As someone who has owned a restaurant in the St Regis Hotel, I understand how difficult it is to…read moreconsistently deliver great food and service. That's why I don't give praise lightly -- but Namo Izakaya Ramen & Yakitori in Sarasota absolutely deserves it. My wife, son, and daughter and I dine here twice a week, and we have never had a bad dish. The yakitori is outstanding -- perfectly cooked, flavorful, and consistently executed. The sushi is always incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with care and precision. The ramen is the best we've ever had What truly sets this place apart, though, is the personal touch. The owner and chef treat us like family every time we walk through the door. That level of hospitality, combined with the quality coming out of the kitchen, is rare. In this business, consistency is everything -- and Namo delivers it every single time. We feel fortunate to have this gem in Sarasota and recommend it without hesitation.

The tiles and wood paneling were smooth as can be, great! The bathrooms were special. The walls had black and dark grey tilling with a red skip every other skip.

This little gem is owned and run by the former head chef of the original Jo-To's. If you're looking for some good food and good hospitality from a family owned business, look no further! Brief Summary: Little Jo To is a small, hole in the wall, family owned restaurant that is owned and operated by the former head chef of the original Jo-To's restaurant by the airport. They have various types of Japanese cuisine available. All of which will leave you with a smile on your face! They may have dropped the cooking in front of you part of the dining experience, but man oh man is the food still worth it! If you miss the old Jo-To's, come check out the new one! Would I Recommend This Restaurant? Absolutely! Without any hesitation! The Food: They offer an array of Japanese delights. Everything from Teriyaki, to hibachi, to your favorite types of tempura. The food has all of the delicious flavors of the original restaurant thanks to the masterful cooking of chef Van! The soup, the salad, the fried Oreos, it's all incredible! They have my most favorite clear soup and hibachi of any Japanese restaurant that I've ever been to. It's truly difficult to find anything on the menu that isn't worth putting a dent in your bank account for! All in all, I promise you, you won't be disappointed with the deliciousness that they serve here! Value: The portions here are VERY generous! In an era where portions are getting smaller, and prices are getting larger, it's a major relief to see someone offering good value for your money! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I almost feel like they could charge more and I'd still feel like it was great value. THAT'S how good the value is in my personal opinion! Service and Staff: The front of the house is run by chef Van's wife. She is AS SWEET as they come! Just a truly incredible family. I actually remember her from when I was a kid and I went to the original Jo-To's restaurant. When I was about 6, I wasn't feeling good, and she brought me a ginger ale to help settle my stomach. It was something I never forgot! She still has the same sweet personality, and the service they offer here follows her example! Location and Interior: The location is on a major road. There is ample parking as well which is always a plus. The interior though is BEAUTIFUL! It gives me true Japanese vibes in there. With the little lanterns hanging from the ceiling, it made me feel like they brought a little piece of Japan here to the states! Final Thoughts: Chef Van still remembers me from when my Mom would bring me in when I was a baby. We're talking some 28 years ago. He never forgot my mother or I, and he has always been such a hard working genuine person. Him and his wife have a truly beautiful family and a truly beautiful restaurant. They, and their food, are worth giving a chance. Come out and support this gem of a hole in the wall restaurant! P.S. I very rarely give a perfect 25/25, but this one is well deserved! Final Scores: Food - 10/10 Value - 5/5 Service/Staff - 5/5 Location/Interior - 5/5 Total 25/25 = 5 Stars Stay fresh Mother Fooders! :p
