Japanese Restaurant Seto in Camden

Delicious food and great atmosphere! Highly recommend for authentic Japanese food in Camden

My favourite ramen place in London!

The food was impeccable. Very unheard of to have a meal for around £10-£12 in London these days, especially of this quality. Service was attentive, helpful and friendly too. Highly impressed and will be coming back.

In the words of Francesco, this ramen is the BEST in London. The ramen is good and is made fresh for you on the spot. Jasmine tea has a great herbaceous taste and one of the best teas I have ever sipped, sampled, enjoyed 😉 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 also it's very conviently located in camden. The service is very friendly and accommodating. Everything is unprocessed. The patrons here are often Japanese, which is always a good sign that this restaurant is an authentic taste of Japan in the heart of London. The whole experience was most excellent, and this is the 5th time of visiting, and we will continue to come. There is a good choice for vegans, vegetable ramen you can see in the attached photo. Thank you Seto!!!

Relatively busy at 7pm on a Friday but service was still great! Ordered the Negi Chicken Ramen which was so, SO delicious. The clear broth was refreshing yet super umami + flavourful. Only £11.50 but the portion was quite generous. I also ordered cold tofu as a starter which was a little plain but was a good portion size. Would definitely come back again 🤍

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a fantastic ramen restaurant on Camden High Street, and I have to say, the experience exceeded my expectations. The food was absolutely delicious and incredibly affordable, making it worth the wait. The service was also commendable, adding to the overall positive dining experience. This ramen spot is an absolute must-visit if you're in the area. Just a heads up: you need to make a reservation to secure a table, but trust me, it's well worth it. Don't miss out on this gem when you're in Camden!

Especially lunch time, the price are very affordable and actually more than that. We ordered three lunch menu with two person, Katsuni set, salmon don and ankake ramen, all of menu we ordered we very tasty and enough amount, so overall, we are very satisfied with this restaurant, SETO. We will come back here again soon for sure:)

Food was incredible. The pickles were a highlight. We had salmon gyoza and seafood ramen. So delicious and great value! Thanks! Would be nice to have some music on in the restaurant for ambience.

Incredible homemade food, not a fancy japanese but very authentic home cooked food, i have been to japan many times and its exactly like a traditional japanese diner, very affordable and very tasty highly recommend.

I've been wanting to come here for some time as many ramen lovers always say this joint known for shoyu and miso ramen is worth a visit. They are not wrong. This is simplicity of Japanese food and exceptionally tasty. Arriving at opening time, there was already people arriving too. This is a post-work and regular eats place for people. Part of this reason is very much the costs which are exceptionally reasonable. Miso ramen and a beer for £15.00. Service was polite and careful and understated which I liked. Miso ramen is all I had and it was done as one would expect with much flavour. Again, mo frills with just fresh bean sprouts l, a few green beans and some well made chasu pork. Somewhere I would come if I was in a hurry, and wanted to support something independent, while not costing too much, then Seto is a good shout. Thanks very much.

Our family love there, and we enjoyed ourselves every single time for the food.

Delicious food and wonderful service!

It was the finest Japanese restaurant in London. I visited with my friends, craving authentic Japanese cuisine. While there are many Japanese restaurants in London, it's often difficult to find ones that truly capture the authentic flavors. However, this particular restaurant serves genuine Japanese dishes. I highly recommend trying everything on the menu, but the fried aubergine in ginger sauce was particularly delightful. The gyoza was also delicious; you can't afford to miss it. Additionally, the staff speak Japanese fluently, creating a true izakaya atmosphere. If you miss Japan, it's the perfect restaurant to visit.

