Taste of Tokyo

First time trying this place and it was so cute! The floating boats (like a conveyer) was unique! The staff were all nice and attentive. Personally, I love salmon and tuna. The salmon was amazing and the tuna was pretty average. I also loved the sweet potato roll and edamame. I would highly recommend all of the salmon rolls. They have a small menu but wide variety of things to choose from and the chefs are very nice and accommodating as well. Overall the price was fair.. a touch on the high end but the salmon was very quality and worth it. I would highly recommend trying this place!

This hidden gem was introduced by a co-worker back in 2014. I've never been disappointed with Joe's creation since then (main chef). Crawfish nigiri, white tuna (sashimi & nigiri), snow crab roll, unagi, seaweed salad, spicy tuna, salmon sashimi & nigiri, and spider roll are outta this world. I highly recommend this place to all sushi lovers that knows what fresh and top quality sushi and Japanese cuisine tastes like. My entire family loves this and Joe has been our all time favorite and go to Sushi & Japanese Chef

Such a cute place! We went for the first time last night and had a great experience. Seems like a lot of local regulars; the staff knew most of the patrons and greeted everyone warmly. Conveyor belt sushi is usually just kind of meh quality but it was on point here. Definitely worth going to and we will be back!

Recommend the jalapeño roll and their hot sake.

I CANNOT BEGIN TO EXPRESS how amazing this place was! I have lived in the area my entire life and was never fortunate to have came in but my family was extremely satisfied with this restaurant. The service was excellent from the very first person that greets you at the door to the server and I can’t express the experts making the food! They were very personable, attentive and knowledgeable. We will definitely be coming here from now on. The quality in the food was unlike I had never had before. We came in almost at closing time we were never at any point rushed or made felt uncomfortable. Hands down the best sushi! The Mexican and the IL rolls were my absolute favorite so full of flavor . The decore was clean and elegant. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this place. Thank you all for the hard work and quality you put in your work!

Food and service was amazing!

Haven't been here for awhile. So sad they got rid of there all you can eat but totally understand why due to cost of food and inflation. As long as there service doesn't suffer, I appreciate them being around.

The best sushi in Buffalo Grove! Servers are super friendly and there's a good selection for non-sushi eaters as well. They've already done the sushi bar so that there are floating boats, especially prepared choices, easily accessible. They also serve wine, beer, and good warm sake.

Came here on a weekday evening and it was such a good time, The staff was very friendly and made it a great experience. Sushi was very good and I enjoyed the variety. Crawfish roll was amazing!

This is our favorite sushi place in Buffalo Grove. We never dined inside, get pick up only. The sushi and rolls are always fresh and look amazing. Our favorite rolls are Rainbow, Dragon, Mapia, Shrimp Tempura, Spicy Tuna & Salmon and Spider. We like it on the spicy side.

We love coming here as a family! They remember us every time and they make rolls for the boats to your liking. They are so friendly. Highly recommend

The Food is great, loved the sushi options in the rotating menu, the service was amazing, always asking if we needed something else and very kind with kids! Will definitely come back !

Staff is very nice and accommodating. Make good conversation. Food is good quality. The boats that transport the sushi is a cool concept!

I've been coming here for fourteen years and have never been disappointed! I'm so happy that they reopened their sushi boat buffet again after the pandemic! A very cozy atmosphere with a great variety of sushi that is made fresh and can be made to order right in front of you. The staff is always friendly making it an absolute pleasure to stop in for a quick bite to eat! Their affordable pricing and quality also beats other sushi buffet locations by far! My favorites are their torched white tuna, Illinois and spider rolls! Highly recommended!

We have been going to Taste of Tokyo for over 6 years, It’s sad that it took us so long to discover this place. It is our favorite sushi around here. Their hospitality and customer service is what sets them apart. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. They have rolls for everyone!

When my wife was pregnant, she craved ToT and they accommodated us with her special dietary needs. She ate rolls like sweet potato, shrimp tempura, and other specialty items Joseph was able to create.

Some of our favorite rolls over the years have been Illinois Roll, Sweet potato, Green dragon, Crazy roll, New Orleans, Spicy scallop, super white tuna nigiri, and crawfish nigiri!

ToT is always in our carry out/dining rotation!

The food is amazing with lots of options!! The staff always make sure you’re eating well and are super sweet. Will always recommend this restaurant!

Lazy River Sushi Boats…enough said.

Great service and excellent quality sushi. Staff are always friendly and willing to give recommendations. You can dine at the bar by the floating sushi boats or traditional seating. Overall great experience and awesome date idea if they enjoy sushi, allergy warning for seafood.

Best sushi and sashimi place in Buffalo Grove! We ordered nigiri, sashimi, and couple rolls and oh my🥰 everything we ordered were so delicious and fresh! It’s hard to find fresh sushi in midwest unless it’s a super fancy/expensive restaurant (still their sushi might not be fresh). We love their Sashimi Delux.

We always order California roll for our 4 year old and usually most restaurants don’t put a lot of “love” into California rolls because it doesn’t contain fish and it’s cheapest + easiest to make. But this place, you can tell that the chef treats all his food and orders equally!!

The owner and chef were very friendly, welcoming, and lovely, which is always a plus.

Such an amazing idea serving the sushi. The food was delicious. Big selection of sushi

Very unique spot with a sushi RIVER carrying a variety of sushi to you. The food is delicious and chefs are very engaging. Prices for the sushi river are reasonable but the special rolls get quite expensive. One small item too is I often wished the muzak was slightly louder, as to not cause uncomfortable silences.

Great food and friendly service. Little pricey but I think it's well worth it.

4.6.23- Unfortunately no more lunch service. Just open 4-9. Hoping this will not last too long.

I drove three hours to get here, and it was well worth it! Sushi and rolls are both fresh and delicious. Plus, the pricing is unbeatable for the quality.
