Tokyo Pot

Visited a month ago and had good food and some fun trying something new like shabu shabu. Be ready to pay about 16-20 per person and the facility could use some upgrades but that is not a huge issue. I recommend eating with 3-4 people, the spicy soup is a go to, it’s not very spicy but definitely flavorful.

I have heard a lot of good things about this place, figured I would try it out myself. Unfortunately, this restaurant was one of the worst dine in experiences I have ever endeavored. Walking in you can smell the musk from years of broth steam soaked into everything, the walls, ceilings ect, its not the most pleasant thing to get you appetized. The table we were sat at was gross, still had leftover broth, utensils and sticky substance all of the place. Nobody had even come over to wipe it down prior to seating us, it even looked like there were fingernail clippings left on the table from the previous customer. When pouring soy sauce on my rice I noticed that 3 fruit flies had made their final resting place in the spout of the container...this was a nice touch. That being said, the menu prices were about double from what was listed online, you can expect to pay about 30$ per person for a meal here without drinks or appetizers. Our service was lousy at best, wait staff were not very friendly, nor did they explain the concept of the restaurant or menu at all. After dropping our drinks and food off they didn't come back to our table until we had to flag them down for the check. When going to a hot pot restaurant like this, its important to feel that the environment your in is clean, sanitary and well kept, due to the fact that they will be serving you raw meat. This place to put in one word is just gross, as soon as I sat down I really just wanted to get the hell out of there. The broths you dip your meat in were, okay... The room temp "prime" ribeye tasted like nasty crock pot roast beef and I was genuinely terrified for my health to cook the beef to anything less then well done. I normally cook all of my beef to medium rare. I was extremely thankful I had only ordered the small portion because anything bigger would've probably made me sick. The vegetables they serve you with dinner were by far the best part, and even then they still screwed it up. Maybe 3 pieces of cabbage, 7 strings of rice noodles, one or two cubes of tofu and a few mushrooms. To summarize, I had a horrible dinner here and wont be returning. My hunch is they are on their way out of business the way this establishment is running. After returning home from dinner I read some other reviews stating that many customers were throwing up from food poisoning and I'm assuming cross contamination. Do your self a favor and take my word for it that you wont be missing out on anything but a disappointing way to waste your money.

I absolutely loved this place up until my experience on Sunday. I usually get the beef, but I decided to try the shrimp because I’m a shrimp lover. I regret that decision so much because two days later I checked into the ER with shellfish poisoning. So I suggest don’t try any of the seafood because not only will it be expensive at the restaurant, but you will also pay an expensive hospital bill.

We had a short visit to Stillwater and took our friends to this restaurant at suggestion of family. The server was terrific and very helpful. The table was sticky, room quite warm and ambiance rather shoddy. Our friend tried the chicken and became very queasy. Her husband, by the end of meal was throwing up in bathroom, on the way home, and most of evening. Then my husband, who had ribeye, had a queasy stomach the rest of evening and br trouble in morning. It was obviously some type of food poisoning and everyone suggested the broth was overpowering also. Sorry for the disappointing expensive experience.

I ordered the veggie platter (side dish) and fried tofu (the only vegetarian options). I got three thin slices of carrots, two small pieces of one mushroom, two cabbage leaves and minimal tofu pieces. I still ended up paying 15 dollars for the meal which I thought was barely worth 5 dollars. Two stars for the novelty of it all.

This is probably my favorite place to eat in Stillwater. I, personally, prefer to get the seafood plate with salmon and shrimp. I think the salmon is much better than the shrimp, though. You also get a side plate with mushrooms, tofu, and egg. The dining experience, itself, is quite unique because you get to cook your own food. I definitely enjoy eating here, though be prepared to have your clothes smell like Tokyo Pot afterwards.
