The food here is great! The meat is so tender, the vegetables so fresh, and the rice is cooked perfectly every time! Service is always fast and friendly! Portions are large! We always sit on the patio with our dog. read more

We've tried several dishes. My husband really loves the hot and sour soup. The chicken hibachi was flavorful and full of veggies as I like it. read more

A fairly typical Japanese/Chinese restaurant. Decorations were fairly typical as well with paper lamps and Chinese prints on the wall. I've always wondered who sells these restaurants the menu board. They all look exactly the same with pictures of the plate above the register I will say, the food was very good and was served quickly. read more

My son loved his orange chicken and said he would order it again but take into consideration that he is only 4 and its sugar coated orange flavored chicken. I can not each chicken so I can't give an honest review of that dish. The shrimp however was overcook with soggy breading. This could be due to the fact that its curb side pickup and the shrimp steamed inside of the togo container until I got home. The shrimp had entirely to much breading and because it was soggy in some parts it was pretty hard to force down. The fried rice isn't actually fried its steamed with some soy sauce mixed in. It wasn't bad if you like steamed rice with veggies and shrimp. The shrimp in the rice was cooked perfectly. The coconut shrimp soup was more like a lemon grass soup with mushrooms green onions and exactly two shrimps. The shrimp was again overcooked and rubbery. The soup did have great flavor but was definitely not coconut and would have been better without the shrimp. They earned 1 star for the rice being tasty and another for the coconut sauce that was packaged separately from the fried shrimp. It was so good! I will definitely try this place again but I'll be requesting steamed shrimp instead of fried for the coconut sauce and I'll try a different soup. My kiddo was happy and I didn't have to cook so that's a win in my book. read more

Just like all the other outlet asian restaurant, food is good and always ready in 15-20 minutes.

Very surprising. Maybe the best hot and sour soup I have ever had and love their Szechuan pork.

I've been visiting Burnsville for over 20 years and last night was my first time trying this restaurant. I'm glad I avoided it for this long. I'm from Miami, so I'm not going to compare it to NY Chinese food but it was so far from what I've ever eaten I have nothing to compare it to. The food was terrible, had no flavor, and I'm worried I'm going to pay for this in more than one way. We had wonton soup, coconut soup, egg drop, hibachi chicken and shrimp pepper steak, honey garlic chicken, some egg rolls, and that's all I can recall. Nothing was good or memorable. The fried rice wasn't even fried. There's was no pork in the rice so that should give you an idea of what was like. Stay away. It was actually busy and I'm the locals love it but you could get more authentic Chinese from Ingles down the street. read more

As a vegetarian, this is one of my favorite places to eat in Burnsville! Love the tofu vegetables in garlic sauce, and you can't beat the price! I've never eaten in the dining room, but every time I've ordered to go my order has been correct and ready to pick up within 15 minutes. Much appreciated! read more

Pretty standard strip mall chinese food. Dining room has been closed since covid. Take out only. I continue to get takeout a couple times a month. It's fine but not spectacular by any means. Good service. Nice people. read more

The last two times I went. I payed for extra sauce keep in mind I payed extra and I didn't get any sauce not even the one thats "Supposed" to come with it and today I got the large teriyaki chicken with rice the large but I got the small with no rice when I called he offered me some rice with my next mean that I won't be having ever Be having I wish I could this zero stars read more

Worst fried rice I've ever had and nasty tasting seafood dishes. Would not eat here again if the food was free. Don't waste your money.

Located in a strip mall, Little Tokyo offers dine-in and carry-out. The menu is typical for Asian restaurants -- large and extensive offerings. Our best results have been with the hibachi offerings, but recent daily specials have proven to be good values. We've always had good, fresh items here, and for the most part they have been well done. I've yet to experience the too long held spring roll, the bane of many an Asian shop. Last week LT was offering scallion-chicken stir fry with rice and soup for $8. This proved so good that we ordered it twice during the week. Hot and sour soup was flavorful and full of veggies and tofu, and not overly thickened. Try the fried wonton -- a commercial prep but always freshly fried. The atmosphere is austere, but service is friendly and prompt. Highly recommended for lunch or dinner, 7 days. read more

I love this place, if you go around lunch time it's the best, I usually walk-in and order a to-go plate and while they're fixing my food I go next door and check out Rose's, it usually only takes 10-15 minutes for anything they cook and the staff is almost always smiling. They have the best orange chicken and my son loves the way they cook their broccoli. read more

Don't let the outside of the building fool you. Some of the best shrimp I have ever had!! Try this restaurant!! read more

