I had a nice lunch that was a good value for the price. The chicken was just OK, but I really enjoyed the curry. One of the better curries I’ve had lately. It did need a little salt to taste so keep that in mind.

Went to this place due to its awesome review , and wished I never would have. Ordered the Chicken Katsu, and asked for Fried Rice instead of white rice. Received white rice with soggy peas and carrots mixed in, and overcooked, tough, dark meat that was presented as my Chicken Katsu.
Nothing about this food was good to me. The rice was undercooked and had that crunchy texture to it. The vegetables were mushy. And the chicken was tough and did not have a good taste to it either. Unfortunately I had to throw away my $15 meal . Was very disappointed with just about every aspect of my experience today at Tokyo Stop!

I really wanted to like this place because the owner was super nice, the prices were good, and the ambience was super cute. Unfortunately, the main event — chicken teriyaki — was very disappointing. The chicken had a weird texture, tough but mushy, and the sauce didn’t soak in to the meat at all. Hopefully they can improve the quality of the food, as the place is great otherwise.

This place was such a treasure to find. Intimate seating area. I really like when you can tell a place has been here for a while. We got the lunch box g, chili chicken with crab puffs and egg roll that comes with a drink, and the teriyaki chicken and beef plate. The chili chicken was so good and flavorful, I had no need to add any sauces at all, the teriyaki plate was more savory than sweet, but not bad at all, so good! . It came out to $27, so if you’re thinking about going to Panda Express, I’d recommend you come here first. The portion size is simple to choose from and gives you a bang for your buck.
Edit: I forgot to add, but someone came in and asked for “the usual” and I was NOT trying to eavesdrop but the cashier said it loud enough that I heard it. If I wanted to know more about this place, I think that gave me an even better view of this place.

This place was absolutely amazing. I was looking for a quick protein packed lunch one day and had a hankering for some teriyaki. This place was 5 minutes from my work and I can’t believe I had never been before! I ordered a large spicy teriyaki chicken, and it was so flavorful. The chicken is perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of sauce, plenty of rice, and veggies to go along with it. And the place was busy – but they got the food out fast! It’s always a great sign! Will definitely be going back!

Super friendly service and yummy homemade style meal! Love this small business that’s no-nonsense serving straight up steaming hot teriyaki chicken and rice, side salad and 3 crisp potstickers for a great price. Nothing too salty or greasy. Very busy when we went and all of the tables were full. But there’s fast turnover and we found a place to sit before our food order was ready. Definitely deserves a return visit to try more from the menu!

I used to work down the street & I would come here for lunch. Now when I’m in the area around lunch time I try to stop by. The food tastes great. The portion sizes are respectful for the reasonable cost. Customer service is always happy, kind and makes you feel that they want you there. I recommend adding this lunch restaurant into your rotation. I go for the “Lunch Box” combination.

I had a delightful experience at Tokyo Stop, located at 1335 W University Dr #6 in Tempe, AZ, while waiting for my listing appointment at 3:00 PM today. With my stomach growling, I decided to pop in for a quick lunch, and I’m so glad I did!
I ordered the #44, which includes their delicious chicken curry and chicken katsu. The curry was rich and flavorful, embodying the essence of traditional Japanese curry, while the katsu was perfectly crispy and satisfying. Both dishes were a treat for the taste buds! As I’m mindful of my rice intake due to type 2 diabetes, I appreciated the balance in the meal.
This was my first visit to Tokyo Stop, and I was impressed by the cozy atmosphere and friendly service. The restaurant is known for its affordable and tasty Japanese cuisine, featuring a variety of favorites like yakisoba, teriyaki chicken, and miso ramen, all praised for their fantastic flavors. The katsu is particularly popular, known for its crispy texture and generous portions, making it a favorite among locals.
I’m excited to return and explore more of their menu options. I also noticed a charming Japanese pastry shop next door, which I plan to visit to satisfy my sweet tooth.
What a yummy day it has been!

Enjoyed the lunch here. Super friendly service. A bit of a wait although not that busy. Had the pork katsudon and the beef teriyaki. Both were tasty and large portions. Great location in Tempe. We’d return.
