Eat Tokyo in City of London, Westminster

Eat Tokyo in Soho is a great spot for authentic Japanese food at reasonable prices. The sushi is fresh, portions are generous, and the menu has loads of variety—from bento boxes to donburi and ramen. It has a casual, no-frills vibe, and service is quick and efficient. A solid choice if you’re craving Japanese food in central London!

Brilliant authentic Japanese food. I've brought many friends here over the last few years and they've all loved it - especially those visiting from Japan.

Tasty, friendly, and glutenfree options were possible with extra soya sauce and good understanding/ red flag on table as reminder; good price

The food was really good and service was fast! However, the menu is quite large, which made it a bit overwhelming to choose. We had a lot of questions before ordering because of the variety, maybe simplifying or organizing it more would help future guests. Still, a tasty experience overall! 🍱❤️

Food menus are completely perfect. The food also nice.

After eating here I vomitted. The food made me feel extremely nauseous afterwards, the food was also very underwhelming and quite cold. I also want to point out that the service was horrible, this is by far the worst service I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The waiters didn’t greet me, didn’t respond to me, and had bad energy the whole time, specifically the South Asian woman and South Asian Male. I was not given tap water even though I asked for it twice and felt forced to purchase a drink instead. Overrated place.

The waiters was extremely rude. I was shouted at for no reason at all. Also i felt like vomiting after I ate the food here, I think I had food poisoning from their food.

I came to dine around 4 PM yesterday and didn’t have to queue. I haven’t had Japanese food in a long time, and I’m very satisfied with the experience.

The Indian female waiter made me feel so uncomfortable. She was grinning at me throughout the whole time and was rolling her eyes whenever I’d raise my hand up to ask for her service. I asked for tap water and it never came, I asked her again a while after and she responded rudely and still never gave me the water. I felt extremely sick after my meal and I suspect she did something to my food.

DO NOT GO HERE! I went to the restroom and saw what looked like a rat or mouse. I was disgusted and cancelled my order and left. Absolutely disgusting! I told one of the staff and they seemed to not care at all, its as if this is a normal thing for them. The staff had no reaction and was extremely dismissive.

The customer service here is a joke. We were told to wait for half an hour so we did, we were then designated to a table by one of the waiters. Once we sat down a different waiter came and yelled at us telling us to get out of that table. I dont see why you cannot speak to your customers with respect, this is clearly a mistake on your behalf too. Not only this, but the same waiter was kissing their teeth at us several times and had an unwelcoming attitude the whole time they served us. Not only did the waiters attitude stink, but so did their breath. I suggest you tell your staff to improve their hygiene, respectfully. We will never be returning to this horrible place. The waiter was a indian woman btw

A great place in London selling reasonably priced, large portions of Japanese food. As with other reviews, you have to be prepared to queue outside, we waited for around 30 minutes at 12.30pm for a table for two. However once inside the staff are working hard to serve everyone. My partner ordered the salmon bento box and I ordered the regular sized chicken katsu curry. It was huge, although mainly consisting of sauce and rice the portion was more than big enough for one person. However, the restaurant lost a star as my curry and rice came out cold. We asked the staff to bring a fresh plate, which they did, which was much hotter, however it meant a wait and that we weren't eating at the same time. Also, they add a 12.5% service charge automatically, which I dislike. It should be up to you how much you tip. However this is optional, so you can ask for it to be removed. Overall, a few issues to iron out, but for the price I would definitely visit again.

The food was marvelous, it truly captured that sweet authentic Japanese taste. The service was very welcoming and kind, though the atmosphere felt like a bar in Japan which is not my liking.

The food was amazing the service wasn't great. Given it was a busy night still waited 2 hours for a pre show meal a few of the courses were wrong and the ice cream machine was broken. The food was 10/10

Very good food, great choice and very reasonably priced for London. Very popular and I can see why...

