We did the omakase option at lunchtime and we could go back again & again! Authentic Japanese omakase experience at the tucked away "back bar". Well worth it if you are a sushi/sashimi aficionado! Fresh from the Tokyo fish market, a fantastic assortment of "exotic" and staple Japanese fish & shellfish. read more

Little Tokyo - The teriyaki chicken. Huge plate of chicken. And the hibachi shrimp rice - Japanese Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Right off the i10, this refreshing and complete Japanese restaurant boasts fresh sushi and rich, brothy ramen. The Tokyo salad is a very refreshing and pleasingly-tangy mix of mushrooms, seaweed, iceberg lettuce topped with a mayonesa vinaigrette. When done correctly, crab rolls are my jam. The rice is perfect, the asparagus cooked, crisp and cool, and the crab very fresh. I am a sucker for octopus, and the octopus here is on point - I don't know how they get it so delectably fresh. It is served cool on a foundation of rice and a seaweed ribbon. The dynamite roll is excellent. The tuna, the yellowtail, the whitefish... are a fresh and tender trio. The wait staff is kind and helpful. The music is upbeat and the long room is a welcome oasis from the north causeway concrete. Legitimate Japanese establishment that cares about what they serve and the people that they serve. Delicious. read more

The sushi is always fresh whether you dine in or order take out. The hibachi rice is pretty good too.

Love Little Tokyo. You just can't go wrong. There larger rolls seem larger than any other sushi restaurant. The service was great. They were crowded but we got our food pretty quickly. The restaurant is beautiful and has plenty of parking and seating. read more

Had lunch at the sushi bar. Best sushi I've had since I moved to NOLA 3 years ago. We had various kinds of sushi and sashimi - following the fresh fish board and chef's recommendations. Everyone was fun and welcoming. I'm planning another visit soon. read more

Overall, my husband and I love this restaurant. The only issue that we have is with one of the managers. Every time he has delivered our soup he puts his thumb in the soup grossing my husband out. All of the other servers use a tray to deliver the soup. We have given him the nick name of "Thumbelina". read more

I truly enjoy visiting Little Tokyo for lunch. The food is always fresh and delicious. Some of my favorites are the Utah and Mardi Gras rolls, their hibachi rices (ask for some yum yum and chili sauce), and the jalapeño poppers. Their special rolls are huge, like you need nothing else to eat with them if one is ordered. If you sit at the sushi bar during lunch, they give you a delicious salad, l need to remember to ask what the green noodles are in it. The service is always great, and the sushi chefs are always so nice and helpful. Great place to visit for large parties, but can be pretty loud in there. There is a good amount of parking, and when it is full, the is also some street parking. Until we meet again. read more

WHAT HAPPENED!!! Been going here for years, we actually drive from Slidell just to eat here. The soup was flavorless, the spicy tuna tasted like old fish and the nigiri was slimy and to be honest inedible. The tempura was under cooked and some of the vegetables were raw. I tried something new this time, a tuna steak. Really bad, very over cooked and dry. The service was non existent. Our meals came at least 5min apart, we had to go steal napkins from an empty table and i went to the bar to get my own take-away containers(thought my cat might enjoy the leftovers). No recognizable staff from previous visits. Good luck if you go there. read more

The worst service I've ever experienced in my life. We come here quite a bit, the food and service have been great up until now. We ordered the drinks and food when the server first came to us. 10min later the others eating with me gotten their food except for me. I saw the server sitting down talking while my drink was sitting at the bar. The drink I ordered was sitting at the bar for 10min till I received it. 20min later I still haven't received my food. I told the server to not worry about my food and if I can have the check. I was waiting for my food For 30min. My server wasn't around so I saw two workers walking past and asked them to speak to a manage. One of them saying it in a rude way me telling to hold on a second. The other guy was the manager and was apologetic and gave a free sushi roll. The server then confronts me asking me if it was her service that was bad and I said overall it was bad! The worst service ever! I've received bad service before, I never complain and still tipped well but this was unacceptable! read more

Nothing too special for this place. The ramen is not the worst we've had, but definitely not the best either. Their staff was very accommodating, so that's a plus. They have a half-open kitchen with a sushi bar, and they have more than 10 people working total for the kitchen, with majority of them working behind the sushi bar, so maybe we should have had some sushi instead? read more

Top choice for Japanese restaurant in the Metairie / Greater New Orleans area - a great value. A lot more quantity with similar quality compared to Shogun. The hamachi kama is tender, flavorful, and the 2-3 pieces are 50-100% more than what I'm used to at other places. Agedashi tofu is like 12-14 large size cubes, again it's like 50-100% more and one of our favorite dishes there. Nigiri was high quality, yellowtail was a standout and others were good too. Ramen is standard and not the best thing on the menu, but adequate for kids or if there's a craving. Restaurant owner is Japanese. read more

