Great! Can't wait to try the sushi.

For other sushi lovers, try the China Palace (yes, the China Palace) in Sewickley. Very fresh, large pieces and intersting combinations.

 I'd also like to add a very enthusiastic "thumbs up" to
 Little Tokyo.  The staff was very pleasant, the food
 was excellent and the prices weren't unreasonable.

 It's located near The Saloon on Washington Rd., where
 the Papa J's used to be.

 I've eaten in the Japanese place in Market Sq. and
 the one in Station Sq., and Little Tokyo is better
 than both of them.

 The menu, while not huge, has a good variety of
 sushi, noodle dishes, tempura and grilled
 dinners.  The lunch prices (apparently served
 every day) are very reasonable.

 While they have many of the Japanese-steak house
 dishes, the food is grilled in the back of the
 restaurant.  However, they have a closed-circuit
 camera on the grill area, and a huge TV set over the
 sushi bar, so you can watch your dinner be prepared
 if you want to.

 We tried Little Tokyo on Saturday night and were impressed with the
 cleanliness, the service and the food. We sat at the sushi bar and
 started with the Gyozo appetizer which was great, we then feasted on 4
 or 5 different types of sushi and was treated by the owner to the
 calamari appetizer which was out of this world!

 We will definetly stop again soon.

 In Mt. Lebanon, where Papa J's used to be on Washington Road.