I’ve been here more than a dozen times, and it’s usually amazing service and food, but today was absolutely horrible! My mum and I were served some soup as a starter which is fine, but we asked for spoons and the server just nodded and forgot to bring us any. Then after 15 minutes, my mum’s bento box was served, but mine wasn’t. I waited 20 minutes for mine, and my mum was already finished with her food for a while. The server finally came by and we told her my food wasn’t served yet. She nodded again and left, so I thought she was getting my food or coming back to give me an update. No, she just went back to cleaning tables and serving other people. I had to ask a different server about my food for it to be served. The tables around me had a similar experience, where only one person was served their food and the other people had to wait 20 minutes. Another table asked for two sushi rolls but only got one, but since they waited for so long, they didn’t want the second roll any more. We were seated in the area where you have to go up some steps, so maybe that’s why the service was so bad, because I never had such bad service sitting in the other areas.

Amazing authentic Japanese food for a great price! Loved the fact that the menu had pictures too! Service was brilliant. Would definitely recommend trying this out. I'll be back for sure next time I'm in London. P.S. Try to book ahead to avoid waiting outside as it's an extremely popular and busy restaurant

Great experience! Didn’t have to wait too long, service and food was great and affordable. One of my favourite restaurants in London, would highly recommend!

The food is not tasty, and the quality is not worth the price.

Overall, Amazing food could be one of the top 5 in London, i personally recommended the tuna and salmon there. The service was great, voluntarily offer service eg, when the tea when out. Atmosphere wise its quite nice stepping into the restaurants you will see various Japanese drums, clothes and the cheifs cutting fish and serving in front of you. The seats could be quite packed together in some places but overall 👍

Have been to Eat Tokyo (Soho) and Eat Tokyo (Hammersmith) and they never disappoint. Sushi Bento box 🍱 is superb So much food 😋 and it's not expensive at all. Can't recommend a better place to go for some nice Japanese food. And even standing outside in a 10m queue is soo worth it 👌

Xue was amazing! We tried to find something halal but it was not quite possible, she offered many options that don't have pork or alcohol. She brought us a non-alcoholic soy sauce as well. Thank you Xue!

Quick, cheap, quality. Worth the queue!

the worst service ever ! no check backs no greetings felt like their pets waiting to be fed!

Great place but be prepared to queue.

I got food poisoning after eating their sushi. And I’m sure it’s them because I’ve been cooking everything I eat besides for that meal and I was fine, I was also cooking the same meals. Food portion was also a bit weird, we also ordered pork cutlet rice and there was three times the amount of pork compared to rice. It’s nice to have so much meat but I barely had any rice

This is not worth the long queue time outside. You would be wise to spend that time on a cookbook, or installing Deliveroo if you're lazy like me.

Tasty food and great value for money! We had a couple bento boxes, a sushi set and katsu curry. All delicious and in sizeable portions

I eat at eat tokyo regularly. I really love their taste and portions. They are always clean and fast it’s always full no wonder why. I love this place and i would recommend.

For being in London and in a Chinese neighborhood, the atmosphere is great, polite staff and really good food in search of quality, good value for money.

I was super as usual. Tempura and nigiri is superior

Nice food with a great selection on the menu, but maybe a little overhyped. Tables and loos are clean. A somewhat average Japanese restaurant

Love this place! Food is really good and every time I sit there I feel like I'm sitting in some Japanese places in Japan!!

Lovely food, but average. Waited an hour to be seated from 5pm on a Saturday which wasn’t bad at all, but we were about 10th in the queue. Normally I see queues far bigger, more than triple that the queue we were in so to wait any longer for this place is not worth it. Service was lovely. Food is nice. Highly recommend the pumpkin croquettes! Best thing we ate here. Also got Yakitori which had a nice sauce. Chicken Gyozas are very average. Bento boxes are large portions. I think I got B5, however maybe be wrong. Entire bill came to just under £40. If you can get eat without having to wait in a queue then I think this is a good eat, but if you’re waiting anywhere longer than an hour I fear this is not worth it at all.

LOVED IT HERE! Good variety of jappenese cuisine😋 good flavors, large portions sizes too, so good value for money 👌

We went there in each travel we did in London since it was so so yummy! And the price are so good for such good food. We will definetly go again in our next visit in London. I especially loved the fried octopus leg, the various kind of bentos and the sweet sauce eel on the rice. The only "bad" thing IS that it's very loud and crowded, but isn't really annoying

We went to Eat Tokyo twice and it is, for me, one of the best Japanese restaurants in London. Everything is not expensive and it is very good, the wait is not long and we are served quickly. We will definitely go back!

