Fantastic food, and service is brilliant. Definitely come here for a week night treat.

Eat Tokyo is the best restaurant! The food is always super fresh and delicious. Will be coming back again! 10/10 recommend

We love eating at Eat Tokyo Golders Green G2 Shabu Shabu Restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious and the staff are so helpful, cheerful and kind. Special mention to the manager Jolina for being so warm and welcoming. And a very special thank you to Gina who is always friendly, cheerful and super helpful. Gina’s kindness and helpfulness is one of the reasons we keep coming back to the restaurant for our regular meals and for our special occasions.

Absolutely delicious shabu shabu. Food was so fresh and so tasty!

My family and I have been coming to the Eat Tokyo Golders Green G2 Shabi Shabu Restaurant at least twice a week for the past few years. The food is simply amazing and the staff are so wonderful, friendly and helpful. The staff make it a point to make us feel so welcome. Our special thanks to Jolina, Gina, Krishna, Ming and Jim for always making our dining experience so warm and special!

Food was nice and cheap especially they have Monday Promotion now. The service also very good. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. Will come back again to try more traditional Japanese food here

Went to the Golders green restaurant,( the one next to the shop) the woman sitting people down was very rude and unpleasant. That put us off do we decided to go the the other restaurant around the corner. The waitress lady with mask and glasses was the most pleasant thing at that restaurant she was very informative and friendly . Food very bland and lack of any flavor. Would not visit again or recommend to anyone

We came to G2 for Shabu shabu and it’s really disappointing. There are not too many choice from the menu and not tasty at all. On Google review, it said opening time is from 11:30am to 10.30pm. But it closed at 3pm for lunch. We arrived around 1:40pm with 5 people including a 4 year kid. The time is quite rush to complete the hot pot within 1 hour.

Food is always authentic and delicious. I’ve been having many times and never been disappointed.

Absolute love it! The food, the service, how efficient the staff is. Just my favourite restaurant ever

Gina was very pleasant and observant she took really good care of us. Jim was also very helpful. Thank you for the lovely experience.

Food was delicious and filling. The service was very good. Will definitely be back!

Quick service and extensive menu.

The exterior and interior look just like Japan! It was quite large but crowded. All the staff seemed to be Asian. There didn't seem to be any Japanese staff. There are all kinds of Japanese food on the menu, There are so many menu items! Sushi, rice bowls, pork cutlets, curry, etc. I've been craving sushi lately so I can't help it. I ordered a sushi set. That said, I didn't expect much In fact, it was delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think this is cheap at £12. My husband and daughter chose tonkotsu ramen. Apparently this was also delicious. Japanese food at affordable prices I'm so happy to have found a restaurant where I can enjoy it so easily! ! It seems like it's a chain store, so there seem to be a lot of stores. I have a feeling that I will use it regularly♪ If you miss Japanese food in London, please come visit.

One of my go-to spots, offering affordable meals with decent taste. There’s another location just a minute away under the same owner, but with slight menu differences. I usually come to this one, but recently discovered the other offers a bento with foie gras fried rice, pear, egg rolls, and black cod—hitting all my favorite flavors. Both are worth trying!

The best and most authentic Japanese restaurant I have eaten outside of Tokyo and Japan. Its is a show!

Average Japanese restaurant, not amazing, not terrible, but value for money. However, must be inflation, the portion has gone down and the quality was not as good as it used to be. In particular, the tuna used in the sushi roll was Dark Grey. Will I come back? Yes, only because it is cheap and a quick eat. Would I come for special occasions? No.

Best food and the staff was amazing. I will eat here again.

Absolute value for money. I had the bentonite box which had a generous portion of mains as well as sides along with a broth - all for under 10 quid

Good eel bento and very delicious soft shell crab, generous portion size and value for money. Bento comes with a miso soup. Restaurant is with a Japanese toilet too ! Street parking may be tricky, it’s 5 minutes walk from Golders Green Station. They served a super value for money buffet shabu shabu too.

So delicious!! Been here multiple times. Each time I’m very Happy. Today I tried the generous offer “daily lunch special! Bento box+ Ramen( your choice of broth) The way it was presented - it made me feel as if I were back in Lovely Japan. Staff is 5 Star Kitchen staff is 5 Star Ambiance is 5 Star Food I’d always prepared Beautifully and Delicious!!!

I ordered buffet shabu. The quality of the food was ok. Sushi made from pieces of fish and the tastes was so-so. I got it because it's buffet. Don't expect too much. By the way, inside restaurant was quite dark. The service was very good but the manager was too nice. She talked to customers a lot. If you want to just eat, this will be ok.