Little Tokyo is good when there are events in the city. There are no major complaints just inconsistencies. I frequent this place quite a bit. They serve healthy portions. Would I recommended? Absolutely. Wouldn't recommend it when there appears to be a lull in city activity or during the middle of the week when business is slow. This review is not based on sushi alone. I've ordered sushi and it's been OK but their hibachi rice and veggies are excellent. If you are an advent sushi eater I suggest you approach this business with an open mind and give it some grace. The people/service is great minus the time a glass broke on the floor and shards of the glass popped me in the face and hair! It's worth a try just stay away from the bar area. You might get popped in the face with a glass dropped on the floor! Protect your eyes where sunshades. read more

My 2 y/o nephew and I love ramen and sushi (yes, he's a little boujee baby lol) so I went on a hunt to find a good spot for us to try. By good I mean a decent area with decent parking. This place has good reviews so it was what we had for dinner. The sign alone makes you want to go in and see what they're all about. So me and little boujee baby walked in and were seated right away. Plenty of people there but still no wait...it was a bit spacious. Pretty with a nice atmosphere. Our waitress was cool but it was almost like I should have known exactly what I wanted upon being seated because she didn't come back to check on us very often. There was a wait in between the times we'd see her. She was really nice though. I ordered a sprite for the little one and a Tokyo passion for myself...it came in a regular drinking glass so it was a nice size drink but I could see why they were so generous on an alcoholic beverage...it was a little on the weak side. Drank it down like juice... it had a great flavor nonetheless. From the Specials menu I ordered the Cajun roll which was a cooked roll filled with crawfish, salmon, and cream cheese. It was tasty, although I'm used to much better sushi presentation. It was a pretty big roll! Me and little boujee baby enjoyed it. Up next, Ramen...What I wanted to be the star of the show...but it was just at the show, no star. I love Ramen so I expected more. It was decent compared to what I consider awesome ramen. They didn't listen to their ancestors when they seasoned it. Don't get me wrong it definitely wasn't nasty or anything. It was okay...I just wouldn't make this my go to ramen spot. I'd most definitely come back for sushi though. read more

Little Tokyo - Rainbow Roll - Japanese Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Walked in and was greeted immediately by the host. The restaurant had a large selection of food; my friend and I were having trouble finding what we wanted to eat. We had the steamed pork gyoza and it was delicious! I'm not sure what sauce they served with it but it went perfect with the gyoza. Disappointingly, the appetizer was the only thing we enjoyed here. The sushi tasted extremely off to us. The fish did not taste fresh and there was something weird about the rice. We also noticed there wasn't any seaweed in the sushi. The only thing that made the sushi taste better was getting an extra side of eel sauce (burning man) and sweet chili sauce (tropical). In my opinion though, it should not need extra sauce to be eaten but the fact was, it tasted horrible without it. I will not be coming back. read more

Wow, what a place to go! We had a great time eating and drinking. Had special room reserved for us, but helps to know the owner. Sushi and other menu is especially good if the guy looks like the sign is behind the counter. We were lucky to to have him prepare some food for us. Everything was fantastic, just like what you would expect if you were in Japan. Awesome! The place is just off the causeway &I-10. You must try! read more

The order was placed through little Tokyo, the card was charged by little Tokyo and they said the driver must've ate my food and there is nothing they can or will do and we're extremely rude, not willing to help and incredibly unprofessional. Hard to talk to. Not willing to accept any responsibility to customer or customer service. Beyond frustrating and disappointing that they have record of order and payment and wouldn't even remake order to have food. This restaurant was filthy dirty when I had to go in person to dispute charges and staff was aggressively rude. Threatening. Snow Crab Tuna rolls snow crab rolls read more

Little Tokyo - Receipt for delivery from little Tokyo - Japanese Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

This restaurant is near the hot I'm staying in the Galleria area. We stopped in this evening for sushi. We sat at the bar to eat, and ordered some Saki which was hot and horrible. I looked around the bar, which had a lot of empty plastic plates and a lot of degenerate employees behind the bar. There were a lot of sketchy people there to eat. I told the waitress that I just received a call and had to leave unexpectedly. The bill was $9.00 for the Saki, so I gave the waitress $20.00 and was happy to gtf out If you are traveling, stay away from this degenerate dump. read more

Perfect late night spot! They're open until midnight as long as you're inside by like 11:15-11:30 but still great to have any restaurant open that late especially for sushi!

