Tojo's isn't the most romantic place you'll ever go to. It's more for business dinners, IMHO. The food is good, but I think there are other places that have a better atmosphere like the aforementioned Miku, Zest, etc. |
Read my mind haha I guess being or having been IN the business actually helps.
Miku is not that romantic, they are more posh looking. Zest is nice, I also shamelessly recommend Kamei Royale (for more privacy/romantic) hehe...

If you read Senna's entire post, he did mention that "
most of the
decent Japanese owned restaurants", why would you toss Richmond Sushi into the mix?
Richmond Sushi is Chinese owned, and you actually consider them a "decent" Japanese restaurant?... umm, no comment.
If you must know, Ebisu & Kamei Royale also order the EXACT same quality as Tojo's. Except Tojo stamps his automatic-instant-price-boosting name on it therefore your mentality is adjusted to think it's pure awesome simply because you paid triple the amount and "the man himself" cut the same slab of fish for you.
