Eat Tokyo in Camden

Have enjoyed visiting Eat Tokyo in London for a number of years, and it's always been a good choice. I particularly like their bento boxes (the chicken and salmon one being my favourite). Have added photos of the bento box menus to help others. The place itself is quite small and 'cosy', which is good and bad. But the staff are courteous, food is great, and things reasonably priced - so a big thumbs up from me 😃

Great value for money. My friend and I really enjoyed the sushi here ! Menu is expansive (a little overwhelming but lots of options) Walkin only - we went early so were quickly seated but also ushered out once done so they could seat more people.

Eat Tokyo in Holborn is a popular spot for authentic Japanese cuisine in the heart of London. Known for its extensive menu and affordable prices, it’s a go-to destination for sushi lovers, ramen enthusiasts, and anyone craving traditional Japanese flavors. This bustling restaurant offers a casual dining experience that’s perfect for both quick lunches and more leisurely dinners with friends or family. The menu at Eat Tokyo is impressively broad, with a wide range of sushi, sashimi, donburi, and noodle dishes. Each dish is carefully crafted, and the freshness of the ingredients is evident in every bite. The sushi, in particular, is a standout, with generous portions and beautifully prepared fish that rivals some of the more upscale sushi spots in the city. Their sushi rolls and nigiri come in a variety of options, from the classic salmon and tuna to more creative rolls that add a twist to traditional flavors. Additionally, their bento boxes are a great way to sample a little of everything, offering a well-balanced meal that includes sushi, tempura, and other classic Japanese bites. Ramen and udon lovers will also find plenty to enjoy. The ramen is rich and flavorful, with a broth that’s simmered to perfection and paired with tender noodles and a choice of toppings. Whether you go for the spicy miso or the classic tonkotsu, each bowl is satisfying and hearty, perfect for colder days. The udon dishes are equally delightful, featuring thick, chewy noodles in a comforting broth that brings out the umami flavors beautifully. Beyond the food, the ambiance at Eat Tokyo is vibrant and bustling, reflecting its popularity. The interior is simple and straightforward, but it works well for the restaurant’s casual style. There’s a strong sense of authenticity here, which makes you feel like you’re stepping into a local eatery in Tokyo. The open kitchen is a nice touch, allowing diners to watch the chefs at work and adding to the lively atmosphere. Service is prompt and efficient, though it can get quite busy during peak hours, so it’s worth booking a table in advance if you’re visiting during lunch or dinner rush. One of the best things about Eat Tokyo is its value for money. For the quality and portion sizes offered, the prices are very reasonable, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the area. It’s rare to find Japanese restaurants in central London that combine quality with affordability, but Eat Tokyo manages to strike that balance perfectly. In terms of drinks, they offer a selection of Japanese beers, sake, and teas that complement the meal well. The sake menu includes a few interesting options that are worth trying, especially if you’re looking to explore traditional Japanese beverages. For those who prefer non-alcoholic options, the green tea is a refreshing choice that pairs nicely with the flavors of the meal. Overall, Eat Tokyo in Holborn is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine without breaking the bank. Its extensive menu, high-quality ingredients, and affordable prices make it a standout in London’s Japanese dining scene. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or a ramen enthusiast, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. With its convenient location and consistently excellent food, Eat Tokyo is a place you’ll want to visit again and again. Highly recommended for anyone in the area or willing to travel for a great Japanese meal.

Eat Tokyo truly is a gem, amazing food at unbeatable price. Every time we go there, we find something new and exciting to try. Many happy returns 🥂

Very good and authentic Japanese food.

Tasty and real japanese food. Nice staff. Affordable price.

I have loved Eat Tokyo since I was introduced by it by a friend around 2016. I feel is one of the best options in London to have authentic Japanese food at very affordable prices. I always recommend getting a bento box as they are the best deal.

Exceptional food at a reasonable price

My gandson and I returned to the Holborn branch of Eat Tokyo where we were once again absolutely delighted with the delicious food, beautifully served. One of the very best restaurants in London, thanks, no doubt to Akhter Minto, the outstanding manager.

