Editorial Review for Little Tokyo – by Sam Edelmann

The Scene
Light and airy, this is a rather large sushi bar and Japanese restaurant. The place exudes spotless cleanliness, with white everywhere and light green countertops. There is a large bar area as you enter, with a pleasant sushi bar and tables in the dining room. Service is very friendly, and exceptionally fast.

The Food
The sushi and sashimi are amazingly fresh. The California and salmon rolls here are light and fresh while the sushi/sashimi combo platter, with a dozen pieces of each, is an excellent way to try a range of fish. Most dishes come with miso soup or a house salad with a strong ginger dressing. Gyoza (fried spicy chicken dumplings) are excellent, as are the shumai (boiled shrimp dumplings). There are grilled hibachi meats and seafood, as well as teriyakis, both chicken and beef. Another outstanding dish is yakisoba (stir-fried noodles with chicken and vegetables).

If You're a Fan

For those afficionados of Wakame salad (green seaweed), it is wonderful here.

Hands down the best sushi restaurant in town. Wonderful atmosphere and food. The owner, Frank, will make you feel like you're the most important customer that has walked through the door.

Pros: Service, large portions, atmosphere, fair price

Cons: Too hard to get a seat on weekends

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

We've tried almost all the sushi restaurants in Pittsburgh and Little Tokyo is by far the best! It may not have the diverse selection that some of the trendier places have, but the fish is extremely fresh and reasonably priced. The service and atmosphere are also very traditional, the waitresses don't speak alot of English but wait on your every need. Our only complaint is that sometimes the service is too quick and we're not done with our appetizers when the sushi arrives. If you're looking for good sushi, Little Tokyo is the place to go!

Pros: Fresh fish

Cons: Ambience
