Tombo in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Dessert looks very attractive in the fridge. I tried the matcha tofu cake as shown but do not taste much as these ingredients. For Sushi bowl - sushi are fresh and tasty. However, the rice underneath the sushi are fully soaked with Japanese white vinegar. Completely weird. It’s the first time I ate the heavy taste of vinegar in every bite of rice bowl. Delivery is fast. Staff is moderately friendly. Eat in is around 20% more than take away. Special price for Soho? For fancy pictures and hello kitty fan, it might earn a higher rating. For real foodie, I find it over-rated and expensive.

We came here for a quick bite to eat and ordered the Okanawa Poké which is a fried tofu salad style bowl served cold and you can choose rice or noodles with it. It was delicious! The other hot dish we had was aubergine Poké. It was good, too. The place has a couple of seats upstairs and then more seating downstairs. You order and pay upstairs at the counter before getting your food. The food arrived really quickly. The service was good and friendly and the food is very affordable despite being in the middle of London.

This place is my biggest discovery and my personal number one in London !!! With the amazing food and true and authentic taste of matcha-tea this place has conquered my heart ^^ ARIGATOU !!

Thanks for our daily teriaky don, matcha latte and london sundae. See us next year for sure. Greets from Germany

It's a small place where you order your food. I am not a matcha lover so this is not the kind of restaurant for me. I had the fried tofu but they served it cold which I don't like. Not coming back.

A perfect healthy bowl of goodness. Served fast and fresh. Friendly service. Vegetables were crisp and fresh. Could have had a little more salmon and tuna in the bowl considering the price. Maccha ice cream delicious.

I found the Tombo Japanese Cafe food to be very good, I originally went to this place as a catch up with a good friend after being shared the Instagram page and we thought it well worth a look. The food selection here is small but very fresh and very good. The menu also offers Vegetarian/Vegan options which is a nice touch. I opted the the Miso Aubergine & Tofu Don, Which I have to say was amazing! I normally eat slowly, But I was relishing this. I also had my first Matcha dish here in the form of it’s Tokio Sundae, Which was very nice an better than normal Green the ice creams I have had which I normally really like. The atmosphere it’s quanit but not cramped and although a cafe it does have a fresh and urban look to it. As mentioned the menu selection is good and the presentation of the food always makes it extra special when the waiter arrives certainly making it Instagram worthy in the lighting. The staff were helpful and pleasant and it didn’t seem overly busy at all in the middle of Soho I’ll certainly be dinning here again.

£12 for a bowl of rice and tiny thin cuts of fish.. the biggest disappointment after reading all the good reviews. I don’t know why would anybody want to come back seeing how stingy they are towards customers. Spending £23 on two poke bowls which tasted worse than wasabi sushi set costing £5.. I’ll never come back and would not recommend if you don’t want to feel cheated on

I popped in on Saturday afternoon while wandering around soho and ended up making my own Poke bowl - half rice and half courgette base with salmon, tuna, avocado, edamame, and tempura crumbs - it was delicious! I opted to eat in, snagging the last counter seat (there are only three tables and four counter stools) and got a glass of green tea to go with my bowl. During the 20 minutes I was there a dozen people came in for matcha drinks or match desserts and they all looked terrific!

The ingredients you are using are hardly authentic and even not fresh! The food was disgusting. Service was even worse, I was ignored upon arriving and then I had to wait whilst employees were chatting... I would never return to this, what a waste of time and money.

Tombo Poke & Matcha Bar is a ba in Soho and it proposes very nice matcha drinks and tasty icecream. The place is clean, pleasant but the service is quite slow - at least when i was there, on sunday afternoon-. I had to ask the waiter where were my orders, becasue after 20 minutes I was still waiting for my ice creama nd matcha tea. To sum up it is a nice place but it needs to give a better service.

日本食が恋しくなったらここのポケを食べに行くのがオススメ！ ライスの代わりにコジェットも選べてとてもヘルシーです。味付け が日本人にぴったり。本物の味がしました。

The matcha drinks and icecream were really good, however, the experience was spoiled by the place being late to open (we came specially to the place and had to wait behind the door for more than 5 min.), the staff was clearly tired or in a bad mood and that was obviously expressed on her face. No music, the place not cozy to eat/drink-in. Would recomend take-away.

Great Japanese food - although I do prefer their South Ken branch. Amazing food (do try Tokyo Classic poke!) and amazing matcha desserts. I am a regular!

