I don't understand all the negative reviews...my mom & I really enjoyed our dinner. We did NOT do the teppan style tho'. My mom is very picky about her Japanese food & we'd go back, evem tho' it is not nearby. A little pricey, but it's a nice place, so it's justified. Mom had sushi & I had steak, which was tasty & very tender. When I saw the negative reviews, I had to write a positive one since I felt it did not deserve those bad ones at all!

1 Stars: Wrong Order, Overcharged, Rude Waitress (by Linda T.)

I liked the food, the teppan chefs were nice, but the waitress was terrible. My order was wrong, I was overcharged, and they didn't care. I would not recommend this restaurant. The wait staff is either poorly trained or terribly managed.

Came here while waiting for a movie, and it was not pleasant. The space looks big but the layout is poor and just looks like your in a hotel lobby with a sushi bar. The prices are expensive and the food was so so. The sushi was horrible, ordered Sushi Tuna and the Tuna was RED, and not a good red. Tasted fishy and i couldnt finish for fear of food poisoning. The soup was okay, but for the price i could have gone to any of my 3 favorite sushi places and had more quality and better food.... Next time ill walk over to the express chinese place... Dont think they will stay long if thats how the food is going to continue.

PROS: short wait, can watch chefs cook if seated in the right area.
CONS: bad food, high prices compared to better sushi places

Tokyo Wacko has a very nice setting and the service was great. The food was expensive, yet the outcome was not so great. To watch them cook in front of you was fascinating but there was no taste in the food. I would not come here again.

PROS: Nice setting and the service was terrific.
CONS: Food quality was poor and there was no taste.

tokyo wakos steak and chicken combination comes with their great salad and fried or steamed rice- the fried rice is divine!!! they are a little expensive but it is all made up for in the end
