Uoichi in Tower Hamlets - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very good Japanese original food. I really like they have Oden, which is not easy to find outside Japan. High quality sashimi e snacks. Few suggestions: - I left smelling like I’ve been cooking there all day. Need to have better ventilation! - minimum £30 per person is a bit pretentious considering the location. Suggest £25. - need some little investment in the interior. Start removing the 2 old armchairs

This hidden gem is a true taste of Japan. The food is delicious, and has an authentic flavour to it. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and it is a true joy to visit. The fried chicken is a must to try.

We went back 2 days in a row to this small and authentic izakaya style restaurant. It is small, with a maximum of 6 tables so reservation is recommended. The sashimi is handled with a lot of care, served in the right temperature and some slightly seared to enhance the flavour. Lunch sets are perfect, with soup and rice and some sides with the main. The dinner menu showcases a wider selection of sashimi and delightful warm dishes. Would highly recommend the karage, the fried tofu, and the home made dumplings. Delish!

Es un pequeño agujero en la pared, un poco oculto a la vista, por lo que habría sido difícil tropezar con él si uno no hubiera sabido que estaba allí. Es un entorno íntimo con solo unas pocas mesas (aún más ahora para cumplir con las reglas de distanciamiento social), y el propietario informó que estaban completamente reservados durante las próximas 2 noches, por lo que sería una buena idea hacer una reserva con anticipación. Llegué un poco tarde para almorzar a las 2. 30 pm por lo tanto, yo era el único allí. Había sido el día más caluroso del año hasta ahora, ¡así que fue amable de su parte tener el ventilador conmigo! Se ofreció desinfectante de manos al igual que té verde ilimitado (era profundo y sabroso), y pedí el almuerzo de chuleta de cerdo frita junto con vino de ciruela y refresco. El almuerzo vino con arroz y sopa de miso y 2 acompañamientos interesantes: daikon, jengibre en escabeche, zanahoria, rábano y ñame (creo). ¡Fue delicioso y muy satisfactorio! La sopa de miso fue una de las mejores que he probado y la chuleta de cerdo era muy ligera y fresca. Es un equipo formado por marido y mujer, y la señora fue muy amable y conversadora, y se podía ver el orgullo que sentía por lo que hacen y sirven a los clientes. Nunca he sido de los que escriben reseñas, pero ahora me sentí obligado a hacerlo. . . sobre todo porque cuando se estaba procesando mi tarjeta de crédito, le pregunté si el cargo por servicio estaba incluido y ella dijo que no. Para entonces ya era demasiado tarde y tampoco tenía dinero en efectivo, así que me fui con un poco de vergüenza. Esto es lo menos que puedo hacer ahora :) Y si viviera o trabajara en el área, ¡ciertamente iría allí con mucha más frecuencia!

Increíble pequeño lugar japonés, realmente intentan mantener el íntimo sentimiento japonés de izakaya. Las raciones son excelentes y la comida es de muy buena calidad con una variedad de platos clásicos japoneses Izakaya en el menú. El personal fue muy acogedor y amable, tuvo una gran conversación con ellos. Esta es definitivamente una joya escondida en esta parte de Londres.

A secret treasure in London, best & fresh quality, authentic Japanese cuisine, friendly stuff and value for money! Can’t wait to visit again!

Exceptional gem. Stumbled upon this little Japanese place whilst in London. Small number of tables with cosy atmosphere. The menu comprised of an assortment of Japanese food - we had a selection of sashimi, oden, karaage etc. They were all delicious. Especially washed down with some warm sake. Arguable the best Japanese food I had in the UK and I've eaten at lots of Japanese places. It may be a little out of the way but omg it is well worth the effort. Service was amazing as well.

We knew we wanted Japanese food, but we didn’t know where to go. This is the place to go. Small and unassuming, but with Japanese businessmen happily eating meant we were drawn in. We were glad we were. The food was delicious with lovely service. Every dish was bursting with genuine flavour and all the recommendations were spot on. If I’m ever in the area again then this will be where I’m heading. Such a cracking little find!

A lovely and authentic Japanese restaurant in the most unexpected location. Simple and unpretentious, it is run by a husband and wife team that between the two of them deliver a remarkably diverse menu - from sashimi (fresh and tasty) to gyoza and grilled and deep fried prawns, chicken and pork. The prices are just as unexpected - it’s probably the best value Japanese meal in London.

Stumbled upon this gem while on the lookout for nice Japanese lunch. And they did not disappoint! High quality ingredients and both sushi and izakaya staples are amazing. Staff and the chef are also very friendly. Absolute authentic experience for me. 200% recommended!

We had the best authentic Japanese meal in London at Uoichi. The hosts are super nice and friendly. The food is outstanding and freshly made by the Japanese chef (the owner). The service was exceptional. Elisa explained everything on the menu that was not known to us. The presentation is well done. Overall an excellent experience. We would highly recommend to everyone.

This is a fantastic little joint that serves lovely authentic Japanese food. The sashimi is very well sourced and is absolutely delicious. Also plenty of classic izakaya food like fried chiken and fried oysters. Lovely owners too! Highly recommended.

Piece of authentic Japan cuisine in London. Place hidden behind skyscrapers of Canary Wharf takes you thousand miles away to Japan. Run by nice Japanese couple serves really good food, all of it I had opportunity to try for the first time. I ordered Udon, grilled smelt and deep fried oysters - all of it amazing. Eating grilled smelt was a new experience for me, as it had fish eggs inside that were popping in the mouth. Amazing! And owner was so nice and open. Totally recommend this place.

We have tried Uoichi for the first time. It’s a local restaurant with really good food :) we ask them for a booking and our table was ready even before arrival!!! Totally recommended!!
