TJ offers an authentic dining experience that blends Thai and Japanese cuisines. We feature a diverse menu, including traditional Thai curries, stir-fries, and noodle dishes, as well as an extensive selection of sushi rolls, sashimi, and nigiri. Guests can enjoy meals prepared at the sushi bar or opt for the interactive hibachi tables, where skilled chefs cook and perform tableside.
Wow. I've been to TJ's before, but the changes they've made recently have made all the difference. It was always good, but now it's just amazing. We started with a sushi appetizer that really hit the spot. My husband had the chicken hibachi dinner while I took recommendations from the server on two rolls. Everything was delicious! And the chef did great making substitutions for my allergies to make it all worry-free. Highly recommend the sake bay breeze to drink. I would have thought it would have been too sweet (and I like sweet) but the sake balances it all out perfectly!
Get down to TJs--like I said, it's always been good but wow! Since they reopened their hibachi service recently it's just fantastic. Great job all!!!

We have absolutely loved your restaurant now for many years. It’s a very favorite place for our entire family and we order almost weekly. However, this was our first time ordering since the new menu and since new ownership, and we were very surprised. Several of our favorite dishes are no longer on the menu. The beef fried rice barely had any beef in it, and was stringy and not the good beef it used to be. It also had different ingredients and the rice was not the tasty rice is used to be. The online ordering was tough too. No text confirmation, only email, and that landed in my junk folder.
We tried communicating with the restaurant directly with this feedback but never heard back.

One of the few great restaurants in the area. We’ve been going here for years and the city of Appleton is a joke for not making it easier to get into here (blocking off roads, not letting you turn into it from the shopping center). The Chicken Basil Fried rice is incredible.

Just ordered for the first time in a long time since they kept their in dining closed well after Covid. Ordered Chicken and scallop hibachi, TJ roll and a spicy tuna roll. Not impressed…the rolls lacked any flavor and I have to say, they were the worst I’ve ever had. Threw them in the trash. The hibachi was mediocre. Sakura in Oshkosh has the best rolls and hibachi.

I loved everything about this place! My rolls were unbelievably good (and for a price you couldn’t even make them for at home). The server was professional and attentive. I think this is my new favorite place to grab sushi in the Fox Cities! Thank you to the TJ’s team for working so hard in a time when owning a restaurant is almost impossible. Delicious!

Updating this morning... When we first arrived there was no one to seat us so we stood around for several minutes And even the cook was looking at us. We finally seated ourselves when the waiter did show up he told us to move with no apology. He was very direct and matter of fact.
We complied with understanding...
I ordered the mango chicken and out of three out of five for spiciness. I ordered a three. It was definitely a five.
The waiter did not have much charisma at all. He was very direct and rude to us while we ordered. He was definitely in a very foul mood and did not set the tone right we struggled to not take it personally.
After serving us he didn't even come back and ask us how was the food either...
How can this restaurant have staff like this?
I cannot recommend this place... part of the experience of going out is having a good server who cares for you this is not the place. I honestly believe he made my meal more spicy than it should have.
We did however have an appetizer which was fantastic. It was a chicken satay!
Other than that there are other Asian restaurants here in the area that I will go to in the future.
Definitely not here... totally unacceptable.
I started writing this review in front of the server when he gave me the check he knew what I was writing and I did not leave him a tip.
If the owner of this restaurant responds to this review we may come back if they do not respond you can rest assured they care not for their customers.
My mango chicken was so hot that my nose is still runny... Just awful.

Came here with my parents and son last night since this was a recommended place for me. The service here is awful stood at the door and the gentleman didn’t smile just gave me a nasty look, stood some more and this lady came out sat us at a table with no menus. We waited 10 minutes than she started shouting for us to scan menus we were confused we didn’t understand. Food took 50 minutes to come out and tables that sat after us had before us . Even though the foods amazing I won’t be coming back your paying money so I think service should be up to par. I really hope the owner reads these reviews and does something .

