Taste Of Tokyo

SUSHI JEWEL IN SIDNEY...HAVE TRIED TO DINE IN BUT TASTE OF TOKYO HAS BEEN A GREAT & TIMELY SOURCE OF 'COVID-REPRIEVE'...THE FOLKS & STAFF HERE ARE WORTH KEEPING IN MIND FOR ON-TIME TAKE-OUT VALUE DURING CHALLENGING TIMES, PLUS GREAT VALUE COMPARED TO SIMILAR VENUES IN YVR (BUT WITHOUT THE FERRY!). BEST WISHES TO JONATHAN & THE STAFF!

Delicious lunch bento boxes. Will definitely return. Miso soup and tea also included.

Very good food, hot and tasty. Would recommend this restaurant gladly. Service and wait time very good. Lots of customers for take out so that is a good sign, especially on a cold snowy Monday.

Absolutely delicious sushi at a great price. The staff are incredible as well. Best sushi in Sidney and a top 3 option in all of Victoria! Always excited to get food from here and can't wait to go back!

Love this place! We have so many choices of places to eat Sushi locally, but we always come back and stay loyal to ToT because of their friendly service, innovative and super tasty food, and just all around great attitude in these trying times for our local restaurants. See you again soon for some more Cowboy Rolls in Soy Paper, our ultimate favourite. Highly recommend Taste of Tokyo. Keep up the great work!

WE LOVE TASTE OF TOKYO! They have persevered tremendously through the pandemic! The food is always amazing and we order at least 3-4 times a month. We drive 15 minutes to get their delicious food. Hard working group of people doing their best during these times. Our go to for Japanese food! Highly recommend.

First time being there. The reviews don't do it justice. The food was fantastic and the staff treated me great. Sushi chefs where very polite as well will definitely be going back.

I would highly recommend Taste of Tokyo! Not only did everything we ordered taste so good but the service was wonderful! They called to let me know that they were running a few minutes late on having the order ready which I really appreciated and they even included some complimentary desserts. Also, one item was missed in our package and they graciously offered to deliver it to us in central Saanich and came within 15 minutes. It was a great experience! Looking forward to ordering again soon.

We got the BC Super combo which had 3 different types of rolls (primarily salmon, crab, avocado) which each had 6 rolls for a great price of $12. Tasted well beyond expectations, and was made in under 10 minutes! Came with the general soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger. Thanks!

We arrived five minutes before close expecting to order take out but they seated us! Such a nice surprise. They were so friendly, food was delicious and the restaurant was clean. Will definitely return!

We are local so a little biased but we love this place for AYCE Saturday's. We go often with large groups after hiking or sailing and sometimes you need to wait a bit but the staff are almost all long term and really friendly. If you ask they will generally prepare a specific roll or nigiri for you as part of the the deal.

After Shima closed down, my friends and I had to find a new Japanese AYCE to frequent. We stumbled upon Taste of Tokyo (TOT), which offers a fairly decent range of hot and cold food for $26.99.

Starting off with the hot food, the pièce de résistance is definitely the crab legs. The meat is quite succulent, but you do have to work your way to it as the crab legs aren't pre-cracked. Also, they aren't replenished as often as you might like, so definitely get your fair share in the beginning or endure the wait. Another star dish is the oyster motoyaki, which is much preferred over the

A very good place to eat if you are actually familiar with actual authentic and real sushi and do not live in Vancouver. I tried their hotate, toro, and sake nigiri. As someone who tries many different sushi places in smaller towns and cities, I am usually disappointed by the toro (which is usually just tuna not toro) and the lack hotate and uni on the menu. Here, the sushi was delicious enough that it pulled me in for another plate of toro sashimi.

Service was really great too. I inquired about a dish after it was served and the waiter noticed the issue and did not hesitate to go beyond my expectations

The food and service here are excellent. The Vietnamese pho is the best I have had in Victoria, and tastes just like the Pho back in Vietnam. Highly recommended!

Overlook that Taste of Tokyo is tucked inside a bland multi-use building off the main drag with an unwelcoming entrance and drab interior.

We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. I enjoyed a nicely balanced flavour, refreshing ebi sunomono salad and the prawn and vegetable tempura, a good portion and perfectly light and crisp battered. My partner was pleased with the chicken teriyaki bowl, and the portions and freshness of the assorted sashimi, except the herring (it was pickled).

Cutting and plating was attentive. Service was good, although prices seemed higher. If

I would highly recommend AGAINST this sushi restaurant. I spent $100 on take out dinner for 3 people. The tuna sashimi was bland and tasted frozen..and owner confirmed it was frozen, defrosted that day. The unagi and scallop nigiri portion was so tiny and bland. The hatachi sashimi was just ok. The sunomuno was also below standards. The best items were the seaweed salad and free ca roll. I went back and spoke to the owner the next day, reviewing each item and how disappointed we were in the meal. We had eaten in the restaurant once before and enjoyed our meal. He said the only thing he

Very nice waitress, passable maki sushi but BYOW: bring your own wasabi. I don't know what they cut their wasabi with but it was dark green, clay-like, devoid of wasabi taste, and left a pasty residue in the mouth. Not just a condiment, wasabi is anti-bacterial and anti-parasitic - kind of important when eating raw fish. If you're going to hold yourself out as a Japanese restaurant you can't fake something as basic to the cuisine as wasabi. Made for the least satisfying sushi I have ever eaten.

Was excited to discover a sushi place in town and went in to give it a try. As a Vancouverite who recently moved to the area understood that sushi will always just be a bit below par from what I can get on the mainland so i have considered this element in this review. I ordered two sushi rolls and the rice of both of these rolls were rubbery. yes, i said it. RUBBERY. I don't know if its just that batch of rice or that its their interpretation of sushi but it was enough for me to decide that this is not the place for me. What was funnier was that the next table said to the waiter, "Complements

The food is excellent and authentic and the staff are very friendly. It got kind of busy and it seemed like they were understaffed for a bit, but overall excellent.

Very good food and services. The food is excellent & very healthy. I will definitely go again and refers to all freinds, too.

This place sucks. Their water tasted like it was used for tea that didn't get washed. I went there with my bf and his family. Our food took too long! I ordered the Tempura dish for $17, all it came with were miso soup which by the way very salty, 1/4 cup of rice, 2 pieces of 'prawns', 2 pieces of squid, 4 veggies. I should've just ordered the Tempura a la carte which I know would be less of everything. They overcharged us for US dollars twice on top of exchange rate. We were going to pay in USD cash, but their rate would be less cause they would have to go to the 'bank
