Eat Tokyo in City of London, Westminster

The best food and the best service!

Went here today. Giant katsu curry for two people. Ate there on an empty stomach and was a struggle to eat my half. I'm a hungry eater and can easily eat double portions of most meals, but this was a challange. Couldn't imagine eating it on my own. Double Chicken Curry was £11.50, and we got a £2.80 drink to share, so all in all £16 (12.5% service charge) So like £8 per person. In central london for hot fast food in a restaurant to get full. The queue to get seated was quiet long (felt like 20 mins, like 4-10 people in front of you waiting), especially in peak times, but defo worth it because food arrives quick and service is very attentive and fast.

The food was disappointing. What was particularly upsetting, however, was the blatant racial discrimination I experienced. While staff warmly greeted other customers with smiles, thank yous, and goodbyes, they completely ignored me, even when I proactively said goodbye to them. They are quite impatient and indifferent. Such an awful experience😡

Very well prepared delicious Japanese food.

The food at Eat Tokyo has always been great for the price. It’s no surprise there’s usually a long queue outside; and until recently, it always felt worth the wait. On our latest visit, we queued for about 30 minutes before the restaurant opened. As usual, we were excited to order from their extensive menu. The food didn’t disappoint — we had a lovely time chatting and enjoying the meal. Unfortunately, we found a strand of hair under the rice. We felt it was important to let the staff know, not to complain, but to ensure it didn’t happen to other customers. Disappointingly, the response lacked sincerity; the apology felt more like a formality than genuine concern. We’ve been loyal customers and regularly visit Soho on weekends, often choosing Eat Tokyo. But after this incident, we’ve decided that was probably our last visit. If you do choose to eat here, I’d recommend checking your food before digging in, just in case there are other unexpected surprises.

The best Japanese food restaurant I have ever tasted, really tasty dishes and a huge variety. The quantities are very generous and the prices are quite affordable. Lovely staff

Food was superb and the service was very good. The restaurant though was very loud however considering its Soho on a Saturday night loud is to be expected. The queues are so long though so definitely book a table instead. Highly recommend visiting and trying the miso aubergine. That was the highlight of the night!

Fast service great food and great price, couldn’t ask for more

The food was absolutely delicious, you have a large menu and lots of choice, and everything seemed very reasonably priced! Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Downsides were, having to queue for 25 mins to get a table, very slow to take order and for food to arrive, washrooms that needed to be better maintained. Dietary restrictions not necessarily catered to; a lot of the sushi contained eel which not everyone can eat. Miso soup wasn’t as hot when served. Interior is basic and a bit outdated. They do add a service charge automatically, but you can ask for that to be removed if you like.

Good food but service was slow. My friend waited an extra 40 minutes for her food after everyone had been served

Decent food, great value for money.

We went there around 6pm, we were in the queue for only less than 5mins. I’ve always liked Eat Tokyo for its affordability and food quality.

A delicious spot in London offering generous portions of authentic Japanese cuisine at very reasonable prices. Great value for the quality!

Surena (not sure how to spell her name) who was looking after the back left side of the restaurant was amazing and super friendly. Thank you!

good food, the place is noisy but the sushi and the food are great standard and quite cheap

Ubicación BOND STREET - Horrible, no volverá. Te apresuran, interrumpiendo constantemente mientras comes para limpiar tus platos y traernos la factura. Incluso le pedí al camarero que dejara de apurarnos, has visitado nuestra mesa 5 veces en los últimos 5 minutos y él respondió ‘sí porque tenemos una gran cola afuera’. Viniendo de un campo de trabajo de “Hospitalidad”, este lugar nos hizo más que incómodos. No volverá, un montón de mejores lugares de sushi en Londres, créeme.

By awarding 1 star it implies that they did something well, they didn't. Where do I start? * Eat Tokyo are known for their sushi, but I wasn't expecting raw chicken. * We were a party of 4, but after ordering, 3 meals came and then the unlucky fourth was told they had run out of their dish. * The men's bathroom had no running water, but don't worry, you could go behind the counter to wash your hands. This place needs shutting down.

Good food terrible staff, don’t recommend coming at lunch

Our first time trying the place, we went with a friend who was a regular customer, we were served first half of our order quite quick, the food was absolutely tasty and we were satisfied. HOWEVER, the kitchen team seemed to miss the other half orders, we waited for 30mins, asked the staffs 3 times and it took them 15 more mins to handle the situation, but ridiculously, our foods somehow went missing again! It was until we wanted to cancel the order, the manager came talking to us, the foods were then arrived in just 5mins, so it was obvious that our orders were missed. As a person who also work in hospitality, I saw a serious communication problem within the team, totally inconsistent! Please improve it or else, you will loose a lot of customers, especially regular customers.