Should have read reviews before I went there. Got carry out today and the place was completely empty and no one around. Went to the sushi counter and he called someone out. He grabbed the containers and put lids on I paid. 80 dollars for some special rolls. Got home and could not eat any of it. The fish was clearly old and was horrible!
The avocado was grey and brown and the sauce was everywhere. The spicy tuna roll was unbearable. Very fishy smelling and so dry I spit it out. This is by far the worst dining experience I have ever had. We threw out the entire order. Don’t go here!

Decor and atmosphere were promising, quite similar to Nakashima or Katsu-Ya. It is unfortunate the Hibachi section was closed. The server was prompt, polite, and attentive.
The food on the other hand, was quite terrible.
The egg rolls we ordered were undercooked and the filling was bland, reminiscent of frozen store-bought egg rolls. Edamame was good, but laden with too much salt. Tempura was decent but the batter was not as crunchy as expected, but portion size was small compared to the price.
Main course was decent for taste, but still too small or a portion for the price, especially the special rolls. Case in point, we ordered the Black Dragon Sushi Roll at $16 and they came out the same size and number of pieces as the $7.5 Yellowtail Scallion Rolls. In the Fox Valley, you are better off going to Nakashima or Katsu-Ya.
Drink was good, though. Wife ordered the Martini and it was delish.
TL;DR
Appetizer and Sushi were not good to decent, but not worth the price. Drinks were good. Not sure about the Thai entrees.

No one greeted us upon our arrival.
The sushi chef told us to seat ourselves and had to yell at the singular waiter to come out from the back to take our orders.
It felt like we were getting “punked” with how horrible the waiter was. He was moody, disheveled and you could feel his sigh.
Took 25 minutes to get a glass of water and he never gave us physical menus. We ordered from the menus on our phones.
Why did we stay? The sushi rolls looked so good online! We kept holding out hope that this was the lull in-between Sunday lunch and dinner.
Also no hibachi tables available until they hire enough staff per their paper signs taped onto their TVs.
Food was meh but if you really hate your dinner buddy, I’d recommend this restaurant 100/10.
Otherwise, just keep driving.
The roads are all blocked off by the universe trying to deter you from coming here and making the same mistakes we made.

It was not edible, the veggies hibachi are usually so good, they were soggy, the shrimp was no flavor and not sure how it was cooked, the chicken I didn’t eat, seemed like it was microwaved, I will not be back, I don’t have $30 to waste on food like this,

Decided to try it because I was given a reference from some friends who told me that they used to come here all the time because it's fantastic.
Walked in, and I was the only one there. Stood by server station for about 5 mins, and then just decided to seat myself. Took another 15 mins for someone to walk over to take my order, and I tried to order 6 different drinks but was told they had none of them.
I asked the server about the food, and he said, "Eh." Not kidding, direct quote. Got up from the table and just left. The entire time I was there, the server said maybe 5 words to me, all with an attitude, and when he wasn't staring blankly at me, was playing on his phone.
Came here expecting to spend between 100 and 200 dollars, ended up at island sushi where I got fantastic service for a great price. I will never recommend this restaurant. Go to McDonald's instead; They've given me a better experience than this place.

Food isn't good. Server friendly but too talkative. Restaurant is dirty. The server said the owner was too cheap to update the website. I didn't even go in or ask for Hibachi, and the server said people ask for it and he tells them just because it's on our website doesn't mean it accurate and then he asked customers how to fix the website because he's not good at coding. My friend ordered a salad and he just said no and as we both looked at him confused he said that they just throw in whatever old vegetables they have in the fridge. Odd experience. I asked for my steak rare and it tasted like it was boiled. My rice was dry.

I went here once 4 years ago, and service took forever, they had said they were severely understaffed, and the food wasn’t very fresh or high quality. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, and went back again. This time, service was just as slow; only one waiter for about 10 tables. The food I ordered all tasted fishy (even though it was a chicken dish), and the seaweed in the sushi was so chewy it was inedible. The hibachi was closed both times we went due to not having a chef. Definitely won’t be back.

