Sooo goood!. I may not be Japanese, but I know good sushi when I taste it. I have been to over 20 different Japanese/sushi restaurants in RI, MA, NJ, and NY and Tokyo is still one of my favorites. I love sushi and I love Tokyo. The waitstaff are friendly and accomadating. The prices are great and the atmosphere is pleasant. The fact that Tokyo is byob is also a definite plus! I don't care what anyone else says, Tokyo is absolutely yummy! If you think Tokyo sushi is tasteless you must not have tastebuds! I recommend Tokyo to everyone who loves sushi or wants to try it.

Awesome sushi. A great family owned place. I love their sushi. You can call with a reservation, but they don't really hold it, and they're very use to large crowds just walking in (since there's two major colleges, Brown and RISD, right down the road and it's an art district.) The food s excellent - the owners are from Japan and rarely close the shop to return to Japan and visit . Their shop interior itself isn't exciting, taking a stroll down Wickenden after the meal is fun. Parking can get difficult during busy hours and is street-side - carpool if there's going to be a large group. Also, when they get busy (usually mid-late nights), prepare to wait a while. They also have a tatami room, but it's very hard to get into and you will most likely need a reservation for it. Don't bother trying to go on Friday or Saturday nights. It's packed with locals and you'll wait forever and ruin the experience. I was originally introduced to this place by a two friends, one another local like myself and a Shinto priest I work for. It's a great place and a good way for tourists to hang with locals.

best sushi in R.I.. i've been eating sushi for nearly a decade now, and have had it in many different places around the country. the sushi at tokyo is always fresh and delicious, and at times is some of the best i've ever had.

pros: reasonable (but by no means "cheap") prices, which are better than many other local places, their BYOB policy (there's an excellent wine shop around the corner) and, of course, their excellent sushi. their staff is very nice as well.

cons: their service can be nothing short of intolerable on friday and saturday nights when they're slammed. i recommend going for lunch any day, or dinner on the quiet nights. skip the rush nights, because the place is packed and your experience will suffer as a result.

all things considered, this is likely the best sushi you're going to find in R.I.

Excellent place. Tokyo is excellent. The wait staff is very nice as well as the area. I am a BIG sushi fan and have had it from all around. I can honestly say that they are one of the best Japanese establishments in Providence and in Boston. Thats why I come once or twice a week :)

Try the Boston roll!!

Who would've though. I was told about this small little sushi place about 6 months ago and haven't stopped going since. The number of options grows daily and everything about the fish and food is great. Another bonus is it's BYOB, which leaves you with a little extra in the pocket when you leave. Prices are very reasonable and I find service to be what's expected in most restaurants.
