Best sushi and fabulous service!! Went here when family came to town because the reviews were great and it didn't disappoint. We HAD to go back the next weekend because we just couldn't stay away. Highly recommend!! read more

When I got there, I thought it was going to be an hour wait. They said 15 minutes and I thought no way, but it was truly 10-15 minutes before we were seated. Our server was friendly and asked general questions while giving us ample time to look make decisions without feeling rushed. We ordered a dragon roll and a rainbow roll. We also both got chicken hibachi, which ended up being to go! I love their ginger salad and my friend tried the mochie matcha ice cream. It was fairly loud but it's easily blocked out, but be prepared for your conversations to be eavesdropped on or judged by other diners. The staff in total was friendly and attentive and it's by far one of my favorite sushi/hibachi places in Pittsburgh! read more

Located near my hotel, I needed some sushi. Friendly, locally owned restaurant with great service. Lots of seating, the restaurants was warm on a cold night and although busy it wasn't very loud. Started with some oolong tea and edamame followed by three rolls which was way more than I could eat but I wanted the variety. The eel was tender and flavorful but the star was the first date roll which was covered in spicy tuna. The Philly roll was good but I probably didn't need it but sometimes you just want the taste. The wasabi was not a hot as I expected. I used much larger portions to get the expected result. Nothing like a good sinus burn. Otherwise everything was great. The staff kept close tabs on what I needed and how things were tasting without being obnoxious. Highly recommend. read more

Food was good, little pricey but good. Service was ok. Nice inside. Main complaint is server came back demanding more tip. Even though 15% was given on a high total bill. Won't be coming back. read more

This place was totally jammed on a Thursday night. We had a party of 12 and the service was terrific. We had to wait a bit longer for our sushi orders but everything came out perfectly. It's very loud, especially if you're seated near the back kitchen area. They restock plates right next to your table on the other side of the wall. We ordered three rolls and some tuna and salmon sashimi. Everything was really fabulous. read more

When my friends and I got there, it was completely packed! Luckily, a bunch of people got up and left so the restaurant was quieter and more pleasant Aunt afterwards. I got the veggie Ramen, with the miso soup starter. The miso soup was so strong and delicious! It's the best me so I've had in a long time. My friend Amy got the grilled chicken with teriyaki sauce. She and Brian split an order of fried rice. Brian got a couple of appetizers. Our server was really helpful and nice. I enjoyed our time there. read more

We come here every year for the sushi, and in our opinion it's some of the freshest in the city. The only drawback is that the don't take reservations and don't have a waiting area, so most people wait outside. Something to consider when the weather is bad. read more

Little Tokyo is my go-to sushi spot in Pittsburgh - it has a nice variety of rolls, is consistently good, and has super friendly staff! My favorite roll is the Discovery Roll, though the First Date roll is also a crowd-pleasure. First though, I have to start off with their house salad - there's just something about that delicious ginger dressing over iceberg lettuce that really hits the spot! Though I always get sushi when I'm there, I do appreciate that they have a lot of good non-sushi options on their menu too in case you have a non-sushi fan who wants to dine with you (like my mom, who loves their non-sushi fare) Overall, it's a solid spot that I highly recommend to anybody in the area with a sushi or Japanese craving! read more

Excellent dining, food and service. They been a staple here for a long time for very good reasons! Definitely try this place. It's worth every penny! read more

After hearing rave reviews I finally had a chance to try the sushi at Little Tokyo. We got lucky and snagged the last two seats at the sushi bar. The fish in the case looked very fresh and tasty, and it was fun getting a firsthand view of the chefs whipping up beautiful sushi rolls. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice. They have several specialty rolls to choose from which was honestly a hard choice, they all sounded amazing. I ended up going with the first date roll, which had shrimp tempura and spicy tuna. I also ordered an avocado roll which was simple but delicious. This was definitely some of the best sushi I've had in Pittsburgh. My boyfriend ordered a hibachi meal with steak and chicken. He said it was excellent. Our server was very sweet and service was fast. I'm looking forward to dining here again. read more

Little Tokyo was an unexpected find. We were passing by and randomly decided to drop in for dinner because it looked interesting. The restaurant gives me the vibe of casual sushi place from the last century (in a good way). Service was super friendly and fast. The food was great value for the price. So much cheaper than the same level of sushi in Pittsburgh. I felt that this was what gave me the biggest impression. Out of the salmon, spicy tuna, and eel roll, i thought the eel was the best. The shrimp tempura smelled so good because we were sitting at the bar and could see them making it, so decided to add it at the end of the meal. Did not disappoint! My only complaint is the dipping sauce was a bit bland. They also had an affordable sake menu. read more

Had not visited in about 9 years and now so glad I am back!!! The sushi is AMAZING! Willing to wait when it's busy. No reservations. They also have hibachi and ramen options.

Great saki, wide sushi selection, fantastic udon, and kind service!! A hidden Japanese gem.

