  After hearing about toku for years, I finally made it for lunch today. The restaurant was packed and the waiter warned us that the kitchen was backed up and slow. We were pleasantly surprised that the food and drinks actually came out quickly.
  I highly recommend the chili passion martini. It was light and citrusy with a slightly warming heat from the chili peppers. Not too spicy or sweet. The lychee martini was too sweet for me. As for the food, I enjoyed everything we ordered except the fried rice. It was too greasy and bland. Vegetable dumplings were good but the portion size was small. The kung pao chicken wasn't spicy as the name implies but it was flavorful and cooked well. The pacific roll was great with chunks of fresh crab served with a great avocado wasabi sauce. The wagyu steak frites is also highly recommended. The frites were perfectly crisp and the steak was buttery and so tender that a knife was unnecessary.
  Overall, the food was good but not much different than cheaper alternatives in Nassau. I'm not sure that the price justifies the food but you're paying for the location and ambiance. If you want to get dressed up and go out for a special occasion, this would be a good choice. I would certainly return for drinks and the steak

  Loved it - had spicy tuna with wonton chips and cucumbers for an appetizer. Was delicious and a tad spicy.
  
  But I loved my entree which was the roasted lobster which was with udon noodles mushrooms, baby vegetables and asparagus and very generous portions of lobster. It was so so good!
  
  They also make a great hot and sour soup which I also loved. Sometimes eating this type of cuisine has a salty aftertaste but all of it was made perfectly!

  Usually come here on my lunch break. The yakisoba and ramen is underwhelming but everything else is pretty good.
  
  Staff is always nice.

  The food is really great, and I mean really delicious and the service also top notch but the prices are going to give the non zillionaire some serious indigestion and possibly a stroke, particularly with drinks $16 per glass of house wine. I had a fish-i think the Chilean sea bass with risotto/mushroom sauce and again, excellent.  I would LOVE to go back but likely won't be soon as I still have to put 2 kids through college!  What a silly review here but I mean it!

  I've been here a few times before over the few years and I came here as a party of 5 for Mother's Day. Toku is part of the Poll group which have about 7 different restaurants. I had a reservation and was seated about 10 minutes after my reservation which was ok. They were very busy and believe it or not there were walk ins that did not have reservations. There were a few seats for 2 at the bar or in the front otherwise they were booked to 9:30 pm. They have a nice room and decor, there was a lot of children which is to be expected and it was noisy almost to the point of being chaotic.
  
  It was a good experience overall and I gave them a 3 although I would rate them 3.5 if I could. Past experiences were much better so I don't know if it was the fact that it was a holiday but it did not measure up to what I experienced in the past. I really wanted this to measure up or beat my expectations.
  
  I looked at recent reviews and most of the negatives were on the service and price. I agree that they are a little pricey although just looked in the parking lot at all the BMW's, Mercedes and Range Rovers and what do you expect??
  
  This is a pricey area with a lot of people that are into brands. Just look at all the Chanel bags and jewelers the women are wearing. Lots of LV, Hermes and young kids were wearing Gucci sneakers. Lol.
  
  I found the service was the opposite of the poor reviews and was excellent. Amanda was very accommodating and made the meal enjoyable. The bus boy was attentive to the water and cleared the table quickly. My issue was the food. It was just missing something from my previous visits. It was good but did not wow me or meet my expectation.
  
  For appetizers we had Edamame, grill calamari salad, chicken skewers and the lobster tacos.
  
  Main courses were the Seared Salmon, Angry Chicken with Pad Tai noodles, Sweet Soy Marinated Skirt Steak, Roasted Lobster with noodles. They were all good but not great.
  
  Desert was the warm chocolate Brownie and Apple Tart.
  
  Overall service was a 4 and food was a 3 this time. What I did not like was that the manager was active and only greeted the regulars he knew. On a day like Mothers Day everyone should be wishing the women a happy Mother's Day amd maybe give out a rose to each. We were not greeted by the manager or made to feel special. It wasn't a bad experience just did not meet my expectation or past experience. I'm on the fence if I will come back. If I had not been here before it would be a definite "no " on coming back. There are a lot better choices for the area and the money.
