Eat Tokyo in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The food hygiene at this restaurant is terrible. Truly. Do not eat here. I wandered down the alley next to the restaurant and peeked in at the back and saw fish sitting on the floor in an old box, right next to a dirty mop and container of Domestos bleach! Surely this isn't legal? A little later I saw a large piece of tuna fish wrapped in plastic wrap sitting on the floor! I couldn't believe my eyes. When I took a photo the kitchen worker picked it up. You can see all this clearly in the photos. DO NOT EAT HERE.

It was probably the worst sushi we have ever asked for delivery and the most expensive. It came all messed up and the quality was awful. They also gave us 2 edamame instead of the sushi we asked and we paid over 100£… Personally will never order there again

This is objectively the worst eat tokyo branch. Unknown markups. Head chef and vice head chefs talk behind their customers and other employees backs.

I did not dine in at the restaurant this time, but I have eaten there a few times before and know what to expect. However, I decided to order through UberEats on this occasion, and what I received for £62 was quite surprising. For the Otoro sashimi, I was expecting at least four pieces, as that's what I typically receive when dining in but I got 3 as you can see in the photo. Additionally, I paid £28 for Uni, but what I received was disappointing only 3 pieces,As you can see from the photo, the quantity and quality are shockingly inadequate. Do you think the price is reasonable? Why is the portion size not the same as when dining in, even though the price remains the same? When I dine in, I receive more for the same price. If the portions are reduced for delivery orders, shouldn't the price be adjusted accordingly?

One of worst staff they will make you wait for 30 min for take away and will say it will be ready in 5 min but take more time looking outside even they are making delivery partners wait for 1 hour won’t recommend to eat here go somewhere else branch

Always going to one of their branches, love the sushi and the rolls, bentos are very good as well, prices are good value for what you get. Recommend!!

The food here is sensational! Love coming here

Absolutely amazing. Delicious, tasty, good value food and generous portions. So good! Have the fried chicken bento box. ☺️

Amazing authentic Japanese food 🍱

A great little spot for lunch or a lighter dinner. The quality of the food is not quite what it used to be some years ago, but the prices are very reasonable, and so overall it's still a place I return to every now and again.

We sat at the bar and watched the chefs make our sushi. It was a wonderful experience and would highly recommend the cuttlefish sashimi!

The food is okay, however not very impressive I think for 30 pounds the sushi could look more aesthetically appealing

Good sushi at a reasonable price.

The best Japanese food in the UK

I want to start my review by commenting about the atmosphere of this place. It is wonderful. Being able to watch the chefs work is always something I enjoy, and being able to see the food being prepared really adds to the experience. We really enjoyed the food. I LOVED the agedashi tofu it was absolutely perfect. It was crispy yet soft, and the flavour almost felt addicting (even enough so that we decided to order take out a few days later before we left London) The fish was also really delicious and tasted so freah, there is a variety of different sashimi which is really refreshing. I was so happy to see Ika on the menu! I later ordered the ika for take out ~ The waiting staff were brilliant too. Next time I come down to London, I will definitely be back!

Really nice, still affordable, authentic Japanese that satisfied all my voracious family!! Will come back again!!

Sat at the bar, had an amazing time ! Really cool head chef.

Excellent place for great japanese food.

Food was great but was unable to split a bill more than 3 people. It was a bit of a hassle to split a group of 7 between 3 people and arrange transfering

Good portions of food. Cramp and tightly seated inside Slightly rushed service Food quality is not as good as the soho and covert garden brand.

The best and cheapest Japan cuisine I’ve ever had 🤤

Crazy bargain and delicious Japanese food here in London. I go at least 3x/month. Dropped point on atmosphere due to cramped space and sometimes unbearable heat as more dinners fill up. I see the AC unit. Make it cooler!! Also, service charge non discretionary. Probably the only place I have ever dined that has this policy.

Me,my wife and our two little daughters been here 3 times over our week stay in London.Great service,really good food,fantastic atmosphere.Reasonable prices for London.

This was my first visit in the Holborn branch. As always, the food does not disappoint. The venue could have been much better presented, but the reasonable price and quality of food makes up for it. It’s a great place for quality and decent quality of Japanese food.