You see 'Little Tokyo' and you think Japanese food, right? Wrong!!! A better name would have been 'Little Asia.' Oh they have a couple of token Japanese items on the menu that even my 10 year old grandson could make with a jar of special sauce from the grocery store. Cooked carrots with brown sugar is not even asian. This place could not compete with most store front, strip mall, asian carryout places. Then consider where it is located, an area where I am sure most don't go down to Asheville to dine. read more

We were passing through town on business and stopped here for dinner. My husband, the hot and sour soup snob, liked their's very much. It had a beef base which is his favorite. I had shrimp egg foo young and I liked it. Hubby had sesame chicken which he enjoyed. The fried rice was bland however even after adding lots of soy sauce. Overall we enjoyed our dinner. read more

We had a delicious meal last night. We love the shrimp egg rolls and we ordered house lo mein and shrimp chow mein and cashew chicken. Everything was spot on. My hubby likes the general Tso's chicken and honey chicken dishes but they raise his blood sugar. Nice family business. read more

Being devotees of Chinese food, we enjoy buffets for variety. But we do have our favorite sit down places. We liked, and will return to Little Tokyo. It's clean, the food is prepared well, the service was pleasant, and the ingredients were fresh. Sure, meals are always subjective. But overall, we were very satisfied. Prices seemed reasonable as well. read more

Better-than average Chinese and Japanese food. It maybe called "Little Tokyo," but like many Asian restaurants these days, they do a little of everything. For dishes that are supposed to be spicy (e.g. General Tso's chicken), you'll need to tell them extra spicy or it will be just sweet. The staff who take orders are VERY friendly and are the younger relatives (older teens) of the owners. Pork fried rice is great. Egg drop soup is good. They do a great job of packaging carry-out food. read more

Ordered egg drop soup, an egg roll and sweet & sour pork. Soup and roll were average, s & s pork was terrible. What I got was some tiny pork pieces in a very heavy batter that looked grey in color, (indicative of old oil and fried too cold), with a side of sweet & sour sauce. What I expected was nice size pork pieces covered with a sweet & sour sauce with perhaps some pineapple - NOT SO. I tried to separate the pork from the overwhelming batter, but useless. Got the runs in the middle of the night after eating at this restaurant. STAY AWAY IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH. read more

This is one of the worst places I have ever eaten. My first visit I thought I would try lo mein and it was made with spaghetti noodles that didn't serve as a good substitute at all. Everything else was greasy, so much so it was difficult to eat. I will not be back. read more

meh. Well it's the only Chinese food restaurant in town, so I guess I can say it's the best in town. I ordered: -chicken fried rice...not so great...had no egg and rice wasn't browned -fried wonton- this was ok but they can't really mess that up. -steamed dumplings- I liked them! -Tokyo Rolls - terrible! they're supposed to be tiny spring rolls...I'll just say Yuck, I took a bite and threw the rest out! I didn't overeat and now I find myself not feeling great 2 hours after eating. Also... as I was waiting for my food I heard a woman come in and complain that something she ordered was not good. Management only offered her 50% off the same dish. The woman told them they had just lost a customer....not the best way to treat customers. The décor is slightly bad and there is a gross dust filled ceiling fan when you first walk-in. I think the only reason they're still in business is that they are the only show in this one-horse town. read more

This is the best Asian place I've eaten at in this town... because it's the only one. I walk in and the place smells like day old sushi only to find a little Chinese lady sitting here eating a friggin boiled egg. All 3 foot 7 inches of her stood and told me to "sihhh wha eye leye". So I sat down and the waitress brings me a straw which still had the butt on it from the factory, I tried to bite it off so I could sip my sweet tea but it failed. Everything came on a plate you'd see in every single Asian grill in the country, those standard fuckjerry kinda plates. I recommend coming after lunch so the boiled egg smell dies down wafting from the little Asian ladies breath. Besides that, the food was a solid 6. 10/10 would try again. read more

I have lived in the Burnsville area for four years now. And it is a wonderful town with great people. However, it really offends me when people like Ron M. degrade small businesses such as Little Tokyo. From my multiple experiences at Little Tokyo I have NEVER EVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED! The service there is AWESOME and the owners are wonderful people. Also, if you look at other reviews you can tell that most people love Little Tokyo. Also when. I talked to the owners just the other day they said they have owned multiple restaurants but chose to have one in Burnsville because of the people and it was a great place to raise their children too. So before you decide against eating at Little Tokyo because of Ron M. Review please check other reviews on different sites before knocking out this as an option for dinner! read more

the food is great!! i only have one problem though... can you guys please pay attention to whats falling into the food??!! please!!! please and thank you!!! i would love to not bite into a staple again please. i could have swallowed it or severly hurt my gums. thanks. read more

Located in a strip mall, Little Tokyo offers dine-in and carry-out.The menu is an extensive Asian one. Not the best, or the cleanest.
