We ordered a plate of sushi that consists of salmon, scallop, hamachi, and uni. First of all, the portion is pretty big with generous cuts of fish. We tasted the hamachi first, which is fresh and smooth. The uni sushi is consistent with the ones that we had in the states, obviously not the same grade as the ones in Japan or O Ya.
Next comes an enormous sushi boat docked at our table. Tokyo Restaurant has an extensive selection of maki’s, a total of 66 possible choices. It was a very hard decision for us because everything sounded so good. We ended up ordering six maki’s, which include the following:
1) Crazy Roll (shrimp tempura, flying fish roe, avocado, spicy mayo). There is really nothing special about this roll. We asked for no cucumber, but the chef forgot about the request.
2) Spicy Roll (spicy salmon and spicy tuna with wasabi tobiko on top). We like the taste of the wasabi tobiko because it adds a little sour and spicy kick to the maki.
3) Fire Dragon Roll (eel, crab, avocado topped with spicy tuna and tobiko). Surprisingly, the taste of eel matches very well with spicy tuna. The avocado adds creaminess to the roll and the tobiko adds crunchiness, which is a nice balance.
4) Kirin Roll (spicy salmon topped with fresh salmon and citrus tobiko). Once again, the chef forgot about the request of no cucumber. However, the salmon inside and outside has a fresh strong taste to it, which is matched well with the citrus flavor and crunchiness of the tobiko.
5) Hot Roll (fried oyster and avocado inside out roll topped with hot sauce). This is our least favorite maki because the oyster has an overpowering taste to it which makes it unsuitable as an ingredient in a maki.
6) Fried Salmon Tempura Roll with shrimp and cream cheese. This is our favorite maki of the night. It’s a freshly fried roll which is served hot. The sauce is slightly sweet which goes well with the fried salmon. We could not really taste the cream cheese though.
It was definitely a good experience at the Tokyo Restaurant. The sushi is reasonably priced and it is a good value restaurant. We would recommend this restaurant to those who go to Rhode Island. After the meal, we also went to the Providence town center to watch the water fire. It was a very fun and satisfying evening.
