🇯🇵 A Legacy of Flavor Since 1986

Little Tokyo first opened its doors in 1986 at 1521 N. Causeway Blvd, founded by Yusuke Kawahara with a mission to bring the flavors of Japan to Louisiana. What began as a single location has since become a beloved local chain and a pioneer in the region’s Japanese culinary scene. For nearly four decades, Little Tokyo has remained a trusted name for authentic Japanese dining, welcoming generations of families, friends, and travelers.
