Little Tokyo in Leeds

Really enjoyed our dinner here tonight! I had the chicken curry, which was absolutely delicious, and the raspberry still lemonade which was also amazing! Staff were very friendly and good service. Would definitely recommend!

Dear true Japanese foodies, Don’t even think about stepping in this place. I’ve experienced here for you. One sacrifice is enough. Sayonara.

I went with my partner and six others. The service was quick, but there were a few issues. I ordered the eel bento box, but the eel with the sauce was extremely salty, even with rice. I considered complaining, but they were busy, and there were multiple mistakes. Saltiest grilled eel I’ve so far ordered which is what I would usually order at a Japanese Restaurant. My partner ordered the sirloin steak dish and requested it medium rare. It arrived well done, so he sent it back, but the replacement was also well done - disappointing. One of our friends ordered a bento box and asked for angry fries instead of rice, but it still came with rice. On the positive side, the raspberry lemonade was delicious and staff were friendly. Would I return? Maybe.

I love everything on their menu. but highly recommend the Japanese Curry - soo good :D One of my all time favourite restaurants

Great food!! Great service!! Homemade lemonade and ice-cream are ace!

Really enjoyed our date there today. Raspberry lemonade was stunning I want it in bottles 😋 huge portions of high quality food. Gorgeous restaurant and wonderful staff. We will definitely be back. Thank you 😊 😋

Comida muy media, apresurada y no cocinada completamente Sucio entorno, necesita una renovación y limpieza. Trona proporcionada sucia y rota Caro para la calidad servida, los tamaños de las porciones son abundantes tal vez ese sea el compromiso Ramen insípido, palitos de marisco usados no aceptables No volverá

Went with my family and the food is amaing! great portion !!

5 estrellas para la comida y el ambiente. La decoración era muy auténtica y única, con un montón de muebles artesanales e imágenes. La comida era muy sabrosa y buena relación calidad-precio.

Highly recommended! Lovely design and great value for food! Big portions for all dishes

Little Tokyo es un lugar escondido en Leeds que rezuma atmósfera. Con la gran cantidad de decoración y el diseño del edificio, es un lugar muy emocionante y vibrante. Para colmo, el restaurante incluso tiene un estanque de peces y un puente que está justo al lado. Hasta ahora, de todos los lugares en los que he estado, el ambiente y la disposición del lugar es increíble. En cuanto a la comida, fueron resultados más dispares. Pedí uno de mis favoritos, Takoyaki, que vino como se esperaba y fue generalmente agradable, no el mejor que he tenido, pero todavía decente, probablemente el Takoyaki más barato que he tenido, sin embargo, así que no puedo quejarme. Mi compañero pidió el cangrejo Tempura. Sabía lo suficientemente decente, nada de lo que escribir en casa. En cuanto a la red opté por el especial de lubina que estaba encendido mientras mi pareja pedía un poco de sushi. La lubina estaba ligeramente exagerada por un lado, lo que afectó demasiado al sabor y la salsa podría haber sido más sabrosa. No estuvo mal en general, pero no fue el objetivo para mí. El arroz que acompañó fue bastante agradable. Mis compañeros Sushi era lo suficientemente decente. Una vez más, no fue el mejor sushi que ha probado aunque tampoco estuvo mal, sino más bien promedio. Ella no estaba entusiasmada con la salsa de soja servida sin embargo sabía bien para mí, así que las opiniones pueden variar allí. Lo mejor que puedes conseguir aquí son las bebidas. Aunque la comida estaba bien, las bebidas son increíbles. Pedimos una limonada y un cóctel de maracuyá pero el servidor terminó trayendo una limonada de frambuesa por accidente. Probé la limonada de frambuesa antes de que el servidor se diera cuenta del error y la quitara, pero fue tan agradable que terminé pidiendo una más tarde durante la comida. El cóctel y la limonada regular también eran increíblemente sabrosos y refrescantes. Lo más probable es que vuelva a parar aquí sólo por la limonada o un cóctel. El servicio era razonablemente amable, pero tuvieron algunos problemas en el camino, como darnos la bebida equivocada o perder la pista de las mesas de pedidos, aunque estos eran generalmente mínimos y se resolvieron rápidamente. En general fue una experiencia agradable, la comida se podía mejorar, pero las bebidas y el ambiente realmente respaldan el lugar.

