Where Albemarle comes to eat
Little Tokyo brought something entirely new to Stanly County — Japanese hibachi and sushi, made with care, in a town that made it their own.
Little Tokyo | Our Story
Something Albemarle had never seen
When Little Tokyo opened along US-52, Stanly County had almost no Japanese dining options. The community showed up — and kept showing up.
The hibachi grill
Every plate starts on a searingly hot grill — chicken, steak, or shrimp — finished with fried rice, sweet carrots, and our signature shrimp sauce.
Rolls with local names
The Albemarle Roll, the 704, the Super Crunch — our sushi chefs built these signatures right here and will walk you through every one.
One location became two
The original US-52 spot earned such a loyal following that a second location on Leonard Avenue was inevitable. Over 1,700 combined ratings tell the story.
Still going at midnight
When every other kitchen in Stanly County has gone dark, we're still serving — open until 2AM on Fridays and Saturdays, with wings, bar bites, and a live lounge.
