Very good small sushi restaurant. Very good value. Sushi rice done right. They also have Japanese beer, sake, and the non alcoholic marble drink popular in Japan. Will be coming back.

A lovely little hole in the wall sushi place. This has to be hands down some of the best sushi I've ever had! The rolls are massive, the fish is fresh, and everything tastes great! The service was also incredible. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

Honestly this has been the best sushi we have tried in the triangle. I’ve been living here for 25 years and any other sushi spot does not come close to this place. Also it has a very cozy atmosphere and the thing that I liked is the music which was playing Christian music. This place has these Japanese drinks and beer with also little snacks from Asia. At last, the owner is very attentive, nice, and welcoming. I will continue to come here for whenever I crave sushi. It is definitely worth the 50 min drive.

I have been ordering from here for two years and my last few orders had been subpar quality but nothing like today.

My sushi seemed questionable and slimy. One of my rolls I had to immediately throw away. When I opened its container it smelled rotten. Now the bit I did eat before getting to the smelly roll I am worried will make me sick.

Very disappointed with the quality of fish as of late. My order also took over an hour which is the longest I have ever waited.

This place is authentic. It feels like I'm sitting in a small sushi bar in Japan. It doesn't present the glamour of an upscale American restaurant but the sushi is honestly the better than any of them. The rice in the roll was better than anything I've had in the US and the fish tastes very fresh.

My husband and I went to eat here. I was disappointed as soon as I walked in over the signed accusing delivery drivers of stealing. After reading the many signs, we decided not to eat there. There are signs saying delivery drivers cannot use the bathroom because they steal items. I am not sure what is in your bathroom that is so valuable that folks need to steal. If yall don't trust delivery drivers, don't offer delivery. But, most importantly, don't put up such terrible signs accusing the folks that are making YOU money of stealing. It is so tacky, I could hardly believe it. I won't eat here again.

We decided to try something new in hopes of a good gluten free vegan dinner experience. And we weren't disappointed!

While this place definitely constitutes a whole in the wall in a strip mall, the service and food were both phenomenal. The prices weren't anything to sneeze at either!

We were the only ones in there when we arrived, so we got great service from our server. She went through the menu with us and let us know that 4 of the vegetarian rolls could be made gluten free and vegan. So we went with edamame as a starter and got the:

Avocado Roll
Cucumber Roll
Veggie Roll
Fried Tofu Roll (they took off the toppings from this one since they contained both gluten and eel sauce)

They had Kikkoman gluten free soy sauce for us to use also, we just had to ask.

And while their wine selection isn't vast, the bottle of Malbec we shared for $20 was actually pretty darn good.

By the time we were leaving, all of their tables were full and there were people waiting for a table. So obviously this place does good business with their great food, service and pricing. Overall, this is a place we would come back to again.

Ordered the okonomiyaki, little Tokyo roll, and beef bulgogi.
Okonomiyaki was alright, a little on the dry side.
I actually liked the little Tokyo roll taste wise, but I had a very hard piece of rice in one of my bites that hurt my teeth.
The beef bulgogi did not match the description on the menu. It was lacking 2 of the ingredients mentioned (cucumber and lettuce) and was mostly rice. When I noted it to the server, she said that the chef was Korean and that maybe the menu was wrong?? Either way I had this order refunded and would not come back.

Yum!! This was one of the best door dash I’ve ever had. I had the volcano sushi roll and creamy ginger shrimp bento and everything was really really good! I would have given five stars, but they did not give me the spicy mayo that I paid for. It’s very common for places to overlook small minor details that could potentially give them perfect service, but most places just don’t care. It’s a real simple check order/check bag procedure. No excuses. But other than that the food was excellent.

people were great. owner is great. atmosphere feels great. my only critique is with something the owner has no control over. i feel bad for the owner because i believe the location of the restaurant holds it back from getting the business it deserves. i recommend the udon soup very filling

I would give zero stars if I could. The owner was incredibly rude, telling me it was my fault I didn't like the watered-down, soggy, and cold food. The food was poorly made, and this place isn't special at all. You can find much better options anywhere else.