Amazing restaurant! Great atmosphere and great value for the food! Highly recommended

Great food and great atmosphere. The steak is absolute bargain and large portions. Highly recommend

Tasty food, good portion, friendly service! Definitely a good place to go for group meals!

Excelente comida y personal encantador recomendaría el cangrejo de concha suave y el cóctel de lichi. Ambiente muy relajado. Amplio menú y la comida llega rápidamente. Lo recomendaría para un viajero en solitario que se encuentran en Leeds. O de hecho una familia

This place is dirty and the food is not Japanese it’s not anything but disgusting food in giant portions.

Love this restaurant. Menu has been the same for years, and it is still perfect

Esto no es comida japonesa, llamarse a sí mismo incluso una toma de la comida japonesa es un insulto a la comida y la cultura japonesas. Nada sobre este alimento es auténtico los ingredientes, los sabores nada.

Got the chilli chicken ramen and it was one of the worst foods I’ve had. It had a random tripe and a boiled pickle in it for some reason. It was flat and it was as if the restaurant didn’t know what salt was. Just spice and no flavour. The takoyaki also tasted of burnt oil like very old oil. My stomach is hurting now

Never disappoints great food, lovley staff, great value for authentic japanese food.

Some of the worst food iv ever had with a ridicule price for quality

The place is perfection. Everything about it is so good. The quality is exceptional. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. I would highly recommend going.

The staff are delightful and the food is phenomenal would definitely recommend to anyone

Our favourite place for Japanese food and the only reason we even go to Leeds nowadays! Bento boxes are the best. I hope that Little Tokyo stays open for many many more years! 🍱🥢

Gorgeous food and decor. Perfect dinner. Such attentive service from La Min!!

Atmosphere was ok, but not perfect. Food wasn't great. Few couples hot starters was good and taste, but rainbow rolls was like with frozen fish. Next time i hope it will be fresh.

Fui allí con la familia para una cena temprano. El restaurante parece un poco caótico, y se beneficiaría de una clasificación adecuada! Sin embargo, todavía 5 estrellas como el personal era muy amable, la comida era excelente y realmente disfrutamos de nuestra visita.

Came here for lunch and had the best Katsu curry I’ve ever eaten! The starters and sides are also delicious

Poor quality food, i would not recommend eating here. The only positive point was that the staff accepted our complaints and removed the items from the bill. We left the restaurant hungry as hardly any of it was edible, unfortunately.

Loved this place for years and it is just as good as it has always been. I can't recommend the Benton boxes enough and there isn't a bad dish on the menu. It has an amazing atmosphere and is really warm and welcoming. If you want somewhere good to eat you won't find many places in Leeds better. Edit. Revisited 31.12.24. Not only was the food incredible again but the service was top notch too. We visited with our kids and they were happy to help out to make sure the kids got what they wanted and nothing was a problem. Excellent restaurant, could not recommend enough.

Little Tokyo is literally one of the "best kept secrets" in Leeds. I have been eating out here for about 20yrs, loved it when I lived in the town centre & would get take out for my lunch, but love it even more when we can treat ourselves & actually go to the restaurant to eat. The service is always good & the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. I would recommend Little Tokyo to anyone who loves hearty Japanese food at good prices. We go often, at least once a month & for two of us with starters, bento boxes, & drinks, usually got costs not much more than £50. It always surprises me when people who apparently like "authentic" Japanese food have never heard of Little Tokyo! More people need to experience this fantastic restaurant instead of going to the big chain restaurants like Wagamamas & the like, where the food isn't as authentic & costs way too much for what you actually get. Little Tokyo all the way. Never had a bad dining out experience here.

The setting, atmosphere and staff were all amazing. We shared a vegetarian starter which came out almost instantly and didn’t taste that fresh. The tofu and vegan chicken were great but the rest of the food was average. Before we had finished the starter both of our mains were brought out which made us both feel a little rushed and less relaxed. I’m not sure why they did this as the restaurant wasn’t full and we couldn’t see any need to rush food out. I had the special ramen, which was decent. My wife had the salmon bento box which was good but nothing outstanding. The staff were very polite and attentive, just some items which we ate and the speed of food coming out let the meal down.

