I stopped by Little Tokyo on Saturday, January 24, after finishing my shopping. It's located inside Arrowhead Mall, near the food court, and surrounded by plenty of other restaurants and shops. The mall area offers ample parking, which is always a plus. The staff was very friendly. There is a $0.30 upcharge for fried rice, but it didn't seem like traditional Chinese fried rice. It was more like white rice with soy sauce. My suggestion would be to make sure the rice is fried on the grill and seasoned a bit more. That said, the portion sizes are generous. I ordered the teriyaki chicken with steamed vegetables, upgraded to fried rice, and added a spring roll on the side for $1.80. My total was under $13, which is a great price. The spring roll was very good, and everything was freshly made. Overall, the food was good, but it could benefit from a little more seasoning, a more traditional fried rice for the upcharge, and additional teriyaki sauce on the chicken. read more

The food is great, Service is fast and most of the times the cashier is friendly. Great price for the food. Noodles are extra. This location is at the Arrowhead Mall food court so tables are sometimes limited. However there is a lot parking spaces. read more

Food was absolutely delicious!!! I was shocked because food court food is usually mid if it's a place you haven't heard of. the food is cooked right in front of you and is cheeper than panda two booths down! will be back often. read more

I didn't even order . I'm another worker in the mall and went to give respects to a hard worker that I see in the mall everyday i work and I have a 6 day schedule all day and he's there everyday !!! I was trying to give him a little present from one hard worker to another but when I tried the crew members tried to give me attitude when I asked for a manager . Then they presented me with the actual crew members who I tried to give thanks to so I knew he wasn't a manager . Then they had another crew member try to pretend to be the manager . The pretend manager/crew member an older gentleman didn't even listen to what I said and proceeded to walk away mid conversation . Went from a compliment to a complaint based on their decisions and the way they acted and treated me . It's as if they didn't even care . read more

Absolutely horrendous! There was a roach found in the food today. The cashier and cook didn't even look surprised grabbed the plate and quickly refunded the order. Will be contacting the health dept. Completely unacceptable health conditions to be servicing food in this situation read more

Love little tokyo, better than panda thats right next to it and good portions too for sharing

I've never had a bad meal at Little Tokyo. I get the teriyaki chicken and sometimes I add shrimp with noodles (no veggies!!!). They're usually pretty quick with your order and you get to watch them make it in front of you. Great portion size for your dollar. I don't come to the mall often but it's always a treat cause I know I'm prolly going to make a stop here :-) read more

Little Tokyo - Chicken Teriyaki, noodles and white rice - Japanese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Great food court atmosphere and take out. I used to frequent here when the mall was full. Enjoy going there just for the food now.

They are so rude and the owner was no help . Never eat here . The cook was extremely rude and not understanding when I was just trying to ask questions. read more

this place is the best!!! definitely slept on. wayyy better than asian food in the area!! get yourself a bento for lunch!!!

I love the food there but I had a terrible experience with a rude guy when he was preparing my food. I told them I'm allergic to shell fish if he could use a different fork on the noodles when giving me my food because the lady in front of me order shrimp and when he did my plate he use the same fork .. he told me to go to Panda Express. Wow I would think he heard of cross contamination which people can get very sick when they are allergic to shell fish .. How hard was it to make sure they don't use the same fork on shrimp and noodles etc .. I bet the health board would love to hear this .. read more

So good. So much food for such a reasonable price. You get noodles/rice with beef or chicken and lots of veggies. Food is fresh and flavorful read more

This is a decent fast food place located within the mall food court. My girls love to get the chicken teriyaki with noodles instead of rice. The food is decent, sadly the egg rolls and wontons were a little over done the last time we went. Also the sushi is premade and prepackage in a bento for the bento meals. The meat and rest of the items are fresh for the bentos. We will likely be back since it is my kids favorite, but we will steer clear of the bentos in the future. read more

One of my favorite local places, great food, and great customer service, the lady who runs the register always has a big smile, and is very kind, the food is affordable and filling! read more

This is my favorite teriyaki chicken! It's super simple and has the flavor that is the best. Noodles are perfect, vegetables delicious, all together heaven. All the rest around town, there is something off. Please never change :) read more

During a recent outing to Arrowhead Towne Center with my BFF, we stopped by the food court for lunch and she suggested this place. I've always passed by it for competitor but with her recommendation, I finally tried out it. Holy moly, you're dollar goes far here. If you want delicious food and large portions on a budget, you've come to the right place. I won't go anywhere else in the food court now. read more

I'm never disappointed here! The food is always tasty and up to my standards! I keep coming back to Little Tokyo! My all time favorite is the chow mine with teriyaki. Totally recommend for family and friends! read more

Bento box is awesome. Enough quantity and varieties in that. We took chicken shrimp bento. Shrimp was very tender , not at all rubbery. Chicken was tender as well and taste very good. More of soya and vinegar taste in their meat but extraordinary. read more

I visited this store first way back 2016. I believe the owner was a Japanese elderly couple, and I met their grandson, who was the cashier back then. They always have good food and a great service, very humble family. After 7 years, I visited again, and it's still the best bento I've ever tasted. read more

Love this place the food is very flavorful and always fresh will continue to eat hear and highly recommended to all those wanting a fresh and well tasting dish read more

This is my granddaughters go to place to eat at when she visits. They don't have one in MO so when she visits grandma she brings a list of places to go eat at. She loves teriyaki chicken and soft noodles. There is enough food for two days. She just loves to eat there read more

