Wife loved the Poke bowl with salmon and tuna. My hibachi chicken was ok, not great, but for the price lots of food and still decent. The appetizers and sushi were all good. Overall we had 5 very full people for about 50- so a win in my book.

I've come here for lunch frequently over the past couple of years, never once had a bad experience with the food or service. Owners are nice and ensure the food you're getting is good quality. Lots of food for the price, I can make a Hibachi box last for two meals for the same price as a single fast-food meal. Best place in town for good, healthy food.

We ordered on DD tonight for the first time trying this place out. I ordered the crab rangoon roll, shrimp tempura roll, an order of crab rangoon, shrimp dumplings and a side of noodles. The rolls were absolutely delicious. Very fresh! The crab rangoons were fantastic. Everything was really good and I felt the prices were very reasonable. Definitely will be getting sushi here often!

Good spot . It's clean and food is fast and fresh. However if you order the crab Rangoon there's no crab meat in it . Just cream cheese filling .

Second time coming here and so far this place has been really warm and friendly, food is a little on the pricey side with 11.50 for some semi basic rolls (California was only 5.00). The hibachi was really healthy tasting, salmon was good and noodles were not dripping with grease! I would give the food and atmosphere a 5 star and the prices a 4. Great place to have a good dinner!

First time customer. Always see Tokyo Express along the road when driving through Nicholasville and decided to try it out. Overall, good food and good quantity for the price. Ordered at the drive-through window after checking out their menu online beforehand and was told to park and wait in the parking lot. Service was pleasant and the food was delivered to my car in less than 10 minutes. -Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl If there's one thing you need to try here, it's their Poke bowl. Traditionally it's made with raw fish, but if that's not your thing, you can order it with cooked proteins as well. I had mine with spicy tuna and it was pretty amazing. It was the right combination of ingredients and the sauce brought everything together perfectly. If there was less sauce that could have ruined it. There was a good amount of tuna and it had good flavor. All sushi grade fish comes frozen for safety. I can tell it was well taken care of. It also comes with edamame, corn, avocado slices, carrots, cucumber, seaweed salad, salad, rice, a spicy mayo sauce, and garnished with white and black sesame seeds. This was very refreshing and flavorful to eat. I'm excited to try this again with salmon next time. -Chicken Bento Box w/ Fried Rice and a Drink If you want a hot meal with a lot of variety and a drink bundled into the price, this is a good choice. The sauteed vegetables have a sauce with a lot of good flavor. Because that part had so much flavor the rest was a little underwhelming. The fried rice was cooked well, but lacked depth. I moved some of the sauce from the vegetables and it was great after that. The chicken wasn't seared enough during cooking, but the flavor and texture were above average. The gyoza were nice and crispy still after a 25 minute drive home. Pretty good. The California roll was just okay. A California roll is a pretty simple roll, so the ingredients need to be on point. A hint of rice vinegar in the sushi rice for sweetness and crab meat mixed with mayo for creaminess and fattiness would go a long way. -Philly Roll Just like the california roll, a Philly roll is a pretty simple roll as well. And just like the California roll, the ingredients need to be on point. The sushi rice was lacking rice vinegar. The cream cheese needs to be Philadelphia brand cream cheese for the tanginess and less creamy texture. I understand it's more expensive than the other major brand of cream cheese that's commonly sold and wasn't used to keep margins up. Tokyo Express, you can use less of the Philadelphia cream cheese and have a better roll for the same price. I can't comment on the salmon because I forgot to focus on it. Based upon how their tuna was, I would like to think it was comparable to how I felt about their tuna. I would like to see Tokyo Express succeed because they offer something unique to Nicholasville. The flavors they bring are in a different strata from Wah Mei and Ichiban Buffet (come back soon!) and it's not something you can easily make at home. I see they have the potential to be something great. They have a big dining area that's clean. They need to fix their marquee. It's a bad first impression. There should be a promotion on it like free mountain dew or free crispy gyoza or free miso soup with a poke bowl. Restaurants are a tough business to be in. Make your menu simple to read and focus on what you do well. Keep improving, Tokyo. You're pretty good.
