Yamazaki Sushi Bar in Basingstoke and Deane

Quite pricey but stellar food and customer service.

Had a fantastic meal here, the previous reviews were not wrong. Attentive, but not over bearing service, fab sushi, and a great spicy sesfood soup. Tucked away down an alley, you wont be disappointed.

So yummy! Been a couple of times - love the sharing platters such good value and amazing flavours - good opportunity to try things I would perhaps not otherwise choose. Atmosphere is lovely and relaxed.

We came here for lunch and everything we order.. we demolish it as it was delicious. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was calming.

We always go out to eat here on special occasions we always leave full and satisfied Definitely one of basingstoke best hidden gems

A very special little restaurant in Basingstoke and well worth finding. Prices are very reasonable, the food seems fresh and tastes great if you like Sushi or Asian fusian cuisine. Phone reception can be quite bad inside the restaurant and I'm not supportive of paid customer WiFi, thats a massive no from me, hence a mark off for atmosphere. Overall though 9/10

atmosphere was fantastic, staff were the perfect level of attentive, food was amazing

Didn’t have a reservation, but was early and got seated with a friendly welcome (it was packed later; so mental note to reserve next time!). The service was swift and the food was fabulous. Will definitely return.

probably one of the best Eastern restaurants I've ever been to

Gorgeous food. We have been a few times now. Service is excellent and food is so good. Always order some sushi in there as I think is the best sushi in Basingstoke. Hot dishes are so tasty and well prepared too. Will always keep coming back.

Lovely little restaurant with amazing food. The sushi was incredible and all the staff were so friendly! Will definitely be going back soon.

Absolutely delicious food in a lovely little restaurant. All the staff were so friendly and the food was so tasty. We shared a number of sushi rolls, gyoza and katsu between 4 of us. Thought it was great value for money for what we had. The food tasted so fresh and was presented beautifully. I would highly recommend and we will be visiting again!

Very good Japanese food, especially the soft shell crab tempura (we had 2 portions!)

Great food with a broad range of options from rice to noodles, there's delicious gyoza and torikaraage.

Great food. My family enjoyed our food very much. Worth the visit. We will surely be back again. Service is great as well.

Love all their sushi 16 pcs platter and the chicken teriyaki. I also liked the Japanese lychee soft drink "Rakune", great service and background music too 😀

Such a great place. Both food & service are faultless. This really is a hidden gem, well worth a visit. Head & shoulders above many other restaurants in Basingstoke.

Excellent experience, superb food, great service and a really pleasant environment. We ran slightly late, called ahead and they were able to delay our booking. Definitely advise booking as there aren’t many tables. Will definitely visit again.

This place really is a hidden gem!!! The food was so good, fresh, beautifully presented, unpretentious. I will be back :)

Came here for my partners birthday, it was amazing! The food was delicious and the staff were so friendly and attentive! Can't wait to come back again.

Delicious sushi and friendly staff, first time here and definitely won’t be the last!

I love sushi and Japanese cuisine, so I recommend this bar to everyone who likes an intimate atmosphere, good service and, most importantly, food that is prepared immediately and you don't have to wait long. It's delicious ❣️I recommend it

Delicious food that didn't have to wait long Nice atmosphere and atmosphere, and the biggest advantage was that we could talk freely and hear each other Very helpful staff

We ordered 3 different sushi rolls to share and they were excellent. Great flavours. Service was friendly and attentive - will definitely visit again. Recommend.

This is our go to special restaurant. The food is amazing and delicious, always fresh. The staff are attentive and always very friendly and great for advice on what to choose.

Best Japanese restaurant around! I’ve been here many times and will definitely come back many more times. This restaurant is amazing and is the best Japanese restaurant I’ve ever been to. The new interior of the restaurant definitely improves the whole experience. They have a fantastic range of food and there is something for everyone here. Id recommend ordering starters to share between everyone because then you get to try lots of different things, I’d definitely recommend getting some tempura, whatever it is it’s all amazing! For main course, you can get a proper main course like a noodle or rice dish but I normally go for sushi or sashimi with a side of rice which is always amazing. I normally don’t get desert because Im full by the time I get to that point but I have had it once, I had like a pancake thing with a custard sort of thing inside and I think the other thing was like a coconut ice cream ball thing. Both were lovely, especially the pancake. Price wise the food is good. The thing that sets this restaurant apart from others is that the service is so amazing, honestly it’s the best I’ve ever had. I definitely recommend going here. (I was going to include some pictures but for some reason it won’t let me).