Beyond expectation, the fish is so fresh. And it’s quite a big bowl. The Miso soup is so taste, I like it.

Very good restaurant, with good food at good prices.

Supana was the best host, she took us in super late but ensured a good experience !! Shout out to her!! <3 xoxo

I recently visited "EAT TOKYO" in Holborn and had an exceptional dining experience. I started with the chicken and salmon teriyaki bento box, which offered a perfect balance of savory teriyaki flavors and tender, juicy meat. The miso soup was a comforting prelude, rich with umami and just the right amount of tofu and seaweed. The fried squid legs were delightfully crispy without being overly greasy, and the fried chicken was a standout with its juicy interior and perfectly seasoned crispy exterior. The crispy soft shell crab sushi and Chef Lin's special sushi were both highlights, showcasing fresh ingredients and expertly crafted rolls. For dessert, the strawberry cheesecake mochi was a refreshing finish, with a creamy, strawberry-infused filling encased in chewy mochi. The ambiance of EAT TOKYO was cozy and inviting, making it a fantastic spot for enjoying authentic Japanese cuisine in the heart of London. The floor manager and all the staff were very friendly and suggestive, offering excellent recommendations. The menu was impressively large, providing a wide array of options at amazing and affordable prices. The best part is, you can dine at a sushi bar for the most pocket friendly prices!

Quite a small place down the street from Premier Inn Holborn. There is usually a small line at the entrance. We stood for 3 minutes and went in. The dishes are amazing. The fish is fresh and there is a huge selection of Japanese dishes and the prices are good. It's a shame we only arrived on the last day. Highly recommended.

For the price it is an amazingg place

Lovely food and good service. Often busy and crowded, so maybe rock up sometime before 6ish for dinner. 👍

Not very good dining experience. The sushi chef called whoever’s on the phone stupid in Japanese, they’re not even loud. If he doesn’t like people talking, he could have told them, instead of calling them stupid. Food was good though.

excellent food, large and filling portions, great atmosphere (in the front of house, a bit less so in the upstairs/downstairs extra sections, but still great), and surprisingly reasonable prices

Great selection across the Japanese range. Eat alot or a little there's a bit for everyone. Traditional drinks offered. Plum wine is good. Left feeling full.

Awful experience. I went with my family and terrible! Never again

Great food, phenomenal value and service.

I enjoyed the food, had a pork cheek bento and deep friend gyoza and was great! The staff only gave us an hour at the table and one of the dishes was delayed and gave me 20 mins to finish it. Menu is too large and disorganised, making the menu clearer/more concise would speed up service and turnaround. Would go back though, pretty good 👍

Always good service in the Eat Tokyo branch in Soho, Notting Hill, and Bond street, but the waitresses here were very rude. I came on Saturday night for a seat for 7 and understandably needed to wait a long time - and I honestly wouldn’t have minded if I was told that they couldn’t accommodate 7 in such short notice. However, the waitress was short and rude and told us to wait without keeping us updated throughout. No one was managing the line outside too, and I had to direct every new guest coming to ensure they form a line… haha. Thought the rude service wasn’t worth the wait, so left for another restaurant.

I've been coming to Eat Tokyo for well over 15 years, and the Holborn branch in particular. I've started frequenting the Covent Garden branch as well with friends as it's close to my new office. Both branches are run by Mr Minto, who has always been a great host and we are always extremely well looked after by him and his staff. I loved in Japan for 3 years, 30 minutes north of Shinjuku. All the best times I had were in Izakayas, where the drinks were cheap and the food was delicious. You could sit there for hours, ordering a little at a time, each dish as great as the previous one. Izakayas don't specialise in one particular dish, but they don't a variety of dishes very well. The range of dishes you can get at East Tokyo is without rival, no other Japanese restaurant will give you the variety of dishes you can order here. There are dishes you can only order here, no other place will do it. And they reflect the dishes you would get when in Japan and at a local or chain Izakaya restaurant. One of my favourites is the Kaki Frai (deep fried oysters), which is a Kyoto speciality dish. Everything is great here, sushi/sashimi is a must, they have won awards for their dragon rolls. I have made the mistake of trying newly opened 'izakayas', which all have left me deeply disappointed. We will continue to be regulars here, we have never had a disappointing meal. If you're looking for great, authentic Japanese food at an incredibly affordable price, you won't find any better than here. Save your time and effort and give it a visit. I promise that you'll love it as much as we do.