DO NOT COME HERE if you want authentic food and at least decent service!!!!
First of all, the place was hard to get to. I drove out of Walmart and on the nearest street there was a turn lane leading directly to the restaurant that was blocked, so we had to make 2 extra turns to get there.
Me and my friend stood by the door for 10 minutes and none of servers acknowledged us, besides giving us side looks. Eventually we saw that all tables had menus on them so we decided to sit ourselves down. While we were walking to one of the tables, the male server pointed at a table without saying anything. There was only the alcohol menu and food menu was online, which was very unorganized.
After waiting for another 10 minutes with no one coming to get our order we decided to leave.

Never had a bad experience here. Food is always amazing. Service was fast each time we've gone. The sushi comes out looking like art. THE BEST fried rice in town and also some the best curry I've ever had. Haven't done the hibachi as it was closed (I think because of COVID) but you can still order off of the hibachi menu if you'd like - which was also good.

All the food was great. The service was very good. They could use some music or something for background noise. The restaurant looks very nice inside. They just opened back up on Friday so they didn’t have all options available. And there’s no hibachi tables because they don’t have that type of cook. But I ordered hibachi as my meal and it was perfect. The WI roll was the best! Even better than the TJ roll. I highly recommend the place!

TJ Thai & Japanese Steakhouse is like a culinary ninja (like it's staff), always there but never noticed. When I finally decided to play detective, I found out it does indeed dish out food, though the hibachi tables were on a siesta. The food was alright, but it's in a sea of equally decent Asian cuisine joints here in the valley. Nothing screamed "I'm the king of the wok!", but hey, maybe it's just me.

Wasn’t worth the money. Hibachi grill was closed so had to be made in the kitchen. Chicken was dry, steak was overdone and the veggies were hard. Rice tasted old, soup was cold and salad had ginger and mayonnaise in it! Took away from the taste of the ginger. Waiter only came back once to see of we needed some more drinks the whole time we were there (35 min). wouldn’t go back even if it was free. I’ll gladly wait an hour at Nakashima next time.

I have been coming to TJ’s for years. Since covid shutdown I typically order carry out which has improved a lot. Used to be long unpredictable wait times, but the last time I ordered it was ready right when they stated. This time we ate in the sushi area. It was right at open on a Saturday.

Came here a year ago on a date, very fast and amazing food. My reasoning for 1 star is today 11.19.22 I went with my now girlfriend and waited 15 min before being seated, an additional 15 to get our drinks. Another 30 to have our order taken. 30 MORE min for our appetizer, when realization hit that they were more concerned about their take out food and serving 4 families before us that came in after us, we sat a total of 2 hours before given our food, only due to me requesting to have as take out. Foods a solid 4/5 but for everything else 1 star, if you order take out. Show up an hour after time of finish. Or not. Probably won't go back for a while.

Just had my last meal at this place. This restaurant has really gone down in service and gone way up in price. Got some beef fried rice and crab ragoons for 23.00 bucks. Crab Ragoons were so overcooked and hard I could only choke 2 down. Have to always wait 10-15 minutes to even get someone to come to the hostess station, then when they do you never even get a hello much less a thank you.
It’s totally apparent that these folks hate their jobs. To top it off the place is filthy. Won’t be back again.

When we went here we ordered a bunch of different sushi. Their rolls were mediocre (flavorwise) and it was hard to find rolls that had whole fish instead of tar tar. If you are looking for simple rolls like California and Boston they are good. Their coconut Shrimp was delicious! The staff was friendly and helpful. The biggest peeve was the decorations on the plate. They put a decapitated Shrimp head for decoration ( I don't want to stare into the soul of the Shrimp I am eatting). They also put a vase with a fake flower and fake bird. There is no way to sanitize that properly and we are working with raw food here.

First time eating there. They were short handed and didn't have the hibachi open. They claimed that if you ordered hibachi it would be cooked that way in the back. My rice was not cooked on the hibachi and makes me wonder how the rest of my meal was cooked. The rice was also a little hard for fried rice. And I've always got yum yum sauce at every hibachi I have ever went to...not here. I will maybe try them again if the hibachi ever opens again. But otherwise I was not overly impressed with my meal.

My 3rd time goinging there, twice within a week. Super fast service and the best quality seafood/sashimi. 10/10 would recommend for people who like more classic simple sushi as opposed to fancy roll. However there rolls are good too I have only tried 3 because the chefs choose sashimi is to die for.

