RACIST TO HISPANICS My family and I visited this restaurant today. There was not a single customer. The woman at the counter saw us come in, and didn't even greet us and seemed annoyed. As we were ordering our food she was having an attitude, rushing us to order, and rolling her eyes. she just seemed very disgusted to be taking our order. We paid for our food, and sat down at the table. Shortly after that other clients ( Caucasian) came in to the restaurant, and I noticed the same woman at the counter actually greeted them, and provided them good service. When our food came out she literally threw out plates on the table and walked away, as she was walking away my husband asked for hot sauce, and she continued to walk away and said you need to pay for it. My husband went up to the counter to get and pay for the hot sauce, and once again the woman visibly annoyed threw the sauce on the counter. At that point I expressed my dissatisfaction, and told her I noticed the kind of service she gave us from the beginning compared to the other client's. At first I thought she was simply having a bad day which is still not an excuse, but it was pretty obvious she disliked us from the beginning, because not once was she rude to the other white customers. We told her we noticed she was discriminating us, we are paying customers and not asking for anything for free. We ended up taking our food home. Never going to that place again.

Horrible unsanitary not only speaking about the inside of the restaurant but food as well there was a cockroach in my food. Please go elsewhere dont even consider going to eat at this place. Gross. As always look at recent reviews when you go a restaurant. Times change.

The service was fine, but the food was awful! The teriyaki sauce that they used was super thick and goopy like aunt jemima syrup, and it didn't taste like the chicken was marinated in it at all, so it was just like eating unseasoned grilled chicken with syrup on top. We had to just throw the meal away. And the my stomach has been aching since I ate it last night. I hate to do this to a small business but this wasn't good at all

Food has always been great whenever I came to get things to-go for family. Though, sometimes, the service can be horrible—there’s always some sort of attitude and there’s no accommodations (like protein replacements that would be EASY). Atmosphere could use much work as there is no decorations; the decorations that are there look haphazardly placed.
Atmosphere is cold..temperature and ambience..music would help. More heat.There is no service and the female clerk is not friendly.BUT the food is good, not enough sushi dishes but the ones we had were good. We will come back, probably not for sushi.. egg rolls were great.

This is a good spot! Quick and friendly service! I looooove their fried rice! The only thing is sometimes it's hit or miss but I've had amazing fried rice more than I've had mediocre fried rice here!

The best part of the combination plate was the steamed rice with no sauce. Teriyaki was overly sweet and terrible texture.
The best fried rice I have ever had! Place could use some cleaning.

There has been a big change at Little Tokyo. It use to be one of my favorite places. The great flavor is gone. The vegetables had no seasoning. The shrimp on the stick was so hard my husband thought the shell was still on them. However, the beef teriyaki and chicken were ok. I am just disappointed.

This place is a hidden gem. Theres no lack of teriyaki shops across town but this place is a cut above the rest. The food is always hot and fresh and when ever i share with my coworkers/friends they beg me to tell them where i got my food from.

I am not sure what dish I usually get. I call it House Fried Rice. It has chicken, beef, and shrimp.My favorite, tho it could use a few more pieces if shrimp in each dish.
