Little Jo-To: Reviews & Ratings
Lovely experience at Little Joto!! Food was delicious and great value for the money. Tender filet and fresh prawns for under 30. Our server, Rachel was very friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendation. Will definitely be back!
My family really enjoyed the intimate setting and authentic feel of the restaurant. The food was delicious as well. It was nice to know that the chef is from the original Jo-To japanese steak house by the Sarasota-Bradenton airport!
Little Joto restaurant is very welcoming, cosy & tastefully decorated with delicious Hibachi and variety of dishes. I order several small plates as the appetizer such as Eggs roll, Squids tempura, Fried Gyoza. I do love Beef Tataki, one of the best indeed. The meal has beautifully finished with Steak & Shrimps Hibachi which’s excellent well cooked just how I love both steak, shrimps & vegetables. The services is top notch as the owner and her team welcome us with smile and they seem to really love what they do.
Before the original Jotos closed, my family and I have been going there for 30 years and we really miss the food. We were excited to try Little Joto and we were not disappointed. The food was exactly what we were hoping for and everything was wonderful. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. We had a party of 8 and everyone had full belly's and a smile. We will definitely be going back.
We had a wonderful experience and will definitely return. The dinner portions were more than generous, the food was fresh and high quality, the staff was incredibly attentive and sincere about making sure the experience was good and customers were satisfied, and there were no long waits for any aspect of the meal being served (and that was with getting appetizers, dinner, and desserts). The sauces are all homemade. You could tell the presentation of the food was important to them. The prices were very reasonable, especially with the amount of food you receive. They were very welcoming to the whole family, and we will be repeat customers.
One of my favorite restaurants in Bradenton! Best hibachi in town! The staff is wonderful (especially Rachel!) and always attentive. They always remember my allergies even when I forget to remind them. Always a great time! :)
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!
I recently visited Little Jo-To, and it was an outstanding experience! The facilities were impeccably clean and beautifully designed, with an authentic Asian aesthetic that genuinely set the tone. The food was a delight—each dish was freshly prepared on the spot, and the homemade sauces added an extra layer of flavor that was unforgettable. The ambiance is warm and family-friendly, making it a perfect spot for a casual outing or a special occasion. The service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and eager to ensure every detail was perfect. Highly recommend this gem for anyone craving authentic Asian cuisine!
