Really loved how quiet it was and the food was excellent! The portions were the perfect size for adults and small kids. The sushi was so good it was gone before I could even snap a picture. Our food came out very fast and was the perfect temperature. Definitely a great value for the food you get!

Taste of Tokyo in River Ridge is a small place, but it’s consistently very good. The food is fresh and well-prepared, and the staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming. It’s a family-run restaurant, and that shows in the best way. They remember your face, make you feel appreciated, and treat you like a regular even if you’re not there every week.
It’s also been pleasantly quiet every time we’ve gone in, which makes for a relaxed, enjoyable dining experience. No rush, no chaos, just good food and kind people who clearly care about what they do.
If you’re looking for a low-key spot with solid food and great service, this place is absolutely worth supporting.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had good Japanese food and I thought New Orleans didn’t have much of it. This restaurant proved me wrong. After my first bite I was so hungry I could not take a picture of the food. I ordered a Yaki Udon and Salmon, eel and tuna sushi accompanied by a hat Sake and hot green tea. Everything was made to perfection, a polite Chinese staff and the food was delivered promptly. They also accompanied the meal with a bowl of miso soup which reminded me of home. I couldn’t have been more satisfied. An excellent establishment, I’ll definitely be coming back.

Food was excellent! Highly recommend the voodoo roll and the pineapple fried rice. Bring your appetite because they aren’t stingy! We had a party of 6 and were served promptly. Only thing that could use some work is one of the the food runners needs to be told the name of the rolls because we don’t know what they look like lol. But that’s a small thing.

I had the Bento Box Lunch Special. The price was quite inexpensive at $9.99, but the quality just was not there. I ordered the beef cooked medium, but it came out as chicken. I didn’t want to wait, so I just ate it. It was OK, but nothing special and certainly not as good as that other local Japanese restaurant (on Citrus). My wife enjoyed the Playboy Roll. It looked better than what I had and my daughter had the Grilled Chicken Lunch special. She enjoyed that. If it were just me, I would give 3 stars, but the other meals looked pretty good. My advice would be to skip the lunch specials and just order the specialty sushi rolls. I’ve had those before and would recommend.

Excellent curry dishes, sushi, aged tofu, Yakatori, and Harumaki. Took a large order for 6 of us. No mistakes made on any order. Love the check out system when it’s time to pay.

Very very good sashimi and sushi. This location is far superior in service and quality of food than the sub par location in Destrehan. The hostess was super nice unlike the one in Destrehan. We will be back to enjoy another meal there at River Ridge.

I went in usually knowing what I want when I eat sushi. Had a death in the family and ordered a bunch of stuff. Ordered lobster roll. Half the roll had lobster tail SHELLS in the center. Went back today after calming from the sorrow of the night before. I assume the lady who waited on me last night was the owner she came out and with No regard of my situation which she knew from me explaining being distraught last night. She goes on to try to sell me another roll and explained on the teddy bear roll the sauce is drizzled you have to ask for more if you want it. So to make a longer story short I explained I will not order there again and wanted to be refunded for the lobster roll. She gave me 1.80 a 10 percent discount. As We say in America BAD BUSINES!! WILL NEVER GO BACK!

I went to Taste of Tokyo, and the server took our drink order. However, we waited for a long time for her to return. I had to flag the waitress down five times before she came back to take our food order. Our main course arrived before the appetizer, and after finishing the main course, we waited for the appetizer. One of the two appetizers never arrived, so I had to request its cancellation. Additionally, the salad that was supposed to come with the main course never arrived either. To top it off, the owner was rude. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant unless you’re okay with receiving your main course before your appetizer.

The environment in the store is so dystopia. The boarded up wall and the dark lightning was unpleasant.
I got the chicken teriyaki and sashimi. The sashimi fish weren’t the best cuts. The fish were alright. The chicken teriyaki was tough the sauce is sweet and flavorful. The salad on the side is a nice little refresher.