Amazing place definitely my favourite restaurant in Basingstoke. I have been there many times and each visit never fails to deliver. The sushi is delicious and service is so efficient and friendly, would recommend to anyone.

Discovered this little gem of a place for our daughter’s 16th birthday and wow were we impressed. Service was very good and the food was out of this world. This was our first visit but definitely will not be our last. Nice touch by the team was to bring a little Japanese cheesecake with a candle for my daughter. Many thanks team!

Family dinner for our daughter’s 16th birthday. Our first visit and it won’t be our last. The food was exceptional in all aspects. The service was friendly and efficient and the little touch of giving our daughter a Japanese cheesecake with a candle in was lovely.

This is our family’s favourite place to eat - only 5 minutes walk from home. Very friendly and welcoming. Haven’t been here for a while due to work commitments but this evening, we enjoyed everything we ordered. The place has recently been renovated - it feels lovely and fresh. Crispy duck in a roll was delicious, my new favourite! Highly recommended! Trust me, I’m a chef. 😄

This is a special restaurant in Basingstoke, and well worth finding if you like sushi and fusion Asian cuisine. It has the feeling of a family run restaurant - pleasant staff and you can see all the chefs. It was good to see a mix of people eating here and enjoying the food and the atmosphere. The food is excellent and well presented, and is reasonably priced. We will definitely be back! Try it!

This restaurant has become a firm favourite for both sushi and Japanese food lovers in our family. The sushi is fresh and beautifully presented and the noodles and curry dishes were amazing. Service was friendly and efficient. I can't wait to go again!

So very happy that we found this wonderful sushi bar late this afternoon. Needed to find an EV charging point, and there are quite a few on Feathers Lane. The welcome we received was very friendly. My son and I shared the following: Beef Teriyaki Dragon Roll, Tuna Maki, and Salmon Teriyaki with Rice. All these dishes were really delicious. They were accompanied by pickled ginger and wasabi paste. I would rate food, service, value for money and ambience all at 5*. The only let down was the loo. One shared loo between customers. It was very clean, but could do with a makeover. We live 31 miles from this restaurant, but this is now our favourite Japanese Restaurant.

We had a great meal here. Sushi was excellent, and I had a brilliant chicken noodle dish - unusual and tasty.

The sushi was very fresh and delicious, the soy source is imported from Japan and just so much nicer than anything else i have eaten. The meal was very well prepared and presented and the duck we had was fresh. The decor has recently been updated and now looks better than before. 12 out of 10 from me.

Outstanding food and service. Can’t really say much more other than try it!!

Amazing experience at Yamazaki Sushi Bar. Great food and very friendly staff/ owner. Reasonably priced too. Must visit

Great service and good… definitely worth a visit!

Very nice,walked in and asked for a table of one and was seated immediatly,very fast service and good price too

Food was terrible, squid was overcooked noodles were tasteless. When I mentioned it to staff was told food was cooked for correct time, I explained that it was very rubbery, staff didn't seem to care. Avoid

We keep coming back time and time again, just because it's amazing food, family owned and run, had tasty Japanese import beers and again, the food is amazing. Even said to my wife that this would probably rank up there as one of my "death row meals" options. Love it!!

Excellent sushi, and other Japanese food. And just over the road from the theatre. A regular for a good night out - sushi and stage. Enjoyed several good meals, looking forward to more.

Authentic experience, as if you are in Japan! There is nothing I can fault about it. I loved the sushi, the katsu curry Udon, the matcha ice cream. Not your everyday outing, but it was well worth spending more for food that has high standards. It felt like a family-run business so we want to support it. We aim to return very soon!

Lovely little place just outside festival place. Sushi box was great as was the pumpkin katsu/karokke. Closest experience to an Izakaya since we were in Japan a few years ago. Service was friendly and attentive. Took our newborn in and wasn't a problem although was quite quiet when we went.

Good sushi and desserts, friendly staff, adequate facilities (highchair), clean, nice decor

Cosy little place, amazing sushi with a really good selection, really friendly staff without being overbearing. Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful time with my wife and friends. Good food and drink

A little hidden gem. Been hear quite a few times over the years and have always come away wanting to come back. Food, service, and atmosphere are all excellent.

Small hidden gem in Basingstoke for delicious Japanese food. Reasonably priced and pleasant ambiance. We tried the chicken Karoge, Octopus balls, vegan gyoza and crunchy tofu sushi, all of which were delicious.