What’s the perfect lunch for a day full of shopping? EAT TOKYO. The salmon don I got was exactly what I had in mind. Amazing.

Service by staff was good, they are all attentive. But the chirashi I ordered is disappointing, the fish are not fresh, it’s hard and also the colour shows it’s been frozen for a while. The rice and seaweed salad was good.

Nice food (except from my small green vermicelli) which was a cold and tasteless dish for which I had different expectations. The fried pumpkin were spot on. Once inside, it seems like you're going to be teleported to Japan for a little moment. The place is apparently well known and it's easy to get stuck into a queue for a good ten/fifteen minutes.

Never been to Japan but this place was excellent.

Good value bento meals, service is pretty alright, not the fastest, very busy branch, but otherwise good customer service! My go-to place if I'm looking for an affordable Japanese meal!

In love, every time i go there whether is alone or with friends, I leave happy like a baby. O love Their bento boxes 🍱 their top top!!! Sexy for a date to enjoy eat with your love ones!!! Damnn so happy each time I’m in there ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Great food, great service, can definitely recommend checking this place out the staff were really friendly and helpful when ordering too

a great little Japanese resutrant that has a authentic feel, there's a large variety of options and the portions are very generous for a good price.

The staff were nice and the food was delivered quickly. Although , some of the food wasn’t fresh and tasted sour , we were given replacements and got to order something else.

Cosy, intimate, traditional. Reasonably priced and if you don't have a table, you can wait outside in the queue to be seated.

i usually always come here!! it’s a nice place and i enjoy eating here. the prices are well and the food tastes nice. overtime, their customer service has gotten really bad. when i first went here for dinner, the service was really nice. (this was years ago). i went recently and it’s gotten pretty bad:(. honestly, there’s this man who has black hair (straight) and kinda brushed to the side , lightish brown skintone, and maybe around 5’6? he’s insanely rude. almost everytime i come in here he’s either moody, getting angry at someone or is very pissy. which ruins the mood because his behaviour is very poor. other then that everything is nice here. a worker there whose name is Kim is very nice! kim greets us with a warm friendly smile and makes sure that everything is great. the man who i mentioned who is grumpy all the time needs to maybe learn some manners when dealing with customers…!!! the food is nice here. but the man’s attitude put me off my appetite. :P

Great food, too much choice to go into details, byt all fresh made,great service and very reasonable pri ed

Amazing authentic food! Will come back

Son muy atentos y amables, y también respetuosos,la comida es deliciosa, y mucha cosa a escoger. Por otra parte el local es bonito y acogedor. Sin ninguna duda volveré

The food is good and authentic, but it is super chaotic inside, and the queue to get inside is very, very, very long. They need to be creative with their seating system or expand.

Food was brilliant! Staff were very polite! We liked our chicken teriyaki and B20 from the menu. It was a bit crowded but I guess this is to be expected when going at good restaurants in Soho. Would definitely go again:

DO NOT COME TO THIS RESTAURANT, THEY CHARGE 13% SERVICE CHARGE AND KEEP IT, THE STAFF DOESNT GET ANY OF THIS SERVICE CHARGE, ILEGAL AND DISGRACEFUL

Do not go there if you respect people working in hospitality. They charge 13% sc and nothing goes to the staff, all to the owner. Very disrespectful!!! Please avoid!

DO NOT EAT HERE. This restaurant adds a 13% service charge to your bill, and not a single penny goes to the staff. Management keeps the entire amount for themselves. This is misleading, unethical, and potentially illegal. Customers are led to believe they’re tipping the people who serve them the ones actually doing the work but that money never reaches them. It’s a blatant exploitation of both guests and staff, and it shows a complete lack of integrity. Support places that are honest and treat their team with respect. This isn’t one of them.

This is a lovely restaurant, food is amazing, especially for the price! Just make sure you arrive early as there can be a queue

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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

Quick, cheap, quality. Worth the queue!

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

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

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.

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

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!!

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

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 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!

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

Delicious, delicious, delicious

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

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!

Sábado por la noche en el Soho y dónde más ir... ¡Pero come Tokio! Llevo años viniendo aquí y nunca decepciona. Buena comida japonesa auténtica. El restaurante siempre tiene un zumbido y siempre muy ocupado. Nunca he tenido una mala comida y esta visita no fue la excepción.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.