It's amazing. This Japanese restaurant is really delicious. I have been in Japan so many times and this restaurant makes me feel like I'm in Japan.

This is my favourite Japanese restaurant. You can really find the taste of Japan.

Ordered sashimi (full portion) for delivery twice, and the second time, the portion was way smaller—almost half size of the first. It looked full, but it was just stuffed with lettuce. Food tastes good, but the RESTAURANT is really DISHONEST.

Food is gorgeous , good presentation and tastes great. Staff with friendly smiles , highly recommended.

Great food and really fast service, plus there's a big fish pond what's not to love

Food was absolutely gorgeous! The service was even better, they even sang us Happy Birthday with a gong 😂 love it here!

Great food and excellent service!

Little Tokyo hosted our party. From start to finish everything was fantastic, very attentive and friendly team. The food was delicious and they really went the extra mile for us. Thank you Little Tokyo.

La Min was amazing for our staff meal, made sure that we had everything we needed at all times and chatted to us all night!! Highly recommend for any event!!!

La Min was amazing for our Nespresso Christmas party! 🎉 he was so attentive and polite and dealt with our drunk shananigans 🙏

Fantastic service from La Min who catered for our staff party. Thanks again! Highly recommended 👌🏻

Finding lunch time zen in Leeds city centre. I popped into Little Tokyo in Leeds for a lunchtime visit, and it was such a wonderful experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly happy and friendly, making me feel welcome right away. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. There’s a great variety on the menu, and everything felt like excellent value for money. For the quality and portion sizes, the prices are fantastic. I can't recommend the beef bento box enough! The relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect spot to enjoy a break in the middle of the day. I’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend Little Tokyo to anyone looking for great food, warm service, and a great lunchtime treat. My one criticism would be that the spicy Ramen could do with kicking things up a notch. When something says spicy I really want that heat. Especially in the winter you know? But sitting there after a great lunch with a really lovely coffee. That Christmas shopping chaos just melts away. Definitely worth a visit for anyone looking to find a bit of peace and a fantastic meal.

My favourite Japanese restaurant in Leeds. It's simply beautiful. Excellent value. Amazing fresh food & delightful staff. Always fantastic 😍

Ok. Bento box was deep fried vegetable , with steak that was fairly well cooked. One of my friends had raw chicken and sent it back. They gave us a 10% NHS discount and the atmosphere was nice , though service slightly slow.

I recently discovered Little Tokyo in the summer and was pleasantly surprised! My friend and I were looking for something different to try when visiting from away and we're now that impressed we will continue to book future visits. We visited again this weekend and it's still so great. The staff are very friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The vegan duck bento box was absolutely delicious, offering a delightful mix of flavors. I was particularly impressed by the homemade drinks and sorbet, which were both refreshing and unique. And the ice bowl for the sorbet was a fun and innovative touch! If you're looking for a cozy and authentic Japanese dining experience in Leeds, I highly recommend giving Little Tokyo a try.

Yes, yes, and yes, cam there for my birthday with friends and it did not disappoint, the food 10/10, the everything 10/10, the decoration and overall scenery was just perfect, not stuffy either even though we were sat downstairs, they even have a little pond with koi fish. Highly recommended. ATEEEE

This place was amazing. Everything we ordered was super delicious. The service was great as well.

I recently visited Little Tokyo in Leeds and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The atmosphere was lackluster, with a tired and dated interior that didn’t reflect the quality I was expecting. The service was slow, and the staff didn’t seem particularly attentive or friendly. We had to wait a long time to even place our order, and when the food finally arrived, it was underwhelming at best. The bento and ramen were bland, and the portions were small for the price. Overall, the quality just didn’t justify the cost. Given all the other great options in the area, I won’t be returning.

Muddy salad, tasteless ramen in a dark cramped room with a couple of decorations and random smelly koi pond.

This is the 3rd time of dining at Little Tokyo and every visit has been simply amazing. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They make us feel welcome every time. The decoration is really nice and welcoming with lovely coy fish in a pond in the middle of the restaurant Me and my partner got a tofu bento box each. Absolutely delicious and filling. We'll be coming back time and time again. Thank you Little Tokyo Staff

The food was wonderful. However the speed of service was disappointing. Also the restaurant was in need of cleaning, lots of cobwebs all over the restaurant and many spiders crawling around.

