Delicious authentic food, fast service, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and great prices.
We had such a lovely time there with amazing service and food! �
Great food, great prices (Lunch special) their sushi is delicious and their side salad with yum yum sauce! My favorite Japanese spot in East Auckland
First time here today before going to a nearby gym, I decided to have something to eat. Ordered the steamed gyoza, fried squid, and takoyaki. The gyoza was good, a bit average. The squid and takoyaki were nice. A bit pricey as I paid $28 for everything but overall I got really full lol. 🤭
Came here for a quick lunch and got the chicken katsu don for $9.90 as it was the lunch special. It was super tasty and very filling! Comes with miso soup and a salad so it's very good value. Will definitely come back here!
Ambiance was soo nicee! I loved the cherry tree decorations. The photos everywhere looked so nice! Sadly, when I went with a friend we didn't get to have one tho.
Pamela and I decided to try Little Tokyo for lunch. What a great choice, we had spicy pork fried rice and a soup dish FANTASTIC. The staff were great and the food very tasty. Can't wait to go there again this time for dinner. Well done
Pam and Tony
owner was super friendly !! The food was amazing, would come back here again, great customer service and the prices are good for what you get!!
Would recommend! Has a cute decor, excellent service and staff are very friendly. Worth the price. Miso soup and rice are also free, which is a bonus. This restaurant is great for eating alone and for eating with friends, as it's cute and a little tucked away from all the noise
This is the most adorable little Japanese restaurant ever! The atmosphere is is warm and friendly as the owners are so welcoming and had plenty of great suggestions for us to try, also the set up is aesthetically appealing with the walls and sealings covered with cherry blossoms & branchs with Polaroid snaps of many happy customers smiling back at you.
The food is affordable, tasty and perfect for sharing between two people, so I Would highly suggest this restaurant for date night! You won’t be disappointed:)
The place, the food, the staff, the aesthetics were all top-notch and amazing. This Japanese restaurant is instagram worthy. If your looking for a restaurant where the food looks good on camera, then this is the place for you. The ambience and atmosphere of the place is all top-notch. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, especially the tall, korean guy. The food were also amazing. It's a fusion flavours of Japanese and Korean, and the flavours blended super well with each other. One of the best Japanese restaurant in Auckland. I would for sure go back here with my friends and family.
----A MUST TO GO HERE!!!!--------
If you like cherry blossoms, the aesthetics of this charming place will make your heart swell! It feels like you're picnicking at Cornwall Park when it's cherry blossom season 🌸🌸 there's also a really cute wall filled with Polaroids of previous customers.
The teriyaki beef don was pretty good value, considering it came with heaps of rice, a side salad and a bowl of miso soup. For something named teriyaki beef don, I was expecting more beef and was kinda confused when my rice came out with a giant fried egg on top. It was really nice - pretty much a bit of teriyaki beef, and some lovely carrot and onion mixed in with a fried egg - but I thought I'd get, a fair bit more meat and some sticky teriyaki sauce.
The cool katsu set was a bit more expensive than the donburi, and not very filling. The way it was served looked very Japanese, and really captured the novelty dipping experience of tsukemen.
Delicious food. Affordable prices. Excellent service, and food comes out quickly so we don't have to wait too long. My favourite Japanese restaurant to go for dinner! Can't wait to show my friends and family this place.

Very good place to eat some lovely food. May be a bit on the pricey side but the portions are big and very good flavors Service was quick and the chef owner was friendly enough. Will go again and highly recommend this place if you want some authentic Japanese food. .
Great little Japanese spot. The times we have been it has been quiet. The food is fresh and not too expensive. Also cool is they have Polaroids hung up of past visitors, and if you ask them they'll take a picture of you!
I'm writing this review many years to late ... I first went to Little Tokyo in 2015 when a friend of mine invited me.I've been there many times since. The first thing that struck me was how well the space was designed . The Cherry Blossom tree with the photos made the experience unique. Richard and Sunny were great hosts, welcoming and friendly. The food is well priced and delicious. I had the KatsuCurry with a fee of the starters . They get really busy so it pays to call ahead if you'll are a big group. Our family recently(July end 2018) went to celebrate my sisters birthday, we called ahead and were even given complementary dessert when they realised there was a birthday in the family. If you like a limited menu Japanese Restaurant that is ambient and well liked out in East Auckland , this would be your spot! Thank you Richard and Sunny :)
We found this place by accident. Liked the cheery blossom tree decor with the instant photos which attract us into the restaurant.
The food was delicious and filling with friendly service and we'll definitely will be back again.
Extremely friendly service, atmosphere is nice. Food is great, pricing is okay, but the portion size is a little small for its pricing other than that great place
Friendly, fast service. Best Japanese food in East Auckland. Obviously a subjective view.
The food is really good here with very friendly service . Great table seating
Lovely food and polite service. Will definitely become a regular destination for us
