Dream Dining, parent company of Tokyo Table, is opening its third location of the restaurant tomorrow in Irvine. The latest edition of Tokyo Table features two private dining rooms for eight and 12. The main dining room features dark woods, deep leather booths, and ambient lighting from a large geometric lighting fixture in the center of the room. A wooden screen interwoven with pine, bamboo, and plum tree branches separates the bar from the main dining room.
The bar—which serves fresh-fruit sake cocktails and shochu—holds 25 and has decor elements including a chandelier created from 68 sake bottles. Outdoor dining is available with a patio that holds 18. Full buyouts of the venue are available. The main room holds 102, and the space holds a total of 147 indoors. The original location on restaurant row opened in January 2007, and Dream Dining has more plans to expand around Southern California.

We re-carpeted the entire space and set everything up in 12 hours,” Bruner said.](https://img.bizbash.com/files/base/bizbash/bzb/image/2020/08/IMG_6734.5f34173fa6723.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
