   Our group of 7 loved everything about Tokyo Cowboy. The food was delicious, our server was excellent, and we all thought it was one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time!

   I just returned from Italy, so I’m comparing my experience at Tokyo Cowboy with that, and it is outstanding. In every way the four of us were impressed. And we live in San Antonio! The truth is, our city is unique. We’re just below the radar of the national press, developing our gastrointestinal scene and vibe our way. Tokyo Cowboy probably couldn’t have been started anyplace in Italy, much less found a footing. I’m proud to live here.

   We sat at the high top bar. The service was very quick, the staff was very friendly and helpful with recs, and the food was delicious!

   Really love this place. Great service and amazing food every time. You should try the cheeseburger if you visit. Share as an appetizer or enjoy as an entree. Comes with a dipping sauce that is out of this world amazing!

   Thank you so much for the love, Jennifer! We're thrilled to hear that Tokyo Cowboy continues to impress — and yes, that cheeseburger is definitely a sleeper hit! The dipping sauce is one of our favorite touches too. We can't wait to welcome you back for another great experience soon!

   Wow. They nailed it. I enjoyed lunch on this visit. The decor is a subtle intertwining of culture’s, as is the food. The fusion of flavors was exquisite and not overdone. It was delicate yet comfort food: Asian and Southern Texas cuisine. Add to that a welcoming staff from hostess to server. I’m married to a renown French chef and a very spoiled foodie who has traveled the world tasting, and I am coming back to this restaurant for dinner before I leave. It is that good. Bravo. Well done.

We're truly honored by your praise, especially coming from someone with such a discerning palate and deep appreciation for global cuisine. It means the world to our team to know the fusion of flavors and hospitality resonated with you. We can’t wait to welcome you back for dinner—until then, bravo to you too!

   First off, Dez! Amazing server and quick attention when needed. Bar was fantastic, drinks were very tasty. We had several items, cooked to perfection. While it appeared portions were small, appearances were deceiving. The food was well prepared and plated. We will return for dinner!
   

   Tokyo CowboyResponded on May 12, 2025

   Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear Dez took great care of you and that you enjoyed both the cocktails and your meal. We love hearing when the flavors—and portions—surprise in the best way. Looking forward to welcoming you back for dinner soon!

   We were seated at a bench style table. Meaning 1/2 of the seating was a very long bench shared with other patrons. The bench seat was extremely low. So my boyfriend swapped seats with me. He looked like he was a little boy at the adults table. He decided to come across the table and sit next to me rather than sit on the short bench. The meal was delicious. Afterwards we went downstairs to the bar to continue the fun evening. We highly recommend Tokyo Cowboy!

   Thank you for sharing your experience, Susie! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your meal and continued the fun at Hugman’s Oasis downstairs. We appreciate your feedback about the seating and will keep that in mind as we work to make every visit as comfortable as it is memorable. Hope to see you both again soon!

   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).

   Thank you for your visit and feedback, Marcus. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and friendly service, but we’re sorry to hear that the details weren’t as smooth as they should’ve been. We appreciate you pointing this out and hope to welcome you back for a more seamless experience.

    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.