Nothing more and nothing less from all the all you can eat options

Authentic Japanese food served in every bite! Prices were great and portion sizes even better! Have always been impressed with EatTokyo and will keep coming back!

Quick order service, very authentic and fresh Japanese food with loads of options to choose from. The wasabi was one of the best & strongest I've ever had, their sushis are under £3-4, miso soup is complimentary and the croquettes in their bento box were crispy & nicely cooked. Couldn't recommend enough :)

We ordered sushi and it was really tasty. You can definitely recommend it. But I still have to deduct a star because I find it a bit cheeky that an additional 10% tip is added to the bill. This is always on every page of the menu, but I still find this approach a bit cheeky. We also didn't think it was that cheap. In the end we paid €50 for everything and it wasn't particularly well presented.

The food and service are very good. Seatings are a bit cramped but I guess that's what one expects in a popular area in North London.

Nothing is fresh at this restaurant compared to the other Eat Tokyo in the city. This is the worst, without a doubt. Ordering food that couldn't be eaten and looked expired. The staff seemed angry that I couldn't eat what I ordered, as if it were my fault. You cannot force people to eat expired food. The bad experience of feeling uncomfortable because of the atmosphere after that is that I would never return nor would I recommend.

The oil temperature of fried food must be well controlled. Different ingredients require different temperatures. This is basic. Please pay attention. The squid is oily The chicken wings are deep-fried until they turn black.

A superb dine experience, came in as group of 9. Recommended authentic Japanese taste, the food is undoubtedly 5*! Also a highlight, customer service is amazing and beyond satisfactory — they are very swift to attend your needs — upon entering the door they would assist you find table, take your order timely and served your food without waiting! [not even more than 15mins we sat and the food was served despite of full house] Went around 20:00H, the place was full and crowded. Only that, 3* for the “atmosphere” as the place offer very limited seats and cramped space. P.S. the menu is as thick as a book so I wasn’t able to take photos.

We have been dining with Eat Tokyo for long time at both branches in Golder Green. Recently at this branch for the last several visit since last year, has changed a lot. Service there like a robot, no human working. No greeting , no conversation, Rushing you to leave and they always don't take reservation. we noticed that the food portion sometime more sometime less of the same item. We just feel like don't want to here any more the other branch was better food, service eventhough they serve the same foods apart from hot pot, sometime you got icy meat sometime the meat colour different ,darker and they blame on us that you order just normal meat!! (we normally order but colour look fresher). The Manager can not face the customer directly. Shame.

When I am drunk at home, I know how to make better sushi rolls then what they did last night. It's not an Authentic Japanese at all, or maybe it is if u never went to Japan. I had the buffet section, which was only 3 pages of a big menu, for a price of £29 included of service charge. Excluding drinks!! It's a lot for what I eat.

Everything was excellent 👌🏾 I would recommend this restaurant to everyone 😊

Fine. Nothing to complain about. A good variety of Japanese food.

Been on my list for a while, and I can say its worth it. Quality of ingredients is high, and despite a very traditional system to request more, staff come to you frequently so you can order more. For context you will have a starting order, then you can order more as you go when staff are about / when you need. They were pretty quick and you didn't have to wait long much for most things. Unlimited sauce as well, ponzu, sesame, and some chilli/radish I cant recall. Meat and shrimp quality was good, yeah it's thin cut, but good marbling and unlimited anyways. Sushi roll was pretty good, but the rest of the sushi are just ok, but thats expected for the price range and the shabu shabu is the main star anyways. You will have to pay extra for different broths. (£6 for half and half) for table so not bad really. Service is best out of all the eat tokyo's in london I've visited. Timing wise I think it's more than enough and theres a good selection of ingredients to choose from. It can and will get busy but don't let that put you off, truly great experience.

Wagyu nabe £24.50 is not exactly what I expected Wagyu beef, extremely disappointed.

Our favourite japanese restaurant in London. Fresh fooda and everything tastes amazing. Good value for money and most of all, friendly & polite staffs.