They used to offer a side of chicken only. Now they don't...ok, fine; that stinks, but alright. Now? You (I'm not joking) cannot even pay full price to get only chicken - they REFUSE to serve the chicken without the rice/veggies. They won't even put it on the side. Worst customer service I've ever had. read more

I typically don't eat mall food because let's be real it's been either sitting forever under lamps and service sucks, but today there was a guy really working it and asking people to try samples. He was so funny and friendly. He sucked me right in. Who doesn't like free samples?! The menu looked really good and a ton of people were there Both ordering and waiting for their food. They had three guys working very hard and quick at the grill area. I decided on the chicken bento box. Mine came with teriyaki chicken, friend rice, steamed veggies, 4 small California rolls, and gyoza all for around 8.50! That's an awesome deal. Especially when Panda Express next door is charging so much more for less food, nowhere near as good and lacking service compared to this place. I had my food in minutes all while I got to watch them make it. My only complaint was the sushi. Didn't look or taste too much like a real California roll. I still left with a happy and full belly. The guy getting people to stop and try their food needs a raise. He's busting his butt and it really was drawing the crowd! read more

This place is our favorite Teriyaki chicken spot in town, The owner used to/still has another location in Tucson at the Park place mall and ever since I've moved to Phoenix I've missed it dearly and even some of the employees at this location used to work at the Park Place location in Tucson Az also. The food is just as delicious as it is in Tucson the fried rice is always soft and fresh as well as the chow mein noodles all made in front of you! The Teriyaki chicken is for sure our go to everytime even get the double meat depending on how hungry we are... This location is located inside the mall at the food court which has a good amount of seating but very busy pretty much at all times of the day but on days which that bothers us we just take our food to go and eat at home. Jist a reminder if you decide to do that ask for the Teriyaki sauce on the side :) read more

Little Tokyo - Terikayi chicken with fried rice and noodles. Very delicious! - Japanese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Seaweed salad: yay! Bright green and crunchy strands coated in toasted sesame oil is a delicious side, but hard to get it esp. at a reasonable price, so at $2.09 I happily added it to my Beef and Shrimp Bento Box and I was not disappointed. The outdoor seating area outside the mall's food court overlooking palm trees and distant mts. made me feel I was at some resort, except for the plastic throwaway plastic box and the lid they make you take even if you're eating the meal onsite (we really need to do away with all excessive unnecessary waste!) The dumplings were a little dry but the filling had a nice gingery flavor and the CA roll was fine, as was the main meal. Nothing extraordinary but for $9.99 it was a well balanced meal with veggies that didn't slither out of a can, and all was freshly made and some nice spicy notes. Remember to tip the very competent and pleasant chefs--they should put the tip jar near them rather than at the register--and remember to watch them prep your food on the griddle, ala low cost Benihana. read more

I wish I took pictures but next time I will. I love this restaurant in the mall. I only wish they had one closer to me because this place is delicious! I prefer Japanese food over Chinese food and there aren't a lot of fast food Japanese places. Yes, Tokyo Joe's is out there but mehhh. Little Tokyo has amazing prices for the amount of food you get plus there is just something so delicious about their teriyaki sauce! I just want to drowned my whole order in it. Everything has always tasted amazing and fresh! My husband likes getting the shrimp and steak combo with noodles. I prefer the teriyaki chicken (double meat) with steamed rice and veggies. read more

When a restaurant similar to Little Tokyo closed in Scottsdale Fashion Square I was so disappointed. I always love to grab a speedy, made to order healthy lunch on a day of shopping. Little Tokyo filled the culinary bill. I ordered the Teriyaki Chicken Special with steamed rice and veggies. You can watch your food being cooked to order. It comes to you steaming and you can ask for extra sauté if you please. I prefer this healthy option to the other Asian franchise a few booths down. I like to know when and how my food is cooked. And the price is right. read more

Disappointed...frequented this place years ago and son was in area and asked if wanted my usual...Teriyaki chicken with rice and vegetables. The vegetables were limp and seemed overcooked, the rice lumpy and my favorite the chicken was hard and stale mixed in with some fresh pieces. Wow, what happened? For a food court version in a mall you guys held your own but looks like quality suffered...hope not due to the economy!!!! read more

I love the Chicken Teriyaki Special so much! Great place to eat. Every time I shop here I get food here.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. I use to go to this place when i was at the mall. However today i had a very bad service from the person. Who was cooking the food. He served me all the bad meat that was left there for long time. I had paid for Fried rice and he give me steamed rice also I paid for double the beef and chicken he gave me very little meat. Those people work there they speak very little to no English.the cashier was ok she spoke little enough English I canceled my order and left I will never go there. I will go to Panda Express next door read more

Went here with some friends for a post workout meal. Their plates come with with rice and stir fried veggies and is typically made to order. You can also ask for double chicken for another $1.50. A relatively healthy meal if you don't go too heavy on the teriyaki sauce! Packed with protein for all my fellow gym enthusiasts! read more

Really delicious food. Freshly made and the price doesn't compare to Panda Express. You get more for your buck and quality taste!

Surprisingly good food! It was one of the few non chains in the mall, and it was lunch time so I figured I would give it a try. If I am ever in this mall again, I am definitely going back! They were handing out free samples, and honestly, that helped sell me as the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend coming here if you're ever in the area. Great prices too! read more

Great spot! Only down side is that it's in the mall so if you're not looking to go shopping or fight any crowds then it's not the spot for you. However the food is wonderful and my husband is not a fan of food that's not American or plain but he always wants to stop at this place! It's a win for me when we do! read more
