I really, really wanted to love this place. It took me a while to leave this review because I was kind of befuddled about how the experience was- as the combination of food and service was just ok. The restaurant is decorated beautifully. All the glittery, pink Kawaii decor was fabulous. I think in a larger space it would be more appreciated. I came with my 11 year old son who lives sushi. We were seated by the kitchen and were bumped by the servers frequently when they brought out food. There are only a couple of tables outside of the bar seating. The food was good not great but good. The ingredients were all fresh and high quality. The portions are small- which is ok. I really liked the desert with the macaroons and fruity pebble like crispy things. It is a sharing size and I did not find it too sweet. I thought it was delicious. I did enjoy the karage style chicken but it was quite small. My son loved the sushi- it was fresh and flavorful. I did not try the drinks as I do not drink alcohol. We do drink mocktails and virgin drinks, however the bartenders did not come to serve us or even acknowledge our presence at the bar and with the seating as uncomfortable as it was – I didn’t care and just really wanted to finish and go. The pricing was quite fair- I did not feel like I overpaid. I think the food is very good but lacking operational efficiency’s. I would come back with nieces as they would live this cutesy, pink glittery space and it want overpriced.

The second you walk into Tokiodelic you get the sense that you are in a new city (Tokyo) but also at home at the same time. The bar is super fun to sit at with an awesome cocktail creator- Daniel. We opted for a table due to ordering more than a few items- all family style. We started with fun cocktails Kamikaze girls and a black sesame old fashioned, followed by a Spicy tuna avocado sando, and Takoyaki. All amazing and bursting with unique flavor. The DIY sushi kit is a must! Once again a truly unique experience that I will now be a regular and return to thanks to the amazing service from Daniel and our other Steven! Please be sure to ask for the Orange You Up cocktail!!! Totally new and also bursting with flavor and authenticity like its creator.

I was really bummed about this after seeing it on Instagram. I had hoped to have a special dinner experience with my kiddos but was met with quite the opposite. They were out of a lot of menu items. We settled on the Pork Katsu platter, Pork Gyoza, The Chicken Karaage and fries, and the Takoyaki egg salad. We also ordered the Shibuyu Galaxy drink, a ramune (they only had the original flavor), and Grimoire which is supposed to be a black sesame old fashioned.
The good: my kids thought the bathroom was neat. They were surprised by the big flowers. My son said he enjoyed The Pork Katsu meal. I called ahead to ask a few questions before booking my reservation and the gentleman who answered from the kitchen was really kind and helpful. The plating of the sauces for the fries is a cute idea. The fries themselves were shoestring cut and pretty good. The Pork Gyoza was decent but it tasted just like the frozen kind I get from HMart.
The disappointment:
#1 Conveyors: They do not serve food or drinks on the conveyors. They have little plastic, dusty, figurines and things on plates that circulate around. That was one of the major reasons I wanted to come, as we usually get conveyor belt sushi in Jersey City and we’re looking for a place that offers a similar experience without the commute. We even reserved space at the bar just to make sure we’d get that experience.
#2: They say they serve family style, but the portions are too small for that to actually be the case. I think they just want a reason to excuse each plate coming out individually instead of at the same time.
#3: The chicken and fries were not as pictured. I’ll show you what I saw on their Instagram page vs. what we received in the attached photos. We got three small pieces of chicken and a chunk of fried batter. I asked if this was all we got. My son said it tasted funny so I took a bite and it just tasted overwhelmingly like grease. I am a huge fan of Karaage and knew it was going to taste different than American fried chicken. This tasted like grease.
#4 The grimoire did not have even a hint of sesame flavor. It was just an overpriced old fashioned.
#5 Once we placed our orders, things in the rest of the restaurant got really busy and we didn’t see the servers again. I had to ask for the ramune and for the check. No checking on how things were going.
My kids response was “Mom, can we please not come back here.” So do what you will with that.

Tokiodelic is one of those NYC spots that almost dares you not to like it — loud, playful, a little chaotic, and unapologetically creative. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear this isn’t a traditional sushi restaurant. It’s more of a neon-lit, late-night, “let’s see what happens if we mash together Japanese flavors with downtown New York energy” kind of place. And honestly? That mostly works.
The food is where Tokiodelic really shines. The rolls are inventive without crossing into gimmick territory, and everything we tried was fresh, well-balanced, and thoughtfully plated. The whipped queso (yes, queso) somehow makes sense here — creamy, unexpected, and weirdly addictive. It’s the kind of dish you order out of curiosity and end up thinking about later. Fish quality was solid across the board, rice was on point, and portion sizes felt fair for the neighborhood.
The vibe is definitely part of the experience. It’s high-energy, music-forward, and feels built for a night out rather than a quiet dinner. That said, it can get very loud and crowded, especially during peak hours, which isn’t ideal if you’re hoping for conversation or a relaxed meal. Seating is tight, and the room feels more like a party than a place to linger — not a dealbreaker, but something to know going in.
Service was friendly and fast, though at times a little rushed. Staff clearly knows the menu and is happy to give recommendations, but when the place is slammed, the pace can feel transactional rather than warm. Again, understandable given the volume, but it keeps the experience just shy of truly great.
Pricing is pretty standard for Lower East Side dining — not cheap, not outrageous — and you generally feel like you’re getting what you pay for. Drinks were creative and fun, though not especially memorable, and the menu overall rewards sharing and ordering a little outside your comfort zone.
Bottom line: Tokiodelic is a fun, energetic, very “New York” dining experience with legitimately good food and a strong identity. It loses one star for noise, crowding, and a slightly rushed feel, but it’s still absolutely worth a visit — especially if you’re out with friends and in the mood for something bold, modern, and a little unhinged in the best way.

Very minimal review.
The food was horrible. I got the chicken teriyaki. It seemed as if they just boiled the chicken and drizzled a small amount of sauce on top. The plate was 90% of dry rice and 10% flavorless chicken.
Server made us feel pressured to tip. The individual would “whisper” (I heard it) to others about the amount of tip we gave initially so we felt pressured to tip more after. Tipping is not mandatory.
The tap water tasted like it had bleach in it.
We thought the food would be served on the conveyor belt, but it wasn’t :/
Alcohol drinks were okay.
This place isn’t much to brag about honestly. It definitely was not what I was expecting it to be. This place is mostly for aesthetics.

Interesting concept, but poorly executed in every way.
The food was just okay, not really anything great, but not bad per se (except for the cauliflower, which was just straight up burnt).
Maybe the decorations just aren’t my thing, but it felt a bit creepy more than anything, and the conveyor being completely non-functional feels like a big missed opportunity.
Had to wait a ridiculously long time for my food, especially considering how relatively empty the place was. Someone I was with had to ask where her meal was after 40 minutes of nothing, after which her meal magically was ready within 2 minutes. Maybe just a coincidence, but it kind of seems like they just forgot about our order.
Overall I’d say this place isn’t really worth going to, there’s plenty of much better places to go to all over the area.

This new restaurant is insane! It has flashy Kawaii decoration, with excellent service. You can order savory onigiris with themed cocktails to top it up. Daniel (the host) is super nice and will give you the best recommendations! Please don’t hesitate to visit

Japanese diner food with an exquisite touch. Had the mentaiko cream pasta and it was delicious. My partner had the karaage and gyoza. Highly, highly recommended for a whimsical spot with delicious and affordable food in SoHo.

My friends and I were in NY for the weekend and I wanted to visit Sushidelic for dinner. I was determined to get a cute drink, a cute dessert, and the sushi tower.
The food was tasty, the service was great, and the decor was exactly as expected.
Glad to have went before they close for remodeling to a new concept.
