Restaurant, Sandwich: Subway and Bagelmaker




1821 Dell Range Blvd
To its left is Tokyo Bowl, and to Tokyo Bowl's left is Barnes & Noble.

The same person owns both the Subway and the Bagelmaker, so workers there are trained in how to make both subway sandwiches and bagel sandwiches.

Subway has delicious sandwiches, heated or unheated. 4 types of bread, gazillions of toppings.

Bagel Maker has slightly fewer toppings, on a variety of bagel types. They had no chicken breast sandwiches, however, which annoyed me. I settled for a Breckinridge - roast beef, provolone cheese, mushrooms and sweet onions. Microwaved.

If you like sandwiches with freshly made ingredients, with more choices then you get at Jimmie Johns, this is the place for you.

Restaurant, Japanese: Tokyo Bowl




Tokyo Bowl
1829 Dell Range Boulevard
Cheyenne, WY 82009-4900

The Tokyo Bowl is sandwiched between Barnes & Noble on one side, and a combination Subway/Bagelmaker restaurant on the other, on the right hand side of Dell Range Blvd.

It is open from 9 am to 9 pm.

The restaurant features authentic Japanese cuisine. The wait staff were very nice, very solicitous.

The food was delivered on a sizzling hot metal plate placed on top of a wooden serving tray.

The cost of the food was a bit expensive - about twice what you'd pay in a Chinese restaurant. But you're not going to find a majority of this food in any other restaurant in Cheyenne.

Indeed, I have to confess that there wasn't much on the menu that I would eat. 98% of it is seafood made in the traditional Japanese manner - eel, octopus, etc., as well as sushi and sashimi, of course - all cooked fresh to order.

There was some kind of beef, and chicken teriyaki, which I had.

The chicken teriyaki came with carrots, asparagus spears and other types of green stuff, with chicken white meat cut into peices on top of a bed of lettuce, drenched in teriyaki sauce.

The taste of the teriyaki sauce wasn't quite what I was used to, but once I got used to it it was pretty good. The meal came with either soup or salad. I had the salad, which had some kind of ginger dressing on it.

Over all I was quite pleased, and I think anyone looking for authentic Japanese, and who likes seafood, will like this also.
