Food: Poorly spiced, ill-favored

Despite their top three dishes being Teriyaki with Tempura, Sashimi, and Green Tea Ice Cream, Tokyo Lobby falls short in the food department. Based on the reviews, Teriyaki was tender accompanied by light and crispy Tempura, and Sashimi was beautifully presented. However, the creativity lacked, with the food being described as rather generic. The taste was often disappointing and mediocre, lacking flavor, and the freshness sometimes questionable, described in negative terms such as 'fishy' or 'gross'.

  • Large Portions

    Food's generous portions provide satisfaction and often result in leftovers.

  • Okay Taste

    Some food is tasty, other dishes are described as just okay.

  • Low Quality

    Food not always fresh, smells fishy, sashimi gross, tastes like from before.

Vibe: Depressing, low-light ambiance

Adding insult to injury, the vibe at Tokyo Lobby didn't help its case. The ambiance was described as outdated with dim lighting and a depressing atmosphere. The excessive noise and bright light on dates were disappointing and lacked a romantic setting. The restaurant's corner location in an old center was considered unappealing.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Outdated ambiance with dim lighting, depressing atmosphere; needs improvement.

Perks: Inhospitable service, inconvenience

Parking at the restaurant seemed to be the only positive aspect, with many reviews highlighting its convenience and ample availability. However, the customer service experienced was far from pleasant, with common issues being slow service, rude staff, and poor responsiveness. Although outdoor dining offers spacious tables and group-friendly layout, the privacy concerns couldn't be overlooked. Kids options including ice cream were appreciated but weren't enough to balance the scales.

  • Great For Groups

    Handles large groups efficiently with great accommodations and group-friendly layout.

  • Okay Outdoor

    Outdoor tent dining offers spacious, distanced tables; some privacy concerns.

  • Bad Service

    Slow service, rude staff, and poor responsiveness were common issues.