Such a great spot! We had the sushi, ramen, pumpkin croquettes and the katsu bento box. The portions were massive, there were so many options to choose from and the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend!

good but keeps taking people behind us in line and now im malding

Delicious, delicious, delicious

A really good restaurant for the price. Might be a little wait at the door for dinners if you didn’t make a booking, but the wait would be worth it. Very generous portions of quality food at a reasonable price, with plenty of options. A great place to go when you’re looking for authentic Japanese cuisine!

Real authentic Japanese izakaya food in London, unbeatable in this city.

Absolute fantastic food, great service, best priced Japanese cuisine you will find in London!

The food is amazing. The is even better. There is always queue but the manage it quite well and you get in so quickly. I Highly recommend it

Best sushi I have ever had! Affordable for the quality of fish you get. Not a long wait time after you are seated, fresh, and buttery!

Worst Asian food I have ever tried (I'm from Asia)

Price and food taste and environment are all excellent. The only issue is queue too long.

Great sushi with authentic atmosphere. We will definitely come back!

Saturday night in soho and where else to go…. But Eat Tokyo! I’ve been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Good authentic Japanese food. Restaurant always has a buzz to it and always very busy. I’ve never had a bad meal and this visit was no exception.

Dish portion is really huge. Taste is good. Price is cheap. Can’t complain any more.

Terrible experiencia. Pedí un bento después de esperar media hora, pregunté dónde estaba mi pedido. Dijeron que está en camino. Una hora más tarde, pregunté de nuevo, aparentemente le dieron mi bento a un cliente diferente y nadie se dio cuenta si no pregunté. Y tengo que esperar otros 10 minutos para que llegue mi pedido. Increíble.

I love LOVE Eat Tokyo!! I’m a regular here, I’ve been coming since 2016 and I’m super glad my friend recommended it to me. The food is excellent, well priced and I never regret coming, even when there’s a long wait. Service is excellent too. Always enjoy coming here when I’m in London.

One of the definitive cheap eats in Chinatown. Portions are very large and for a very good price. The flavour is there too with everything we ate tasting great and everything made with good quality meat. There is quite a large menu with lots of variety so would recommend going with a group of people to try out different things. I had the pork katsu don which came with two large pork cutlets covered with egg and a delicious savory sauce - all for less than £12! Their bento boxes are also massive so great for trying a few things in one dish. This place is very busy so would recommend booking in advance to avoid a long queue and note they only take phone bookings. Definite recommend!

Independientemente de la larga cola absolutamente vale la pena la espera. A pesar de cualquier cosa con un restaurante, siempre se trata de la comida y fue fantástico. Y por el precio en el Soho aún mejor

The Bento boxes have changed and are no longer the amazing value they used to be

Busy, bubbly atmosphere, with a menu that will intrigue you or confuse you haha Very well priced, fantastic service, divine food.

Good food, great portions and perfect value for money.

Really great Japanese food. Worth the queue

Dining date 27/02/2025 4 pm (reserve 6 tables) The food quality is very good, and it is handled by Japanese chefs, so the taste is similar to Japanese style, and there are not many changes to cater to local tastes, so the price is also very reasonable. The most unreasonable thing is that the portions of curry rice and ramen are a bit scary. The larger portions of rice and noodles can be shared by 3 girls. If you order a lot of other food, order a rice/noodle 4-5 It's OK for girls to share, but the noodles are delicious, but the soup base is a bit bland and not flavorful enough. The pork is in the form of Cantonese roasted pork, not Japanese barbecued pork, and the eggs behind it are not runny eggs at all. Quite a lot and great value for money. The tempura bento is also quite tasty. The tempura fried oysters are also better than I expected. All the tempura food is not greasy at all. In addition, the portions of the fried squid are quite big and the wine pairing is excellent. It is recommended that if there are more people to eat, you can place the order in two separate times. Because the countertop is relatively thin, the food is served very quickly. You can’t put too much food in one time. If you order it in two times, you can eat it slowly. It is recommended that you try Japanese food. This room! Even if I look back, I will look back

Great food , great service. Usually a line outside. Wont be a line if you go in late an hour before closing like we did. Recommended.

