Ramen among specialties at Tokyo Cafe near Cannery
After Paul Gan of the southwest valley learned that his friend’s Chinese restaurant wasn’t doing well financially, he took over the lease in 2015 and opened Tokyo Cafe.
“I thought it should do better if there was a better menu or something (that isn’t offered) around here,” he said. “So I decided to open a Japanese restaurant.” Gan said he has been cooking at Japanese restaurants since 1997.
Tokyo Cafe, near the Cannery, is billed as the only eatery in the area that sells ramen. It has four kinds: miso, shoyu, tonkotsu and katsu, which are each $7.99. Kastu ramen is the most popular, Gan said.
It also sells udon soup (vegetable, chicken or tempura), teriyaki (chicken, beef or shrimp) and salad (green, seaweed or chicken). Appetizers include edamame ($1.99), fried gyoza ($3.99) and shrimp or vegetable tempura.