Lovely staff, food really nice and very reasonably priced.

Food gets better every visit! Highly recommend

Little pricey but very delicious asian cuisine :)

A beautifully presented, well balanced and vibrant sushi selection served timely. The kitchen and front of house team are a machine. An excellent range of vegetarian options. We’ll absolutely be back for the noodles and more deserts!

This spot is extremely amazing, the staff are so so friendly and helpful. The food quality is absolutely outstanding and the menu is perfect (not too much, not too little). Very small little building, so I would recommend booking ahead of time. Overall, amazing restaurant!

Great food at a very reasonable price for sushi

A great experience from start to finish. My go-to Japanese restaurant.

Wow just Wow- The food here is awesome, service and atmosphere is second to none. I cannot recommend highly enough. If Sushi is your thing (or not) Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

Best Japanese we’ve ever been to- it’s a must! We booked a table through their website and they replied instantly. We had the duck gyozas, edamame beans, chicken Karage and then katsu prawn udon noodles. Was delicious!

Amazing food, been here three times and loved it each time. Personal favourite is the chicken teriyaki noodles and a couple portions of maki. Best restaurant in Basingstoke

I enjoyed a lovely meal the food was very good as always, the staff are friendly and polite the atmosphere was nice.

Having been excited by their menu I had to taste it for myself and I have not been disappointed. Chicken gyoza and the pumpkin katsu was amazing, so tasty. My main the prawn yakisoda was good and certainly complicated the starters.

As other have said- a little gem!! I’ve visited this restaurant several times, at lunch, dinner or takeaway and it’s always been consistently perfect! The food is delicious, a calm atmosphere and the team is so friendly and welcoming. We used to order takeaway only from this restaurant but as of this year we started coming in for dinner instead which is truly a lovely experience and a nice treat.

Tucked away in Feather's Lane, Yamazaki is our go-to Japanese restaurant in Basingstoke. It has a very charming vibe and warm setting once you've pulled a seat. We paid a visit yesterday, and we ordered the chicken teriyaki yakisoba and chicken katsu udon. It was served in generous portions that left us full for the day (well, me to be honest haha!) the service was attentive and fast. Highly recommend getting their sushi, it's one of the best and is fresh! And also their chestnut ice cream - different but oh so rich and creamy!

A small hidden gem. The foods are great and the staff members are very kind. The food is freshly made there, as soon as you order it they'll prep it and cook it for you. The octopus balls (takoyaki) is the best I've ever had compared to the other ones I've tried so far. The sake were delicious too I had it warm. Sushi and sashimi are surprisingly fresh. Soba and udon dishes are good too, the pasta is perfectly cooked and not soggy. Also there are vegan foods too, if you're vegan. The atmosphere were very lovely and quiet, the music is calm and not too loud. If you having a laugh with your friends you can see the staff members smiling too which makes the experience even better. In nutshell is one of the best Japanese style restaurant I think. I highly recommend to everyone.

Lovely little (tiny really, recommended booking or going when it's less.nusy, if you can) Japanese restaurant. Sushi top notch, katsu sauce was amazing, and no one at our table went hungry or unsatisfied. Minor mark down on the time it took to be served but it was busy when we went!

Went here to try somewhere new with friends, will be returning! My favourite cuisine so nice to have somewhere local like this :)

My partner and I had a fantastic time here. We tried Sashimi, crunch rolls, duck gyoza's, chicken karage and a few other items, the service was great! Polite and speedy and the food was incredible. Will certainly go back. You must try this place!

The food here is amazing! If you like a cosy wholesome atmosphere much better than Wagamamas. A hidden gem Can vouch for great Vegan options 👌

Brilliant sushi restaurant!! The spicy crunchy rolls are the best 🍣

This was a practice as we are going to Japan. Very help Maitre'D. Great food, super service, great atmosphere.

This was my first visit to Yamazaki and I will definitely return there again, probably very soon too! The menu is extensive and full of common and unusual Japanese dishes to cater for every taste. The sushi was fresh and incredibly tasty, chicken karage crispy and just perfectly fried and the duck gyozas perfectly flavoured and crispy. The mains were served in huge bowls and again freshly cooked and with delicious flavours and textures. There are so many items more on the menu I want to sample and I don't expect any of them to disappoint!

Fantastic experience, visited with my partner, great service and food was amazing, the best I have tasted in a long while, a little business, a real gem of a place, we will return soon, we’ll worth a visit…

AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE , LIVELY ATMOSPHERE, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Food is amazing and service is excellent. We only ever go here as a treat however as prices are quite steep, but this is reflected in the quality of the food.

