    There is an instant “vibe” to Tokio Pub that makes you feel like you can relax and have a fun experience. We had their restaurant week menu options with a few extras added in. It was a blustery night so the miso soup hit all the spots. I liked the bits of mushroom in it. The Red Dragon was delicious. We also had the roll that has salmon and lemon. So light but satisfying. I also like whatever brand of soy sauce that they offer for sushi. Madison was the dream server. Knowledgeable, attentive and politely amused at my weird requests. (I wanted a special spoon for my vanilla ice cream.) My edamame were good but were a little tough. More time being steamed or maybe less? Not a meal breaker. Best part is they had a cool mock tail! It was a mojito, raspberry?, who cares it was nice so I could imbibe with my buddy while not consuming-OH. Great experience as always! I forgot to order some tuna crispy rice so I’ll have to come back!
