Would have been here close to 100 times. Definitely a favourite. Cheap night out with decent food. Don't expect fine dining but it is still quality - it's westernised Japanese food. Can get busy occasionally which can be noisy, and service sometimes struggles with a full house. But overall a great place to duck in and have a quick meal
I got a sushi and sashimi bento and it was fresh, vibrant and delicious. Good value for money and very filling if made for an excellent take away option.
This is our go-to Friday night take-away. Really delicious food, friendly service and quick. The restaurant itself is welcoming and warm inside. I highly recommend!
From the outside I was a bit sceptical but inside its really quite pretty. Waitresses in traditional gowns, sake bottles and Japanese ornate fans. Food prices are great, service is efficient and the food itself was really really yum. Will be back.
Absolutely love this restaurant. The interior is beautiful. Not too bright or dark. I also love the staff’s adorable Japanese uniform. They are also incredibly attentive and friendly. Food is delicious. I highly recommend the bento boxes & the rainbow rolls. Food comes out fast and hot. Definitely worth your money.
We decided to try Tokyo Sake after looking in Zomato. Incredible! Great food, impeccable service. Really enjoyed the chicken wings! Oyako Don was great!
I love this place. Great food, and really nice staff. I always feel welcome at Tokyo Sake. I would like to see a few more vegan options however as well as a vegan bento box. I do also find the teriyaki sauce a bit sweet for my liking, just a stir fry option would be nice. Just little things for an awesome restaurant.

Weve been to this place a number of times and liked it. The food is nice and the staff are generally courteous . On our last visit though we had a poor experience with a young waitress we hadnt seen before. Everything was fine until we had finished our meal; my wife had at the start ordered some take away for our son and daughter who were not with us. When it was time to leave and the take away arrived my wife informed the girl that it wasnt complete and only one meal was provided and that she had ordered two . The waitress then proceeded to tell my wife that she had only ordered the one meal. I corrected her politely and informed her that I clearly heard my wife ordering 2 separate take away meals. At this point we could see that she was irritated and clearly not believing us.
No matter, my wife didnt argue but shrugged it off and ordered the second meal and we decided to wait as we weren't in a hurry . After the girl had gone the senior waitress (who was no doubt informed by the junior , appeared and enquired what the matter was. My wife explained what had happened; the older waitress seemed a little haughty and not too interested , advised that it will be ready in about 5 minutes and walked off. No apology.
About 30 minutes later the rest of the order arrived and we paid and left. I generally leave a decent tip but not this time . We left this place feeling annoyed. We didnt complain, raise our voices, belittle the young waitress or her older off sider, make a scene or any of that. Yet my wife was made to feel as if she had got it wrong . Neither of the two staff apologised or at least , in the interest of good customer service , suggest that it was an unfortunate misunderstanding. We are in two minds whether to go back . The food is nice and you cant blame the Chef or other staff for the actions of one or two . However, it showed me how poor staff can help wreck a good business. We will go back but any more hiccups like that and we wont be going back, good food or not.
Went here for dinner last night for my birthday.
The venue was filled with beautiful Japanese culture, water fountains and giant fans and greenery. Very welcoming.
The staff and management were absolutely lovely! Very kind, sweet, polite and non-invasive.
The food was nothing short of outstanding! Every plate that came out of the kitchen turned heads! We ordered 5 courses and all came out very fast, the presentation and authenticity was a knock out!
We were so very impressed! We will definitely be back! Thank you Tokyo Sake!!! 10/10!!!
Service was great! Food was ok. The sushimi was amazing, definitely the best I've had in the area. The tempura prawns were ok, but have had better. The teppanyaki plate was good, the lamb was great, however the squid in the seafood one wasn't that great. Overall good food, but wouldn't come again.
Went here for my partners birthday last night and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the food was beautifully prepared and very fresh. It was definitely one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time and we'll be back for sure!
Sashimi is great, pan fried gyoza a bit salty so are the tepanyaki seafood and gluten free port meal. A bit of wait for dish to come out despite not seems too busy in the restaurant.
Really friendly staff, fresh food, and beautiful atmosphere with burning wood fire, decorations and scented candles. I also really enjoyed the complimentary salad it was delicious! The spicy chicken bento was very spicy but delicious. The sashimi bento was fantastic but probably needed to be a bit larger as contained a lot of garnish. But prefer quality over quantity so it was great. But loved it and will definitely return.
Always delicious - freshest sushi in town - never disappoints! Decor a tad dated, but food is not to be complained about. Always a happy customer!

