The first thing I noticed when I entered Tokyo Housing development was the aroma of moth balls. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive crimson and orange decor. We were greeted and seated in the IPad Room, a stinky room decorated with numerous stacks of papers and tiny spinning wheels. Our waitress, whose name was Greta, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were sauerkraut, tortillas, chicken chow mein, and hot dogs. I decided to order Succotash à la Russe and my companion, Roxie, ordered Fried okra A l'Orange. Greta seemed irate as she brought in our orders about twenty minutes later. I had a piece of pumpkin pie on the side, and Roxie had a piece of cornbread. A sassafras tea was a perfect complement for my succotash.
The Succotash was smooth but a bit crude. The common way to cook with Italian sausage is to freeze first, but our chef chooses to heat, then blend it into the succotash. Roxie thought the fried okra seemed a bit fluffy, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred fifty-seven dollars, which I think is decent. Overall, the food was lovely, the atmosphere was stupefying, and the service was passable. If you are a pensive person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