I’ve loved this place since it opened. Last year it went through new ownership/ management and has fallen behind. I am waiting now an hour for take out order. The hot food has been sitting waiting for the sushi for over 15 minutes which means my hot food will be cold by the time I get my full order.

Think it’s time to find a new favorite sushi place.

DO NOT EAT HERE!! I would give zero stars if it was an option. They discriminate against the autistic population. I ate there for lunch this week and the autistic person I was with spilled a bottle of soy sauce. Not only were we told that the autistic population she not be allowed out in public, but we were also told that they knew we would be a problem when they saw us walk in the door. They are now demanding money because they had to shut down the restaurant because it “smelled like soy sauce.” Not only did we go back and steam clean the floor where the sauce spilled, but also replaced paper that had been spilled on. Shame on you Sushi Little Tokyo restaurant.

Tuna roll, and Tuna Nagiri. Both were at room temp, which may be OK but the rolls and fish were very chewy. The nori was not wrapped/cut well and torn, making the roll fall apart.

The entire meal was rather unappealing and left a very poor mouth feel. The taste was bland. The wasabi needs work. It is too dry and does not mix well with soy. I'd like to see a upcharge for real Wasabi.

This was my favorite spot. I'll try again one more time for nostalgia sake.

I'm pretty new to eating sushi so I've only been here a handful of times, but I haven't been disappointed so far. I decided to try my hand at sashimi tonight and ordered the sashimi appetizer. It was quite good, with the (what I believe is, again I'm pretty new to this) yellowtail being the highlight to me. It is one of the more expensive appetizers, but I'd still recommend it if you don't mind the occasional splurge. In terms of sushi, I've found that I really like their eel so I usually get a dragon roll with eel nigiri.

Overall a very good place in my opinion. I don't really have the budget for more expensive sushi places, but I haven't felt the urge to shop around at different places after trying this place the first time.

I’ve never eaten at the restaurant but I always get Uber eats from there because their sushi rolls are so so good! Yesterday my Uber eats person must have picked up the wrong order because it wasn’t what I ordered when it was delivered. I was a bit disappointed but the roll I got was still pretty good.

Today, I re- ordered what I didn’t get the night before and I was so so surprised when the take out box had a little message apologizing for the night before aaand they included a fancy free beverage. That is amazing! First, that they remembered me and 2nd that they wrote on my take out box and included a fancy beverage. This is the kind of customer service that makes me want to come back. Mistakes happen, we are all human, but going above and beyond after that mistake .. speechless.. thank you so much! Y’all made my night

We came here for an impromptu date night after our reservations elsewhere fell through. And I am thrilled we did. The service was incredibly personable, fast, and our server was so kind. The food was incredible and the rolls were phenomenal. We ordered the onigiri and my wife was immediately taken back to having it during college.

My wife also has an Avocado allergy that can make sushi restaurants a bit risky. But the staff went out of their way to explain possible cross contamination. They were so careful and there was absolutely no allergic reaction.

We will absolutely be coming back and soon.

Don't let the run down exterior of this restaurant fool you. The food is delicious and sushi among the best I have had.

We enjoyed a buy one, get one sushi meal and chicken kat

The staff were kind and you could tell this is a family owned restaurant, really added a warmth to the experience

The sushi was layered perfectly, no flavors dominated. It was very fresh and the day after I am still daydreaming about the flavor of the sweet dragon roll. I can't recall the name of my other roll but it was a fried roll with a really nice warmth throughout

Our chicken katsu was mild, crunchy and easy on our stomachs, good portion for cost. My wife thought maybe a little too mild but i think I have her spoiled on my own curry spiced chicken katsu .

It was very yummy and I enjoyed the traditional sauce on it. Everything had a warm, gentle and home cooked vibe to it, like if you had a Japanese cousin and they invited you to dinner.

I will be back, thanks for the memorable meal :)

This place used to be the spot. We'd order there anytime, not a bad option to be had.

