Tokyo Japanese Seafood
4637 50th St.Lubbock, TX
(806) 799-8998
Tokyo Japanese Seafood was originally located on Slide Road, and has now relocated to a
supposedly more modern and comfortable building (although I have not been to the restaurant
since it moved). It is a hibachi style restaurant where customers sit around the table and watch
the chef cook the meal in front of them. I remember the restaurant concentrating more on the
food than the "show" (which seems to be part of the hibachi restaurant ritual). It was also less
expensive than comparable Japanese style hibachi restaurants, although I only went for lunch
(lunches were very reasonable).
Tokyo serves salmon, which is why I choose it over Shogun, but it is the quality of salmon you
would expect to find in West Texas (farmed Atlantic salmon instead of the wild varieties). The
fish was good, though, and the flavors of the sauces and side items were all excellent. I would
probably suggest beef or chicken over the salmon (and judging from the name of the restaurant
I assume they also have shrimp).
Overall the restaurant was very good compared to similar restaurants I have tried in Amarillo
and Clovis (Tokyo had the best sauces and the best overall flavor).
