Detail Review:

After a few hours of driving, I finally come back to Pittsburgh. Why? Because I quitted a hopeless research lab and move to MD. In the next couple days, I will stay at Pittsburgh to clean up my house and return it to the landlord, so I have chance to visit one of my favorite restaurant again which is Tokyo. Tokyo is a city name in Japan, it also sound like "Todai" which is a chain japanese restaurant. The closest Todai from MD is at VX, I plan to go there with my wife for her birthday at the end of the month, and I will report that visit in this blog . Let's talk back Tokyo, the business was started half year ago. The selling points of the restaurant are cheap and variety of food. There are around 40 different types of sushi & roll; and 30 different types of cooked seafood & meat. The price is only around $20 for dinner.

The sushi quality is good, becuase there are more than 10 types of raw fish to make the sushi. Moreover, they provide ~5 different types of all you can eat sashimi. It is very different than other sushi buffets which only provide "extremely thin cutting fish" on the sushi and not provide any sashimi. Tokyo also use some cooked ingredients to make sushi and roll, like cream chess, salmon skin, scallop, etc. They also have some cooked japanese dishes, like tempura, crab legs, mixed seafood, steam fish, etc. To be honest, not all sushi and cooked dishes are good, but at least 50% of the sushi and dishes are delicious and the rest are considered fair (at least that is what I think). Well, I still have a variety of choice from the delicious dishes, so I give the food quality a very high score. The buffet area looks very nice and many decoration on the food, so the environment score is very high too. Overall, Tokyo is very good and I will introduce it to my friends.
