Little Tokyo Restaurant: Your Go-To Spot for Authentic Japanese Cuisine in Pittsburgh

My first time at this restaurant was tonight. My server Hallie was very pleasant and attentive and I would gladly have her again on a return visit. The salad and chicken dumplings were very good, as was the Udon soup with egg and shrimp. The hibachi steak, shrimp and chicken were excellent, with superb seasoning that will have me back within a week.

Giving this place a 4 out of 5 stars because the service could have been better. I honestly think it was just my server who kinda sucked. Everyone else seemed great. I dined in by myself and was sat at the sushi bar which was nice but also a bit annoying cause all the servers would hover over me to get the food. But the sushi was great. I got a spicy tuna roll and the discovery roll.

Great food and service! Will definitely be coming back. Photos and menu we're takin on 4-18-25.

A very nice Japanese restaurant for a quick lunch or a long dinner. The ginger(?) sauce on the salad was rather salty, but that’s a small price for the quality of the meat dishes. The waitresses are sweet, and the chefs cook the food right at the bar. You also get a towel wipe with some bleach (nothing harmful) before your meal. Good atmosphere. Good service, but didn’t try the sushi.

Excellent sushi paired with wonderful service. We truly enjoyed our experience and will certainly return next time we’re in the area.

Little Tokyo Restaurant is in Mt. Lebanon near Pittsburgh, PA. LTR has hibachi, udon and Ramen bowls, sushi and other options. The food was great as was the service. We had steak and shrimp hibachi, yummy roll (shrimp tempura inside with crab), udon bowl and a spicy tuna hand roll. The only complaint is how loud it was inside. At times it was difficult to hear the conversation at our own table. I would return if I'm in the area again.

Such a great neighborhood gem. Always busy, always good. Went there to celebrate my birthday with the family. We enjoyed everything!! Saki martinis are fabulous and the best, freshest, beautiful & tasty sushi around. Our waitress was kind and nice and overall did a great job. It was super busy (Sunday night) so the service was a tad bit slow; but nothing to keep us from returning.

This is my favorite go-to sushi restaurant—hands down. Both locations are amazing, and I’m fully convinced they can’t be beat. I’ve never had better sushi anywhere I’ve lived or traveled, and to top it off, the customer service is just as outstanding as the food. All the rolls are consistently excellent, but the Anniversary Roll and black marlin are my personal favorites. You have to try the salad—the dressing is famously delicious. The osuimono soup is actually my favorite soup of all time. The broth is so clean, yet somehow packed with flavor—I don’t know how they do it. The shrimp balls are another must-try. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The food is clearly made with love, and even when it’s busy (which it often is), the service is always top-notch. Little Tokyo is simply the best.
