Tokie's Downtown - San Mateo

Good Japanese dishes and great ambience atmosphere.The restaurant is located far away from the crowded downtown area. We came before dinner time. The restaurant is decorated in Japanese style with dim lighting. Each seating table is spacious.We only ordered 4 dishes. I thought the best were the agedashi tofu and the fresh sashimi. The stir fried chicken teriyaki noodles were okay, but the beef udon was a bit off taste.Vegetarian options: They have a few vegetarian dishesKid-friendliness: Offer kid’s high chairs and plastic utensilsParking: Limited paid street parking, so it’s best to find a nearby public parking instead driving around the street

Sushi bar is no good. There is a wall so you can’t see the chefs at work. Also the wall has annoying lights glaring.Food: 4/5

I'm definitely coming going back, short ribs to die for, even the miso soup that it's usually plain was great. Had a couple of the signatures drinks and now I want to try them all.Food: 5/5

Yesterday, my wife and I had a delightful dining experience at the Japanese restaurant. We tried the delicious Chicken Teriyaki, Salmon Sake Roll, and Dragon Roll. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was inviting, creating a pleasant dining ambiance. Moreover, we were pleased with the reasonable prices, making it a fantastic value for the quality of food and overall experience. We highly recommend this restaurant for a satisfying Japanese culinary adventure.

We arrived around 5:30pm and was seated immediately. Dragon roll was my favorite. The cloudy saki is always fun. Great customer service.Food: 5/5
