Reviews
"Our initial visit to Little Jo-To's proved to be an exceptional experience. The service we received was nothing short of impeccable - prompt, efficient, and courteous. We began our meal with the delectable egg rolls and vegetable tempura, both of which were prepared with utmost finesse. The main course, a perfectly cooked filet, left us completely satisfied and craving for more. It is without hesitation that we highly recommend Little Jo-To!"
"Happy and sad at the same time.. my wife and I were 18 the first time we went to the old Jotos in 1988. We had spent almost every birthday and our kids birthdays there.. This place was amazingly special to us!!. I guess we expected that scene vs the new vibe.. we figured they would have some of the old tables and be cooking in front of us making the big fire and maybe a volcano that everyone loved to see. This is not like that at all.. This place is small and that is fine.. it’s called little jotos for a reason.. when we walked in there are 16 tables and none of them were hibachi.. Where are all the chefs making fire and memories?. The food was amazing and tasted just like old times.. it is hands down the best Japanese food you will ever eat.. and still is!.. Thanks to our favorite chef who carried on.. thank you for giving us some of the old jotos back! Maybe somewhere down the road you can open up a bigger location with hibachi like the old jotos… PS… a full alcohol bar doesn’t hurt either. Missing our flaming fujyama..lol"
"Enjoyed a great first night at this new neighborhood restaurant from the chef at the original Jo-To. The food was fresh, hot, cooked perfectly and it was all delicious! Egg roll appetizer was crisp and yummy, hibachi entrees w Miso soup, salad, and shrimp appetizer were all incredible. The service was prompt and very friendly. The restaurant makeover is amazing and the space is beautiful! We will definitely be back for more and often!"
"As a long-time patron of Jo-To's, I can say it's almost like they never closed. With the exception of the 9 month wait, all the beloved characteristics are still there. Sure the show is gone, but you get to sit with the party you came with, the portions are much larger, and it is MUCH colder inside (since there isnt a grill in your face) We got shrimp shumai for our appetizer. We both ordered double filet and shrimp with extra vegetables! (Yes, you can technically still get a triple even though it isnt on the menu) All in all, everything was delicious! I will continue to make Jo-To's (Little Jo-To's now) a permanent staple of my monthly dining plans."
"Absolutely fantastic experience! The food is authentically delicious and service is great. Loved the egg rolls! The curry and hibachi were awesome."