Good food but not good service. Order collection on the phone, advised it will be 10-15 minutes. Get there, and no record of my order. Showed them my phone confirming it was their number. Walked out empty handed. Waste of time. Also if you order takeaway instore they will make you wait outside even if it's raining.

Toro Don is super delicious. Sashimi Bento, Tempura & Deep fried oysters are all yummy 😋

The quality of the food is sooooooo poor. NOT recommend and I would never come again.

Went for lunch and shared a Chirashi Don & a double Katsu Curry - the Chirashi was fantastic, great selection of fish - and the Katsu Curry was only £12 for the double portion (lunch time only!) for an unfathomable amount of food. Everything tasted great & the service was reasonably fast.

Superb, the best part is the Bento boxes

Lovely food but service wasn’t great.

Sushi was sabpar it was just ok service was good place was clean will go again if in the area to many better options

Food 5*, the staff very helpful 👌 5*. Going again for sure!!

Decent Japanese cuisine with a good price. Happy with the sushi. A bit crowded and i needed to be sitting costly to the other customers. Will come again.

Absolutely delicious Japanese food at a reasonable price, which is hard to find in London! I thoroughly recommend the Jyu boxes (sashimi and rice, with miso soup on the side), the Geso-kara (insanely good value for what you get), the German roll and the Temaki (sushi hand rolls). They have a massive menu, which can be a red flag, but I haven’t found anything that disappointed me so far! I also enjoyed sitting by the bar and watching the chefs make my sushi fresh. Will be coming back again.

Excellent food and friendly service. There was no queue, we got a table for 3 with ease at lunch time. It was busy inside, service was quick and prompt. The tables are close to each other so conversations are easily heard. We enjoy coming here and will be definitely returning here again.

I love Eat Tokyo. Have been going to other branches for years. This was my first time at the Holborn branch. We loved the food. Always yummy and fresh. The service is very friendly and efficient. Everyone that I take there always enjoys it. Would definitely recommend this place if you like Japanese food. They open at 6pm in the evening and there's always a queue. They take bookings for 3 people or more.

After living in the Europe a long time, it’s really hard to find good taste and reasonable price Japanese cuisine!! Highly recommended👍

Amazing atmosphere and experience! Ordered the Sashimi, and they cut it right at the bar. Bar is available, which works well for solo customers.

Great bento boxes! Love the veggie tempura

Delicious japanese food. From sushi, to karage, through ramen. They have it all, and know to cook it at top level. The service is swift and prices are very affordable. My favourite place in London.

Nice food and affordable price in London

Absolutely excellent menu and dishes. Warm and welcoming setting (book ahead!). Very much a place to revisit. Bento boxes were superb but the more unique dishes should be explored.

Super good food, nice portion with an incredibly reasonable price! Salmon bento is my go-to.

I called to make a reservation and they said they don’t take reservations. We’re waiting in line outside and a member of staff comes out and calls out for people who made reservations. I don’t know why they have to lie. As I come here and make reservations so regularly, it seemed really unfair.

We were greeted by an EXTREMELY RUDE waitress with a strong accent who was speaking really fast. My girlfriend walked in first and I didn’t hear what the waitress said. I said sorry she just repeated what she just said really fast and I still couldn’t understand so I just said sorry again. She then proceeded to just STARE at me for 10-15 seconds. During our dinner she kept shouting and shouting. Why is she the only one shouting? None of the other staff were shouting. She was not wearing a name tag, I tried to look for her name in the menu as there was the name of other chefs but she wasn’t there. I will not go there again, if you want to eat at eat Tokyo just go to another branch where I am sure the service will be much much better.

Always great here. Highly recommend the chicken teriyaki bento box

Great food and not much waiting to be sit unlike the SoHo branch

Very good Japanese food, the menu is very thick, there are so many choices, there will be a choice barrier. The service is also good and the food is served quickly. But the restaurant is very small and there are a lot of people. It’s not suitable to stay there for too long. Just leave as soon as you finish eating.