The food is great. Top quality. Served fresh. Inexpensive. Great variety. The staff are super friendly and professional. Best Japanese food place I have been to. Top choice and never fails to satisfy. It's like an actual Japanese restaurant from Japan. The only problem is the queue time. But they have a booking system a day in advance. It's only natural as it has a high amount of people who love the place

The unlimited shabu-shabu was the worst meal I’ve had in London. Awful selection of meats to begin with. When the beef arrived at the table, it was paper thin and incredibly dry—almost like ham? Once cooked, it’s completely inedible as the meat is tough and chewy, indicating very bad quality meat. The sushi is not much better: Only rolls are included and it is quite shocking how poorly they’re made. Oh, and no dipping sauce for the meat (besides soy sauce) was given. Laughable when compared to any other proper shabu-shabu place. I feel bad because the service was excellent.. but the food was just immensely awful. Oh, and the toilets were absolutely rank—do NOT use them. It was like a flood down there and it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for a while.

Amazing value as always with eat Tokyo.

Tried the all you can eat shabu shabu today, and I did not recommend it at all. We were served with the starter plate - a mixture of vegetables and seafood. We also ordered the sushi (which doesn’t taste good as their usual sushi in other Eat Tokyo branches) and a small salmon rice on top. I have finished the rice with a teaspoon of rice left and the waiter refused to take away our finished rice, shouted “why” and demanded us to finish the last bite and then they unwillingly took it away. The waiters were kept staring to see how we are in progress with the starter plate and rushed us to leave when the time is up. Felt like we were put under surveillance and they are very eager to charge us extra even with the untouched wasabi left in the bowl. The beef and pork was mediocre at best, the seafood wasn’t fresh as well but yeah 27 quid each for a 2 hr hotpot was okay, the staff needs a bit of training and treat your customers better. Almost wanted to ask to waive the service charge as the customer service was beyond par.

My first ever 1 star review. We went for £27 shabu shabu, this honestly my worst one in my life. Really low quality of food, the pictures of the menu is very misleading, you will only get really cheap beef, pork and sushi, the prawns were mushy, crab sticks were tasteless, we left after 45 mins and we had 60% of food untouched. By the way, soup base you have to pay on top, it taste like water, let alone the dipping, I paid 50p on top for spicy sauce, I’m pretty sure it’s mixed with ketchup. No one even bothered to ask “how was it” so if you go for that, good luck.

Great value for money and the quality of the food is excellent; food is served very quickly. I love their Japanese potato salad, it's so creamy and crunchy. I always order a Salmon Teriyaki Bento, and the price is so affordable! Highly recommend Eat Tokyo, it's one of my favourite Japanese restaurants in London👍💯

Came here in a group of five persons on a Sunday evening. The place was quite packed and fortunately we had made a reservation in advance. Heard that this restaurant was the only Eat Tokyo restaurant in London that offers Shabu-Shabu. We came for the Wagyu beef purposely. The sake price was quite reasonable.

Good food, great value and good service! Will definitely come again!

Found through Tik Tok, such a lovely little gem. Staff are so attentive & kind, could not fault them one bit. We did the Shabu Shabu for £27 pp, however this doesn’t actually include the broth (which is hilarious because that’s the entire dish), so for half and half it was £7 extra. They also have 6 sushi roll options however you are only allowed 1 per table, again not too sure why? Everything came out very quickly and they topped up the broths multiple times throughout the meal. We did not feel rushed at all & were able to order multiple times of extra items. Partner ordered the brown sugar milk tea which was great and tasted unreal. Menu isn’t as extensive other hot pot places but their a la carte menu looked huge! They offer bento boxes, ramen etc which looked great too! Would definitely visit again.

We walked in on a Saturday morning, everyone was friendly and the shabu shabu was great. It’s all you can eat including a special sushi roll, and unlimited meat, veggies and sides. Definitely get the inari sushi, gunkan and agedashi tofu!

Really affordable hotpot place.

This is a pretty good Japanese restaurant. Their food is mostly good - my favourites are the bentos (especially the eel and sushi one). The service is normally quite good. There are normally queues for dinner at both Eat Tokyos in Golders Green, the other one is normally faster as they don’t have hotpot. My only complaint is the all you can eat hotpot. For the price, you only get a limited choice of food, which is generally low quality. The rice with salmon on top is a scam. Soup base is not free! And don’t forget about the service charge. It’s not generally worth the price.

Amazing quality food amazing value. Really great shrimp which is rare in London suburbs. Meat quality was okay but bottomless so can't go wrong. Other stuff included in the shabushabu like karaage chicken and sushi were also amazing. Really reccomend!!

Our family already has a tradition of ordering something every week. And every time it is very tasty. We like this establishment, as for my taste the most delicious sushi here.