My fave Japanese place, sometimes the service is a bit off, but hey, they're usually super busy.

We came here on a Monday evening and were seated quickly. Our waiter took our orders, we were served our drinks and miso soup and then it was a good 30min that nothing happened and no other food was served, whilst the people around us, who arrived later, were finishing up eating. Our waiter seemed to think it’s normal that we were there at an empty table. Eventually we asked him for an update on our food order and it turned out that “the ticket was lost”. He offered us some overly frozen mochis for the extra wait. They were not edible as rock hard and frozen. The bento boxes arrived shortly after and they were very very good. We had the chicken katsu. So whilst the food was very good, the service was below standard for me. Plus, you get charged a service fee. (In our case, it wasn’t clear what that was for but well…)

Worth the wait during dinner time. Very authentic Japanese food.

Brilliant experience for Japanese cuisine. Excellent variety and good value for money.

Recomendado por un colega con experiencia previa aunque hace un año. Comentarios recientes pintan una decepción. Por muy equivocados que estuvieran. Cola fuera durante unos 10 minutos antes de ser mostrado a una mesa. Ambiente ocupado, bastante auténtico japonés. La comida es deliciosa y suficiente en cantidad para alimentar adecuadamente 2. Precios razonables para el centro de Londres

Good variety in the sushi bento box. Asahi draft was elite

Authentic Japanese experience in the heart of Soho. You need to queue outside to get a table, if you go weekends go early or expect a 30/40 minutes wait if not more. All seafood is fresh and served quite quickly, and it's delicious.

I have enjoyed eating at Eat Tokyo for many years but today my experience there has possibly put me off forever. We were welcomed warmly at the door and I assumed we were in for the usual enjoyable time. Our miso soup arrived soon after ordering and my friend’s chicken teriyaki arrived soon after that. After fifteen minutes, my sushi/sashimi had not appeared and when we asked where it was we were told that sushi takes a long time. Ten minutes later two waiters and came along and said they had given my sushi/sashimi to another customer by mistake and they were getting mine now but it would take 30 minutes to come. When I protested, the manager came along and said it would just be a few minutes and three minutes later, he produced a plate of hurriedly assembled fish. My friend had finished her chicken long before I got to eat my food. I have recommended this place to many friends but I shan’t any more and I’m not sure if I’ll come back to eat here myself. This makes me very sad. I am also shocked that they did not make even a small token gesture by way of saying sorry.

Big portion, food a bit greasy though with the thick coating

100% Japanese food, amazing service, recommended!

Really good value Japanese restaurant. The lunch deals are fantastic, with lots of variety, combos and options to choose from. Service is usually fast, and service will be pretty decent. Fish quality in sushi is pretty good, especially considering the price. Definitely a steal when you compare to similar establishments across London. They have a few locations but I think this may be the best one. Very generous portions and quite filling too. Sometimes though, experiences can be a bit of a letdown, and I have been served fish that wasn't fresh. Overall however, considering all factors, great place for work lunch, or dinner too, especially in a group setting.

Eat Tokyo solid experience as always. Went on a Monday after work, a queue was still present (took 20 minutes). Food service was good and quick. Food is solid and unpretentious, good for the price.

I keep coming back because the food is always amazing—fresh sushi, generous portions, and great value for money. But the service it’s a bit of a gamble. Some days, it’s smooth and friendly; other times, it’s inattentive. Still, the food makes up for it every time. Worth it, just go with patience!

Great food with a nice price. I would recommend.

Large portion of serving for a surprisingly affordable price.

Probably one of the best quality/price ratio you’ll find in London. The menu is very extensive and it’ll definitely have something for everyone. Had a bento box, and the tempura and the donburi on it were especially good. The quality of the fish and seafood is alright but nothing too spectacular, but it’s a very nice quality for a good price. The only thing I didn’t like was the Miso soup, it was too watery

Another great branch. Expect to see a queue outside. Be sure to make a reservation when going as a larger group. Food is great and comes in good time. You will notice that space is tight between tables.

