Visited Tokyo a few weeks ago when meeting up with a friend for lunch. I'd suggested Komol for that heavenly herbal salad, but the friend wanted to try Tokyo instead. I almost bailed but decided I'd go to Tokyo with him, and if I wasn't impressed I'd simply call Komol for an herbal salad to go.\n\nThat wasn't necessary.\n\nOn the outside I saw a big sign advertising their all you can eat prices. I don't recall exactly what it was, but it seemed pretty standard pricing for a lunch AYCE ($21 or so). I'll be honest, I don't really enjoy going to sushi restaurants unless I order AYCE. It just bothers me to order rolls for $8-$12 a piece when I'm so used to the comfort of ordering and ordering and ordering and ordering knowing I'm paying one set price. There's too much to choose from that I want to eat, that my brain can't handle having to pick and choose a few select items. That being said, I treated myself to a more expensive lunch than I'm used to, to fully allow myself to enjoy the experience.\n\nI could never accurately describe everything I ate, but I must say I enjoyed nearly each and every item. My order consisted of a handful of rolls, 3-4 orders of nigiri, and some side items like miso soup, gyoza, and a small piece of salmon teriyaki. All of the fish tasted fresh and the side items were prepared as I'm used to at my favorite AYCE places like Sushi Mon on Maryland Parkway with the exception of maybe the salmon teriyaki which seemed overcooked to me.\n\nSo give Tokyo a visit if you're into AYCE sushi, and if you don't like it as much as I did, remember you always have Komol next door.
