Little Tokyo Restaurant

My family lives in ME, and I’m located in VA. Tonight my parents went to Little Tokyo for their anniversary, as it’s one of their favorite locations to eat out. I called before they arrived and spoke with the owner and let him know I would like to pay for their meal, but not to tell them. He was delighted to be a coconspirator! My parents had a lovely time, and my mom said my dad ate more than he had in months (pneumonia). I’ve not been here, but they love it, and my sister is married to an executive chef, and it’s their favorite sushi place as well! Please go and see these lovely people!

Right on Main street, with parking on the street as well as in some of the back lots, not a problem really. Brunswick is safe and well lit and the restaurant appeared clean. Our table was clean, no food on the seats or anything like that (pet peeve of mine). Festive and alive surroundings. Side Note: We visited Little Tokyo quite a while back and was completely disappointed in the drinks (little to no alcohol, tasted bad) and they charged us for food we didn't get. Unfortunately I didn't notice until I got home. I did complain and I will say that the manager was a stand up person. She told me to come back and try it again and to let her know when we arrive and she would ensure that our meal was free. You can't really ask for more than that, so I applaud them for that. We did return a couple of times, (but didn't ask for a free meal), and I will say that the food was served quickly and the bill was correct, so no complaints there, however the drinks were still terrible. We even ordered extra shots to put in the drinks but they just didn't mix them right, something was way off and we didn't enjoy them. The seafood soup is pretty good and at $7 it is worth it. It's different but good. We split some shrimp tempura, $10, and it was flaky and crunchy as was the chicken teriyaki, $18. We didn't try any of the sushi on any of our visits, but maybe the next time. Overall Little Tokyo is a fun and festive restaurant that has good food and a younger crowd, but still very friendly. Great service and good food.

Food was nice, the lunch bentos are especially good since they come with several sides. Only bad thing is that some lunch bentos are labeled vegan, but they come with a house salad, which is not vegan. You can order a vegan item and receive non-vegan food. Otherwise, nice place to eat. Just wish the food labeling was clearer. An item which comes with non-vegan sides should not be labeled as vegan. Instead, the vegan options should come with vegan sides. Perhaps an oil-based dressing instead of dairy-based on the salad.
