Tokyo Japanese Steak House 7 Northwest Barry Road, Kansas City, MO 64155

"Visiting family, and brought then here. Been to a lot of hibachi places, this was the worst. The grilled food was good, but the whole experience was trash. Went in, and the hostess didn't even look up from her phone, and asked how many. Sat us down, and left. Twenty minutes later they asked what we wanted to drink. Eventually brought the drinks, but they forgot my mom's, and we had to ask 3 times before for they brought it. Another 20 minutes before we got them. Then they asked our orders. Probably 15 minutes later we got the soups, which had spaghetti noodles in it, not Ramen, upon, or soba noodles. The salad was mediocre, and they put too much dressing (again, not even Japanese dressing). The chef comes, and is confirming everyone's orders, and there were 2 mistakes (only one for my family, and one for the other family). Makes the food, and the whole point of the hibachi experience is the show they do while cooking. This chef seemed to be bored and just wanted to be done. Had an attitude if anyone asked him for the 'yellow sauce' (asked if it was yumyum sauce, and snapped 'We don't do yumyum sauce!') The grilled veggies were about 90% zucchini. Gave the wrong person shrimp....just an overall unenjoyable and subpar experience. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if the prices were not that same as every other hibachi I have ever been to. Neither my family nor myself will be returning. This is the first time in my life I have not left a tip."

"PROs: No wait time. Good location. Plenty of parking and plenty of indoor seatings. CONs: The establishment has become dingy. All of our food come out all brown (see picture) and unappealing. The west end area seen better days and now it's an eye sore that appears to be a storage area."

"The food was great. It was fun watching them make our food in front of us. Our chef was funny and made our food delicious. And the atmosphere was pretty good as well. I have nothing to complain about. Oh, and this was our first time here."

"Came here for dinner. Got the steak and chicken with white rice. For the price, you get a decent amount. Enough to bring home leftovers. The chef was very polite and funny. It was pretty cold in the building with it being in the 40s outside. The soup didn’t have much of a flavor and the noodles were just spaghetti noodles that didn’t taste very good either. Rather difficult to eat. I would come here again though."
