I ate lunch there for the first time this past Sunday and it was better than I expected. My son was the one who really wanted to eat there and since it can't be my way all the time, I gave in! He had the sushi and I had the grilled chicken. On the plate were two grilled and sliced chicken breasts, a little bowl of teriyaki sauce, some green beans, carrots and broccoli, and sticky rice. The chicken did not have a lot of flavor, but dipped in the teriyaki sauce it was delicious. I will add that I love teriyaki sauce so that is why I liked it so much. The one thing I really liked about this meal was that it seemed fairly "healthy" and light and clean tasting. It was nice to have a meal like that and I didn't walk away feeling really stuffed.

Anyone else?
We have a reservation here in October. We are not sushi eaters either, so I too am looking for reviews of the chicken/steak etc.
TIA

Steak, chicken, and salmon are always good here! Salmon fillet was the largest we had been served all week. It's not a steak house, so I don't expect the steak to be out of this world, but it was properly cooked and we thought it was fine. I suppose it would depend on the cut of meat they have that week (don't know if that changes) and who is working the grill that day. I honestly don't remember exactly what cut it was, but it was described by the CM as sirloin.
We were offered a choice of sauces on the side, the entree was plain grilled.

I had the filet last week and it was cut with a fork tender - just delicious! It was served with broccoli, carrots, sticky rice and a wonderful dipping sauce.

Thanks for the review of the grilled chicken. I have an ADR here in July and don't eat sushi either and had planned on the chicken. I see there is also a panko breaded chicken. Has anyone tried that?

 

[kisobel]

thanks so much- now i can make an adr with confidence.

I'm curious ... and I'm not trying to be rude ... but why are you interested in having a meal at Tokyo Dining if you're planning to order steak or chicken for your meal?

I booked Tokyo Dining for dinner for this coming July. I chose it for two reasons.

1. To hopefully get a table by the window to watch Illuminations

and

2. For a lighter meal in the midst of a lot of heavy foods the rest of the week.

My DH eats sushi but I don't. I'm looking forward to a grille chicken and veggie meal and keeping it light.

I understand taking one for the team ... ... did that once at Restaurant Marrakesh. Never again.

because my husband loves teriyaki. we also love to try new restaurants out. i've tried sushi 3 times- can't stand it.

too bad about the sushi ... they actually have pretty good stuff at Tokyo Dining. Good sake selection too if you like that.

It's a nice place - I'm sure you will enjoy it.

I also am eating at Tokyo Dining because the friends I am meeting for dinner are sushi lovers. I am really looking forward to eating here since I like to try new places. I am sure the tempura and chicken will be delicious.
