Tokyo Express

Open one on Calgary! Please!!! I miss these tasty rice bowls with a side of salmon sauce!!!

Came here to pick up a beef bowl to go. Wow did they ever give you lots of beef! The ratio of beef to rice seemed almost identical! The flavours of teriyaki beef, moist rice, shredded carrots, beansprouts and cucumber slices all go well together and definitely makes for one filling meal!

I like this Tokyo Express location more than most, partially as it is large with ample seating and the service I receive here is really quite good.
The menu is pretty standard for a Tokyo Express location — in so far as fast food sushi goes on the prairies it isn’t bad. The cooked food is well labeled for the folks who are seeking out food without any raw fish. Sometimes I just eat the miso udon. Portions are quite ample and it is a great place for a quick snack.
I like the water refill station. The bento boxes are really filling. And the rolls are pretty good too.

Not unlike any other Tokyo Express! This location offered the same as any other.
The service is quick, efficient and friendly.
The menu here is not unlike most Japanese fast food joints. Offering a variety of Bento boxes, noodle/​rice bowls, tempura, sushi rolls and other popular side dishes. I usually go with a Bento with dumplings and spring rolls. I’ve gone with the chicken lately because the beef resembles deli style roast beef and that just isn’t my thing… But there are lots of Bento combinations to go with, something to please everyone’s palate I’m sure!
What I like about this location is how clean it always is! You’re not expected to clear your tray so it’s nice to see that the tables are maintained regularly.
The only downfall of this place is its hours. Usually closing relatively early considering its location.

If you are new to Japanese food, do NOT eat here. This is the «Mcdonalds» of Japanese dining. Cheap ingredients, seafood is not fresh and dishes are unappetizing. The spring rolls are okay. But how can anyone screw up spring rolls?

We ordered Salmon Lover, Rainbow Combo and Dynamite rolls, expecting a decent meal, but everything was so bland! No taste at all. We were very disappointed.
Not coming back again.

This is a VERY nice restaurant. They provide a clean refreshing atmosphere. Food was good and the price was right. Thanks for the bucket of ice and water.

I come in for miso soup and salmon maki when I’m dieting for a low cal option, and it’s consistently good.

Fake food and real prices. We ordered $ 40 worth of food and probably ate $ 10 worth. It was gross and fake and didn’t taste like sushi could. Nothing was good and we ordered an assortment of everything. Will not return.

This is my first time here and I’m not sure if it’s all locations or not or maybe it’s just me cause I am a cook (not a chef) but the food here is absolutely disgusting! I will never come here for «sushi» if that’s what you want to call it. All the food here is processed except for the rice and seaweed. I won’t be coming to any Tokyo express ever again.

Pretty decent takeout for my night shifts. Sometimes the sashimi is of poor quality but u get what u pay for. For sometink quick and decent. This place suits the bill.

Need some sushi love yo !

I love this particular Tokyo Express location for so so many reasons:
— I love sushi and I get cravings for it at least twice a week. If I could, I would have eaten sushi every day.
–it is always fresh
— the people who work there know how to roll these sushi rolls
— fast service
–you can stay and eat in as there is sufficient seating available
–my favourite orders are Mexican rolls or Spicy combo
I have been to other locations, but the quality here is perfectly comparable to some of the best sushi restaurants in town.

The popularity of this place escapes me as one ends up paying the same amount of money for sushi for food court quality stuff as one would at a proper sushi restaurant.
The rice is always dry fish quality is sub par.
I guess their teriyaki chicken bowl are acceptable. I have tried it with a double the meat option and it is fulfilling then.
Evening are better as lunch can have a lot of line ups.

It’s not bad for fast food sushi. The teriyaki chicken bowl is good. But it has gone downhill. This location used to be spotless, now it looks a little shabby. They also discontinued the free water and ice, which is a little cheap.

No, it’s not as fresh or tasty as straight-​from-​the-​coast Vancouver sushi. I’ll give you that. But come on, it’s fast food sushi in Alberta. It’s really pretty good if you come into Tokyo Express with the proper expectations.
Grabbing lunch here with some gal pals, our food came out pretty quickly, all things considered. (It’s a really busy spot for downtown lunchionatos.) I appreciate the tap, so you can refill your water yourself. There’s tons of seating in here, so no matter how busy it gets, there’s never a problem grabbing a table.
The tempura here is pretty decent, and I actually really like their veggie maki. (12 small maki rolls for $ 6 is totally within my budget, too.)

I had lunch at Tokyo Express today and it was yum yum yummy!
I wasn’t sure what I wanted when I went in so I asked the girl at the counter a couple questions and asked for her recommendation. She actually recommended something cheaper than I had chosen and I’m so glad she did. I saved money and my lunch was delicious!
I had the Mexican rolls. They were just like California rolls but they were stuffed with spicy tuna. They were REALLY good.
The staff was so friendly, they honestly made my day. Random acts of kindness are the best!
My food was fast and it was fantastic!

I check out this Tokyo Express when I’m craving sushi — during their business hours. It seems they also supply to the Safeway in the same parking lot and the 7 – 11 on 107^th Ave and 116^th St.
The rice bowls are good though I can’t eat them since I discovered my soy allergy. I like that you can choose to have the chicken skinless but if you forget to say so, you get skin by default.
The location is a definite improvement. They used to be on the other side of 116^th St in Oliver Square in sort of a cramped spot. It used to be very difficult to get around in there. So location and space wise, this is certainly better.

When I walked into Tokyo Express, it was kind of weird. I never thought sushi would ever go fast food, but it definitely has, in a big way. I liked the inside of this restaurant. It feels slightly nicer than a conventional fast food chain. It was really big and clean, and I liked how they have water taps, so you don’t have to spend money on buying bottled water.
I’m not big on sushi, so I was relieved to see that they had rice bowls. I ended up getting the teriyaki chicken. It was a bit busy, but I waited a long time for my food. I’m glad I had the free ice water to keep me busy. The food ended up being okay, but there were hardly any veggies, so that was dissapointing. It was not nearly as good at Edo and not any cheaper either. Overall, the experience was okay, but I think there are better options out there.

I often head to Tokyo Express when I want a lunch that is healthy and satisfying. Tokyo Express serves sushi and Japanese cuisine quickly. The lineups at lunch time are often enormous. My preferences include the salmon rice bowl, which has quite a large piece of pan-​fried salmon on top, served with sesame sauce. I also enjoy varieties of vegetarian sushi.
The quality of most of the food is average to above average, depending on the day and what you order. It certainly is not on par with most non-​fast food Japanese restaurants. However, if you are looking for something quick and inexpensive, Tokyo Express is not a bad option.
