    a waiting area with chairs and paintings
    Viva B.

    Little Tokyo is a nice, family friendly restaurant. They have several Japanese as well as some Korean dishes & sushi. I had the Chicken Bento box, which had miso soup teriyaki chicken, California rolls, salad & rice. There is a deluxe bento box available that has 3 goyzas & tempura instead of California rolls. Everything was yummy & I liked their teriyaki sauce. The service was friendly.

    Beef  Bento

    A 'I need to go get groceries today, but I don't want to be hungry going in' staple! Little Tokyo has stuck through thick and thin over the years and there's a reason why- the food is good, the service is prompt and kind, and they've just always been a convenient location (with good-sized portions). As our family grew over the last couple years, the servers are always sweet and accommodating to our nearly two-year-old with high chairs and we discovered the kid's bento is just the right size. I recently had the beef bento. I like it much better than the teriyaki chicken (it's a little on the goopy side for me). Thank you, Little Tokyo! Always a pleasant visit.

    Tempura Vegetable Roll

    Heard that it was under new management and that there was an improvement in the food and yes it true I am very pleased with my meal. The spider roll is one of the best I had in Whatcom County. Also the tempura vegetable roll had either kobocha(Japanese pumpkin) or sweet potato but it's amazing either way. The rice was seasoned well. I also had the oyako-don grilled chicken and eggs with onions simmered in a sweet soy sauce over rice which again was one of the best in town, check them out!

    I like this place a lot. It's pretty consistent and well priced. The gyoza are delicious and we get them by themselves as a snack before going to haggen a lot! This last time we went we decided to try out the teriyaki, I got the chicken, and my husband got the salmon. Both were very very good but I think I won ;). We tried the yam fries instead of the gyoza that time just for fun and they were so good they were gone before the food got there. (which is very very very quickly) The ambiance is cute. I like the wood pannelling for the enterance and the beer posters aren't American so they're interesting for at least a lil bit. The service is awesome. Everytime we have gone, which has to be around 5 times at this point, the service has been stellar. The food comes out fast, it's not hard to grab someone's attention, and everyone is very friendly. All in all this place is a go to for us. The food is fast and yummy. Doesn't taste like it's premade. We have tried something from every category on the menu and are yet to be disappointed!!

    Wonderful place. Good service, fresh food and delicious teriyaki. I stop by here often and one thing that is solid is consistency. They have fresh ingredients and their sushi is good.

    Saba bento

    Stopped by to have a fish dish. I had "Saba (mackerel)" bento which came with rice, salad, and miso soup. Tasted ok, price reasonable, $10.95. オーナーが変わってから初めて立ち寄ってみました。鯖弁当を注文、お値段と量はなかなかでした。でもお味は普通かな。。ベリングハムには焼きサバのあるレストランが少ないので文句は言えないですね。

    Whoa, not sure how it took me so long to discover this great sushi spot in Barkley! I was initially skeptical, as I can be picky about my rolls. But these guys are the real deal. Menu was easy to navigate, plenty of choices without being overwhelming. Sushi was authentically prepared and beautifully presented. I had the Big Bham Roll (salmon, shrimp tempura, eel, avocado, crab mix, eel sauce, wasabi mayo) and the Rainbow Roll (yellowfin, salmon, shrimp, tobiko, avocado). Should have stopped, but couldn't help myself and ate everything! My waitress was amazing. She was the only one taking care of numerous tables, yet didn't appear flustered, and no one was waiting long. Excellent service.

    Pretty yummy, definitely try the baked sushi!

    Service was ok. Rolls were small and expensive. I had no idea that fish could be cut so thin and not in a good way.

    If a customer doesn't want the soup and asks for a bit more rice instead, give them some extra rice. How expensive is a bit of rice?

    Creative high-end sushi roll deliciousness. I'd easily give Little Tokyo five stars if the prices weren't just a tad high for Bellingham.

    Would be worth the price if the portions of meat/protein were a lot bigger.

    Part of my "food plan" for 2026 includes giving restaurants I previously avoided another chance…read more Zen Sushi was near the top of this list! When they opened many years ago, there was a lot of well-deserved local buzz. From stunning decor to one of the longest sushi conveyor belts I've ever seen, it was worth a visit just for the visuals. But the food and service were inconsistent, and I ended up never going back after my first few tries. Fast forward to the other night, my daughter and I did a mini "sushi hop" and ended up here. I have to say, I was pretty darn impressed! The conveyor belt was still just as long, and the ginormous sculpture (imported from Thailand IIRC) was still looming over the place. But they seem to have settled into their groove after so many years in business here in the Ham. We enjoyed a variety of options from the belt, including a few tasty rolls, as well as some nigiri ordered off the menu. Everything was fresh, hearty, and delish. I thought the prices weren't too bad, either. I will definitely look forward to visiting here again next time I'm having a sushi craving. I do want to say something about the service, as I noticed some recent reviews have mentioned problems in this area. On our visit, our server was very responsive and the special menu items we ordered came out quickly. So, at least on this particular night, there were no issues for us. Hopefully they're working on this!

    Oh Zen! Ummm, there's a lot to share. The most important is the sushi is subpar, the kitchen is…read moreDIRTY and gross. The eating area is yucky. The staff are too busy socializing in the corner to care. Won't be back. Yuck