Food was incredible, service even better

One of my favorite spots to go to for a pre-show dinner when attending theatre in London! Especially a fan of their cocktails, and bento boxes (my go to is to the chicken katsu or teriyaki!) Would absolutely recommend for a meal with friends or family; perfect for casual hang outs and special occasions alike x

Bloody amazing i love eat tokyo so cheap so nice inside such amazing workers

Fantastic food, as if you are in Tokyo.

Atún graso con arroz fue mi primera opción en Eat Toyko, pero otros mantuvieron sus estándares. Todavía voy a Comer Toyko, pero para ser honesto, ya no puedo pagar el atún graso.

The food here has flavour, the menu is huge in my opinion too big you ended up lost not knowing what to eat. The sushi and sashimi is fresh and has quality. This restaurant is quite busy, often there is a queue but it is worth it. Last time we visited the service wasn't that great and bathrooms where quite dirty. Recommended

You can eat authentic Japanese food in the UK, and it’s cheap and the CP value is super high

🌸 JoJo 🌸 – Best value for money for a Japanese restaurant in London! 🇬🇧🍣✨ 📜 Ultra varied menu: a huge choice of dishes, there is something for everyone! 🍱🍤🥢 ⏳ Little advice: come early ⏰, because the wait can be long... This restaurant is a victim of its success! 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ 👌 Everything is delicious, a real 10/10! 😍🔥 🌸J.J🌸

Food was healthy and very tasty, but I had to wait a very long time for my dish, which was served much later than my son's. Great value for a central London location.

A queue outside a restaurant doesn't always guarantee great food, but this is most definitely worth waiting for. So many options to choose from in a generously populated menu, and very reasonable prices indeed for such a central location in London. Fast service and you aren't hurried out after finishing either, amazing!!

Had a long queue before we finally got in. We ordered various of sushi and other things, but my favorite was the A5 Wagyu Nigiri Sushi! It was so good!!! The place was big and can accommodate lots of guests. The servers were also very quick and friendly.

had this place on my list for ages and finally made it, such a good selection, prices and food all fantastic and will be returning!

It's a very famous one and you normally have to queue for a while. I never get tired of Eat Tokyo. I also love it because they have real izakaya places recommendations in Japan at the door that you can check in case you travel to Japan. The sushi tastes really good. We had spicy tofu, and the way the tofu is fried l, makes the taste amazing. Loved the crunchy outside and the soft tofu alomost melting inside. The bento box comes along with a miso soup, too. Everyone is nice, and although the place is small, the atmosphere is unique.

Really good food, looks good, taste good, good value and friendly staff with big choice.

Pretty good quality food. Not the same as in Tokyo, but close enough. Tried bento and tuna sashimi.

Fantastic, professional, delicious, high-quality, authentic Japanese restaurant. The most respectable and famous of all the many (excellent) Japanese restaurants in London. This one does have a problem with long queues to get in, so a reservation if possible is a good idea. Also it can be quite noisy inside because of so many people talking. But generally fantastic. SUCH good quality of food and professionalism. I love it.

We went last Saturday at around noon when it had just opened. Fairly fast service and authentic Japanese food.

Tasty authentic food, great service and atmosphere

We ordered the bento box, and the fried tofu in the set was cold and not fresh.. was not that good.

Authentic Japanesee restaurant, Tuesday at 4pm was very busy, recommend booking beforehand. They have massive menu you will definetly find something for yourself but it will take you a while! Everything came very fast, food was delicious and very fresh. Bento Boxes are great for the price there is a lot in it. Sushi was so tasty!

Affordable and delicious food with a wide variety of menu options. It’s always busy, but service is quick, so you won’t have to wait long.

Everything we ordered was delicious, some waitresses dressed in traditional costumes and, the best, the waiters who served us were Shuhei and Nipun. They were very kind, helpful and patient 😉. Out of 10 for them

Less stars as to them serving me STINKY UNAGI BENTO! bro why? Such a let down ! Served me stale unagi with pungent fishy taste . When addressing this i was served another one but was bit raw though it was not fishy ! Also, Seating needs to be re arranged to begin with ! !!! Yes food is cheaper in comparison to other jap restaurants other than that never ordering UNAGI ! 🤮gave life time trauma ! silly sausages cant you think your customers are fool ! Do not order ramen and unagi (eel) here!!!
