Amazing food! Serves real ramen/udon! Good service. Great atmosphere! Unlike most Asian restaurants this one plays modern music for a younger crowd and has live bands! There is a stop right next to it on the streetcar route. If you live in town it's easy to get to from any connecting bus/streetcar line. However, if you are a tourist, just... More

This review is for the Mid-city location. It is hard to find a reasonably priced restaurant with good service and free off street parking – but Little Tokyo Mid City meets all of these requirements. Our hostess Francesca was very helpful in coordinating our arrivals – and the wait staff offered great suggestions. The sushi was fresh and excellent.

Myself and two sons stopped in here for a meal. The staff and service was excellent, the establishment was nice, clean, up to date. Loved it that they give warm wet rags to wash hands before the service. Great atmosphere. However we ordered rice bowls, which come with a small soup and salad, The rice will have veggies, or meat...

I go to Little Tokyo in NOLA about once a year. It is dependably good & food always fresh & yummy. It is casual but the service is speedy. It is not unusual to see single people dining alone. In fact I am usually solo when I go there & I am never uncomfortable about it. They do keep TV... More

I get sushi from here at least once a week. It's always fresh and prepared quickly whether I'm dining in or getting it to-go. The also have a Hibachi that a lot of people seem to like. The only thing I dislike is that I was charged .50 for eel sauce when I order to-go. Otherwise, I highly recommend the... More

It is a little different than other traditional Japanese restaurants in the New Orleans area in terms of decor. The decor is more modern American than Asian. The sushi bar is very nicely done. Their Omakase (which for some reason they do not advertise well) is great. I have got that a number of times and have enjoyed it always.... More

It's painful to write this because Little Tokyo is in my Mid City neighborhood and I've eaten there countless times. Maybe the last two times we had take-out was chef's night off. But that wouldn't account for the poor quality of the ingredients. My husband always has steak teriyaki. The last two times it was unchewable if not inedible, more... More

I did not realize this place was as nice as it is; you just wouldn't guess from the outside. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the interior is and how good the food is. The service was good as well. We will be back!

We go to the Little Tokyo on N. Carrollton and we love the hibachi there! We always have the same chef and he is amazing! I would recommend this place to anyone. We only had a problem one time and it was with the server Gwen. There were no other hibachi tables sat at the time, so she wasn't busy,... More

This review pertains to the N. Carrollton branch of Little Tokyo. New Orleans has experienced an explosion in the growth of Asian-themed restaurants, and Japanese food is now ubiquitous across the city. Little Tokyo continues New Orleans' trend of good quality Japanese restaurants with a great selection of offerings from hibachi dinners to tempura and sushi. The look of Little... More