Do not go here if you are a large group - Came as a group of 10 for 6pm on the 28th January and booked in advance, I was told to make the night easier to pre book and send it to the email address for little tokyo so I did. I chased all my friends for pre-orders sent an organised email of what every couple wanted. We get there at 6 and get asked what we want to eat, I said we pre ordered and they clearly did not check the emails and log this as the waitress had to take my phone and write the orders from my phone down. After this we order drinks, Some drinks don't arrive so we are chasing drinks by this time we have been at the restaurant 45 Minutes and not even had a full table of drinks, at 7pm the waitress comes up to us and asks are we ready for mains which we reply we have not even had starters yet, she chased the kitchen and the kitchen marked it down as we already received our starters. By 7:15 we received some mains, some of these wrong and sent back then cancelled some starters as we had booked something at 8:15 and did not want to be late. We ask for the bill and receive it and with card machine issues did not get out of little tokyo until 8:30. We was offered Sake as an apology but most the table are non alcoholics so this did not help at all. This was actually for my partners birthday so I cannot say how disappointed I am. The food was good when it came that is the only positive. The bill coming to 260 to be treated like that .

Avoid here especially if you are on a business trip. This restaurant doesn’t provide invoice or bill. They are not also responding to emails.

Amazing food as always. My favourite restaurant in Leeds. The bento box was unreal as always.

Después de pasar por delante muchas veces a lo largo de los años, siempre significa intentarlo un día. Finalmente lo hicimos. Ojalá hubiéramos seguido caminando. Decoración del restaurante bien, el personal todo agradable aunque ligera barrera lingüística. Pretenden abastecerse de una oferta sin gluten pero pobre. Una opción de caja bento, además de otros dos platos de todo el menú. La caja de bento que tuve echa de menos la verdura tempura y el único sustituto es más arroz o más ensalada que es solo un poco de lechuga iceberg con tira de pimienta y cebolla. Opté por arroz extra en mi caja de pollo bento y tanto el arroz como el pollo estaban fríos. No estaba seguro de si era cómo estaba destinado a ser servido, cuestionado en la caja y aconsejado que estaba destinado a ser caliente, así que no solo estoy preocupado ahora por la intoxicación alimentaria, también estoy molesto por pagar £ 16. 99 para la caja de Bento que era peor que la media. El miembro del personal ofreció una disculpa leve y dijo que aconsejaría cocina y me dio un 10% de descuento en mi comida que solo tomó poco más de £ 3 de la cuenta, así que todavía pagando alrededor de £ 13. 50 para una ofrenda fría y pobre. Ojalá hubiéramos hecho la sala de comidas en el mercado de Leeds.

I take my daughters to little Tokyo every Sunday and we are always served as it was our very first time...amazing food..Great atmosphere and the service of every single employee is amazing. However La Min has been there since our first time visiting the place and always is so patient and lovely with my kids...very kind and always concerned about our satisfaction. Thanks Little Tokyo... Big up LA MIN

Amazing food. Best sushi and gyoza.

Comida promedio. Tenía entrante mixto que parecía y sabía como una bolsa de aperitivos japoneses comprados en la tienda acababa de ser frito. Los fideos eran agradables para la principal. El servicio era muy amable, pero principal fue traído muy rápido, así que me sentí apresurado.

Had the ramen, the noodles and the meat was nice, but the soup was a bit bland.

I absolutely love it here always have a fantastic experience. The menu is great with loads of choice but not so much it’s overwhelming. Plenty to choose from for Vegans and Vegetarians too and you certainly don’t feel like you miss out. The food and service is always incredible here

Went for the first time so wasn’t sure what to expect. Had been told it was lovely. Must have changed hands since because the place was ok but not the most welcoming. The waitress was nice and polite. It was very cold inside. They have a fish pond inside that looked a bit dull with murky water. That wasn’t a good sign. My friend and I placed our order and it was served within ten minutes. Chicken and noodles with their own specially made curry sauce. Wasn’t impressed with the look and it tasted how it looked but was served on a cold plate meaning by the time I got half way through it was all cold. I even had to put my coat back on. A waste of £60 really but I guess you don’t know if you don’t try. However I won’t be trying there again.