They changed ownership and we've tried several times since then. It was okay for a while, a bit hit and miss on order accuracy. Now, however, it's fallen off. In one order, the udon was overcooked, broth was way too salty, the sushi rice was hard and stale, and the fish was flavorless, across multiple rolls. They're still charging prices like they're the sushi spot to go to, bit quality has taken a massive nosedive.

Sucks, we patroned here for about 8 years consistently. Now it isn't worth even half of what it costs.

Had a great meal and time at sushi little Tokyo.

currently they allow indoor seating
when we walked in they informed us that the sushi is not available for ordering as they had a back log, and we were fine having other food so we sat down

we ordered some of the best takoyaki we ever had, udon ramen and katsu don

service was a bit slow, but they tried making up for that and offering us a generous portion of sake

definitely will come back for more.

edit..came back for more and got some sushi this time !! good food

Great sushi and bento boxes! I will say though that the server was pretty new and kind of rude to my mom. She asked her 2 separate times if my mom wanted soup, then purposely didn’t bring her any but brought everyone else bowls who didn’t even order soup. Maybe just a mistake, but seemed intentional considering it was after she kindly asked for a lunch menu and what the specials were, and the server seemed increasingly mad that she didn’t know the answers to our questions and had to go to the back to ask. When my mom mentioned it to the group quietly after the server left, the server came up and singled my mom out to ask her if anything was wrong with how she was serving her. My mom, being kind, said no of course not but it was really rude how the server went about saying it: confrontational. We were the only ones in the entire restaurant too. Thankfully I worked as a server and know what most people are like, but my group was never disrespectful to the server. I probably will do take out but not come to eat inside if I see her working again- just to avoid any more confrontation from her. The man behind the counter was very kind to us though and I appreciate that very much.
EDIT: I’m not mistaken in location since this is the same one I routed myself to and have the location saved. There was an old man behind your back counter that was nice. The young lady serving was new and not nice. Thank you!

No ela cart sashimi or Nigeria. Fish was very warm, soup was vey cold, supposed to be under new? Management??
Didnt seem like fresh "sushi quality" fish. The one eel that came with the hahaha Chefs choice, the eel is supposed to be hot. It was colder then my fish, "sashimi" was,
I ate half my platter and tossed the other half. Waste of 40 dollars for sure.
Little concerned hope I dont pay for this meal 2 or 3 times later this evening.
Wasabi was so hard and dry it didnt mix up in my soy sauce.
I personally wont go back.
The one of 2 people working there this evening...Friday night at that, she was really nice and very apologetic.

I will actively boycott this place if I could....so don't push me. Yes I only gave it a star, just so I could let good people know how they treat others. I, however, officially revoke my star, because I don't condone this type of behavior. In my place, everyone is a member of a fantastic team....food service to the public. Not just a select few of the population....EVERYONE!!!!

Went here on vacation to get some sushi and the service was absolutely despicable. First off the person taking my order was looking at their phone so much and not paying attention that I had to repeat my order 4 times. When I made a complain to the manager that it’s unprofessional to use a phone while working he said, “We’ll you’re getting your food anyway so what’s the problem.” On top of that, when I walked over to ask for the status of my order I saw the cook pick his nose and go back to making food! Which wasn’t even good and had a funny taste to it. I don’t know what type of business these people run but it’s not a good one at all. Do yourself a favor and take your hard earned money elsewhere. Such a horrible experience.

Cook came out of the kitchen berating a delivery driver, was completely unnecessary and was treating the driver as if they were less than human and beneath him... A cook, at a Japanese restaurant... Will never, ever return to this establishment.

We totally enjoyed the food but the service is the best we've had, anywhere, in many years. The serving size of the sushi rolls was very large, too. Small place, out of the way, very worth the time!

The best Sushi and service I have had, thus far, this is a quaint, family owned gem. Very comfortable and cozy with a generous wine pour for a most reasonable price. Superb vegan options, vegetable tempura and tofu teriyaki. Can’t wait to come back and try more things!

