Marshfield Diners Have a World of International Cuisine Choices
Marshfield may have a population of just 18,000, but eating out can feel like traveling the globe.
The city has a variety of restaurants that offer international fare and flair. For example, fans of Mexican food can frequent places such as El Mezcal and El Jalapeno, while those who prefer Italian can visit Gianeselli’s to order a fresh plate of chicken Parmesan or butternut squash lasagna.
Meanwhile, China Chef gives the city a flavor of the Far East, as does the Japanese menu at the popular Royal Tokyo restaurant, which is housed in a historic train depot.
“When I first opened my restaurant in May 2001, I thought it was time for Marshfield diners to experience another variety of different cuisine,” says Hui Kiew Law, owner of Royal Tokyo. “I decided to establish the teppanyaki style of cooking here in Marshfield, with teppanyaki being another word for hibachi. It features top chefs cooking the meals on a grill right in front of the customers, and the diners seem to love the theatrics as much as the food.”
Law says his restaurant struggled during its first couple of years due to construction on Veterans Parkway that made it difficult for motorists to access Royal Tokyo.
“However, once the roadwork was finally completed, people got to know us and helped spread the word about our fine reputation,” he says. “Now we have an excellent location, and the historic train station building makes my business even more interesting than it already is.”
Menu options include rib-eye steak, filet mignon, lobster, shrimp, scallops and chicken. Royal Tokyo is only open for dinner from 4:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
“Marshfield diners have quite a few interesting international cuisine options to choose from,” Law says. “We at Royal Tokyo are pleased to be part of it all.”
