New Tokyo Restaurant in Marina

The takeout sushi I just got was excellent. I just came back from Japan where I learned Japanese food is all about attention to detail even if the dishes seem simple and this sushi was better than a lot of sushi I had in japan. The fish, ginger, and other ingredients were so fresh and well prepared. Definitely worth the 21 dollars for 8 rolls of generous size. My only complaint is the can of coke was 2.50 which seems steep. But this is a high quality place overall. Ate my sushi in the nearby park and had a good time.

New Tokyo is a small restaurant located in a small strip mall near the Wells Fargo bank in Marina. This restaurant is owned by a Vietnamese couple and the female owner prepares the Sushi and serves as a waitress. Her husband is the cook. The female owner was very friendly and attentive and I felt very comfortable and welcomed. I ordered the lunch special which consisted of a green salad rice, Tempura and chicken Teriyaki. The portion is very generous and the food was good. I’m very particular about Japanese food because I come from a family of Japanese cooks. The prices are very reasonable and definitely a bargain for the amount of food you receive. The restaurant is rather small and not anything fancy and it could use some TLC and a bit of cleaning. Overall I think the food is decent and I would definitely return again. Plenty of parking available on a private lot and there’s also street parking available.

Lunch was mediocre. The ramen was tasty, but not exceptional. The sushi was just ok.

My family and I have been coming here for 20+ years now and they never disappoint! The food is always amazing and they have the freshest fish around. %100 my favorite restaurant of all time. I’ll keep coming back here till the day I die!Shoutout to the owners, for blessing me with their amazing food over the years!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

Everything was delicious! I swung by before heading back home, and eating here was honestly the highlight of my trip to Monterey! If I ever go back, itll be to eat here.

The special dinner bento box has increased price, but the food portion has decreased. They used to serve miso soup with it but they have removed it. This is a bummer since I liked it. Now you have to order it separately. The place is a somewhat cozy but requires lots of cleaning. I hope they can bring the miso soup back into the special dinner bento box.

I went with my family and was able to try their fried noodles, tempura shrimp roll, scallop sushi and cold soba. Everything was absolutely delicious and EXTREMELY fairly priced. The fried noodles had lots of shrimp (coctail size and small sized) as well as scallops, the shrimp tempura was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The scallops on the sushi were extremely tender and flavorful with a generous topping of roe. The buckwheat noodles were also fantastic. Only complaint about the food is that it takes a little bit to get to your plate, so dont go if youre in a rush. I highly recommend coming here

Oh my goodness New Tokyo is a huge letdown to Japanese cuisine. The restaurant is somewhat dirty and run down and the atmosphere and ambiance is not very inviting or welcoming. This restaurant needs a thorough cleanup and renovation. I must also make note that this restaurant is not owned or operated by Japanese. The owners are Chinese or Vietnamese. The business is a family affair and run by a husband and wife. The woman also prepares the Sushi in plain view of customers. The male owner who also serves as the waiter works in the kitchen as well. The Teriyaki was very overcooked and the Teriyaki sauce didn’t help. The Sushi was really bad and the rice was not Sushi rice. The Sashimi (raw fish ) was really bad and the fish was obviously not fresh. It was sent back because it was not edible. The Tempura was made with a different type of batter and it was not like any Japanese style I have ever experienced. Family members who were visiting from Japan laughed at the crude attempt of the so called Japanese food that was served.Definitely not a restaurant that I would recommend.

Forgot about this place, but recently was in the area and glad we did. Great food at prices that I havent seen in years. Well be going back when in the area for sure!!

Nice quiet restaurant with delicious food and friendly service. I had the chicken teriyaki and california roll, both of which were excellent. The teriyaki was the best Ive ever had.