We ended up here after our original sushi place was a 2.5hr wait. You tell they were a little short staffed, but who isn’t right now? No big deal. We waited at the bar until a table was ready. I don’t remember his name, but the bartender ended up also being our waiter after he noticed we hadn’t been helped for a bit after being seated. He did a fantastic job. Knew the menu, was very professional, great attitude, and was fun to chit chat with. As far as the good- all good, no complaints or issues. 10/10 would come back no problem.

Food was good. Can't really complain. As a college student on a budget they are a reasonable price. But I didn't like how when I went to order carryout (since the website wouldn't let me order for pick up) I felt rushed. The staff wasn't rude but it made me feel very bad and I lost my appetite. I understand having no staff (I work at a restaurant that has the same issue) but I don't want to be made to feel bad when I don't have the time to sit in and eat but still want good food. 😔

Criminally short-staffed but the food was amazing. Peanut curry was divine and mark my words, I will be back again :D

Metal found in my pad thai. They claimed it was from the cleaning brush! Nasty. Never going back.

Food is fine but they have no access to their parking lot because they blocked it off. If people don’t know they have to through kwik trip to get their they won’t get in. Not worth it just to stop through traffic.

Portions were generous and flavor was on point. The staff was also very friendly and the atmosphere was quite nice. My only complaint is that I asked for maximum spice for my dish but it was not spicy at all.
Edit: I have changed my review to 5 stars as I went here again last night and everything was top notch and also properly spicy this time.

Lack of staff caused a 50 minute wait for our food. We understood that completely.
Drinks were excellent, our Sushi rolls were Very good. Size was above par. One roll did not meet expectations compared to other places we have been, but we are picky.😁 We will return, you download menu to your phone so be prepared. Hibachi rooms were all closed.

First time here. Food was good, when we finally got it (arrived seperate so had to watch eachother eat). So short staffed that 1 appetizer, 1 meal and 2 sushi rolls took 2 hours.
We saw at least 20 take-out orders go out the door, however not even 6 tables could get decent service. I get that people are short staffed, but then just close the dining room or give people a heads up it's going to be a VERY long wait for everything. We weren't the only ones upset.

Food was good, did not care for lack of physical menu, also we were not able to order off the lunch menu, even though it was 2 in the afternoon.

Walked in and was told there’s a 45 minute wait to be seated. Which was strange considering there were only about 10 vehicles in that huge parking lot. Decided to be patient and wait at the bar. After 10 minutes of no service the bar tender finally walked in and told us that they were not serving any drinks… That would of been really nice to know right away.

It took two hours to get simple fried rice with chicken. They wait to fill up the tables in the dining room before making any of the food (you can tell because each table’s food came out one right after the other); yet you can see the takeout orders coming out of the kitchen a bag (order) at a time.

Haven't been open for dine in for ages now because of "short staff". Pay your employees a livable wage and you wouldn't have these issues.

Come here very often, once a week. I guess sundays aren’t good before they close for a day. Food poisoning, worst I’ve ever had. $40 waste

11/10/2020 ordered (2) Pickup Hibachi Combo Dinners @ 3:20PM with an order ready time of 30-45 Mins.
Arrived at 3:54PM for order pickup; greeter informed me of the following:
“We didn’t start your order because the kitchen staff didn’t look at order ticket” “ the ticket machine is out of paper”
Employee offered 15% discount or $5 gift card for next time ordering.....cancelled order completely not worth $60 in food always have problems ordering here; AVOID THIS OVERPRICED UNDERWHELMING PLACE.
Last time ordering in person the wait staff spilled my girlfriends dinner on her and refused to comp. the meal???? So over this place.

This place is not bad. The food is good. It's clean. The problem is, is that it is very busy some nights so the staff is pushy in order to reduce the turnover time of the tables. If you want to only stay 15 mins its fine. If its a night out with friends and family go somewhere else.

We are pleased that TJ Sushi has opened for pick up during COVID19 pandemic. The phone order and pick up was a bit delayed but worth the wait. The sushi specialty rolls were so delicious and so appreciated. Our favorites the yummy roll and house special roll are recommended. Thank you to the staff and chefs for providing this service!
