My 3 companions had the “all you can eat” sushi menu and I had the beef hibachi dinner (since I am allergic to shellfish so not a sushi fan) even though there are plenty of choices of non shellfish! Everyone was happy. The food is amazing, the sushi was apparently exceptional. Along with crab Rangoon (huge) miso and clear soup, tempura dishes, teriyaki chicken and salmon, and egg custard. Order from the unlimited menu as needed, the service is fabulous and the waitress was accommodating and they never had to wait for more dishes. Pictured are just some of the dishes my companions ate, all so beautifully presented. There is a “wastage penalty” of 50c per item to stop over ordering and honestly there should be no need as you order as you finish each set of dishes.

A great place to go to eat for lunch or dinner! They have a really nice lunch special with all you can eat sushi. Staff was very nice and atmosphere was great!

Probably the best Japanese food I have had outside of Japan. I had the bento B and everything in it was delicious, especially the teriyaki salmon! I couldn't even finish half of the box it was so big. My mom had the shrimp fried rice and absolutely loved the yum yum sauce that came with it. She was the first one done with her meal.

I went as a treat to myself and was very happy with the variety of food they offered. I had sushi and miso soup. They offer all you can eat sushi every day and not just the beginner rolls! I will be going back.

The experience at Ichi Tokyo is perfect. Food, service and ambiance. I enjoyed their fine all you can eat Sushi dinner - very authentic Japanese quinine. I hope you will enjoy. As a footnote: try the clear (mushroom broth soup) soup it’s fantastic and settles your tummy for a gastronomic experience

Stopped here for a quick lunch; pleasantly surprised! Fast service, cozy interior, and excellent dishes. We had a bento box (veg. tempura) and the two-roll (spicy salmon and sweet potato tempura) lunch combo with tea to drink. Quite reasonable prices and excellent portions- we brought some home. The vegetable tempura was especially good. All in all this is a great place!

WOW! What a find! Don't miss out on this place. Cozy and comfortable seating, clean & tidy, super friendly and accommodating staff. And an absolutely amazing All-You-Eat sushi lunch!! The price is perfect and if you don't leave satisfied, it's your own fault. The selection is plentiful and delicious. I will definitely be back.

I gave a 5 star rating not necessarily because it's the absolutely best sushi/sashimi I've had (it's very, very good) but because it offers all you can eat for a reasonable price of about 31. Except for an excellent place in Port Orange, FL and some exceptional places in CA and HI, it ranks near the top of my list in flavor and presentation. The seafood is very fresh and, for Japanese cuisine, that's about 90% of the flavor rating. I started with the seaweed salad, which was tasty and a little more tangy than usual but, as such, seemed brighter and fresher than others. Still had good toasted sesame flavor, too. I then ordered the rainbow roll (highly recommended), salmon and octopus sashimi, the fire roll (tasty and fun with great presentation), and a simple salmon roll. My wife found plenty of items she liked. Not a fancy place so don't expect great atmosphere, however, after a day of fly fishing, we didn't need fancy, just convenience and good food. Service was friendly and just a bit slow due to a heavy take-out business but was good compared to other sushi restaurants. We will certainly return whenever we're in the Rochester, MN area.