I've been coming to tombo for over a year now and the food and service has always been excellent. The prices are very reasonable and there are good options for vegans/vegetarians/meat eaters. The matcha soft serve is probably the best in London and I've tried many places! The matcha is strong but not overpowering and is sweet but not sickenly as some cafes tend to do. I will keep coming here for my matcha and poké cravings!

The food here is excellent and great value. The Poke bowls were really fresh and tasty with plenty of salmon and tuna. The grilled pineapple is a must. The turkey & ginger meatballs were also excellent. Portions are generous. A £21 the wine was very good value. Staff are very friendly. Totally recommend.

We love this place! My husband and I go most weekends. The poké is incredible, they have great Japanese beers and of course, matcha

veeery tasty food and cosy little restaurant, might be a bit busy. next time i will try soem of the cakes! Had an amazing vegetarian bowl.

It's a cute little place here and some places to sit downstairs to enjoy your drinks/food. I used to regularly come by to grab a few matcha goodies. Best ones are matcha brownie and the matcha gateau, you can really taste the matcha unlike some...

Loved this place. Delicious food- went with my Japanese friend who is very picky about this kind of food and she also loved. The Matcha ice cream was out of this world. Great service. Perfect place for lunch or pre-theatre as it’s qhick and casual....

I only had the matcha ice cream. I saw it on Instagram and, let's be honest, it looks amazing and it makes you wanna try it. I wouldn't say it is out of this world, it kinda was a basic matcha-flavored ice cream. But tasty.

We had lunch here and this is my second visit. The service was excellent I love the Poke Okinawa green fried tofu which was delicious! My friend had the salmon poke and was equally impressed. It was all very healthy and there was plenty of...

The food and the service was fab . Fresh food and Macha tea was very appetising . Dumplings were one of the best I have eaten , I roiled recommendation it to anyone who wants to find out the rav about Macha tea

My friend suggested this spot and I was open to trying anything ! Good selection of food and drinks. Ate it all and enjoyed immensely. The sparkling sake was delicious but the plum wine rather bitter. Will be back to try more ASAP

3 of us girls had tombo for lunch the first day (south Kensington), dinner the second (soho) and took away their poke bowl on our flight home. The service at the former is better than the latter. At South Kensington we Ordered 4 main dish...

Popped in with four friends on Saturday 3rd June 2018. Place was pretty quiet. A blonde woman was behind the counter on the ground floor and told us we needed to order at the counter before taking a table downstairs. I presumed this was because...

This small establishment is located on d'Arblay St which is turning out to be THE foodie street in Soho with several single-specialty eateries. Good for quick lunch with some seating downstairs as well. I had a filling bowl of rice with some sushi on top...

The poke balls are delicious. Sashimi is fresh and good price quality! The matcha desserts are my favourite, specially the matcha brownie.

I’ve been here several timed now for a quick, healthy and satisfying lunch. It’s a great alternative to sushi and there are some really great combinations to be had. Service is quick and friendly and the bill reasonable. I’ll keep going and try to work...

A little cafe,with a lovely atmosphere and incredible matcha drinks and deserts. The staff is also Japanese wich adds even more authenticity to the place. The menu it's simple and small which probably amakes every dish so tasty. The vegan bowl with the corgette noodels...

My boyfriend and I came here for lunch today and what we had was fab! He had the teriyaki chicken rice bowl and I had the Tokyo classic poke bowl! Massively generous portions, quality food and good prices! I also tried out the sweet matcha...

This restaurant specialises in matcha treats and poke bowls. Firstly, I love love love poke bowls and they have a wonderful one here with lots of options, perfect for a quick lunch or dinner especially when I have a lot of work and want to...

Wouldn’t have heard of this place had it not been for the Hello Kitty pop-up. Although the pokè was super cute, it was a bit bland, but do highly recommend the dessert, which was really nice.

Small very efficiently and smoothly run cafe/restaurant. Had the afternoon tea, selection of sushi rolls and lovely cakes/desserts. Choice of tea all for £15, great value. Also great opportunity to try many different things if you're undecided!

The restaurant specialises in matcha and Japanese food. The service was impeccable. Super friendly, quick - no qualms. Food was good too, we got the teriyaki chicken (which came with chicken breast, i’d suggest they mention “chicken breast” on their menu as teriyaki chicken is...

Wanting a place for a tea and chat, we stumbled across Tombo Poke & Matcha Bar. We were welcomed with a smile and when we asked for a table for two we weren't sure they would have the space, but we were pleased when the...

I recently visited this branch on 17.11.2017 Friday, for dessert with a friend. It was around 4pm and there was only one waitress serving customers by herself running up and down the stairs with no help. The poor customer service was not from this waitress...

