Reviews for Tokyo Club

Had dinner here last night – a great little spot with very delicious food choices and Japanese-style ambiance. The wait staff were very attentive and polite, and our selections, plus repeats of favourites, arrived almost as soon as ordered. Do try eating out here if you’re a fan of Japanese cuisine.

I took my friend for lunch to Tokyo Club on nice sunny day.
Loved sitting outside table which is like a “IRORI” style.

Selection of sake is wonderful. Their original sake :SARASA: is quite nice.

EDAMAME beans are added light of amount of salt.
OKONOMIYAKI was nice, has good moisture, most of restaurant dose over cooked.

If you want to have decent Japanese food, go Tokyo Club.

A friend and I had lunch at Tokyo Club recently and we had the okonomiyaki and a few other small dishes, all the food was delicious and the service was great, would definately go back there and recommend to others

This is one of my favourite Japanese restaurants. The food is izakaya style – consistently good and well presented. I especially liked the deep fried squid legs with Asahi on tap. And there is a great range of sake to choose from. I will definitely be returning.

Being a local resident we wanted to support and like the Tokyo Club but unfortunately we found it to be very average and very expensive. The adamame beans were cold, hard and had very little seasoning.
The duck dumplings were luke warm. The teriyaki chicken was quite good but the beef fillet was absolutely tasteless, overcooked and disappointingly small for $26. With a bottle of wine it came to $120 and we weren’t even at a table. As we were leaving we bumped into some friends who were about to be served, we spoke the next day and they too said how average they also found it to be. I’m sorry but we will not be going there again and that’s a shame because we love Japanese food.

Just had an excellent evening at Tokyo Club.

Beautifully presented and fresh sashimi, followed by an lamb teppan cooked to perfection and accompanied by some Japanese beer.

Will definitely come back.

Lunch on a hot summers day was cold Sake along with sashimi in a very vibrant environment. Great choice of seating at either the bar, inside or outside.

Very quick and friendly service.

We will be heading back soon.

This place is great! Relaxed atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff and amazing food – the okonomiyaki is incredible.
The lunch menu is very well priced and the dinner menu is very reasonable.
The house special cocktails are delicious and well crafted and the sake selection is extensive.
Great place to eat!

Great little find in the gem of the new Ponsonby Central! Great service, atmosphere and very authentic too. Casual style with great selection of beer, sake and wine.

You can watch the chefs make your food in front of you, enjoy the sounds of Radio Ponsonby right next door.

I found it a great place to kick back and relax with friends, enjoying Japanese tap beer and teppan style steak and seafood.

Outside has two tables with gas fire, great for the cooler evenings.

There are tables for more private dinning round the side, great design too.

Only complaint would be that you can’t book.

I’ve tried sake and food match, and it was awesome!! I’ve basically done the same as with wine, guided myself through the great list of sake and asked a little suggestion for a sushi and sake. The sweet smell and taste of those Ginjo-shu matched perfectly with sushi and sashimi. Thank’s Tokyo Club!!
