Little Tokyo

Why 5 stars? Because this is a unique option on 105. --- --- ---105 is not exactly known for Asian eateries, outside of the occasional Chinese fast food spot. So if you're seeking a much-needed upgrade over Pei Wei, this is the place to go.I came here during the week, because, well, they are only open during the week. The hours are 11a-4p M-F. That's it. And good for them. Small business owners have such a challenging way of life - I cannot imagine the hours many of them have to put into keeping a restaurant afloat. So if these folks can manage only being open 20 hours a week, I'm happy for them.When you walk in, there's a sushi bar and a handful of tables with a semi-open kitchen area. It's a fairly intimate place. I was torn on ordering sushi or an entree, so I went with both! The Fuji Mountain Roll was quite the production on a plate. This was not simply a sliced roll on a plate - there were so many toppings that you could hardly see the sushi itself. And it was quite delicious. The Beef Teriyaki was also wonderful. It was plated with care and pride - like a combination of restaurant--quality with the love of a home-cooked meal.I don't often find myself driving around 105 looking for lunch on a weekday, but if I do again, I'd happily pop back in here.

1st visit... why didn't anyone tell me to have lunch here??!! My daughter and I very much enjoyed our lunch! We shared 2 sushi rolls (Montgomery & Crunchy Rolls) & the shrimp teriyaki. Everything was delicious and more then plenty to fill us up! The sushi was fresh and the teriyaki was freshly made and included a salad and soup. This place is small and is only open until 4pm but it is definitely worthy a visit. The service is wonderful and the restaurant is very clean. I love finding locally owned restaurants that meet/exceed my expectations! Please note: the prices are slightly higher than the menu pictures. Price difference is just $1-$2 dollars for most items. I didn't realize the menu pics were outdated or I would've taken some. Sorry foodsters :/

Absolutely love this place and the family that runs it! Not only is every sushi roll I have purchased here been amazing but it feels like home when you are dining in. Prices are very reasonable, especially their lunch special. Be warned though their hours are a bit wonky. This is a true mom and pop shop and they have a family they are trying to make time for.

Rolls are a favorite of mine. And working for a Japanese company, have been in many Japanese restaurants. I had a lunch menu 3 rolls late. Portions were large as it was s complete roll, not half of one as many places offer. Rolls were handmade when ordered. And they were ok. Not great, not bad, just ok.

You know, I really wanted to come here and give this place a fair chance. I go to akashi often because I know the sushi is fresh. But they are also busy, and I was looking forward to giving this other sushi bar a chance because it's closer. I checked the website open today until 8:00. I passed akashi to come here with my mouth drooling for some sushi. I overruled the urge to stop at akashi and kept on to Little Tokyo. I am a fair person and I try to support local Mom and Pop shops. They had about 50 good reviews and I was again more than willing to give it a try. As I get closer to the street where I'm supposed to turn my heart sinks because it is clearly an empl.ty parking lot, I still went ahead and pulled in despite knowing what was going to be the outcome. Sure enough Little Tokyo was closed at 6:30 on Thursday night. I'm devastated because now I have to drive back to akashi, which again I did pass on the way to Little Tokyo. Will I provide Little Tokyo the chance again, I don't know. I do know with this kind of outci, it's not likely

This is the best place for sushi in the Conroe/Montgomery area. It's an authentic sushiya experience. Fav roll here is probably the Mike roll. I used to like the Rick roll, but it turns out, I could give that one up.

Really good quality sushi. I tried the 2 lunch roll special, (Louisiana roll/Spicy tuna roll) yellowtail, salmon, and octopus Nigiri sushi. I arrived early, and was the only one there. The Miso was excellent. The sushi fish was as fresh as I've had, with generous cuts. I'll definitely be back, even the price was right!

We chose this restaurant, because it has much higher reviews than the other two sushi restaurants nearby. I do not know why it has 4.5 stars. Our hostess/waitress was a bit abrupt, not very friendly. The bathroom really brought it down from a 3 star to a 2 star rating. It was so nasty it made me lose my appetite. The restaurant also was not very clean, for example the blinds in the window we sat next to were filthy with dust. Maybe you think these things are not important, but it makes you wonder about the kitchen cleanliness. The house salad was good. The carrot dressing interesting and good. The rolls we had ranged from OK to good. None were great. To end, the fortune cookies were stale.

Pros: Basic rolls and sushi for great prices. The people that run this place are efficient and provide great service.Cons: If it's HOT outside, you better be in and out or consider an establishment that has better AC. Eating sushi in a hot restaurant just isn't a great combo.Overall, good for a quick lunch, but wouldn't go out of my way to dine here if looking for ambiance and incredible presentation. Recommend WO Sushi in Woodforest for "date night" quality. Sushi in Montgomery/Conroe seems to be difficult to come by for consistent quality, which is why I've overlooked Akashi on Lake Conroe.

UPDATE: It's now over 7 years later since I last reviewed Little Tokyo and I still stand by everything I said in my first review 7 years ago. This is still my favorite local Japanese restaurant and everything there is always extremely fresh, especially the sashimi, sushi, salads and edamame. The price still is the best around in my opinion as they seem to not have gone up nearly as much as other restaurants have since the pandemic. I tend to be extremely picky about the Japanese food I eat, and I continue to go there whenever I want quality Japanese food at a reasonable price. I do strongly disagree with some of the negative comments I see from other reviews of this restaurant here on this forum. Yes, it's small. Yes, there's not a whole lot of "ambiance". The server has never EVER been anything but pleasant with me for the 7+ years I've been going there (once or twice a month). But I honestly don't give a flip about any of that. I'm only interested in quality Japanese food at reasonable prices and this place fits my wishes and wallet better than any other Japanese restaurants I've tried in my area over the many years I've lived here as I am local. My bottom line is they have great traditional Japanese food at affordable prices in my opinion. I will continue to be a loyal customer of theirs for as long as I'm living here in the area. I still highly recommend this Japanese restaurant. Anyone who wants more than that should go somewhere else in my opinion.