Stoped by for a quick lunch. I ordered the First Date Roll. The shrimp tempura in the roll was still warm nice touch. The spicy tuna had just right amount of spice and tasted great. Service was great not too busy for a Thursday lunch sat right down and was able to order my lunch. Nice restaurant out of my normal area of North Hills but will definitely bring my family for dinner. Heads up no lunch specials so regular price for lunch/dinner. read more

I recently went here last night with my girlfriend and her family. we were visiting from Florida to see her family. we ordered our sushi and food and made sure multiple times that the waitress KNEW that my girlfriend had a severe and deathly shellfish allergy. then when the food came again, the we asked the waitress again and she confirmed and guaranteed that this plate had no shellfish in or near it. after taking a bite out of one of the rolls we found crab to be in it, which could have been ok maybe it was imitation crab and not soaked in crab juice. so the waitress then went to the back grabbed the package was bringing it back to us when she got taken away by another employee to the back. when she finally did emerge from the back kitchen, she came over and said oh I'm sorry there is crab in that roll and it's REAL crab, which is great, but not when you are deathly allergic to shellfish!!! Then we asked for our check so that we could get out of there and she left for another few minutes and came back with a benadryl. which is great but not when we needed an epi pen and to just leave. when we tried to speak to manager in between of her trying to get our bill they simply said, oh are you going to be ok? and we said probably not but they didn't seem to care at all! then they charged us for everything eventhough we barely touched our food as it had happened almost as soon as we finally got the food. that was our last night there and it ruined the whole night and not too mention my girlfriend was throwing up all night and had to use epi pen and those aren't cheap either. so naturally we called after the fact to try and get a refund and all we could get was they would refund us for the one roll that had the crab in it!! I just think this is ridiculous! horribly handled! I have worked in the restaurant industry for twenty years and have never seen any situation remotely near this handled so horribly! I really hope you never go to this place or support a place that would put people's lives In danger and seem to not even care about it! do the right thing and do not go to this place and give them your business!!! they do not deserve it at least until they can figure out how to be decent human beings!! read more

I absolutely adore Little Tokyo Bistro in the Southside, so I was excited to finally check out Little Tokyo this weekend. I ordered 2 sushi rolls and chicken gyoza's to-go, and my order was ready quickly (about 15-20 minutes). I went with the cucumber roll, avocado roll, and the shrimp tempura roll. They were all so fresh and so delicious. The chicken gyozas were also delicious! I will be back and look forward to dining in next time. It's a beautiful restaurant and has the same cozy vibe that Little Tokyo Bistro does, except this location is a bit bigger than Southside's! read more

Honestly some of the best sushi I've had in the city. You can't argue with the quality of sushi they offer and you can tell they really care about what they serve. I could eat her once a week and not get sick of it! read more

I've been wanting to come here forever after having driven by it a billion times and having several friends say how good it is. They weren't kidding, I had a great lunch here today. I couldn't find photos of the menu with descriptions online, so I made sure to take some. I hope these are helpful to someone! I ordered the takosu octopus salad, the Rock and Roll roll, and a tuna and avocado roll. Everything was really tasty. A little pricey, but it's sushi and I was treating myself. The wasabi was super strong so be careful with how much you use! The waitress was very sweet and attentive. She brought me a warm towel when I came in. For those of you as ignorant as I was before looking it up, it's to wipe your hands with, but not your face. It was a really nice touch! I'm looking forward to going back! read more

I have been coming here since the late 1990s and while the inside could use a facelift, the food and service are absolutely wonderful. The restaurant is also always extremely clean. My favorite roll is the Spider roll but you can't go wrong with any of the fresh sushi options. read more

What a fabulous place in the mean streets of Mt. Lebo hidden amongst the various shopping district stores & restaurants. The hibachi chef is visible from your seat and the smells are fantastic as is the food. The calamari appetizer was delicious hidden in sautéed red peppers. The sushi is so fresh and tickles your taste buds to full tastes. The hibachi chicken & shrimp was perfect as was the filet. Then to finish off with a giant fried ice cream that they give a huge knife to cut it with. read more

Little Tokyo is the spot for sushi in the South Hills! It looks quite small from the outside, but they actually have two rooms of seating once you walk in. We were seated promptly in the side room, where we got to watch numerous chefs create their sushi masterpieces right next to us! The restaurant was fairly crowded, but we received our food very quickly, and the server was very friendly. We love sushi, and Little Tokyo had some of the best sushi we've ever had! Their sushi menu is extensive and ranges from basic rolls to more elaborate fancy ones. The entire time we were there, they were busy bagging takeout orders, too, so that just shows the popularity and quality of their food. read more

Little Tokyo is a solid Japanese spot in a trendy area of Pittsburgh. People definitely love it here as it was packed with people and they had tons of carry out orders. My aunt and uncle raved about it, so 4 of us came in on a Friday to have dinner. I got the yakimeshi which was very tasty (like a Thai fried rice with shrimp) and not greasy. We also got the shrimp dumplings which were also tasty! The only thing I didn't care for was the dressing on the salad. I've had Japanese food and specifically this same salad with similar dressing before but something about their dressing was different. It was almost bitter, like too much vinegar. It kind of ruined it for me. My husband got the yakiniku which he really liked. Apparently they have really tasty sushi too, but that'll be next time! read more

Food and service is excellent! Udon and ramen bowls are all fantastic! I love The First Date sushi roll as well. It's a favorite. Very consistent and reliable dining experience! read more

The food is great and it's a cute little place but the service is trash. Irene thinks it's appropriate to hit on other ppls girlfriends at the table during service. Just cause we are nice to the help doesn't mean they should get too comfortable. The old man owner just leers at you and never says hello or asks how you are or anything. As a business owner you would think he'd make an effort. Bizarre. If I return here it'll be to go. No thanks. read more

Yucky, yuck, yuck. The first time I came here, was better than my experience yesterday. The sushi here is good, there is no doubt about that. However, everything else is very dry, bland, and lacks flavor. The salmon we had last night was some of the worst I have ever had. Extremely fishy taste, and hard to chew because it was so dry. read more
