Our Story Begins in Midvale
Connie Wang was born into restaurants as her father, Raymond Wang, was a lifelong restaurateur. He owned a Chinese icon in Utah, Kowloon Cafe in West Valley.
After college, she moved to SLC to help manage Kowloon Cafe. Kowloon, loved throughout the generations, it was the beginning but not where the story ends. In 2019, Raymond decided it was time to retire after decades in the industry.
The next chapter then began where Connie branched off to open Tokyo Teriyaki, near WinCo in Midvale.
The smaller menu specialized in teriyaki was something she could do on her own without the help of her relatives and something to call her own. An endeavor paying homage to her father, she also included one of the cult favorites from Kowloon Cafe, the sweet and sour sauce.
Connie is considered a "foodie." She's passionate about food, always playing with new recipes and trying new flavors to bring into the community. She loves to share simple, good, healthy food inspired by her Asian roots.
What Makes Tokyo Teriyaki Special
We’re not a big chain. We’re a small, local, family-owned restaurant.
That means we care about every customer who walks in. Without you, small business is no business! Focused on quality ingredients, preparation, and taste, we don’t cut corners.
Every bowl we serve is made with time and heart, just like we would for our own family. Every customer treated as we would want to be treated. Every experience we strive to leave a positive taste, pun intended!