Definitely disappointing after visiting their other Tombo at South Kensington which left huge impression. Matcha drinks and desserts were average and didn't impress at all. It was way too busy for one poor waitress running around like crazy with so many customers angrily waiting to...

Food was very simple, yet well done. I ordered the zucchini pasta instead of the rice. Delicious but if you are hungry, stick to rice for the poke bowl.

The day we went was quite busy and the queue line was ridiculously long, we managed to get seated even before the ones that queued longer than us. They brought out the wrong poke and we had to wait at least another 20 minutes before...

my friend brought me here and said it was a famous matcha bar in South Kensington! It turned out we had not only dessert but also main meal, which were all delicious! The place was small but spacious, with lots of tourist and local gathering...

Popped into the Windmill Street branch with some friends to visit the Hello Kitty pop up cafe. The Hello Kitty menu was quite limited with only 2 mains to choose from: either the poke or the katsu curry, some themed desserts and drinks. We ordered...

I'm a great fan of Hello kitty so was super excited when Hello Kitty pop came to Tombo. The food was really nice and I really enjoyed the matcha Latte. The only downside though was I do think it was slightly over priced and the...

I’m easily bought when it comes to matcha and healthy Japanese food. Even so I had initial suspicions about the matcha juice, but it’s a brilliant cocconction that’s tasty and refreshing. I am more amazed by the matcha flavour dessert selection then anything else they...

Obviously this is a review of the title at Windmill St venue. The hello kitty poké with salmon was just adorable (the detail and colours of the dish is just perfect) and thankfully delishhhhh... my daughter had the chicken teriyaki off the main menu and...

We chose this restaurant as it was a short walk from Victoria and Albert Museum. We found a table easily. Service was good. The food was delicious, I had the vegetarian sushi plate and some edamame beans. I also had a matcha latte which was...

Been here wondering around in Soho streets when I saw people with matcha ice creams outside this little place. So glad I did. I had almond milk matcha and the vegan matcha dessert. It was so yum and full of unexpected flavours (e.g. yuzu and...

We waited for 15 mins to get a cone ( which was hollow inside!!!!) when there's very few people. Only when other people come to ask for refund they've started to make our food. Very poor quality of Matcha, barely taste like tea. It's terrible...

I've had lunch at this place on my own twice. I didn't know what poke was, but it looked tasty and healthy. It's not the cheapest place to eat for a quick lunch, but the quality and portion sizes are worth it. Both times I...

I went here with my mother for a snack and to introduce her to the delights of matcha. We both had the matcha set (which they kindly replaced the mochi with macaroons for us, due to dietary requirements) and you could tell it was pretty...

Great poke bowls that are really taste and you will for sure get full. You can pair bit with tea or a nice Japanese beer. They have some fun green ice cream, but they are more fun that tasty For sure place you can come...

Tombo is the cutest. The staff are super friendly, and the shop has a lovely "clean" and simple atmosphere. If you're a fan of matcha you'll adore their desserts, the matcha soft serve is to die for. Will 100% be returning and sharing this little...

Go for the matcha ice cream not for the poke bowl! The matcha ice cream was one of the best I have ever tasted but unfortunately the poke bowl (I had the salmon lux signature) was very bad. It had no taste. It's a shame...

Had lunch with my daughter and this is our second visit to tombo The food is fine if you like simple food and service is quite quick.

The ice cream cone, £4.25, was completely hollow. The cone tasted stale, and the cake was average, the slice was very small as compared to the others in the display. The South Ken branch fill the cone properly, however. Alternatively, Tsjiuri is five minutes down...

The portion for lunch is perfectly filling and the food arrives quickly. This is the best poke in London and the salmon is very very fresh. They staff is helpful and attentive.

The place is quiet and amazing! It is ideal for healthy food eating and has great options. As well has Matcha Bar which is amazing. Staff is really nice and welcoming.

I have lived in London for many years and eat Japanese food regularly. This was my first time trying Tombo. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and ordered a kaisen poke bowl (salmon and tuna) with white rice to takeaway. Service: The assistant at...

I had the matcha soft cone which was awesome. The taste of the matcha was not too strong and the ice cream was super soft and delicious!

The classic salmon poke is delicious, and a generous sized portion. The queue at lunch time can be long, but it's worth it.

i was here just one hour before its closing time however staffs were friendly and clearly explained the sundae ingredients we chose. i also remember mochi in our maccha sundae was missing and the staff came and gave that to us directly after its made....

When we found this place, it was after lunch so this placed wasn't full. We choose our own poke bowls, the food was great, quick service and ended with a matcha ice cream. Only good things to say. Well done.

