Toyko Express

If there's a Tokyo Joe's in whatever City I'm visiting, I ate there. I am so glad there's one that's not that far from me because I eat there all the time. It's so good. Definitely worth the money. It's not expensive and you get a good amount of food. The people are cool and the atmosphere is fantastic.

Used to be good. Inexperienced cooks. Anyone knows when you carve a steak you cut across the grain otherwise it's stringy and tough to eat, happened twice at two locations. Also potstickers have raw pork product in them but served barely warm even after I asked for a new order. Pork needs to be cooked to 170* not even close to that temp.

I really love the concept of this place. It's not fine dining obviously, but for a quick meal that won't break the bank, this is a cool spot. Now, I'm judging it solely on the BYO bowls. I can't attest for anything else, but for the bowls, it gets 5 stars! I can't tell you what my BF put in his bowl, but I can tell you, that even though the options don't include rice noodles as the base, I asked if I could sub rice noodles instead of udon noodles and the politely obliged. Yay! So I got the rice noodles with chicken, veggies and both the red and green dragon sauces as I like some heat! The red dragon sauce was a chile habanero sauce (I wasn't crazy about the taste personally) but the green dragon sauce is a serrano sauce that is DELICIOUS! The spice was awesome too! Honestly, I enjoyed it so much that I think we'll probably meet here regularly. Think of it as the Chipotle of Asian food. You really can't go wrong when you're building your own dish! Oh, and their tea selection is awesome too! They have like 4-5 different brews. I only tried the hibiscus tea, but it was perfect with my lunch. So if you want to please your palette, just go with the BYO bowl.