I can't believe I've lived right around the corner from this restaurant for seven years and never been there! I corrected this oversight with my partner tonight and we thought it was great! For me, Japanese food is an art, it's either great, or it's terrible. I'm happy to report that Tokyo Sake gets it right! In looking at some of the other reviews of this restaurant, I can't believe people are rating it lower because of the interior decor (it's in an old bank building). For me a restaurant review needs to be about three things, food, service and price (providing the place isn't so bad its a heath hazard!) Tokyo Sake met all my expectations in these three areas tonight.
The food was simply mouth watering. We had difficulty picking entrees between us and ended up selecting three entree's between the two of us, expecting them to be small. We were surprised to see they were quite generous. We tried the Gyoza (pan fried dumplings), Yakitori (chicken skewers with teriyaki sauce) and vege spring rolls. All were good, with the dumplings and skewers a real standout.
For main course I selected the Sukiyaki Beef Teppanyaki and my partner selected the Spicy Chicken Teppanyaki. Both were served on sizzling hot plates, and both were delicious!
Service was fast (perhaps too fast at the start, but after mains were served we were left to relax and enjoy) everyone was friendly, and the food came out fresh and hot.
I also think the restaurant was reasonably priced for the quality of food, certainly no more expensive than others in the area.
Overall we had a very positive experience at Tokyo Sake and I can't wait to go back!
Have eaten here twice and overall it has been delightful. The service was friendly, the food came out relatively quickly. The quality of the food was great. We tried a few dishes are weren't disappointed. Overall some of the entrees do seem overpriced the edamame particularly.
This is a nice unaffected little Japanese restaurant. Contrary to what a few reviewers say below, I've never had food here that wasn't fresh and well-prepared (I will pause to point out that a number of the reviewers who've given very low scores have never posted reviews elsewhere on Zomato, and in one case the reviewer has just one other review in their profile and that one effusively praises a different local Japanese - make of that what you will).
My partner and I eat here from time to time, and frequently have takeaway. We mostly order the sushi, or the sushi/sashimi combinations and the fish is always good. Gyoza is tasty and the one time I had tempura it was nicely prepared and fresh.
The restaurant is simple and unpretentious and the staff are always polite and helpful. It's not the most fancy place in the restaurant world, but it provides reliable and very decent cuisine.
The salmon bento box is delicious! It was the perfect size and everything in it was yummy! The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant!
Quick customer service and food was packed with flavour. Although food was on the expensive side it was of good quality with a range of dishes to choose from including classic Japanese desserts.
Amazing food, lovely staff & very quick service. Very much looking forward to the next time I go back. (Which is in 2 days time) Highly recommend.
We dined here last night and were very impressed and happy. Service was very friendly and attentive. We loved the decor of the resturant. Our bentobox were flavour some and very reasonably priced. Couldn't ask for me! Will be back!

Saturday night, suburban restaurant, should be able to just walk in, I thought... Oh how little I knew. We did get a table but we had to wait a few mins for it to be ready. The restaurant was full! After eating there I can see why! We had vegetable tempura and gyoza for starters. The tempura was crisp and very delicious with the vegetables being soft and fully cooked inside. The gyoza was a bit oddly shaped - long and pointy but tasted great. For mains, I had a bento - sashimi - and my guest had the Japanese curry. Having recently traveled to Japan and tried curry there I can safely say that the curry served here was very authentic. The spices were gentle, the vegetables inside soft and well cooked, exactly how they are meant to be. And the 'katsu' - fried crumbled chicken - was delicious and quite flavorful. The umashu - plum wine - was a direct import from Japan and served on the rocks - as I prefer it so I was happy!
The staff were attentive without being over bearing which added to a lovely, if someone casual dining experience. One I would highly recommend.
When I went into work the next day, let's just say that some of the people who live near there weren't surprised at my experience. The place is well known in the area for being great!
Very lovely food as always! Great waiting service.
Prices on the expensive side but the lamb was beautiful, and the pork dumplings. Will be back!
Family Favourite. First went to here last year for my brother's sixteen birthday. Have been back a few times since, and have loved it every time. The staff are incredibly friendly, the service is prompt and the food is always delicious. Definitely the best Japanese restaurant in the area, with plenty of options that my family can eat (We're a family of vegetarians). I'm intending to go there in a few days for my 19th birthday.
Nice little local. Food has always been beautiful whenever we go, service is fast and well priced.
Yum. Our first time here. Excellent quality food that came out fast, and great service. We moved from the city a few months ago and its nice to find a restaurant out in the burbs that is on par with what we were used to in the CBD. Will definitely be back.