Very affordable, great service, and great food.

The food is delicious with a lot of options. Fish was fresh and soft. Amazing! The place is tiny and you might want to reserve a table before going just to make sure you don’t miss the opportunity to eat amazing Japanese food!

Went a few weeks back with partner to enjoy Eat Tokyo. Been to nearly every branch so far. The food is great, good value. The only problem is the very very chaotic menu. Had a great waiter that served us this time, so positive and playful with other staff. Arigatō.

Very affordable prices for amazing and authentic food! Would definitely come back again!

I love this place, and it’s a regular stop-off on business trips to London for great, unfussy Japanese food. Often eating solo which means I’m at the sushi bar which makes for an engaging way to pass the time! Very extensive menu so quite hard to pick just a few items! Thanks to the team for an always enjoyable lunch.

Alt katta bar şeklinde, üst katta ise 10 kadar masası var. Menü inanılmaz zengin, çok çeşitli.Personel yöresel giysileri ile hızlı servis veriyor.Popüler bir mekan, çok büyük değil ama masalar arasında yeterli boşluk var. Tek sıkıntı havalandırması çok iyi değil, kızartma kokusu üst kata geliyor. Yine de tüm denediğim yemekleri beğendim,yine gideceğim.

I am probably biased but this is one of my favourite affordable Japanese restaurant in London. I have been regularly coming here for a few years now and tried all of the other eat tokyo in central london and this one is by far my favourite! The bara-chirashi don is usually my go to order. The price is affordable for what you get especially in london, but they quality is there.

I had a really great time in Eat tokyo !!! 💟 Such a kind staff 🤍 And also delicious sashimi in Ldn 🫶

Too good to eat, the sashimi is so fresh and umami, the tempura is finger-licking good so crispy.

Top notch sushi & bento boxes from a nice, welcoming, cosy Japanese restaurant. Good choice of Japanese dishes, ramen, sushi & drinks including beers, green tea & Japanese whiskey. Thanks for a great night!

I had the chicken curry, which was below average and terrible service

Excellent, very competitively priced Asian food. There is always a queue outside but it is worth the wait.

Absolutely authentic and the Hyper roll was spectacular.....

The BEST Japanese restaurant I’ve experienced outside of Japan. Feeling like being in Kyoto, the menu is incredible, the food is 5 stars, and the service of great advice. Will go there as often as I can.

Amazing little place, definitely one of my favourite chain Japanese restaurant in London, truly authentic. Great selection of sushi and lots of other healthy dishes. The quality of sushi was excellent, delicious, freshly made, and beautifully presented, at a reasonable cost. Excellent costumer service, staff were friendly, efficient and attentive. Would highly recommend and will be back again.

今はロンドンに住んでいないけど、時々戻ってよかった。大将のおしまさん、ありがとうございました😊（いつまでの美味しいバラ/チラシ丼も、今日のサービスも）いい食べ物は心を癒せるね。🍣🌱🥹 I promised to come back soon and here I am after one year. Time flies! I’m so glad that the corner still houses my best uni memory ^^ Even though I have moved out of London and even though I can’t visit here very often, the restaurant has a feeling of home on another continent. Once again I’m stuffed by the beautiful bara chirashi don, with gorgeous layers of assorted fresh white and red fish, crunchy tobiko and ikura, and sweet-savory pickled carrots. The tamakoyaki is wonderful. I don’t know when I last ordered one but this comes soothingly sweet and juicy in the center. Thank you Chef :> The spinach came so compressed XD I need to refresh my memory about restaurant veggies. This is definitely one of your five in the small bowl. Hope I can come back really soon. — I miss here so much! The restaurant (holborn and convent garden) was like my go-to place for lunch/dinner almost every school day during my uni days. And yes, I almost always have either chirashi or bara-chirashi :> Great to come back. As hearty, delicious, and filling as it was three years ago. While my graduated friends aren’t with me, it’s wonderful to enjoy the companionship of the friendly chefs and observe other people’s food, as always. オシマさん、林さん、ご馳走様でした^ ^

Buona qualità/prezzo, menù infinito, abbastanza caotico e potreste attendere una decina di minuti prima di trovare posto. Unico neo il personale a volte è frettoloso e mette pressione per far ordinare veloce, cosa difficile quando si ha davanti un menù da 40 pagine

Never had a bad meal here, obsessed with the katsu curry

Man this place use to be better, the food was much higher quality 5 years back (I can prob say the same for many places in London). Still good tho, still a great option for no brainer japanese food.

