Once works are done, Tokyo Express will open from 11 a.m. to 8:20 p.m. from Monday through Saturday and 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.

“Our Carmichael location is built almost solely on the locals that we see every week! We love our regular customers and would like to build the same style of welcoming restaurant here in Rocklin,” Kim said .
