Tokyo Garden, located at 4149 Ming Ave, Bakersfield, CA, is a treasure for teppanyaki enthusiasts. Customers rave about the remarkable food and impeccable service, creating a welcoming atmosphere ideal for families and celebrations alike. Regulars like Jackmonious commend the friendly staff, although they express a desire for a full bar—currently, the drink selection includes beer, wine, and sake.
Highlighting the menu, Ellerbe Whang urges newcomers to try the steak and scallops, which are consistently praised for their quality and presentation. The delightful crunch roll adds an exciting twist, while the fried ice cream serves as a perfect indulgence to wrap up the meal.

Great food and service. Been here several times. I only wish they had a full bar. They only serve beer and wine. They do have sake as well. Staff are always friendly.

Great food and service tho I can't get over the 18% mandatory tip if you take a party of 5 or more seems a bit much but that's all

I have been coming here for over 20 years and I’m always impressed by the quality and quantity of food, and high level of service. 18% added gratuity makes perfect sense because you are paying for the show that comes with the delicious food!!! You must order the steak and scallops. The crunch roll is amazing as well. If you still have room for dessert go for the fried ice cream.

If you want the Tepenyaki experience, be sure to call ahead for a reservation. We had no issues making one the same afternoon on a Friday night. The food was delicious but quite salty. Portions are large, with only 1 out of 5 of us finishing our meal. The cooking show was quite good and the cook interacted well with the child in our party. All food is cooked on the same grill, but the chef will ask ahead of time about shellfish allergies. Everything is also cooked in butter, so you may have to say something ahead of time if you're vegan.