Eat Tokyo has undoubtedly secured its place as my favourite Japanese restaurant to frequent. Despite its size, the presence of a queue even before opening speaks volumes about its popularity, and after experiencing it, I understand why. The food at Eat Tokyo not only meets but exceeds expectations. The affordability of the dishes paired with their exceptional quality creates an unbeatable combination. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with the inviting aroma of Japanese cuisine, setting the stage for a delightful dining experience. The fact that there's a consistent queue attests to the restaurant's reputation for serving outstanding Japanese fare. It's a testament to the authenticity and flavours that keep customers coming back for more. Eat Tokyo, with its small yet bustling atmosphere, manages to capture the essence of Japanese culinary excellence. If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine and appreciate a great dining deal, Eat Tokyo is a must-visit. The combination of reasonable prices and fantastic food makes it a standout in the realm of Japanese restaurants. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to indulge in more of their delicious offerings.

If you love the japanese kitchen is the best place to go.

If you love Japanese food at a good accessible price, then Eat Tokyo is the place. Definitely, we will return because the menu is large and every time we can try something else.

Used to come here for lunch often, however both service and quality has declined horribly over the years. Decided to give it one last go as it used to be a favourite of mine however that will be the last time I ever return unfortunately.

I’ve been to several EatTokyo branches and I think this is best one

Brilliant Japanese restaurant. Friendly staff and quality food with an extensive menu.

Beautiful, affordable and quick food. Great place!

Thoroughly disappointed with the Holborn branch of Eat Tokyo. If you want to eat here, I recommend at least going to another branch (Covent Garden, Hammersmith, etc). We had a reservation for 4 at 7:30, and we arrived early so as to not be late. However, they were quite busy and we had to wait until 7:30. When our reservation time was up, a server named Hannah came out to tell us there was one table available, and asked us to give it to someone else to a table of tourists that had come well after us, and we had to wait for the next one instead. What bothered me the most was that it felt almost discriminatory when we were asked to give up the table to the tourists. I would not have minded if Hannah simply said their table was ready first, but she made it clear that we should give up our table for them - I can't find a reason why, but I can definitely make inferences. Nonetheless, the unprofessional staff here ruined our experience with this branch of Eat Tokyo.

The number one Japanese food in UK. I hope you could open one in Manchester, there are many HK people who all love Japanese food.

OG place with great food. The sushi master received an award for the best sushi in London. I chose the chirashi and it was awesome!

I visited the High Holborn branch for the first time and had an amazing dinner last night. The food was affordable (generous bento boxes for ≈ £10) but also offered plenty of options. I must say, the atmosphere at this branch felt better than the one in Soho.

Delicious food with generous portions and reasonable prices. £10 for a bento box is the cheapest you can find in London. Will visit again.

The best restaurant I have ever eaten in. Decent prices and large main portions. Could not recommend this enough

Lovely menu, which gives you so much choice that you can get lost in it! Everything is tasty and quickly served. Service is very efficient and friendly. The waiters are happy to help or explain items from the menu. The place is very popular so you need to be prepared to wait in a queue outside for at least 30 min. at peak times. You can't book a table for 2 in advance, which, I think, is a very unreasonable rule! This needs to be revisited.

First time I went to Holborn branch. Food was tasty and fresh and Asahi pint cold as per usual. Fast service which was good as we were hungry. We were sent downstairs first but I felt claustrophobic and couldn’t stay as the room is quite small, went upstairs and was much better.

Food is decent, can’t complain. The variety is the most impressive thing, you’re almost spoiled for choice and the portion sizes are solid. You will find better Japanese food at other restaurants in my opinion, though.

Affordable yet safe bet Japanese option Very large menu with multiple sushi rolls, bento and rice box options

Best value for money japanese place in London
