With a rainbow of choices, Tokyo offers authentic appetizers, lunch, dinner, and dessert, favorite sushi rolls and boxes, like the tasty cream-cheese-filled Philadelphia roll for $6.50, as well as more adventurous choices, like the eel cheese fried roll at a reasonable $8.80. Carnivores and vegans can dine under the same roof with fresh seafood, chicken, and beef choices, mixed vegetables, noodles, various types of fried rice, soups and salads, and much more. Each dining experience begins with a complimentary bowl of miso soup and concludes with a choice of dessert, such as fried bananas and gourmet ice cream. This season features a creamy pumpkin-flavored ice cream to go along with the classic vanilla and strawberry.

While quite filling and satisfying in taste, Tokyo’s real treat is the incredibly attractive and professional presentation. Each plate holds a colorful sculpture of the different ingredients. A true culinary artist, the chef delicately shapes each product and finishes it with toppings like flavorful teriyaki sauce, crunchy sesame seeds, ginger, wasabi, and garnishes. The always-smiling wait staff pleases its guests by regularly communicating and considering even the smallest of needs, like asking, “Do you want to keep your fork?” when clearing the table to get ready for the next round. Surprisingly, however, guests do not wait long for food or service, even when customers fill the restaurant on the weekend at dinnertime.

Stop by Tokyo to dine in under the relaxed, well-lit, contemporary atmosphere, or grab a menu to-go and carry out an authentic gourmet feast for both the eyes and the palate. Though the sushi choices are endless, there is something for everyone at the impressive Tokyo Japanese Restaurant.

The cast features Andrew Lincoln (Love Actually) as former policeman and group leader Rick Grimes, Jon Bernthal (The Ghost Writer) as fellow officer Shane Walsh, and Sarah Wayne Callies (Prison Break) as Lori Grimes, Rick’s troubled wife. Among others, the main cast also includes Laurie Holden as Andrea, Jeffrey DeMunn as Dale, Steven Yeun as Glenn, Norman Reedus as Daryl, Melissa McBride as Carol, and child actors Chandler Riggs as Carl, who is Rick and Lori’s son, and Madison Lintz as Carol’s daughter, Sophia.

The main plot is set in a post-apocalyptic world and takes place in the southern United States. The large group focuses on surviving after most of the world is stricken with an affliction that kills humans by high fever, then restarts the brain stem, essentially turning humans into single-minded zombies. The show does not refer to those afflicted as zombies, instead calling them “walkers.” Hope hinges on the possibility of a cure until the CDC is destroyed. The only thing that keeps the group going is the inborn human will to live. The line between right and wrong are often blurred, so even viewers cannot make easy judgment calls.

Masterfully written and directed in large part by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile), the series of 60 to 90 minute episodes began in late 2010 with a short first season of just six episodes. The second season premiered on October 16^th of this year, and was so popular that it was picked up for a third season just a week later. The show airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on the AMC channel.

The Walking Dead is based on a continuing comic book series of the same title by writer Robert Kirkman and artists Charlie Adlard and Tony Moore. The comic series has won awards and has featured prominently at the most recent Comic-Con. The television series closely follows the comic series for the extended pilot episode, but then diverges. However, most of the principal characters are the same.

The show is sharp, thought-provoking, and delves into the uneasy parts of morality and self-preservation. Focusing more on the survivors than the diseased walkers, this show is truly one that captures attention and asks the viewers if they could ever make some of the decisions the characters have had to make.

The show’s rating on IMDb.com is currently at an impressive 8.7 out of 10 stars, with nearly 67,000 votes, and has already been the recipient of multiple awards, including an Emmy and a Saturn Award. In addition, The Walking Dead and its cast and crew have been nominated for other awards, including another Emmy, a Director’s Guild Award, a Golden Globe, and several Saturn awards.