Always good food. Great food and price. Our favourite! Bogyos

Today I stopped in for a very brief lunch, and I'm sorry I did. When I asked for a table after entering in, the manager in charge responded, "You have to order right now," with a grumpy face, rather than greeting me or even saying hello. I work in hospitality too, but if I treated my guests like this, I would be fired right away. After ordering my food, which was average only (the ramen was extremely bland and the tempura prawn looked very artificial, like the one you can buy frozen anywhere), all I saw was the same "welcoming" manager passing by, checking his watch and then measuring how much food I had left. Eventually, I made the decision to get my ramen for takeaway. The kind staff brought me up two boxes. Alright, I got the message, I'll pack this myself. Let me tell you something, it's difficult to pack a full portion of ramen without creating a big mess. And after all of this, they had the courage to expect me to pay a service charge. We have now visited this location three times in the last year, and each time has been worse than the last. What a waste of money. This establishment used to be fantastic when Lisa was the general manager; they had friendly staff, smiling faces, no pressure, and delicious food. Try the Eat Tokyo location across from the station if you'd like; the cuisine is much excellent and everyone is friendly.

Not my usual pick, but it was very good. If you are unfamiliar, you just need to be a bit brave and get stuck in.

Upon entering, there is a unique fragrance of simmered soy sauce and rice vinegar, which is characteristic of traditional Japanese restaurants. The signature dishes of Shabu Shabu, it’s a kind of fusion with Hong Kong-style hotpot. Sushi, and sashimi with rice are quite authentic. The ramen is just average. #KisskidsFamily

I want to give a special shout out to our waiter who served us Krishna- he was amazing, patient and dealt with our lighthearted fun. We celebrated a friend’s birthday here with the £27 all you can eat shabu, shabu, sushi and other goodies. SO worth it and such a bang for your buck. Please do try it, you won’t regret it! Recommend the fried soft tofu in a special sauce, kaarage was also delicious. They also serve bubble tea which I did not get to try but would love to upon another visit

Wow!! This restaurant is bustling and brilliant! I visited here with 3 other friends and we each got the £27 all you can eat buffet hotpot. We ate essentially everything on the menu and we ate an INCREDIBLE amount of food. Everything on the menu is delicious, from the sushi, to the meats, to the mushrooms to the noodles!! I absolutely love their Udon and their seaweed! I may have eaten more authentic/more expensive Japanese food, but who cares when it's this tasty and this cheap!! There is a 90 minute timer on your reservation, but this is absolutely reasonable. The venue is always package and yet there is plenty of space. The tables each have built-in heaters for the Hotpots, for you to heat/cook your food. The staff are lovely, understanding and swift to serve! Genuinely 9.9/10 I definitely recommend here!!!

Food is very accurate and tasty Service is not the main focus though, atmosphere is "come eat and go" like Japan:)

Lightly taste made you full and comfortable shabu shabu .fresh food

Great spot for Bento boxes and reasonably priced sushi. Got the pot in this instance and was slightly underwhelmed.

Not authentic and not worth even 27pound. I'd rather pay double and have good food. Check my food blog for the details.

Food was disgusting. Was served a noodle in a dirty bowl stained and burn dumplings

Good value shabu shabu deal, and it's nice there are sushi options included. Place does get busy so it's worth booking ahead.

food and service extremely average. limited menu definitely not worth the price as i’ve been to amazing all you can eat places with the same price. wish i never tried it.

first time going , the all.u can eat for 2 hours was a good price n deal Food fresh and making it cook in the boil.was a good experience. Little tip, if you haven't done it before best watch a few videos and don't be shy to ask.... as I didn't but got some good help and tips from a regular who I met.

Go here a lot. The best japanese restaurant in London!

I came for the all you can eat First of all there’s barely any options of food Secondly I had hot pot and the smell of the steam was disgusting as well as the flavour I was told I had to pay extra 4£ to add flavour to the hot pot otherwise it would be only water but I think water would’ve been better as I got sick of that smell and flavour The sushi was warm and I was told it was because the rice was warm (I’ve eaten a lot of sushi in my life and that’s not how it should be) Overall the food was just really bad and I didn’t enjoy it at all

Great Sushi selection and also they offer decent tasty sushi. The service cancelled improve, specially how they behave towards customers. Will definitely visit again.

Súper recomendado 👌, la comida muy rica ,el servicio muy bueno ,llego todo muy rápido. El buffet se elige de la página 1 a 6. Tenían mucha variedad Volveremos a comer.

Be prepared to wait a long time, up to an hour at peak times. Best to call up and make a reservation.

