Great fast and cheap Japanese in an expensive area. I come here all the time for lunch. Got the daily special Chicken Udon today for $6.50 plus a side of tempura for $1.50. Free salad, all delicious!

Tokyo Express is sort of a hidden gem. It's cute, affordable, and tasty! The katsu with curry is my favorite. Free tea with your meal, too!

Very good and reasonable. This is my Second time. I will come back. I ordered three idioms and a small Sapporo for less than $20.00. Cant beat that. 😎

I thought these rolls were Mediocre. Unagi and Avocado, and Spicy Hamachi. And, they took a long time.
