Tokio Sake,

Center Shopping Center, 20330 N Deer Park Blvd Suite 112, Deer Park, IL 60010, United States

"Food was not good. Had a mix of sashimi and honestly the cuts weren’t great. The fish did not taste very good and did not seem fresh. It’s always a red flag to me when there’s excessive use of citrus wedges served with the sashimi. Clearly trying to cover up for questionable fish quality/freshness. I had a piece of salmon that had the texture of a woody chicken breast. Took all my strength to not spit it out. This place has really gone downhill over the last few years. And it was over 150 for 2 people to have an appetizer, dinner, and 1 drink each. Ridiculous. It was moderately busy on a Friday night but the servers were in such a rush it just wasn’t pleasant. Skip this place and just go to Sushi Kushi down the street for a better value and better food overall."

"We love this little gem. They have a crispy spicy tuna that's so good."

"Excellent food and service. Not a big place, but cozy atmosphere. We had 5 people for my birthday. Glad I got reservation. We got a semi private booth that surrounded our table. Everything was top notch. I got the miso soup, edamome, pork dumplings and the Dear Park roll which was fantastic! Then I had the marshmallow moshi green tea icecream for desert."

"We've been going to Tokio Sake since my kids were young. (Definitely over 10 years now). They, IMO, have the BEST sushi around. They will add, remove, substitute if you wish and always have specials. The other places in Barrington or any of the surrounding towns, charge more and one place (which is well-known with multiple locations) hasn't changed their menu since they opened, their fish doesn't compare and they keep raising prices and zero changing or adding to a roll. Tokio Sake is amazing and nothing compares. Took a friend for the first time who lives in the city and he was blown away! Loved it and will be returning as well."

"We had dinner here on a weekday around 7:30 pm. Awesome selection of food and good ambiance. The restaurant is interesting and has a good mix of decor. I loved the black rice roll and the ginger dressing salad. They had a matcha cloudy saki which I'd never tried before and that was a treat! Clean bathrooms, warm welcome- I highly recommend this little spot."