Some of the pretentious reviews here are laughable! This is a cheap eat in the suburbs not high end fine Japanese dining. Great for when you don't feel like up the dishes
Food was Delicious!! The tempura prawn is actually fried freshly. rainbow roll and yakitori are fabulous. And the service is quite good. Love to come again.
This place was ok, old building didn't have that Japanese restaurant feel like others do. Non Japanese waitresses, no kimonos, was just lacking. Food was ok but over priced
Love it. Visited for a birthday in 2013 and had a Banquet for 5 people. All the food was absolutely delicious, tasted fresh and we all felt was great value for money. We had warm sake with our meal, too. My only complaint would be that the green tea ice cream wasn't that great - but I think that was just my tastebuds and nothing wrong with the actual ice cream.
A dinner a day. Tokyo Sake..... Where do I begin? We always seem to go there if we can't be bothered making dinner. I mostly have the rainbow roll and miso soup and every now and then would have a bento box, while my mum, dad and two brothers would always have the bento box. They are always delicious and there's no point where I get sick of what I'm eating or find anything under cook or gross. They always say hi to us because we've been there so many times and they are so friendly and serve us with a complimentary entree. I would defiantly recommend it to everyone and would defiantly recommend the bento box and rainbow roll.
My Fav Place To Eat!!!!. We have dined at Tokyo Sake many times
Prompt service and yummy food! Great for a family.
Fantastic little restaurant. Gorgeous inside. The staff are friendly and attentive. Meals are presented beautifully and are really tasty. I will definitely be back. :)
Best Japanese restaurant ever:-))
Best prawn tempura!. Get to tokyo sake for the best tempura prawn! To die for! always good quick service here too! give it a try!
Excellent. Four of us visited for a full Saturday night. All the food was well cooked, authentic and of generous serves. The bento box sets are highly recommended - you get a "bit of everything" - plus your main choice of the feature. The staff were all happy and obliging. Fully licensed with reasonable prices, and BYO wine. Wise to make a reservation for Saturday nights. Will be our new suburban Japanese restaurant.
Simply awesome. My family and I ate here today and the meal was beautiful
We ate gyoza, tempura and yakatori for entree, every one of the entree's was fresh, quick and tasted fantastic. The stand out was the tempura I would have been happy to just eat this all night as it was light, golden and crunchy
For main we ate sukiyaki beef teppanyaki with rice, this arrived to the table sizzling on the hot plate which our kids loved the excitement. The beef was tender thin sliced with vegetables and beautiful sukiyaki sauce. We also ate a serve of rainbow California rolls that arrives perfectly presented with prawn, salmon, avocado and mango.
All in all this was a great experience and we will be back for sure
We went last night and absolutely loved it. The service was great and the food was excellent.
Everyone and anyone who appreciates good authentic Japanese will love this place. I honestly could not fault Tokyo Sake. It has been a faveourite for 2 years now. Must try the sweet Californian Suchi Rolls- DELISH!! And the bento box is amazing- we always share as I couldn't eat one on my own.
And the staff are beautiful- always smiling & very attentive. Enjoy :-)
Food's good. Can't believe.... Food's good.
Can't believe they use tea bag! Even the taste probably same, but the feeling is like: Wow, are we in the food court or what?
Always great. Have been to Tokyo Sake many times and always had a great meal. The Udon soup is delcious and much nicer than the usual miso soup you only seem to be able to get at other Japanese restaurants.
Banquets are what we usually have and all courses are of the highest quality. Bento box is good too.
Staff are always welcoming and friendly (much better than staff at Suishaya Inn) and great value for money.
Never disappointed.

Outstanding All Round!. My partner and I took my son out for his 9th birthday tonight to Tokyo Sake for dinner.
The service was friendly and most attentive. Loved the lemon wedge in the water, something you just don't see with any sort of frequency these days, a very nice touch.
We were served a house salad almost immediately after ordering and it was truly delicious. Light and fresh on the palate with a tangy carrot dressing.
As we tend to do with Japanese, we ordered an array of entree meals and shared them. The Gyoza was gorgeous. My partner and I have tried to put our finger on what was different about it, but simply can't work out what it is, however, what ever it is, it makes the dish a stand out.
My son had an entree Tempura which he loved, especially the water chestnut. My partner and I shared a main Yasi Tempura (Vegetarian) and the Chinese Daisy (we thought it parsley and realised upon tasting it wasn't, so asked it's name) was beyond delicious.
The main Sashimi my partner and I shared was fresh and lovely and extremely generous in portion.
