Tokyo Restaurant appears in inspection records 10 times, starting in 2022. On Apr 22, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

“Food stored on floor” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing seven times across the record.
That's lower than the typical Tampa restaurant, which scores around 79. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
