Reviews for Tokyo Wako Ontario in Long Beach, CA

Exspensive and a disgrace. Can hardly be called Japanese food. The plating is a joke and almost offensive to look at. Sashimi is... overpriced and not fresh. The fish had a strong smell and would fall apart in your mouth. Horrible texture a sign of bad fish.Ordered a beef sashimi as well for 15 bucks and it was sliced paper thin. Ridiculous. The tuna tartar was bland the the texturewas like baby food vomit. Fish that had been thawed and left out for a while. Do yourself a favor and don't bother eating hereif you have actual taste and standards. Read more

My fiance and I came here for lunch for my birthday and enjoyed it very much. The sushi was fresh, delicious and decorated... perfectly on each plate. Our server was sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. Prices were reasonable for a high end sushi andsteak joint. We look forward to we eating here again in the near future!! Read more

Nice place, fresh food and friendly service. Tables were the chef prepares the food in front of you are so worth it. Everything... was fresh, the service was fast, and our chef had a great sense of humor and one heck of a skill with his knives. Fried rice wasdelicious. Read more

This review is for the dining area and not the toppanyaki side of the restaurant. However the restroom that is communally shared... was filthy and parts of the ceiling were coming down. My wife also went to the women's restroom and told me it is unsanitary.Bear in mind this is on Mother's Day around 6pm and the restrooms were a mess. We were given disposable utensils and soy saucepackets; mind you we were dining in and not taking anything to go. We ordered the truffle edamame which didn't have any umamiflavor of truffle whatsoever. My wife ordered a salmon wrapped scalloped that tasted overly sweet and like a bunch of flavorsjust mixed together with no contrast or acidity to wash out or balance the overbearing sweetness of the sauces. My food was alittle bit better as it was simply fried but honestly feels like it shouldn't be priced at $26 but rather than $18 for that dishonce I received it. Our waitress only walked by once and saw that our drinks were low and refilled them. But never came backand asked how the food came out or how we were doing or even bothered to offer dessert. I had to flag down another waitress toget our to-go boxes and the check. Also, one of the guys who is running the food was coughing very loud in the back and comingout from the kitchen walking with plates and bringing back refills and walking back out. I couldn't help but to notice he wasn'twearing a mask or gloves the entire time he was coughing. This isn't exactly the kind of experience you want when you arespending $130 on dinner for two. Again disposable utensils, lack of attentive service, filthy restrooms and subpar meals thatjust don't live up to their prices. I honestly can't believe this restaurant is on the pier and fails to capitalize on the realestate it's at and deliver excellent service and cuisine. P.S. I'm writing this review while sitting on the ???? cause to addinsult to injury it upset my stomach. Read more

I came here on a short trip to Long Beach with my family and I loved it! The employees were all very kind and helpful! The food... was mouth watering. The emperor steak was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had! I also loved their shrimp, soup, and salad.The atmosphere was nice and I loved it. Our cook was funny and made delicious food. The ice cream for one of our birthdays wasreally good! Overall, I loved this place and would definitely recommend it to anyone!! Read more

We sat at table, ordered rolls and sashimi combo. No plate for us until we asked. Plates were dirty. Rolls were good taste,... sashimi was a total disaster, before we order we wanted to know what fish will be in the sashimi combo, waitress didn’t knowwhats in the combo. when she served the fish to our table ,it was smelly and soft, it was at least 7 days old fish. Not sashimiquality at all. Overall bad experience. Read more

Our Chef Angel did an AMAZING job!! The reason for the 3 star is. I made reservations for 7:30pm. We didn't get our drinks to... almost 8:30pm and by the time the chef came out it was pretty much closing. However we still enjoyed the chef Angel and the foodwas great! Read more

Being a huge hibachi fan I was skeptical with trying a new place as they never live up to the expectations. My man Edward here... was awesome! Funny and very entertaining and the food was amazing! Parking is a little tuff but it's right off the pier andeverything turned out perfect for a beautiful evening! If you find yourself in long Beach visit this place! I know will be back!Also make a reservation for the grill you may be turned away. Read more