I'm all about the matcha craze, and Tombo fulfilled all my cravings and fantasies! The selection of matcha treats is just crazy, I especially loved the ice cream, which is divine and the matcha tart. Looking forward to going back!

Been there for lunch on a week day, not busy at all but I found the service very slow and inattentive. Nothing to say about the food quality, definitely good, loved the options and dessert`s variety but still a bit too pricey if we consider...

Finding fresh sushi in soho is an impossible mission. Places like dozo or kyoto may have fresh fish one night and terrible, chewy and smelly fish the next one... I've now gone to tombo 7 times in the past 3 weeks, and the fish is...

I ordered a small sized poke ball (can't remember which one) and the portion was just nice for dinner. The sashimi and edame was fresh. Would love to try out their matcha desserts next time !

Very good food, based on - as the name tells - poke (2 sizes roughly 7/9£) that you can build to your taste (base, sauce, topping, extras...) and matcha (drinks, desserts). Extremely fresh food, very friendly staff, dine-in or take-out options. And fast service :)

Very lovely place, good food, enjoyable atmosphere and quick service. Went there two evenings in a row. Will return.

A colleague recommended getting a sushi bowl for a lunchtime takeaway. The bowls are a good size and priced about right for Soho. The food's fresh and tasty and I will be going there regularly now.

The pokè was very filling and the matcha icecream dessert was amazing.. one of my favourite matcha icecream places to et in London. Try to avoid busy dinner times in evenings as you might need to wait for table to be free.

Me and my friend are big matcha lovers, so this place was a must visit. Unfortunately we were quite disappointed. The overall impression of the place is not bad, it's clean and the interior is cozy. Staff workers were polite and friendly. BUT! The food...

Poke hit the spot. Matcha latte was a pleasant surprise -- delicious. Ample and quiet seating room and also to-go available.

Heard about this Japanese restaurant in Soho, had to go and try the latest trend in London.... Poke... Amazing is an understatement... You can create your own sushi bowls. I had the salmon avo poke (wasn't feeling adventerous enough to try a 'build your own'),...

This is a great place for any matcha lover. I went twice during my 3 days in London and would go back anytime. Delicious warm and iced matchas and don't forget the matcha cakes!

I like the matcha ice cream and cake. Not that sweet but really tasty . Also the decoration is comfortable for chatting with friends

I'm a big fan of Japanese food, particularly Sushi and Poke. It's rare to find fish of such high quality and such a normal price. They get the fish from Atariya who also deliver to the super expensive restaurants like Nobu etc. So you are...

Ordered Matcha Sundae. Salmon Lux regular and Chicken Pome small. The price that came out on the bill was inflated by 20% as the menu on the wall that we used to ordered didn't have Vat included in the price. I found this very misleading...

I came here for dessert after eating ramen nearby, ordered 2 cakes and a sundae between us. I am a fan of cakes but never had a Mont Blanc with digestive biscuit as base before, that seems a bit effortless to me, they could have...

Makes you feel healthy just walking in! Very friendly and helpful staff, nice and simple, but still tasty poke and very decent prices too. I had the tuna with avocado and sriracha mayo and found it both tasty and filling. Matcha tea was delicious. Definitely...

Nice clean little place for an afternoon snack or tea. Try to build your own poke bowl by choosing your own ingredients of rice or noodle; salmon, tuna or chicken; onion, cucumber or edamame; all type if sauce and so on. Or better still, just...

I found Tombo as many do, searching the streets of Soho for a late evening healthy snack (they close at 20:30). And on that score, this venue scores very highly indeed. It's only been open 3 months (I was clearly going to come to their...

I discovered matcha world just 1 one week ago and i love it. Just got to london, i was wandering aroung Soho and bumped into this place which is lovely ! You can drink and eat all related with matcha tee and i can say...

Try to avoid the 7-8 o'clock crowd as this little place gets very busy. We had a nice glass of wine elsewhere then strolled along at around 1845 and had a window table. This is not a place for a romantic meal but for an...

What a find.. As I was strolling through Soho, feeling a bit peckish and on my way to eat Vietnamese, I came across this place. So glad I had a look and decided to try. Totally yummmm, and light and fresh and healthy. My partner...

I went to Tombo with my friends and they liked the food but I thought the food was very much like the ones you get from convenient store in Japan or worse. I would recommend this place for Matcha or Matcha desert but not food....

Visited this soho branch of Tombo twice now and love it! Fab iced matcha latte and the matcha 'soft-serve' ice-cream is as good as any I had in Japan. I loved the poke bowl too, I tried the tofu one, which comes with extra dressing...
