Little Tokyo

2nd best sushi in the city for price, taste and size of each roll. I've went to this one and the south side one multiple times. Same ownership and same qualityPeople working are always nice. I never sat down at either one and only had takeout. Albeit it I can confirm the inside is always clean and has people eating there

Little Tokyo is my go-to sushi spot in Pittsburgh - it has a nice variety of rolls, is consistently good, and has super friendly staff! My favorite roll is the Discovery Roll, though the First Date roll is also a crowd-pleasure. First though, I have to start off with their house salad - there's just something about that delicious ginger dressing over iceberg lettuce that really hits the spot! Though I always get sushi when I'm there, I do appreciate that they have a lot of good non-sushi options on their menu too in case you have a non-sushi fan who wants to dine with you (like my mom, who loves their non-sushi fare) Overall, it's a solid spot that I highly recommend to anybody in the area with a sushi or Japanese craving!

The absolute BEST sushi in Pittsburgh and ever in my life! This place is a Mt. Lebanon staple and it is every residents favorite place to stop at when they come back to visit family and friends. The owner is always working and very friendly. The staff has been the same for years and have always been wonderful. The hibachi is incredible and the sushi is so fresh. The fried ice cream is also insanely delicious if you're not full by the end!

Had not visited in about 9 years and now so glad I am back!!! The sushi is AMAZING! Willing to wait when it's busy. No reservations. They also have hibachi and ramen options. Each time I have seen couples and families, there is something for everyone. Tip- they do put lemon on salmon. So if you don't want that tell them ahead of time!

After hearing rave reviews I finally had a chance to try the sushi at Little Tokyo. We got lucky and snagged the last two seats at the sushi bar. The fish in the case looked very fresh and tasty, and it was fun getting a firsthand view of the chefs whipping up beautiful sushi rolls. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice. They have several specialty rolls to choose from which was honestly a hard choice, they all sounded amazing. I ended up going with the first date roll, which had shrimp tempura and spicy tuna. I also ordered an avocado roll which was simple but delicious. This was definitely some of the best sushi I've had in Pittsburgh. My boyfriend ordered a hibachi meal with steak and chicken. He said it was excellent. Our server was very sweet and service was fast. I'm looking forward to dining here again.

I recently went here last night with my girlfriend and her family. we were visiting from Florida to see her family. we ordered our sushi and food and made sure multiple times that the waitress KNEW that my girlfriend had a severe and deathly shellfish allergy. then when the food came again, the we asked the waitress again and she confirmed and guaranteed that this plate had no shellfish in or near it. after taking a bite out of one of the rolls we found crab to be in it, which could have been ok maybe it was imitation crab and not soaked in crab juice. so the waitress then went to the back grabbed the package was bringing it back to us when she got taken away by another employee to the back. when she finally did emerge from the back kitchen, she came over and said oh I'm sorry there is crab in that roll and it's REAL crab, which is great, but not when you are deathly allergic to shellfish!!! Then we asked for our check so that we could get out of there and she left for another few minutes and came back with a benadryl. which is great but not when we needed an epi pen and to just leave. when we tried to speak to manager in between of her trying to get our bill they simply said, oh are you going to be ok? and we said probably not but they didn't seem to care at all! then they charged us for everything eventhough we barely touched our food as it had happened almost as soon as we finally got the food. that was our last night there and it ruined the whole night and not too mention my girlfriend was throwing up all night and had to use epi pen and those aren't cheap either. so naturally we called after the fact to try and get a refund and all we could get was they would refund us for the one roll that had the crab in it!!I just think this is ridiculous! horribly handled! I have worked in the restaurant industry for twenty years and have never seen any situation remotely near this handled so horribly! I really hope you never go to this place or support a place that would put people's lives In danger and seem to not even care about it! do the right thing and do not go to this place and give them your business!!! they do not deserve it at least until they can figure out how to be decent human beings!!

| Mt. Lebo - Pittsburgh, PA | Little Tokyo we're a family that loves little Tokyo! They have something for everyone. Hibachi for me, sushi for the rest of the family. That's why we chose to go here for my mamas birthday. Sweet potato sushi is ALWAYS a top choice esp for those who don't like seafood /sushi but wanna fit in I wish more places offered it, so I swipe it up every single time I see it on the menu!! This was the first time I had fried ice cream and it's also wonderful. So i'm a happy clam and this is a #GOUDapproved restaurant from me!! Hibachi Filet Mignon + miso soup $29.95 sweet potato sushi $6 for 6pc i'm not gonna lie I have no idea what rolls are what and I forgot to write them down. fried ice cream $7.95

I have been coming here since the late 1990s and while the inside could use a facelift, the food and service are absolutely wonderful. The restaurant is also always extremely clean. My favorite roll is the Spider roll but you can't go wrong with any of the fresh sushi options.

Little Tokyo was an unexpected find. We were passing by and randomly decided to drop in for dinner because it looked interesting. The restaurant gives me the vibe of casual sushi place from the last century (in a good way). Service was super friendly and fast. The food was great value for the price. So much cheaper than the same level of sushi in Pittsburgh. I felt that this was what gave me the biggest impression. Out of the salmon, spicy tuna, and eel roll, i thought the eel was the best. The shrimp tempura smelled so good because we were sitting at the bar and could see them making it, so decided to add it at the end of the meal. Did not disappoint! My only complaint is the dipping sauce was a bit bland. They also had an affordable sake menu.

Food and service is excellent! Udon and ramen bowls are all fantastic! I love The First Date sushi roll as well. It's a favorite. Very consistent and reliable dining experience!
