Food was delicious like it always is. It was earlier in the day so they weren’t super busy luckily cause we were hungry. We were able to get food quickly.

The staff and good here at Little Tokyo is wonderful! I definitely have a lot of fun when I’m here. They have a lot of events like having DJs and live performances. When you enter, you’re greeted by a hostess and shown to your table. They have seating around a bar, booths, and tables. The restrooms are located all the way in the back. You can also see the sushi being made to the right after you enter. The sushi chef are talented and can even prepare sushi boats for parties as shown in the photo. To the left behind the bar, there is a dance floor and a stage where the DJ stands. At night, this lounge turns into a bar with laser lights! You’re sure to have a great time with friends if you come. After a certain time (around 10pm), you must be 21+ to remain in the restaurant.

Had a good time! Food was tasty, just was pricey for portion sizes, and seemed to have only one waitress working when we were there.

Dinner was very good. The 3 of ate for less than $40.00. Hibachi chicken with rice sliced carrots and mushrooms. Side salad drinks and a order of sushi. We could not eat all of our meals so we brought what we had left home with us.
