Toku Modern Asian Manhasset

My family and I came here for lunch, drawn in by the lively atmosphere and the abundance of outdoor seating. The service was attentive and polished, consistent with what you’d expect from a fine dining establishment.
Unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to the setting. We were seated toward the back of the restaurant and dealt with an ongoing issue of fruit flies and other insects, which made the meal less enjoyable.
As for the food, it was underwhelming given the premium price point. I ordered the Wagyu steak (medium), which was precut and served with neatly stacked fries. Presentation aside, it was one of the most mediocre steaks I’ve had—when I can prepare a better one at home, that’s not a good sign. The sushi rolls were average, the crispy rice was just okay, and the tuna pizza, while tasty, lacked that “wow” factor. The lunch prix fixe menu was serviceable but forgettable; the Pad Thai noodles, in particular, were disappointing, especially considering I’ve had far better versions at a fraction of the cost in Flushing.
Overall, while the service and ambiance were positives, the food quality and value simply weren’t there. For the price, I expected a much more memorable experience. Sadly, I won’t be returning.

amazing experience, i ordered the tuna pizza, and the crispy rice for appetizers. i also got the geisha which was salmon, avocado wrapped in cucumber. absolutely delicious. the wagyu steak frites was delicious, the cocktails were yummy too!

Visited my go-to local spot Toku again, but this time I found a hair in my food, this experience was dissatisfying. They did take off the dish from the bill, however I expected they took more responsibility and addressed my concerns. Even just an acknowledgment of this by the manager would have been appreciated.

Recently had dinner at Toku with a party of nine, and I have to say—this place did not live up to the hype. Multiple people in our group, especially locals, swore this spot was amazing, maybe because it’s nestled among the high-end shops at Americana Manhasset. But let’s be real: name-dropping luxury retail doesn’t make the food any better.

The pricing here is off the charts for what you get—subpar dishes that wouldn’t stand out at a much more modestly priced restaurant. For the money spent, we expected something truly special, not just expensive plating.

To make things worse, the noise level on a packed Saturday night made it nearly impossible to hold a conversation without yelling across the table. The only saving grace? The service. Our server was attentive and professional, but unfortunately, great service couldn’t rescue a disappointing dining experience.

All flash, no flavor.

Went for a late night dinner with another couple on a Saturday, and I couldn’t belie how packed out the place was at 10pm. It def has more of a lounge vibe after hours. I’ve been here years ago for normal dinner time and it was much calmer.

The food was delicious as usual. Everything was amazing despite the kitchen being close to closing time. Everything was fresh and delivered on taste.
Service from our waiter was fine but not as attentive due to the place being so busy. Overall, would return because the place is beautiful and the food is great! I highly recommend.