I came to dine in at 9:20 but the staff at reception said that the kitchen closed. It’s so terrible service. Why the restaurant shows on the website that it will close at 10pm??? So disappointed!!!!!

Pasé por primera vez, de admirar la decoración del restaurante y la cocina. Me temo que fue una verdadera decepción. Me encanta el puente y la característica de pescado. El restaurante estaba prácticamente vacío. Nos sentamos junto a la puerta para facilitar el servicio del personal. Caminé hacia el otro lado del restaurante a través del puente, pensando que los baños estaban por ahí. Fue una verdadera pena que no estuviéramos sentados de ese lado, por el tema principal y el ambiente del restaurante. Sabía desde este punto, que el servicio iba a ser promedio debido a esta falta de detalles de los asientos. La comida era básica y carecía de sabor por desgracia. No es agradable. Los titulares fueron mejores que los principales. Fue una pena, como habíamos estado queriendo ir por un tiempo. El servicio era limitado y básico. Un ejemplo de nuestros platos de entrada se dejaron en la mesa que nos trajeron nuestro plato principal y nadie se registró en ningún momento. Lamentablemente, incluso tuvimos que pedir la factura. Con todo 👎🏻

Food was okay, not very great. But team was good

I have to give you a good review because of this lovey ramen! Highly recommend seafood ramen. I’m a semi-vegetarian and I don’t eat any land meat but only seafood. Therefore I have tried many Japanese restaurants and ramen places. And I have to be honest, it’s a very reasonable price you get many varieties of different seafood and vegetables. And it tastes really good 👍 I short stay in Leeds today and will come back once visiting this city again.

This was truly one of the worst dining experiences I have had in Leeds. It was meant to be a dinner for a special occasion, but as soon as we arrived it went downhill. The restaurant fumbled the reservation so we ended up being tucked away and forgotten about by. our server most of the night. We ordered a variety of stuff, and to be fair, the gyoza and chicken karage was alright. However, it took 30 minutes to get our drinks, and we had almost finished our food by the time they arrived. Then, the sushi was very fishy and of poor quality. I think we ate 1/4 of it and left the rest. To make matters worse, the servers walked past our table multiple times and just looked at the uneaten food without asking if there was something wrong. By the end I was ready to just pay and leave, which ended up costing far too much for a very forgettable meal. Safe to say this will be my first and last time at this establishment. Very, very disappointed. Would not recommend.

I have been going to Little Tokyo for years but hadn’t been for a while. Firstly we had to ask someone to take our order as nobody came to us. I usually have chicken teriyaki bento box which has always been lovely but it arrived very quickly & some of the chicken wasn’t cooked properly & still raw & some of the batter on the tempura wasn’t cooked & stodgy! Definitely not the experience I usually have!! Very disappointing & not sure I’ll be back!

I had been here years ago and enjoyed it so I wanted to repeat. Little Tokyo is a cosy restaurant tucked away on a side street in Leeds city centre. As you enter there is a bar and I was quickly greeted by the friendly staff and guided to my seat. The decor is really nice, there's cherry blossom trees, a bridge with a koi pond and nice rustic wood tables and chairs. After I was seated I had a look through the menu and decided on the tempura seafood platter and seafood ramen. I was asked if I wanted everything at the same time and I was surprised at how fast everything was prepared and brought to my table. The presentation was great. The seafood tempura was lovely and crispy and consisted of a small octopus, fish, prawns and mussels. For a side dish, both the price and the portion size were excellent at 8.99. The seafood ramen was very tasty - king prawns, mussels, fish balls, squid and octopus. They didn't skimp on the seafood and the portion was more than adequate. I wasn't able to finish everything, though I tried my hardest as I really didn't want to waste great food. I also liked the authenticity of the restaurant. I was given chopsticks and no knife and fork - which is absolutely fine for me. I'm sure you could ask if this was something that bothers you. The staff are so welcoming and polite and the atmosphere is really relaxed and comfortable. I had a long island ice tea along with my meal which I also really enjoyed. This is hands down the nicest Japanese restaurant in Leeds and I will certainly return once again. Thank you.

Ordered chicken ramen and I was truly disappointed, no authentic flavours, just some chicken and pieces of vegetables cut into random pieces thrown into a bowl of plain broth. The food was cold, microwaved with no quality for ingredients.