Such a lovely small and casual Japanese restaurant. The food was delicious, authentic and tasted so homemade I felt like I was invited to come to eat to someone's home. Portions are huge, and prices are great for London! The gyozas tasted amazing, the teriyaki tofu was lovely and full of flavour. I ordered the chicken teriyaki that came with miso soup and an option of salad or grilled veggies. I chose veggies and portion was really generous and tasted fresh. My partner ordered a ramen bowl and it was massive and delicious. Service was friendly and fast. Can't wait to come back

I feel disappointed for the quality of Kara-age and miso soup. ( That's the heart and basic of Japanese cuisine...) The red ginger tempura was unique and good though. I didn't feel welcomed in this restaurant somehow.

We waited for our dishes for more than 30 mins. Unfortunately, the karaage chicken was tasteless -which was recommended by the waiter- what a disappointment. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

Poor food quality, only grilled salmon was delicious

Really a hidden gem, stuck in the early 2000s, the prices reflect this too. It's now a go to dinner spot for myself

最低レベルの接客。ここまで酷い気分になったのは初めてです。胃が痛い…

This restaurant is a Japanese gem. Service is amazing!!! Especially Yumi-san and Marie-san. All the staff work very hard and the food is AMAZING. Please order the gyoza and try the teriyaki chicken and tuna nigiri. But all dishes are amazing. I go once a week and I have never been disappointed. I LOVE SETO!!!!!!!!!!!

Great and authentic food, polite an quick service, definitely recommended!

Suddenly pops up and asks us to settle the bill. Splitting a bill is not an option. Food quality is way better than most of the restaurants in the UK.

The food was delicious, and the service was so polite and helpful. Would recommend reserving a table before visiting here

First visit to Seto and I already want to go back. They surely know how to elevate simple classics. Loved every bit of it.

Nice food for a really good price! Cheapest place we’ve eaten during the trip, but one of the best ones. Loved the gyoza and the chicken ramen here. The place looks a bit dated, but we didn’t really mind.

Great food and service. Price was excellent too 👌

Nice quiet spot, the food was amazing, would totally recommend!

excellent food! ramen, gyoza are soooo good. price is so reasonable too!

Real Japanese food, cheap n cheerful

Très bon restaurant japonais ramen, curry, plateau de tempura sans oublié les takoyakis sont tous délicieux. Le rapport qualité prix est imbattable.

Very nice Japanese ramen at reasonable price In traditional setting.

Authentic Japanese food at affordable prices. I ordered a stew tripe, octopus balls, and a tonkotsu ramen. The tripe was very flavourful. The octopus balls were freshly made and delicious. While the noodles were probably externally sourced they were al dente, the broth of the ramen was tasty and it was overall an excellent bowl of ramen. The service was very attentive and I would highly recommend this place. While I was there, more than half of the customers were Japanese so it says a lot!

Seto était une de mes adresses japonaises préférées lorsque j’habitais à Londres. Nous y allions notamment pour leurs délicieux gyozas et gomoku yakisoba super généreux ! N’hésitez pas à y passer si jamais vous êtes à Camden.

Love this little place. Very authentic and tasty. The only down side is limited opening times.

The salmon gyoza is so good, it would bring a tear to a glass eye.

This place has a lovely homey feel to it. The portions are quite sizable (had a side before the ramen and struggled) The food is quite tasty (i liked both the chicken karaage and the tonkotsu ramen) Service is a bit slow (at least when they’re busy) which is not an issue, but to be kept in mind if one just wants a speedy meal.

I finally tried this place that was on my to do list for a long time. I was not deceived. Although from outside it looks average, the quality of food was amazing. A very simple menu, all freshly cooked and with fair prices. The tripes were very nice, octopus ball too. The salmon gyoza freshly made and the menchi katsu really tasty. The service was good. I ll go back to try the ramen.

I loved the authenticity of this family restaurant with delicious food which I’d heard the closest to food in Japan in taste. everything we ordered was top notch in both taste and presentation. Can’t wait to go back again!

Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing people.

