    Food was good for the price. Service was friendly, but overall we thought it was a bit below par. We had to keep asking for extras (forks, napkins, etc.), and a couple of items were missed (coffee with dessert, and my wife’s entree came with jalapeños after she ordered without).

    Our first time here, but certainly not our last. We were not sure what to expect, but the mostly small plate menu was great. We tried six different items and all were well prepared and served nice and hot (or cold if it was appropriate). Service was very good and our table on the patio overlooking the river was quite nice. Nice selection of sake was available. Bar drinks were well made. They have a happy hour from 4 - 6 p.m. with a selection of reduced price drinks.

    Thank you so much for the thoughtful review, Dan! We're thrilled you enjoyed your first visit—especially the variety of small plates, sake selection, and riverside patio. It sounds like you made the most of happy hour, too! We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon.

    The service was good, food was okay, not so tasty. They really need to do something about the ventilation or AC.
    Tokyo CowboyResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for your feedback, Karina. We’re glad to hear you received good service, but we’re sorry to learn that the food didn’t meet your expectations and that the comfort of the space was an issue. We're currently looking into improvements to our ventilation to ensure a more enjoyable experience for all our guests. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts—it helps us do better.

    Good food, interesting spot, great drinks, great service. The stairs to the bathroom are slippery though (definitely fell, thank goodness I was holding the railing). Solid ankle bruise 😬

    Thank you, Marysia! We’re so glad you enjoyed the food, drinks, and service—and we’re so sorry to hear about the fall! Thank you for the heads-up—we’ll take a closer look to make sure safety is prioritized. Hope to see you again soon!

    Overall a good experience and food was tasty. But it was crazyyyy loud and very hard to hear conversations at our own table. We were ready to leave.

    Fantastic! Food was exquisite… and just the right amount of portion of food. You don’t leave with a food-baby but you leave feeling satisfied. Definitely coming back again.

    Awesome experience for our first time at Tokyo Cowboy! The happy hour menu was just what we were looking for. The chicken karaage was the best we’ve ever had (and we’ve even been to Tokyo!). The cocktails were tasty and the food was fresh. The dumplings, krab & crab roll, karaage and tres leches were our favorites! I do with the portion sizes were a little bigger but no complaints! Can’t wait to come back!

    The food just wasn’t that good and very, very small portions. Also menu is limited.
