Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Little Tokio offers an accessible izakaya experience in Tampines, particularly noted for its skewers.

We see consistent praise for the value of their skewer sets, with a 10-stick option priced at $25 before GST.

While some find the skewers well-seasoned and tasty, there are mentions of occasional saltiness.

The space itself is described as small and can be prone to kitchen smells, but service generally receives positive remarks for attentiveness and speed.

We note mixed reviews on other dishes; the garlic fried rice and pork cutlet are cited as misses, while the grilled squid and stingray fin fare better.

The availability of alcoholic beverages like High Ball and beer, alongside the option to use CDC vouchers, adds to its appeal as a neighbourhood spot.

We think it's a solid choice for casual Japanese skewers and drinks in the heartlands, but temper expectations for other menu items.

What customers say

Little Tokio in Tampines is praised for its affordable Japanese cuisine, particularly the well-seasoned and tasty skewers, with many finding them good value.

While the service staff are consistently noted as attentive and patient, some dishes like the garlic fried rice and pork cutlet receive mixed reviews, with occasional complaints about saltiness or dryness.

The restaurant's small, HDB-located setting and kitchen smells are mentioned, but generally outweighed by positive food experiences and the availability of alcoholic beverages.