The food quality is good. So many varieties of food to choose from the menu for the buffet. The service from staffs is good but feels like there are a bit rushing. The meat slices are too thick and tough. If they are a lot thinner I would enjoy this meal even more.

Consistently excellent Japanese dishes with an amazing choice. Thanks Eat Tokyo!!

I saw this restaurant on instagram for their all-you-can-eat buffet (27£) and decided to give it a try. Well for starters, since it’s an all you can eat buffet, I thought there would be a wider variety of food but was disappointed with the limited choices. Honestly the service was pretty slow because when I first ordered, everything came out gradually and when we ordered the second and third time, it took quite some time for things to be served which I found unusual since it’s literally raw ingredients for shabu shabu. Also, whenever we wanted to order, it took some time for me to get the waiter’s attention as our table was at the far end corner but to be honest, someone should’ve been on standby since it wasn’t a busy crowd. For the food, I didn’t expect much since it’s a buffet so I don’t have much complaints about that other than the pork being tough - I would suggest not to order it.

Vegetables and fresh food are not fresh. Mushrooms, crab sticks and vegetables are of very poor quality and not fresh. Salmon don gives a lot of rice but very little salmon, as shown in the picture below. Salmon not fresh like in the picture but I use Iphone 14 pro Max.

We came here for the all you can eat buffet, made the reservation a day ahead and was reminded with their dining hours, totally understandable on that. However, we are slightly disappointed with the food as the selections are limited, shabu shabu has only 2 options of meat to be selected. The shabu shabu also does not come with any flavours, if you wanted to have different flavour of soup base you need to pay. They even charge on requesting extra wasabi. Our first order of sushi does not have a decent portion of wasabi so we asked for more, the lady mentioned to us that you will get it with your sushi, she will charge us if we requested for more wasabi the second round. Lucky enough she gave us free on the first request of wasabi. We felt very disappointed at the services. We ordered 5 portion of beef and when it arrived on our table, we asked if the beef was 5 portion, the waitress went to reply us that is only 3 portion and wanted us to finish it before she gave us the rest of the orders. We also felt unwelcomed to order food, remember we went for "All You Can Eat". It's so hard to get the attention of the staffs as they were all not nearby the dining tables, food take awhile to be served too. Most importantly, the atmosphere gave us the feeling of that it is wrong if we keep ordering for more...

Oh wow. Shabu-Shabu is the best!! Great choices and a lot of fun cooking a range of foods in the broth. Will be going back

This place I didn't knee before, blew my mind. Everything was good. Each and single dish. Highly recommended

As an East Asian who loves hotpot, I would say Eat Tokyo offers the worst hotpot/shabu shabu in London ever. Green tea and soup tasted like water. Very limited food choices for Shabu Shabu . The type of lettuce they offered apparently was not suitable for hotpot. Quality of beef and pork was utterly low. Never again.

No gut. Phục vụ ko tôt chut nào

Though the restaurant decor was decent here, the customer service was sadly the opposite and the same applied for the food. Yaki Soba was a small portion and the salmon fish in the W Shioyaki Bento box, which is a regular dish we ordered at the other Eat Tokyo branch further down the road, was not grilled at all per the menu description. It was boiled instead. As far as the customer service goes, the waiting staff were rather unapproachable and unfriendly. It felt as though we had stepped into Soho's Chinatown when requesting something with politeness and received a slam on the table in response. A rather disappointing experience overall and putting this next to the Eat Tokyo branch further down in Golders Green North End Road, there is no competition between these two. You suddenly wonder why the G2 branch is rarely as busy. Better off visiting the other branch nearby as their food quality and prices are far more reasonable and you have friendlier staff who do their best to accommodate customers during the busiest hours.

Such a great place to have Shabu-Shabu. Also love their Sushi branch which is just around the corner.

If you don't know, you don't know.

Lovely place with great service

Uhmmm. Great shabu shabu and other Japanese food

Bustling spot, huge menu - nice staff, can't go wrong, decent for veggies and vegans too

First time at a hot pot place, and I saw this on Instagram for £27 all you can eat for 2 hours. It's definitely a place to go with friends or loved ones .

This isn't a Japanese run restaurant, they are Chinese and to the trained eye, it shows. Very sub-par experience.

I know this place few years ago. It was good. That is why I want to come back to try the hotpot which we never try here before. But I’m not happy with the service. The food is normal, the price is fair. We order four salmon rice bowl at beginning. After we finish it. We was asked for finish two of them to get another one. Why my friend need to wait me to finish my dish then order another one? To save your company profit? The service is changed here. I’m not happy.
