Hair found in the food my son was eating. It was his birthday. They offered to replace the dish, but we had eaten most of it, and lost our appetite after seeing the long light colored hair. Requested if they could discount the food instead, which the waiter agreed to. We were still charged the full cost. The lady working there (probably the manager) seems rude. Got a dirty look for politely asking for ice with the soft drink. The atmosphere seemed good, food was of good quality and fresh, but things felt disorganised. I don't mind spending money on good food, but I didn't see the value in it. The roles were average. Nothing special here. The waiter was nice or would have been a one star.

Another trip to Obon for my pescatarian mother. The greeting and service overall was awesome. We ordered a Yamato Platter (with a couple of mods) and soft drinks (tea, mineral water). Every member of staff (FOH, kitchen) was friendly and smiley but also natural in their demeanor. We weren't rushed, pushed anything and any "specific" requests were dealt with happily and with ZERO fuss. The fish was fresh-tasting, well presented and plentiful. It baffles me that this place is ONLY #4 in Kingston. When it comes to quality, value and service; this place is the best in London. Book your table! It is (quite rightly) very busy every night. I'm a waiter, done this sh!t for 32yrs with all sorts of companies. These guys do it better than I've ever seen. Polite, efficient, tasty, plentiful, amicable and reasonable on the wallet. I'm so happy this place is only 10min walk from my home.

Beautifully presented small plates (especially the delicious Kaiso salad!), sashimi and hamachi sushi & delicious sushi rolls. Particularly enjoyed the “Dragon” & soft shell crab sushi rolls & the takoyaki. Thank you to the chefs & floor staff for a fantastic meal! Cannot wait to get back and try the rest of the menu!

We made a table reservation a week before attending the branch in Kingston and received our confirmation email. We arrived 15 minutes earlier and were told that they couldn't find our names on the booking and were fully booked. There were only two couples in the restaurant and all the other tables were free.

Late Mothers Day treat for the old dear. 6pm booking. Quiet when we got there but filled to capacity over the next hour or so. Ordered the Yamato platter. A BIG, sharing plate consisting of pretty "safe" options (tuna, salmon, yellowtail). Swapped out the California Roll for Spider Crab at a very small surcharge. A perfect, staggered arrival of the food and it was DELICIOUS. Tender, fresh and well crafted. Huge bowl of pickled ginger and mountains of wasabi. I found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. Not my first time there, won't be my last.

Really good Japanese food which isn’t cheap but is great quality. Word of warning, you definitely need to book in advance (as it only seats around 20 people) which as far as I can tell can only be done by phone. We went for the set menu which had a refreshing salad and a wonderful fried tofu. The sashimi portion was generous with thick cuts and was simply delicious. The mains were also prepared very well and I regret going for more of the excellent sashimi instead of the hot dishes like the eel rice. Rounded off a great meal with some subtle Japanese ice cream. We would definitely return as there are quite a few things we’d like to try!

I'm afraid that I didn't get as far as being served here- I was so shocked at the rudeness of the service I felt it a must to review the restaurant as this is a key aspect for me. As a restaurant fanatic who sometimes eats as a solo diner, I've seen a real improvement in the last 10 years of the accommodations made for those eating alone.But Obon's staff seemed to find it funny and went out of their way to ignore me. They gave me a table in the corner, took away the cutlery from the outward facing seat so I could only face the wall and then proceeded not to serve me for almost 20 minutes. They served others before me, pointedly prioritising families and it was when I looked up to see the chefs behind the counter laughing (whether about this or something else I'm not sure) that I walked out. I was really disappointed and surprised and can't see myself returning sadly.

Hard to fault the authentic Japanese cuisine which was delicious, however not inexpensive and better value for money can be found elsewhere, such as Eat Tokyo in central London.

I have now visited every restaurant that sells sushi in Kingston, and Obon is my new favourite! I had the California and Ebiten maki rolls, and also tried the chicken gyoza and yakitori specials; each one being more delicious than the last. The fish was all fresh, the gyoza was extra crispy, and even the jasmine tea I had on the side was lovely, served in a beautiful teapot and matching teacups. The desserts were limited, but after trying both the green tea and uzu icecream, as well as the pancake, the taste more than makes up for it.

Kingston has its fair share of the high street chains but very few outstanding independents. Obon is one of them. Its unassuming location and interior belie the treats to be savoured within. Other reviewers have cited some of the stand-out dishes, but part of the fun is discovering the delights for yourself. All I can say is that this gem has changed my view of Japanese cuisine. It was busy when I visited on a wet and damp summer's Tuesday. So book ahead. You won't regret it.

I have to admit I never expected this place to be so good. Had exhausted many of the lunch places in Kingston and decided to take a punt on this Sushi joint. That was the best lunch I've had in years. Best sushi I've had anywhere in London, and the only one where I enjoyed every fish on the sashimi platter. Even the best other places will have Snapper or Yellowtail that tastes fishy, but the Obon fish is so fresh that you never get that. Also, my first review on Trip Advisor, and they totally deserve it!

