The food was exquisite and the staff wonderful. While it’s difficult to get a reservation, it’s well worth the wait until you can get a spot. I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s a must-do if you are visiting the city.

Visiting Tojo feels like coming home. We've been dining there for over 27 years, and the staff always provide attentive yet unobtrusive service. While the prices are higher than other Japanese restaurants, every penny is worth it. We've never had a bad experience or meal. Tojo crafts each dish with heart, and if you've seen his documentary, you'll understand his philosophy and appreciate his food even more. I hope Tojo stays healthy and continues to create his extraordinary cuisine.
