artform like that....

terrible customer service with waitresses the "i don't understand english" thing...but very good food, great atmosphere if enjoying hibachi with the chef...he is awesome. about $75 lunch for 4 after tipping

great food!. i've eaten at a few hibachi's in western new york and have to say this is a gem. great food, lively atmosphere, but above all, the food was great. this is a must try. can't wait to go again.

sushi was fresh, entertainment was great! for the amount of food you get with the hibachi dinners the prices are not as expensive as some other places. i recommend the filet and shrimp :)

wrm. service was a bit slow the first week, but the food was very good and fresh. i think if they just work on the staff a bit they have a winner! i will definitely be back.