HAIR IN FOOD!!! I ordered a Funky Margarita roll from Little Tokyo today and I found a piece of hair in my food! It wasn't just laying on top of the roll, it was rolled into it because I wasn't able to see it or feel it until after I had taken a huge bite. While chewing I felt something weird and I said to myself, "I hope this isn't a piece of hair". As I began to pull the strand of hair out of my mouth it felt never ending because the strand was so long. After the strand broke, I ran to my bathroom to spit out the rest of the roll and I saw the remainder of the strand entangled with my partially eaten roll (pic attached). I was disgusted and I felt nauseous. I attempted to throw up several times following this discovery because I had already eaten a few pieces of the roll. I called the restaurant to report the hair in my food and the hostesses placed me on a brief hold to inform her supervisor of the incident. When I was taken off of hold I was asked if I would like to remake my order, which I declined. I noticed that I wasn't offered a refund, so I then requested a refund. I was placed on hold for the second time for the young lady to speak with her supervisor. When she returned to the phone she informed me that her supervisor requested that I bring the food in to prove that it had hair in it to get a refund. A little taken back, I asked her if they needed to see the hair in the partially chewed food in order for me to get a refund and she responded yes. (I'm sure that Little Tokyo doesn't receive many complaints about hair in the food, so if someone calls to complain about something like that there shouldn't be much second guessing. Also, the supervisor didn't need my card to give me a refund and could have done it over the phone). I am so disturbed and disgusted by this situation. Not only was I chomping on some rando's piece of hair, but I didn't like the response of the restaurant given that I am a regular customer. After this situation today, I won't be visiting this restaurant anymore and I am now hesitant to visit any other restaurants. I have gone to countless restaurants over the years and I have never had a piece of hair in my food. I felt obligated to warn others. Eat here at your own risk. read more

Decent location in metairie. Not necessarily by the hustle and bustle. I was turned onto the place by my best friend who has somewhat of a sushi addiction. She loves this place and I have to say, I agree. Good seating and decent sushi bar. Quick service. But most importantly, you get so much more than you pay for. Big plates with fair prices. Chocolate, utah, Tokyo roll all come highly recommended. Crab salad was large and decent. I plan to frequent this place. Below is the uptown roll and fema roll read more

I wanted sushi with some friends and came to this location because more flexible hours of open. First we had a group of 11 and they do t take reservations. A few of us got there early but we would not be served til our entire party came. If we wanted service prior we would have to eat at the bar. Our complete party arrived but our order was never taken til well after 20 minutes. In ordering our waitress was beyond rude. Good came out so inconsistently. My entree came before my appetizer. She completely forgot to bring a plate of vegetables and sushi. I have it two stars because at least the food was delicious and well prepared. Everyone said rock and sake next time. I agree. We spent good money not to be treated poorly read more

I have always loved this place, the quality, and its huge portions but the last time I went the service fell a little short for me. The food was exceptional, fresh, and reasonably priced as always, but every time we ordered something, it was an issue with our waitress. When we would order, the waitress was just not familiar with the menu and had no idea what we were talking about (as if the item we ordered wasn't on the menu when it clearly was). This became an issue when a few of our items came out wrong and it was incredibly awkward to correct her when we had repeated the order back to her a few times. We had even pointed out the menu items to her when she seemed confused to show her that they were in fact on the menu. This is the only time this has happened to us at this restaurant but it was a little off putting. I'll be back for the great food and prices, but I'm hoping there is less of a mix up the next time we go so we could have a better overall experience. read more

Best yellow tail collar in the area. Salmon sashimi just MELTSSSSS in your mouth. I like dipping it with a side of ponzu sauce. Yellow tail sashimi also melts in your mouth. Ponzu with a hint of orange just tastes amazing. Burning man - good if you like tuna..like a lot of tuna. I kind of got tired of it after one bite. It was just too much imitation crab which made the roll bigger. Salmon + salmon roll - if you love salmon & lemon get it. There's fresh salmon and cooked salmon in it with a lemon on time. Chicken Yaki udon - it comes with plenty of stuff in it. I wish it came with a little more udon, but thats just me because I love udon. It's flavorful and not dry. Plenty of sauce. And a great portion to share. Baked mussles come with 4 in an order and they were just okay. Service was great. It wasn't super crowded but food came out kind of slow. Overall still one of my go to sushi places when I'm in town. read more

One of my favorite Japanese restaurants. Anytime we went there, we always ordered same menu items. As we noticed the quantities of one menu items sometime different. Such as my favorite Salmon Sashimi. Agadeshi Tofu, sometime the cut bigger than our other visits. The ambiance really nice, but we prefer listen to authentic Japanese music playing on speaker rather than American / English music. Just seemed too common. read more

Friendly and quick service. Being filipino I got excited when I saw they had an adobo special on the menu so I went ahead and ordered a plate. Unfortunately it didn't meet my expectation and was a little bit bland for my liking. Didn't have that authentic flavor I was looking for but it wasn't a deal breaker as it isn't the restaurants specialty anyway. Overall everything else we had were good plus food portion is huge so make sure to order different items off the menu if your coming with a group cause they are share size. read more
