I have been eating any here since high school roughly 12 years ago. The yakisoba with beef is amazing. Their house made sauce and dressing for the salad is spectacular.

Excellent place. When you come in just place your order at the front. Then have a seat and they will come serve you. Pay at the front. The sushi is also good too. Restaurant has a friendly atmosphere with lots of parking.

Little Tokyo is my favourite place to get Sushi! I highly recommend the rainbow rolls and spicy tuna rolls The place has been around for a decade and in my opinion the portions are very generous and filling for the prices, and in my opinion the best value is the rainbow rolls.

Wanted a quick lunch so I tried the menu. Had dumplings, sushi and a yakisoba dish. I found the dumplings very average with taste and texture. Sushi was good, they used the cucumber chunk rather than sliced. I found the rice not the best quality. The chicken and noodle dish was okay, the sauce just wasn't for me. Overall a good lunch but I'll look elsewhere plenty of options around. Also the restaurant was a bit dull and cold, heater wasn't working so the wood chairs felt extra woody!

Got the Spicy Beef Yakisoba, my go-to, and brought my boys to try it. I loved it as usual and always come here for a fantastic meal. Great atmosphere + service!!!

Little Tokyo is a staple restaurant in Oakville that has been there for over 20 years! I have been going here over the years and finally decided to leave a review. They serve consistently good quality home cooked Korean meals. Last time I went in, I noticed the restaurant was renovated and offers nice in restaurant seating. Meals take around 20 min to prepare, you can call ahead for takeout. The employees are always nice. I got the chicken teriyaki and bulgogi. My fam got the bibimbop and sushi (a newer offer). Meals are served hot and will not disappoint!

The longstanding reputation that Little Tokyo has within Oakville is a testament to its food (which is absolutely delicious). It's been there for as long as I remember, and I always stop by whenever I'm back in town. It's truly a gem, and a place to get deliciously comforting Japanese/Korean food from friendly staff. The location is unassuming and nestled within a small plaza, but your visit will be well worth it! They've perfected the simple fried dumpling to an art. Make no mistake; I'm not one to exaggerate or give false praise. But as a Korean who's lived a lifetime of trying different dumplings from places, I can confidently say that their friend dumplings/gyozas are something to be tried. And if you think the simple dumpling is good, wait until you try the actual food! Highly recommend to anyone who's in Oakville or who has the opportunity of passing by.
