Six of us dined in and everyone was pleased with their meal. The food was great, the service was very good, and the staff were pleasant. The regular portions were hearty and the light portions were more than filling. Prices were very reasonable. There is plenty of parking. Highly recommend Little Ari’s.

The food was pretty good. I ordered the ramen in the pork bone broth with wavy noodles and teriyaki chicken with fried rice, it was good. The chicken was kind of chewy but everything had a really good flavor to it. Very busy restaurant but pretty fast paced when getting your food out.

Dont eat there! I am allergic to onions. I dont want onions in my food and they're gonna make me get zucchini. Because I dont want onion, I have pay for double zucchini for a dollar. I don't eat zucchini, I had to get it if I dont want onions. That dont make sense.

Really was looking forward to dinning at this restaurant.I'm Asian and was excited for its location.Well it wasn't what I was hoping for but it's there.VERY disappointed, in both dinners.Ordered Salmon, chicken Katus & soup.Chicken VERY Overdone rice warn, soup Blane.Seen others with their dinners.One man has bits & pieces of salmon ???not a whole piece ??? the ladies shrimp looked like rubber pieces.Young ladies working behind the counter are very nice and professional, truly wanting to do a good job.Manager, stay off your phone while in the dinning room & check on your customers, while they dine in your restaurant.Good luck.

Sadly, some of the worst "Japanese" food Ive ever had.The fried rice was dry, hard and lacking in flavor. The only vegetables they offer are onions and zucchini?! I see that other reviewers had Broccoli but I suppose that has gotten too expensive to serve.. The salmon tasted alright but was overcooked and literally 1/4 of an inch thick.The Gyoza were the best part of the meal. Place looked like it belonged in the corner of a Walmart. Definitely won't be eating here again.

Food was great. I got the hibachi steak, medium rare. They actually cooked it medium rare unlike some other hibachi style restaurants. Side of dessert bread was also good. Clean and new building. Staff was nice. Highly recommend.

Great experience. 11 out of 10. I had the beef curry and it was actually a real Japanese curry. Not very spicy, but packed a lot of flavor.

Terrible first time coming here. Food was mediocre and service was appalling. Waited 30 minutes to order just to be skipped and they serviced other people before the first people waiting. Food took an additional 20minutes to come out. Was not worth the wait. Go next door to literally any other restaurant.

Great, quick option for my favorite Japanese steakhouse in town. Love that they have mostly same options and great prices for options like hibachi vegetables (8.95!). Comfortable space, really happy they are there!

Been passing by this restaurant for a while now and finally decided to give it a try yesterday for lunch. Was greeted by a very kind younger gentleman at the counter. I told him I had never eaten there before and he was very understanding and helped me navigate through the menu patiently. I decided to order the beef curry with steam rice, one shrimp katsu onigiri, and one bbq pork dumpling and a fountain drink. My total was just under $20. I thought that was pretty good for how much I ordered. He handed me a buzzer and I found a table and waited. I was waiting for my buzzer to go off when the gentleman actually came to my table and served the bbq pork bun. I was surprised and asked if I didn't hear my buzzer go off to pick up my food at their counter, he said no it's ok and that he just brought it over. A few minutes later he and another employee came to my table and served my curry and my onigiri and again I asked if I should have walked up to the counter to pick up the food and they both were very kind and said it was ok and they were happy to bring it over so I thanked them graciously. So I may not be the best judge of food BUT I thought the beef curry was delicious, it was a generous portion of curry and rice. I almost finished the whole plate. The onigiri was a very nice size with a whole shrimp katsu so creatively tucked in that triangular shaped rice wrapped in nori. The bbq pork steam bun was also yummy and the size was about a handful shaped. Everything was delicious. The restaurant was very clean and the employees were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be back with my family especially since they also serve ramen among other dishes.
