Customer reviews present a mixed picture of Little Tokyo Japanese Restaurant. One reviewer appreciated the decor, noting that it evoked memories of living overseas and created a chill atmosphere conducive to conversation. This customer enjoyed the soba noodles with chicken and veggies, praising the flavorful broth, tender chicken, and refreshing vegetables. They also mentioned their partner loved the chicken Katsu, and they found the meal filling but not overwhelming.

However, another review paints a less favorable picture. This customer, seeking a new Japanese dining experience, found several issues. Upon entering, a table blocked the doorway, and the restaurant was initially dark and cold. Service was slow, with a significant delay in taking their order. Expired canned drinks were served. The quality of the food was also criticized, with the sushi being described as just "ok," the stir fry as potentially microwaved, and the pork katsudon deemed inedible due to being microwaved. A to-go order was also problematic, taking an excessive amount of time and ultimately being incomplete.

In summary, Little Tokyo Japanese Restaurant offers a variety of Japanese dishes, including sushi, noodles, and stir-fries. While some customers have enjoyed the atmosphere and specific dishes like the soba noodles and chicken katsu, others have reported negative experiences regarding service, food quality, and wait times. Potential customers should consider these mixed reviews when deciding to dine at Little Tokyo Japanese Restaurant.

Love the decor. Took me back to when I lived overseas as a little girl. The restaurant was chill so I was able to enjoy everything and talk with my partner. I had soba noodles with chicken and veggies. The broth was flavorful, the chicken was tender and the veggies was refreshing. My partner fell in love with chicken Katsu. We were full but not overwhelmed. Will definitely visit again.

Last night, my husband, son, and I were looking for somewhere new (to us) to try. We were craving Japanese. We settled in Little Tokyo because it had ok Google reviews - and was really our only option as we have been everywhere else around the immediate here. Walking in the door should have been our “sign” to go elsewhere. There was a table blocking the doorway that said DoorDash orders. A young guy appeared from behind a curtain, and I asked him if they were only doing to go orders. He seemed surprised but replied no, and moved the table out of the way a little bit for us to get by. He told us to have a seat anywhere. There were no lights nor heat on. About 15 min later he returned to the table and took our order. The lights and heat kicked on. All 3 canned drinks had expiration dates of mid Feb. Not horribly out of date. We ordered a sushi roll, filet mignon stir fry, pork katsudon, edamame, cucumber salad, and shrimp shumai. It took an hour and a half to get it all out. Husband said sushi was ok. My son could have gotten better stir fry at Round the clock. Pretty sure it was pkg and they microwaved it. And my pork katsudon was straight up microwaved. They took rice. Poured eggs over it w pork cutlet previously cooked and zapped it in the microwave. We couldn’t eat either. We also placed a to go order an hour into our meal of a tuna roll and salmon roll (6 pieces each). After an hour and a half, I had to go looking for the kid who was serving the table. He just kept disappearing. We were still the only ppl there. Finally he reappeared and we asked for our to go and the check. Someone came from the kitchen and said it would be 10 min on the to-go😳. So almost 2 hours later we were walking out of the worst meal ever. Getting home found there was only 1 roll not 2 - checked the receipt and gad been charged for both. How does this place have 4.1 stars on Google is beyond me. Never again.

They are very accommodating and kind here. The food is great, and I would recommend to not get a lot of fried things in the same meal as they are kind of heavy on it. The fried rice tastes great but it’s oily so I don’t prefer to eat it with something deep fried. Everything tastes great here and I’ve had a so much of their options. Great tempura, great katso, udon noodles, sushi, harumaki, egg rolls…all of it is good. You’ll pay just a little more than a corporate place but it’s worth the authenticity and also worth supporting local families.

Had a delicious lunch at little Tokyo yesterday the service was beyond a doubt some of the best I've ever had. Kevin the server was very nice and helpful. He even gave me a lesson about lychee lol didn't really know what it was till then but I'm definitely gunna order it next time if they haven't ran out of it. And without a doubt the firecracker roll was the best sushi roll on the menu besides the snowmountain roll. I can honestly say this was a gem and I will make sure to come back again.

This place was amazing,especially for smaller parties/couples or individuals looking for a good personal time out. This restaurant when you enter seems to be of its own world and has great entree options ranging from sushi to tempura, noodles and more. The desert selection was great, as I had mochi. They carry not only traditional American drinks but even these nifty cool bottled sodas that I def recommend either grape or lychee.