We just left and loved this restaurant, whether you are out with mates or want to dim sum lights for an aromatic night this place just woks. We couldn't believe the price either it was kimcheap, and I'll never gyoza anywhere else again. - Jay

Food is over salty and mains come in a sauce that feels just like meat fat and additional salt

Enjoyed my lunch. Will visit again when I'm in London.

Low key gem in camden , top notch , will be back again

No frills spot for Japanese fare - the sashimi is excellent

このあたりいくつか日本食を食べる場所がありますが、いちばん気楽にはいれて、手頃な値段で十分満足できると思います。おばさんが個性的で面白い。気を使わせないいい人です。

Amazing food and cheap, especially for seafood.

Dumplings are authentic and tasty. The wrapper of dumplings is not so thin, chewy and tender. It reminded me one of the popular gyoza restaurants in Tokyo, Okei at Iidabashi.

Very tasty and excellent value for money. Would highly recommend

Ci ha attirato l'attenzione per la presenza di tanti giapponesi all'interno del locale..e abbiamo pensato: sarà buono..ed è stato così ottimo

Authentic Japanese place feels very cosy, had great ramen at very affordable prices !

One of the best Japanese restaurants that I had while in London.

I've been to this restaurant once before and it was ok. Yesterday I had to meet a friend near by so we decided to go in. This time though, was awful, the worst fried noodles I've ever tried and, to make things worse, today I am also in and out of the toilet. The price was also a joke, £75 for a few rolls and some gyoza, plus the inedible noodles. The lady came with a hand written piece of paper to the table that only her could understand and just made up the price I reckon. No receipt was provided in the end. Avoid the place, unless you want to pay an unfair price only to be sick the next day. Very disappointing.

Fantastic place. Amazing food. Thank you.

Food has been changed a lot this time as I have been visited this restaurant for over 3 years, especially the rice, it is not the sushi rice now but tasteless. The old lady who was always in the shop with long hair was really rude, she collected the dishes right after we have been putting them down in less than 5 seconds, and always putting the bill on the table before we finished our desserts and drinks without asking. It has been happening for a few times in this half year, hopefully the shop can maintain the manners that the Japanese should have normally.

Very good miso and gyosa, the price is good and the environment is cosy.

Discovered when I walked by it and decided to try it. Very basic and simple and very good.

Great value for money restaurant serving non-frills, homely, decent food 😋

The best Japanese family cuisine in London

A chilled restaurant with good, inexpensive and kindly served food. I loved that it doesn't cost you a fortune to have a decent meal. The salmon teriyaki and salmon gyoza were my favourite, the chicken ramen was also good, whereas I expected a bit more for the teriyaki chicken wings and the pork gyoza. Recommended!

The place is not the best: very dirty and ugly but the 4 stars are all for the food, which tastes great and it’s quite cheap for london’s standards

Authentic flavours. Had ala carte dish Menchi Katsu with £2 add-on to include miso soup and rice. Prices are very reasonable. Rice is top quality. £10 min spend per person

Off the high Street, food was very good, ramen not too salty, and served hot sake.スタッフは日本人です

ロンドンのちゃんとした日本食では、かなりコスパ良いと思います。10ポンド以下のラーメンがおいしいですし、お酒の種類もグッドです。 惜しむらくは、日本人の店員さんが現地化している感があり、やや接客に難がありました。接待では使いにくいかなと思います。とはいえ、私用で訪ねる分には高い評価であることに変わりありません。

Lovely food, very cheap for London

Our new favourite Japanese resto in Camden. Quiet and pleasant inside. Salmon teriyaki always comes with a big portion. Try calling first to book for a table.

Many, many good meals and sake here. Friendly, excellent value and good food in large portions. 5/5

a very affordable Japanese restaurant, london is quit expensive as a tourist, this was one of the few that were good and affordable

An affordable and unpretentious place for a good feast, and the Japanese clientele are proof the food is good!

Was hoping for something cheap and cheerful, but there was definitely no cheer here...