Fantastic. Very well priced for central London, especially the bento boxes. Great quality food, generous portion, quick service, and lively atmosphere - can't go wrong

This branch of Eat Tokyo is a 5-10 min walk from Holborn station in a street strangely dominated by Asian restaurants. It's a really cramped place, with tables crammed into several small spaces on three floors. The were six of us and I had to sit at one end of our table due to a step to a raised area. The menu is contained within an astonishingly large book that contains photos of all their staff and other restaurants in the chain. The reason for going is the consistently good quality of very reasonably priced, authentic Japanese food. We ordered an extensive variety of dishes and ended up paying £25 (which included service and a large draught beer). The service is efficient and pleasant (although we were brought a bento box that belonged to another table).

Amazing value for money and absolutely stunning food! Highly recommend to anyone. Salmon Teriyaki bento was incredible.

Very gracious waitress but otherwise the service was a little brusque at first although it mellowed by the end of the meal. The food was excellent and the venue intimate. We had a wonderful reunion.

Great fresh food at very reasonable price

During my stay in London, I was searching for an authentic Japanese culinary experience, and I found exactly that at Eat Tokyo in High Holborn. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by experienced sushi masters, and the atmosphere, along with the décor, instantly transports you to Japan. The menu is impressive, offering a wide variety of options - from sushi, ramen, and bento boxes to tonkatsu and bowls. I ordered nigiri with salmon, eel, and tuna, which were incredibly delicate and flavorful. Accompanied by uramaki (salmon and tuna) and futomaki with shrimp, the meal was perfectly rounded off with mochi for dessert, in mango and matcha flavours. A unique touch was the grapefruit lemonade with a splash of alcohol, which you can customize by adding fresh grapefruit yourself. The staff were friendly and attentive, making my experience even better. Eat Tokyo is a place that combines excellent food with an authentic Japanese atmosphere. I will definitely return to explore other locations of this chain in London!

Very good Japanese food for reasonable prices.

Ordered delivery from this outlet. Really tasty Japanese food, Salmon was fresh, terriyaki chicken was quite good. However, mapo toufu was more on the mediocre side. Overall a good place for Japanese cuisine.

I have been here lots of time almost my canteen in London, Ik it is always long queue, I love its flavor so i am willing to wait. Usually I am come here alone, sometimes arrange at the table sometimes bar. Tonight I queue here, only 6 ppl wait for table. They arrange 6guys group in, then comes 4ppl then they arranged 4. I could understand cos they are more ppl there even I wait here longer time, and they just here. After they come in, only me wait outside, and then comes another 2ppl, the staff still keep me wait n let me wait, I am there wait at least over 30min. I have been queue at soho over 1h, I never complain cos they are lots of ppl wait there. But it is no sense if u come alone, only let u wait for bar, they will not give u table even have place. It only happen in eat Tokyo holborn. That’s a awful experience after u finish ur daily work and wanna have a meal. If u donot have friend have dinner with u better back home, u not even deserve a table.

Food can be disappointing. The soft shell crab is not good.

The sushi is fresh and very delicious. However, when my group tried to return after smoking a cigarette, they took away our uneaten food. We complained, but there was no apology. I think service staff training is needed.

Very very terrible dining experience. Waitress clean the table just after we finish and asking if to give the bill, then telling us to pay and driving us away. There's no way to treat any customers like this. Shame on this restaurant.

Delicious bentos with reasonable price. Saranghaeyo oni san.

The food preparation staff were friendly. However the waitress wasn't. She snatched the menu off our hands after taking our orders and we were baffled. We ordered a meal each so not sure why the attitude. The prices of food is amazingly cheap and that's one of the reason we go there. However we won't go back to this branch as there are many other branches nearby.

Great, authentic Japanese food with many vegan options available

I usually get the bento box. great value for money and tastes great. Service a bit slow that evening even though it was the end of the night.

Great foot for great value ❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.

Fresh and tasty. But space is very tiny. So better prebook.

Good Japanese. Lots of dishes, maybe too many :)

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!!

Excellent place for great japanese food.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Superb, the best part is the Bento boxes

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.

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

Lovely food but service wasn’t great.

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.

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.

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.

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 🫶

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!
