Neotokyo is widely praised for its immersive cyberpunk atmosphere that feels like a Blade Runner inspired Tokyo, with bold neon decor and a vibrant, energetic vibe. The food earns consistently high marks, especially the ramen and mazemen, with favorites including tonkotsu, miso with truffle, tan tan, and other flavorful broths, plus well liked sides like karaage, gyoza, takoyaki, and a refreshing cucumber salad. Generous portions, good value for the location, and a fast, attentive service are common themes, though crowds can make it loud and lead to wait times or busy service, particularly at peak hours. The experience is often described as memorable and worth returning to, whether for a casual bite or a date, with many appreciating the decor, the vibe, and the variety of options, including vegan choices. A few notes mention saltiness in some broths and occasional service hiccups or payment tip practices that could be improved, but these are outweighed by the overall positive impression of atmosphere, quality, and consistency across visits.View restaurant profile

Campo earns praise for succulent Portuguese chicken, juicy meat and a range of sauces. The table d'hote is repeatedly highlighted as a great value to sample multiple dishes, and the vibe is described as cozy with attentive, friendly service. The downtown location and options for dine-in or takeout make it convenient for lunch or casual dinners, with nat a, croquettes, salads and even poutine often named as high points. However, some visits fall short with slow or inattentive service, long waits to be noticed, or food arriving cold and with overpowering sauces. A few dishes are noted as underseasoned and portions can feel small, fries sometimes soggy or oily, and one Caesar on the menu drew criticism. There are also stronger complaints about price or overall value and a very negative experience tied to a quiet empty dining room and loud music in another visit, while many others still say Campo is a solid, convenient choice and would return for the chicken, sides and friendly staff.View restaurant profile