The staff are friendly and clearly work hard. Love the look and atmosphere at this restaurant. However, after my visit today, I’m sad to say that the quality of the food has gone down in comparison to my previous visits. Sashimi didn’t seem as fresh and a few items seemed like they came from frozen. A real shame, as this used to be one of my favourite restaurants in Leeds.

Because one of our kids has a newfound love of sushi, we've been looking forward to returning to Little Tokyo for some time. I'm really torn writing this review because LT has been there as long as I remember, and we have enjoyed many special occasions here. The staff were lovely, and the restaurant has retained the shabby chic atmosphere and deco we fondly remember (we love this but I remember thinking 10 years ago, a lick of paint wouldn't go amiss - perhaps it's time)! On to the food: Between us, we ordered a good selection. A Katsu Bento box, teriyaki bao buns, gyoza, soft shell crab, and nigiri. I would say the bento box and soft shell crab were the more successful dishes. The gyoza was a little cool, and the sashimi didn't quite live up to what we'dhad before. Also,he bao buns could do to be a little lighter. Don't get me wrong. Nothing was bad enough to complain... it just didn't live up to our amazing memories of this venue. We're willing LT to do well. Some little tweaks would make the world of difference. The other thing that would be nice to see, would be a broader selection of wines. I've given 4*'s... perhaps 3 would be a better reflection of my experience.

Me encanta este lugar. La comida es muy agradable, y el personal es siempre encantador. Siempre consigo la limonada casera de la frambuesa, así que es increíble! ¡Uno de mis lugares favoritos para comer!

Food is good and the environment is good. The food didn't impress me, though.

The place is amazing and the food is delicious, sadly the staff looked run off their feet and were struggling with the amount of custom they had.

On arrival we were asked if we have a reservation, we didn't and they were quiet but the lady still rolled her eyes. Anyways food is great, if I was to come again I'd probably book a table over the bridge, we got seated at the entrance and there are no barriers between, so I was basically touching a stranger, which made me feel uncomfortable.

Fuimos para nuestra comida de aniversario y se quedó muy decepcionado con la comida. Los 4 platos salieron en menos de 10 minutos, lo que fue una bandera roja, el ramen era insípido con pocas verduras, las verduras que estaban allí todavía estaban duras y sin cocinar y el aspecto de "chile" era un poco de chile en polvo arrojado en la parte superior del ramen estándar. Dejó la mayoría, ya que era esencialmente fideos en agua sin sabor, muy decepcionante.

Had a bento box from here a few times now and rack time was delicious. Friendly staff, beautiful decor, and great food. Wonderful.

I had just gotten back from Japan, and was missing the food and atmosphere. Lo and behold the perfect wee place was right here to give me that authentic feeling for a very reasonable price. Food was great, staff were lovely, and it was nice and quick so I had time to sit in for a meal out of the sun before my coach home. Arigato!

Delicious food, the vibe is very Japanese (as much as you can really get in the uk), food came fast, staff were nice and all in all just a nice restaurant. If you like Japanese this is a good choice.

Lovely food, stylish Japanese decor, friendly and polite staff, will definitely come back and highly recommended

This place is a disaster. The food was awful, bland, and barely edible. To make matters worse, I saw a huge rat inside, which tells you all you need to know about their hygiene.On top of that, it’s outrageously expensive for such badly prepared food. They’re scamming people by exploiting the appeal of "Japanese" cuisine, but it’s a disgrace to the culture.This place should just shut down. It’s a one-star dump pretending to be a four-star restaurant. Maybe it was good once, but now it’s horrendous. Even the lighting is terrible, straining your eyes and making the experience even more unpleasant. Disgusting and completely unacceptable.

Nice service, a bit expensive, good food

We have come here a couple of time, the staff are always attentive and friendly, and the food is always delicious. We are sure to be back.

Really gone downhill and doubt any of the food is actually vegetarian Terrible experience, my partner and I both ordered the king prawn fry bento box and sushi buttons. The prawns were overcooked and rubbery, not to mention somehow still smelt fishy (not a great sign and both of our stomachs has been acting up). The vegetable tempura was undercooked and under the outer layer, the tempura batter was completely raw. Not to mention, I found a piece of fish tempura mixed into my vegetable tempura (red flag). The salad was wilted and no attempt at consistent cutting, just huge thumb size chunks of cucumber, red onion etc. The sushi buttons which are absolutely advertised as vegetarian had a piece of fishy tasting tempura stuck to one of them (you could see meaty fibers stuck to it), so I can only suspect all deep fried meats and vegetables are fried in the same oil.

