Little Tokyo Restaurant

I lived in New Orleans for a year and landed in this place. It's been a couple years since I've moved but this place has been tatted into my mind. They have the BEST hibachi ever. They clearly cook their food with alot of love, because it's honestly helped me with a lot of things. The people that work there are always such beautiful souls. I've never once went and have a bad experience. I love it. The music, the art, the smell!! It's a beautiful place. This is more of a thank you, because this place mentally makes me okay. I always come to this place the moment I come, and then one last time before I leave. I think i'd die if this place ever shut down.

Food was fine. Yaki soba was a little flavorless. Sushi rolls were fine. The miso soup we received made my stomach turn sour. My daughter also had a miso soup - I hope there wasn't one in hers. After bringing this to my waitress's attention she took them away. Still was charged for both soups.

Quick service and a wide sushi selection--this little hole in the wall offers all the rolls and bento boxes a sushi lover could ask for. We ordered the bento box and a few different salmon and tuna rolls. All of the dishes were mighty fine and I especially liked the rich edamame hummus included in the bento box.

After some flight delays, we touched down in New Orleans and unfortunately, the first couple of choices were already closed, so we ended up at Izakaya Little Tokyo Restaurant. Overall, it was friendly service and the server even came by several times to check on us.I ordered the Bento Box #1 with salad. The salad was just okay, the hibachi chicken didn't have much flavor to it, and the crab and avocado were standard practice. I forgot that the hummus was edamame hummus. Needless to say, I hadn't acquired the taste, so I did not find that part enjoyable. One definite plus was the crunchy roll. I'm used to crunchy rolls where the fried parts are all over the outside. They put the crunchy parts on the inside so it wasn't overpowering. I found the rolls to be pretty flavorful, too! Glad I ate them last.Would I come back? Maybe in a pinch if convenient.

Best sushi in the city of New OrleansExcellent serviceThis place never ever disappoints

This place is okay for late night sushi. I'll admit, I have a favorite sushi spot. But they were closed when our sushi craving hit, so we tried out Little Tokyo. This is my SIL's preferred sushi "chain". Although she recommended the location on Causeway, this location is a bit closer to home. We ordered two rolls and two orders of pot stickers to go. It was pretty busy, especially for 9:30 at night. The service was fast and friendly, I walked right up to the bar in the back and I was in and out in no time. The prices were average, not very different from my regular spot. The big difference here was the quality of ingredients. Something in our typical rolls (tuna avocado, +asparagus) was not fresh - I think it was the asparagus. They were edible, but something was off. The pot stickers were just okay, too. I would have liked a little more browning on them, but otherwise they were average. All in all, not a horrible place to grab late night sushi in Metairie. There aren't many other options after a certain time, so it is what it is. I would go back if it were the same circumstances (late night), but I will definitely try to get an order in at our regular spot before they close in the future.

Let me start off with I can't believe I've never been here before. I've passed it a thousand times. What was I thinking???? My daughter suggested we go for her boyfriends birthday tonight, as it is their favorite place. I am SO glad we did. Let me tell you about the food. It's amazing ,they had a hot pot and you rarely find that. Super yummy , we got a bunch of stuff. It's extremely reasonably priced. AND the dessert selection is bigger than any Asian type restaurant I've ever been too. Cute, quirky atmosphere. I'm not passing it up ever again

While the phone usually eats first, in this instance that didn't really happen! I love this location of little Tokyo because they have really good cooked rolls, which I love, and they have some of the best fried rice compared to neighboring sushi and hibachi spots. They're super quick and tentative, and the vibes are really nice and relaxing. There's super Mario and other anime decor, and it's a quick in-n-out spot compared to the larger location with karaoke. I typically get a roll and the bento #3 which is enough for my partner and I to split. The bento comes with a soup or salad, fried rice, 3 yakitori sticks, crab salad, and tempura shrimp and veggies. It's the perfect sampler of food if you're indecisive and want a smaller portion of many things on the menu.

I ordered the veggie hibachi, the portions were small, more onions than any other veggie, heavy black pepper and cold when it came out.

Nice employees and the restaurant seemed clean but we found the yaki soba horribly lacking. It was mostly noodles with very little chicken and way too expensive for what we received. For the 2 of us the bill was over $40 and that's about twice what the meal was worth. We won't be back.
