Description:
Little Tokyo is a long-running family-run Japanese restaurant tucked behind House of Fraser, serving sushi, bento boxes, teriyaki, tempura, ramen-style dishes and Japanese drinks in a cosy, character-filled setting. Expect blossom trees, traditional touches, koi fish and the strong possibility of saying “this place is actually lovely” before the food even lands.
Good for:
Japanese food, sushi, bento boxes, date nights, family meals, vegan options, gluten-free options, casual dinners, cosy lunches and anyone who likes their restaurant with a bit of charm, not just white walls and tiny plates.
Nearby:
Briggate, Victoria Quarter, Trinity Leeds, Leeds Corn Exchange, Kirkgate Market, The Calls, Headrow House.
Make a Day of It:
Start with a wander around Victoria Quarter or Briggate, then head to Little Tokyo for sushi, bento boxes and a proper sit-down meal. After that, you are nicely placed for drinks around The Headrow, The Calls or Call Lane, depending on whether dinner has behaved itself or started making plans.
The Tidy Take:
Little Tokyo is one of Leeds’ proper old-school favourites. Cosy, quirky and full of character, it brings a little slice of Japan to Central Road without feeling polished to death. Great for dates, family meals, casual catch-ups and anyone who wants sushi with a side of personality.