Always good with quick service. Drinks service can be a bit slow when busy

Cute little restaurant with a great selection of food and lovely decoration. It's always nice to see the Koi swimming around. The staff are kind and helpful and the food is always good.

This place was suggested for a first date and the recommendation was that good that we returned 1 year later on our anniversary. Delicious fried veggies and meat substitutes that I always want more of!

You know what I usually love it here I have been going to this place for 15+ years. We were sat in a booth and I feel we just were forgotten about. My wife had to go up and actually ask to order some desert as there was nobody around to take our order or get us another drink that we wanted . We only got starters and it was still nearly £60. I don't mind paying for good food at all but it was Luke warm and not amazing and as good as usual. I have come home feeling a little sick also. Really disappointed as honestly I usually love it here. Don't think I would go back after tonight and that's a real shame !

Not really sure this place is authentic. All the food we had was quite mediocre. Service was also very slow although each person seemed to be doing their best individually. Bathroom area could do with a clean also.

Very poor service. Food mediocre. Rushed service and many errors made by serving staff through out our dinner. Sadly this is not the standard that I experienced years ago.

Cute little restraunt in city centre, cheap and good food

We were greeted and sat down quickly by a friendly waitress but then didn't return to take our orders and kinda just forgot about us even though the restaurant was really quiet when we arrived and we were sat close to the main entrance. I was about to leave the table to ask if someone could take our orders before thankfully another waitress noticed us waiting and came over. She then had to scold the other waitress and tell her to start taking orders for other customers who were still waiting. A couple who arrived after us were waiting about 15 minutes, before they got up and left frustrated because no one came. I don't think they even noticed that they'd left. No one really seems to be actively looking to see if anyone needs anything, and were often just chatting at the bar. We ordered the same starter, but one was required to be gluten free which wasn't an issue at all, however when they arrived they didn't specify which one was gluten free so we were a bit anxious about that. The sake was great, but we got the bento boxes for the main which were kinda just okay, not worth how expensive they are in my opinion. I've been here a few times before and the food has been great but I left feeling a little bit disappointed this time.

Went in at lunchtime on a Sunday and got sat right next to the fish pod that stunk of fish as you can imagine and put me off my food. Thankfully the food was disgusting so the fishy smell didn’t matter in the end. Ordered chicken yaki udon and was saltier than the ocean and the chicken was rock solid. My partner ordered the rib bento box which was £15 for 4 chewy microwaved ribs that were inedible and some deep fried runner beans, the food came out 5 minutes after we ordered it so was not fresh in the slightest. Also paid £7 for 2 diet cokes! Absolutely abysmal food quality please avoid at all costs! The front of house staff were so lovely and this is no reflection on them as it’s not within their control. They seriously need to get a new chef and get rid of the fish pond in the middle of the restaurant or better yet just close down altogether:)

This used to be my favourite restaurant. We chose to celebrate a special occasion here. Sadly we’ve found the quality of food; drinks and service has declined recently. Our large starters were served with our main meals at the same time - odd. I asked staff to take the mains back to keep them warm - they returned cold. Felt very rushed, despite pre booking for a table for a 90minute slot. We left within 50 minutes, won’t be returning.

Lovely restaurant, fast service, and great food!

Amazing restaurant, such friendly and rapid service with amazing food selection to choose from. The decorations inside are also beautiful, especially enchanted by the koi pond inside!

It was okay buy not to the point that I will come back again.

Well, I've been to Little Tokyo many times, starting around 15 years ago, although this was my first return visit in about 3 years. I was surprised to see very little had changed. The exterior and interior are themed to enhance the Japanese experience, including an indoor pool with koi carp, and Japanese music playing in the background. Service was generally good, although the person that served us didn't seem very happy or engaged. The menu hadn't changed much and included some of our favorites from previous visits. The food was a little underwhelming. It just wasn't as good as we remembered. The flavours were good but the quality seems to have declined.
