Tokyo Fro's

Basically some of the worst sushi and tempura I ever had and the music was out of place. I have not been there in years, I keep my distance. There are so many better places to eat japanese food in Sacramento. Pros: Still trying to think of one... it's been 15 minutes Cons: The food, staff, the ambiance more

Been living in Sacramento for 10 months now, before that we lived in Hawaii, needless to say we know what good sea food is, especially sushi\r \r Tokyo Fros is the best sushi we HAVE EVER had! I cannot believe some of the negative reviews My Husband and I now eat here several times a month. Is it loud sometimes, but its energy and crowd make it even more interesting.\r \r I have not been there at lunch, so I can't tell you anything about that.\r \r The waitresss are probably the most beautiful girls my husband says he has ever seen in a restaurant. I have to agree, but the sushi is awesome!\r \r Last time we were there it looked like one of the managers was giving out free sake shots to the customers waiting for tables.\r \r We will definetly bring our friends here!\r \r \r \r Pros: portions sizes and freshness Cons: you have to get there early or your going to wait more

After driving by the place so many times, I decided to finally give it a try. The ambience of the restaurant is that of a sports bar--with its loud rock music and ESPN on flatscreens hung up around the restaurants--rather than a traditional Japanese restaurant. No problem there, but it set the tone for my lunch. They offered lunch specials at $8.95, which would not be too bad of a deal considering they came with salad, rice, and I think miso soup, but the lack of selection beyond teriyaki and one sushi combo left me scouring the menu for something better. Being not too hungry, I decided to go with some nigiri for appetizer and udon to fill me up.\r \r The nigiri came on a minimalist but carefully arranged platter. They looked decently fresh, but I could have sworn a few of them had a hint of perfume as an aftertaste. I couldn't tell if it was from the soysauce, the hands of the sushi chef, or maybe the plate itself, but wasn't sure enough about it to bring it to the waitress's attention. I neededn't have worried though; she was nowhere to be seen until she brought my udon.\r \r The udon was the worst taste-wise and appearance-wise I have ever seen. It looked like somebody just dumped a bottle of soysauce into some hot water, threw a few strands of noodles and some deep stuff and one shiitake mushroom, and tossed leftover, roughly cut 1/2"" green onions into the bowl. The broth was awful: too salty without any sign of dashi like it's supposed to have. The mushroom was good sized, but it looked like nobody took the trouble of soaking it in water to reconstitute it before dumping it in the soysauce water, so it was impossible to even bite into the thing. Talk about the worst $10.95 I ever spent. \r \r All in all, I was not at all impressed with this restaurant. When I first got there, it showed promise as a place I would bring my friends to after work, but after this experience, I'd rather stay home and make my own sushi and udon. Pros: Sports-bar like ambience Cons: The food itself, bad service more

I am also really suprised to see all of the negative reviews. I love this place! The rolls are really creative and delicious and in all of the hundreds of times that I have been here, I have never once had a bad experience. Make sure you get the Green Tea Creme Brulee for dessert. It is a little known treasure. Pros: Creative, delicious sushi Cons: It sometimes has a sports bar like atmosphere. more

wow....i am surprised to see the reviews of Tokyo fros. i have eaten there pretty frequently for the past two years. the menu has had some change...the prices have gone up...but i have always found their sushi to be good. The rolls are NOT 4 inches wide. sorry. if you order anything on the specialty menu...it is a very good sized portion. if you want to talk about bad value...try mikuni...their prices are a joke. every roll i have ever had there was good. they are also good at making creations based on what you like. i would recommend sitting at the bar. there you are face to face with the chefs who will be attentive to you. the music is usually good...last thursday was new and late 90's rock and r&b. i have also had more than one experience of something being offered to us by the sushi chef...that we didnt order. they are always making rolls and then giving them out to the people at the bar. i would recommend people who are true sushi lovers to try this place....for the food. i have never had my sushi be warm...or not taste good.\r Pros: the specialty rolls Cons: the service. if you sit at a table. try the bar. more

