“ This is a great, quick option when you're wanting Japanese Steakhouse food without the hour wait and performance piece. The menu is slim compared to a Japanese Steakhouse, but hits the main dishes and offers Ramen options. We usually stick to steak, chicken, and/or shrimp with fried rice and veggies, and they're great! We order online and it's ready when we arrive. The servers can be a little less than enthusiastic, but giving my name and picking up my order at the counter doesn't require a huge performance and I'm okay with that. ”

“ Let me just tell ya'll I could literally eat at Little Ari's every single day because it's just that good. This is by far one of my favorite places to eat at when in Winston. My go to meal is the Appetizer shrimp meal with zucchini and onions and fried rice. My favorite sauce is their house dressing (a ginger based dressing) I always get 3 of these to go with my meal because it's just that good lol. The service is here is always great and they are always very friendly. If you've never eaten here I highly recommend it. ”

“ I've heard nothing but great things about this fast casual takeoff from Arigato Japanese steakhouse. Finally after almost a year, I made it out to try it and it was a delicious experience. We ordered a Onigiri with tuna mayo to try before our entrees were ready. For just over $2 I could easily order a couple of these for lunch and be totally happy. There are other flavors of Onigiri available and I will definitely be going back for these. As an entree, my husband ordered Tonkatsu Ramen with Pork Belly. It's a generous portion with plenty of pork and noodles. The broth was just delicious. I ordered the chicken Katsu bento lunch special. The breading on the chicken was delicately crispy and seasoned well. It's served atop rice with a tiny side salad and edamame. I loved every bite and it was just what I was craving that day. This is a counter service restaurant so you place your order and they give you a pager to let you know when it's ready. We cleared our own tables as well which is never an issue for me. Drinks are self serve as well with plenty of options and a separate ice and water dispenser available. Thank you Little Ari's for a delicious lunch! I will be back for sure. ”

“ You can't beat the price here. I get takeout regularly and I honestly haven't found anywhere else in the area that has a comparable hibachi meal that's equally as good for a good price. Filet and shrimp with rice & vegetables is under $20 after tip & tax. Their shrimp are a better quality than most around. The filet is tender, seasoned, and has that little bit of sear on the outside to create some texture. The rice is tasty, and the white sauce is more like what you get at a teppanyaki place, rather than the normal pink-tinted, overly sweet shrimp sauce at a lot of fast casual hibachi. This is the same owners as Arigato, so the flavors and quality are similar. Online ordering is wicked fast and super simple. The staff are always pleasant. I have dined in before and it's a clean dining room with ample space. I sometimes even take my laptop and work while I eat and it's enjoyable. This is claiming my top spot for fast casual hibachi in Winston until further notice. ”

“ Overall good lunch experience. It's a new nice clean place. Ordering was quick and easy and the food came out fast. Prices were fair and staff was nice. I had the shrimp hibachi with fried rice. It was pretty good. The shrimp weren't real big and a bit rubbery. The teriyaki was pretty salty even for teriyaki, but good. ”

“ Comfort food at a great price! This place is SO DELICIOUS and im so happy i found my happy comfort food close to my home! I know im def coming back! I give this place 5/5 stars for the fact that it is exactly what it says it is! This is a fast service - japanese dining - hibachi and Ramen! It is not a japanese restaurant where they cook the food in front of you. Or luxury style dining. You walk in, order at the front and wait for your food to be ready. I ordered the combo- steak and shrimp with veggies and fried rice. It was only $14 and it was great! The veggies were fresh and not soggy. It was a good balance between veggies and protein! Steak was perfectly as i wanted (medium rare) - it was good quality and not fatty or meaty tasting. Its like a typical hibachi style steak! Shrimp was good but def on the smaller side! Also i love that it included 2 yum yum sauces! My favorite! Also it took less than 7 minutes to get our food - we were alerted with a buzzer that lit up and vibrated! Ramen was great 10/10. They had different ramen styles to choose from and I was not disappointed! Noodles perfectly cooked and NOT soggy. I have been to Japan in the past and im a deep lover of hibachi food and japanese food- but i really think this place is reasonably priced and i thought it was fresh and good! Staff were helpful when i had questions about the menu and atmosphere was clean! It had about 15 tables and booths! Con - some could have been wiped down. At the end, you just put your dishes away and throw your own trash. Otherwise- im a big fan! ”

“ I absolutely loved Little Ari's. So much in fact, that I went back a few days later to get takeout for my husband. I met my friend for lunch for my first go round and i got the combo filet and shrimp plate and a pork bao bun. The bun and the meal overall had so much flavor. I liked the white sauce but my friend said she wishes it had been a little more thick. I got the same combo for myself when I got takeout later and my husband got the hibachi chicken. I love that there are so many options and it is quick and easy. I cannot wait to try the ramen and other items on the menu! ”