There are a lot of Rustic delicious cuisine of Japan. The dumplings are really good. The dumpling skin was thick and the meat juicy

It is showing opened on google, I came all the way here and it’s closed. Considering so many people use google for information, it would be logical for them to update their opening time when it’s changed, to avoid giving people such inconvenience. Update: Since the owner last reply, I decided to give another try and checked there Facebook page’s opening time, it say open from 12:00-15:00, got there 13:30 and it’s closed again. Been played around by this business twice, wasted my time and money to get there, it amazed me how an established business can be like this, I will never go back.

It's not the fanciest place but the food is very tasty, good sized portions, friendly staff.

Authentic Japanese cooking at reasonable prices, very very good.

Authentic Japanese restaurant. I really enjoyed the ramen. The noodles has really good texture. It was on the slightly saltier side but I still enjoyed it. It gets quite busy and there were lots of customers. The Japanese owners were really friendly. The restaurant isn’t wheelchair friendly though, there is single big step to enter the shop. I’d return to try the other dishes.

Definitely one of the best ramens I had (I have tried like 10 different ones before) everything perfect! You can taste fresh vegetables and all ingredients. Highly recommended 👍

Love their food! Amazing experience of some authentic Japanese food. まるで素晴らしい定食屋の味でした!！おすすめです

Sound Food Great Value with authentic taste

One of my all time favourite restaurants in London!!

This is 100% a authentic Japanese restaurant, and the food tastes just as it does in Japan. So delicious! Famous for Ramen but all food is great. I've been to many restaurants in Japan, trust me, this is the real deal.

Really authentic Japanese food with a very reasonable price. The best Ramen.

The moment I seen it it felt like real Japanese place and the food is amazing. I am so glad to find it!!

Fantastic food, attentive staff, good value for money.

I’m a regular customer not once have I been disappointed! 100% recommended!

The best local traditional Japanese.

みそラーメンのスープが完全にインスタントのサッポロ一番みそラーメンの味で、びっくりしました。。

It was very delicious and the price was reasonable. The atmosphere was calm and it made me want to come again by myself.

Takeaway. Great tonkatsu ramen and dumplings. Will def go back.

The staff are always friendly, and I keep coming back for the pork katsu! The gyoza are also some of the best I've had in London.

Amazing food, service and price. Definitely recommend! I had the miso ramen and tempura prawn, it was delicious

totally disappointing. i’ve been to japan several times. i bet that it’s not like my experience in japan. the pork and noodle are not homemade. they buy them in supermarkets. no egg provided with ramen. sashimi are not in good quality.

This is one of the best restaurants in Camden! The food is delicious and the staff are so welcoming and friendly, we truly had a wonderful dinner here. I am so so grateful to our waiter Satoshi. I accidently left my purse in the restaurant and was oblivious to this. Later that night he dropped the purse off to my door. He went out of his way to make sure it was returned to me. Thank you soooo much!!!!

Very tasty! Really great place with amazing food and service. Highly recommend

Great legit Japanese food at affordable prices,, and full of flavours. Love the ramen and the easygoing vibe.

pretty good (and classic) shoyu ramen, really good gyoza, great cozy japanese restaurant overall

Amazing Authentic Japanese Restaurant! ✴️✴️✴️✴️ lovely environment , warmly and kind boss lady with the BRAVO traditional Japanese food would make you wanna try everything on the menu or excluded. Watch out the OPENING Hours in advance, because the boss is really on time! Highly recommended the Salmon Gyoza!

Very kind staff, great food plus for a great price.

I had Negi Ramen with additional kimchi and deep fried pork set. It was so good :)

My favorite Japanese restaurant in London. I always try different items on the menu. They are really delicious. Run by a Japanese family.

Amazing food and Amazing service. Family friendly restaurant

Negi ramen was fantastic, the star is the homemade broth — like a warm hug 🤗. Will be back to try other items (seemed like miso ramen option unavailable until November)