The Harumaki was gorgeous and my son thought it beyond fabulous, he was mad about the Gyoza too.
The Miso soup was flavoursome and warm and just what we needed on this cold night. While often I find Miso can be a little on the salty side, this soup I can only call perfect.
I ordered a Nasu Dengaku (Eggplant with a sweet Miso sauce) and it was just magnificent.
We eat a fair bit of Japanses, whenever we can really and I have to say, Tokyo Sake is a local restaurant that we will be frequenting from here on in, whenever we have the inclination for Japanese.
The only drawback of the evening is that we bought our own Sake with us, unaware that BYO was for wine only and not Sake as well. This was no major deal as Sake is sold, quite reasonably by the carafe and the bottom one on the wine list is nothing short of sensational.
If you live in the Ringwood area or are heading out that way for a meal and have the inclination for Japanese, you simply CANNOT go past this restaurant. it is reasonably priced and them meals are generous, prepared to perfection, the service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing in any way and the atmosphere is warm and cosy.
We all walked away VERY, VERY IMPRESSED. My son even walked up to the front counter and thanked the staff for his delicious birthday dinner and told them it's the best Japanese he's ever had and he reiterated it to us on the way to the car, in the car and once in bed.
Give this restaurant a try and you will not be disappointed.
Yummy dinner. Entrees full of flavour so to mains lovely place close to home for a filter dinner.
First like!. Awesome food, awesome ambiance, awesome service. Will definitely come back here!
The Rainbow rolls were amazing! We had so much to eat and the bill was very very reasonable.
Tasty Japanese in good ol ringwood. Fantastic there is a local option for enjoying decent Japanese, flavours are nice and ingredients fresh. If you're up for some Japanese but not the travel then recommend for sure. Bento Bix takeaway looked good too
Nice food at a very reasonable price. Fast and friendly service.
Service was quick and friendly, atmosphere was lovely. The set menu banquet was delicious and filling. Great value for your dollar. Will be back soon.
One of the best around. My wife and I have been going here for two years since our daughter was born. From the first visit the staff have been amazing to the point that now as soon as we walk in they have a bowl of noodles (noo noo's) ready for our daughter. They also play with our daughter when it's quiet so we can actually finish our dinner. Great food and fantastic staff. Can't recommend highly enough
Great local Japanese. This restaurant is great! My friend and I ended up here on a whim (we attempted to get into Suishaya Inn but they were fully booked out) and what a great accident it turned out to be! The eggplant with miso glaze was textbook perfection - steamed well with the right amount of bite, not drowning in oil like other places I've been.
The rainbow roll clean and fresh, and my vege bento box was so enormous I couldn't even get through half of it! Highlights were the creamy salad and the amazing tempura - again there was no oily residue, it was so light and crisp. My friend's spicy pork certainly lived up to its name, she was breaking a sweat towards the end.
Service was very friendly and attentive, and it was the little extras that really counted (lemon in the water glasses, drinks poured at the table.) To top it off, the joint is BYO - we will be back, and with a much larger group next time!
High quality. Went with a group of 6. We all enjoyed the food. 3 of us had the sizzlingTeriyaki Seafood which was more than ample and very tasty. The food was beautifully presented,
great flavours and well priced. The place was fairly well patronised on the night, but the time it took for our orders to be taken was a bit too long. Much better
food than the Suishaya Inn in Ringwood.
Tempura was cooked to perfection; all dishes were tasty. The "curry" Bento Box was to die for. If you are looking for traditional decor go to Japan. The staff were friendly and attentive - good value overall.
Great little Japanese restaurant. Refurbished since our last visit some time ago and looking very nice. Like all businesses at the moment looking for staff but service was responsive and attentive. Meals were very good. The establishment is licensed (wine selection limited but well priced), usual beers plus a few Japanese brands and saki of course. You can also byo ( I think that corkage was $2 per head). Will visit again.
Everything was great, very polite and professional staff. Outstanding food. Highly recommended
Our group of eight shared a tasty array of dishes and enjoyed our visit. When one of our party took suddenly ill, the staff was particularly helpful. We would visit again.
If you're looking for Japanese food, this is the right place for you.
Good food, prices and costumer service. The staff is very friendly.
This place is a total gem! The decor is traditional and provides a great atmosphere. The food is fantastic and everytime takes me back to my visits to Japan. The staff are really friendly and go out of their way to help you if you ask. Highly recommend trying as hard as possible to come to this restaurant!
Great food! The Teppanyaki and Sushi are fantastic! Service was fast and friendly. Would recommend to my friends. Will be going again 👍