Sushi was good. Hibachi was ok actually poor for the price. Overcooked chicken and shrimp and a bit dry. The lady kept trying to deter us from staying saying it would be a hour to get food. It came out very fast and was still like warm. Go for sushi and pass on the rest. Nice enough and okey enough but not worth an extra visit.

I called to make an order @ 8:40PM. On google, they are listed to closed @10:00PM. I am ordering just for me & ME ONLY. I ordered california roll & kiss me roll. Lady on the phone said they close at 9:30 & it takes too long to make. Wasn’t aware it takes over an hour just to make sushi for ONE SINGLE PERSON. I proceeded to ask her if I just order the california roll, will that make a difference? She told me it would still take too long. Youre a place of a business, you shouldn’t be lying just so you don’t have to make someone food at the end of the day WHICH IS THE WHOLE DAMN PURPOSE OF YOUR BUSINESS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Very courteous staff. Pricing was fair, but the portions were huge and thats the best thing about the place.
The sauces were quite bad, the eel sauce was the only passable sauce.
The chicken is well seasoned, but a bit dry.

I placed an order from this restaurant for delivery through a service. They claimed to have received my order & be preparing it, but after pushing back my delivery time by over 30 minutes they cancelled my order claiming "too busy" to fill it. I then received a voicemail stating the restaurant gave my food to someone else & has no intention of even attempting to make it right.

I am in Raleigh for the weekend and was looking for some hibachi. I googled this place ordered two 15$ each plates.....only to be disappointed!! This is the most disgusting food I have ever ate!! The chicken tasted like it had chemicals on it. The service was great the lady was super nice, but the food was HORRIBLE!! (Typing while i order pizza 😢) I ate one bite spit it out and threw my plate away.

The rolls were ENORMOUS (Cary and Crunchy). I personally would've preferred bite size sections of rolls. The karaage was tasty. Everything tasted awesome, the rolls were just kind of overwhelmingly large.

We’ve ordered here a few times and the food prep is usually slow (45 min), but our most recent order took over 2 hours. Food quality is decent, but service and prep time is terrible. Will not be ordering here again.

**BEWARE** The prices on the online menu are different from the in store menu. I was charged for the in-store menu price of $15.95 for the Caribbean roll when the online price is $12.95. The Manager DID NOT HONOR ONLINE PRICE. Very dishonest policy and clearly a cheap establishment. **SEE PHOTO BELOW FOR OWNER RESPONSE TO SAME PROBLEM FROM DIFFERENT REVIEW**. Clearly does not care.... what a shame, scamming their customers.

Every time I called the wait time got longer. The wait time would be over an hour or more (generally hour and 15 minutes) before the food would be ready for a simple order. THEN, the last time I tried to go here the wait time was an hour and 20 minutes to go pick up my order. When I got there they had forgotten to write it down and make it. The lady said oh, we forgot. How about 20 minutes? No way, last time I will be going here. Very very poor customer service. Never got my sushi after waiting for nearly an hour and a half. Save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else. Don’t waste your time, the sushi is not good enough to be worth it.

Hubby and I happened upon this spot for our 6th anniversary and we absolutely love it. All the reviews are correct, this is a really nice! Hubby had sushi, California Roll; he said it was fresh and delicious. I loved everything (fried vegetable dumplin, Bulgari with rice, vegetables, egg roll, hibachi steak and shrimp). Meal came with salad and soup. Owner gave complimentary Saki. The establishment was very neat and clean. We practiced social distancing. The owner, also our server, was super sweet to our daughter as well. We are both fans of mom and pop type places. They are oftentimes better than huge chain restaurants. We highly recommend and would gladly return. Thank you for the awesome service.

This is hands down the best sushi restaurant in the Raleigh-Durham-Cary area. I came in last night with a large online order, it was ready quickly and the sushi was better than most upscale sushi restaurants. The sweet woman collecting the order chatted with us about the restaurant being there for 60 years, she's been there for 15, she's a huge reason why I love this place. It is located in a strip with a lot of great cuisine, but this is my new favorite spot in town. I won't buy sushi anywhere else. I'm telling everyone I know about Sushi Little Tokyo. Thank you for the great sushi and hospitality.