I am a sushi connosseur at heart - I still believe that the best sushi in Northern California can be found in the bay area - notably San Francisco. That said, I was in the area and decided to try out Tokyo Fros for lunch with my business associates. Tokyo Fros is tucked away from the rest of the plaza. Upon entering Tokyo Fros, it seemed to carry a very modern, artsy appearance that is reminiscent of an art gallery. However, the experience was not worth reminiscing. While waiting patiently for a table, we find that the restaurant had a distinctive smell. We were served by one sole waiter, who happened to be working the bar at the same time. We ordered the standard fare - sushi of course - the house specialties. Upon receiving the sushi, we noticed that the sushi is commonplace - e.g. sushi you would find at Bel-Air/Safeway. The sushi was wrapped with way too much rice than the good stuff (maguro, unagi, soft shell crab, etc) In addition, the fish was not fresh, it was a bit warm. The service of the waiter was terrible - we had to ask for water, plates, napkins, etc. Right after we received our food, we heard a loud SNEEZE from a chef at the sushi bar - I wonder who got that dirty sushi - after all sushi is raw. When we were done, the waiter gave the check, didn't say a word, and left back to the bar. The prices for the sushi are ASTRONOMICAL for what you receive in terms of quantity, quality, preparation, and taste. After all, Tokyo Fros left me with a bad taste - putting a dent in my wallet as well as disappointing my business associates. \r You call this Japanese food? Tokyo Fros puts this to shame (in a very disgusting way). Parking is difficult as well! Pros: Artsy ambience and a strange smell - if your into those kind of things Cons: Bad Parking, Lousy Location, Terrible Service, Terrible Food, Terrible Everything more

I love sushi, BUT THIS PLACE WAS BAD!\r It was nothing more but a glorified bar. \r The hostess noticed us walk in but didn't seem to care much. \r I noticed a puky smell around the bar. \r The first waitress showed up once and never came back. \r The music was so loud i could NOT even hear the chef as much as he couldn't hear me.\r The food was bad, I even noticed the chef using an old rag and raw fish at the same time. I could not even finish eating.\r \r When i asked for a check, the third waitress didn't give me all my change back, assuming that I didn't want my .91 cents. And on top of that i went home and had raw fish food piosoning.. \r NO ONE DESERVES SUCH BAD SERVICE, yet alone a bad a bad environment and food that will make you gag.\r \r BEST PLACE TO GO FOR SUSHI, ALTHOUGH VERY BUSY, IS MIKUNI'S! GO THERE, IT'S LIKE EATING ANGEL FOOD. more

They need to learn to make sushi. First of all the rolls are like 4"" wide, secondly they are not fresh. The service is horrible. They hire a bunch of big tittied waitresses in an attempt to distract you from their horrible prices, service, and quality of food. Do not eat here. Personally, I reccomend Mana on broadway. Pros: Big tittied waitresses Cons: Bad food, Bad Service, Bad Prices more

Sushi here is so great! I come here for lunch & on Thursdays when they have a DJ spinning. The service is great & our server was very helpful, Sake bombs are always recommended. I did try the oysters & they were horrible! They came over warm & didn't taste fresh. The menu is quite interesting............... I was told as of 2 weeks ago that the fish is no longer fresh due to costs is this true? Pros: Sushi, Ambeince, Crowd Cons: Oysters, Parking more

When you walk into Tokyo Fro's you realize why they call it a rockin sushi bar. For the most part it seems that Tokyo Fro's aims towards a younger demographic. They have Karaoke every Tuesday, pre-club parties on Thursday and from time to time the even have live music. The food at Tokyo Fro's is tasty. And the best part about it is the size of the portions. The rolls at Fro's are the biggest I've ever seen. The prices are reasonable, however if you go during happy hour (Mon-Fri 4-6pm) or on half off sundays (5-10pm) then you will find yourself a real deal. The service was in my opinion, was good. The waitresses were real friendly and went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. If you are looking for a good dinner for a good price and a good time, Fro's is the place. more

I love sushi, and this is definitely the best sushi restraurant in Sac I've been to so far. The waitresses (I haven't had a male waiter so far) are nice but maybe a little understaffed. The food is very good though, it tastes very fresh. Watch your bill though, we were charged the weekend price for a weekday special, when we pointed it out the waitress seemed a little annoyed but corrected it. I think this had to do with the understaffing issue though... more