いつもの行きつけのこちらへ。メニューは寿司、刺身、うどん、前菜と限られているのですが、何度行っても飽きません。そして絶対に外さない、安心の場所です‼

We were celebrating my adult son’s birthday. There were 8 of us. Only one other table was occupied, with a family of four. After about half an hour 2 other tables with couples arrived. We have been very many times before. We ordered our food and drink. The beers and soft drinks came quickly but It took an age before some tepid water to arrive. I asked for ice and we got a cupful. It took a while for some of the food to come consequentially 3 of us had finished The largest available platter of sashimi before my son was even served. Now let me tell you why! There was one member of staff waitressing and 1 chef. It became embarrassing as we were served to the detriment of the other diners. Then a table of 6 friends arrived to celebrate a teenage birthday and another table walked out. Bit by bit we got our food. I ordered more sashimi, I almost didn’t because our party was definitely given priority and It was embarrassing. I asked if I could bring a cake, they happily agreed. They provided plates and forks too. When the waitress wasn’t waitressing she was cooking! I felt so sorry for her. I was going to remove the service but I didn’t have the heart. WHO OWNS THIS PLACE NOW? They should be ashamed of themselves. When we first started coming, maybe 10 years ago it wasn’t like this. 3 owners on and they’re ruining their business. It is wholly unfair to have 1 member of staff serving cooking and doing the drinks whilst clearing and preparing bills too. The food, as always was DELICIOUS but we will never return, it’s not enjoyable to have to keep getting up to ask for things, lovely as she was she simply didn’t have the time to come to the table unless she was serving. Such a shame.

Avoid at all, the WORST dinning experience, and we didn't even eat. Poor, poor service and rude staff. After standing seeming ultimately invisible, after a long while we was asked if we had reservations. Now being seated by the manger, we was then told this table is was promised to a new walk in. As a couple of colour I can only put it down to racial profiling. It really discourages and disgust me, I've manged to fight depression all my life, and still feel downtrodden so easily. Systematically I have to speak up, it's so shocking we have this treatment. With my level of success and wealth, I'm so easily judged. I live in a 1.6 million pound in west London Chiswick. One of the most affluent areas in London, and after all my accplishmenst and accolades, we have biggots working on 10.50 a hour.

Review written on 7 October 2021: I have been a customer of AtariYa in Kingston for many years ever since the shop originally opened, but my visit yesterday with a friend was most disappointing. In fact, we were so disgusted that we walked out. My friend and I were both wearing masks. I have a Japanese family and I have lived, worked and travelled widely in Japan for over 45 years and have friends who run top quality sushi restaurants in Tokyo and Narita so I do know proper Japanese food. My first disappointment was the lack of sushi Bento boxes. Previously, there has always been a really good selection of excellent quality all freshly made but on this visit there was very little on display and all looking rather dull. Apart from the lack of stock, possibly caused by the present worldwide delivery problems, I was disappointed to see items which appeared to be Japanese but were not actually made in Japan. That is extremely misleading. Inspection of some of the nori seaweed packets showed that they were produced in China, similarly, some items in the freezer which were made in Vietnam. I asked the male fishmonger (not Japanese) behind the sashimi counter about this but got no answer. Of course it is not impossible to produce good quality food which is not made in its original country but I go to a Japanese food shop to buy genuine Japanese food, not food produced somewhere else. I do not eat anything from China because I do not trust their production methods due to at least one scandal in Japan involving the use of pesticides on imported Chinese products. At the sashimi fish counter at the rear of the shop there seemed to be a much smaller selection than there used to be. I ask the male fishmonger, in Japanese, for a particular fish but he didn't understand me so I repeated just the name of the fish (shime saba) and he did point to the correct fish. However, although he was wearing a mask, it was pulled down, thus exposing his nostrils. A female staff member then appeared, also wearing a mask but also not covering her nose. I asked both of them why their masks were not correctly positioned but they just smiled (I don't know why) and pulled the masks up to cover their noses but it was too late. I told them that it was disgusting to be breathing all over raw fish while the Covid pandemic is still continuing but there was no proper reply from either. These two staff members were not Japanese and the very nice Japanese gentleman who has always previously run the fish counter was not present. Two English men then came in and looked at the sushi bento items but neither was wearing a mask even while leaning over the products. The products were in plastic boxes but that is not the point. It is absolutely unimaginable that any Japanese person, either customer or staff, would lean over any food, particularly raw food, in a virus pandemic without wearing a proper mask. In Japan, staff who are preparing food in public view normally wear masks, gloves, hats and a proper uniform but, of course, this is England. I absolutely cannot imagine what Japanese people think of such low standards. I complained once before about the poor attitude of an English staff member in this shop and received an apology from AtariYa. Obviously, poor hygiene is even more important so I will be writing again to the AtariYa management. It is very important that shops purporting to be Japanese do actually give a proper good impression of their products. Very few non-Japanese people have any idea what real Japanese food is and what I saw in the shop yesterday was simply not acceptable. Other reviewers on this site have made similar criticisms. I will never go to this shop again. Nor will my friends.
