We, Tokyo Ichiban Foods, started our business in the restaurant industry. We continue to pursue serving quality food that will delight our guests, and we cherish our relationship with them. Today, pivoting from our strong origin, we are also expanding our scope of business to aqua-farming, seafood processing and distribution.
We oversee the process through professional culinary eyes, from when the fish is cultivated until it is served to our guests. This allows us to build a sustainable and traceable system that will lead to higher customer satisfaction.
Japanese cuisine is blessed with opulent nature from both the mountains and the sea, which brings us rich seafood. Our wish is to bring quality seafood and Japanese food culture to the world, making the global food culture even richer and stronger.

Great dinner overall. Only issues were they didnt have the gin featured on the front of their menu and they had run out of fatty tuna. Also the menu could have been more nicely printed and not on a qr code.

My husband and I LOVE Wokuni, it's our favorite spot for dates! They have a variety of Japanese food, including the delicious omakase! The service is fantastic, the servers are nice, polite and very attentive to your requests, and the ambience is soooo cozy! We love it!!

The menu has changed significantly, and there are no elaborate appetizers catered to Japanese tastes anymore, leaving it lacking a sense of uniqueness. In the past, there used to be refined daily specials, but this time, everything I tried felt like something I could easily make myself. The karaage and tempura were terrible, and the sushi platter, priced at $68, was not worth it. I don’t think I’ll be going back. the staff’s service wasn’t bad. The only thing that still feels special is the interior design of the restaurant.

Specifying a reservation for the sushi bar/counter doesn’t actually mean you sit there. The omakase experience is not as you’d except instead it’s a few plates with a few pieces of nigiri/shasimi. Quality of fish was good but the experience was underwhelming sitting at a standard table.