Amazing food, Service and Authentic.

Amazing restaurant, it makes wagamama look so generic, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and food was so good, don't miss out on this hidden gem in Basingstoke

I got beef ramen and this is one of the worst ramen I had. They put chili and red onions on the ramen which made it spicy. The egg was only the ordinary hard boiled egg and not the usual ramen eggs. It was very disappointing and expensive at 14.90! Not recommended at all 🤮

Visited here a few times during trips away with work. Fantastic range of absolutely delicious sushi, coupled with a menu of really tasty main dishes. I went for the ramen soups, chicken one evening and beef the other, they were excellent with a beautiful, fragrant and warming broth. I’d always recommend finishing the evening with a custard dorayaki too! Fantastic service & quick preparation. Yamazaki stands out as one of the best Japanese experiences I’ve had for the price range and I can’t wait to return.

Amazing food. Friendly team and great menu choices. Will be coming back again.

My husband and I found this place whilst wondering around before a show at The Haymarket and as sushi lovers, we decided to give it a try. The staff are very welcoming, efficient and attentive, but without being intrusive. The food was cooked/prepared to order and the result was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is small and basic, but don’t allow this to put you off, this place is worth a try for all Asian food lovers. Plus, the toilets are the cleanest I’ve been in for a long time. A great small local business that deserves to succeed. (We recently went to Ivy Asia in Mayfair, London and whilst the food was delicious, the service was appalling and the staff really didn’t care. I wish I could have spend my £200 in this restaurant instead)

What a treat, we came for lunch and it was hard not to keep ordering more and more. A huge selection of sushi made to order.

Take out experience great and food was also nice. A good option for Japanese food in Basingstoke

This is the best restaurant in Basingstoke. They do everything so well; the service is amazing; the food is fantastic; it always has a friendly vibe; the staff are so lovely and attentive. This has been mine and my friends go-to restaurant for the last couple of years now and we don't see it changing. The sushi, the rice dishes, and the noodles are always excellent, so tasty. I will keep coming back to keep this amazing independent restaurant alive.

Delicious. Great service with helpful and quick members of staff. Great value with quality ingredients.

Love this place! Sushi is so fresh and tasty. The staff are friendly and welcoming. This is our favourite sushi place! Support local business and give it a go!

I was heading to Basingstoke on my own to do a little exploring. I researched restaurants before I came and this one looked perfect. I was not disappointed. The waitress was very friendly and all food came out in really good time. Loved the all female staff! I ordered lots of food and everything was fab. I especially liked the rainbow roll and the okonomiyaki. Thoroughly enjoyed myself, many thanks!

Fab! First visit but definitely not the last. Really lovely sushi and a great choice

Absolutely solid place to choose for lunch or dinner. Great atmosphere, pleasant knowing everything cooked freshly and to order. Tasty. Will be back with the rest of my family soon.

First time dinning, really great sushi and excellent service!.

Best sushi in town. Never put a foot wrong.

Amazing, especially for basingstoke food. Genuinely sad I don't go more

What an amazing restaurant, great service absolutely awesome food. If you love sushi...get yourselves down here. Booking advised

My 3.5yr old.son loved it so much...we will definitely be re-visiting again soon!

We've been here before and loved the food, so as something different for Valentines Day, this was our first choice. The food was fantastic again, brilliant fresh sushi and sashimi, and the friendly staff topped it off with a complementary glass of bubbly. Great, great meal and a lovely atmosphere. Eat here!

Lovely food, we had a sushi platter with a couple of sides. All very tasty and really good friendly service. Would definitely eat here again!

I've lived in Basingstoke for 6 years and have missed this little gem until today. We visited with friends and couldn't have been more happy. The service was great and the food was amazing. I've been to a few sushi restaurants but this one stands out from the rest.

Yum! How did I not notice this establishment sooner?! Went there after an afternoon of shopping and thought I’d incorporate it with dinner and takeout for my son who is sushi crazy! Bearing in mind Sushi is not readily available where we are in Andover unless you count Waitrose and Asda ready meal counters. Was on my own but made to feel very welcome. I wanted to order everything as there was such an vast variety on the menu. I did order a lot but was able to take away anything uneaten much to my sons delight. I will definitely be returning again with family in tow. The price is really good considering it is sushi and can be considerably more in such like places whilst being poorer quality. This was all fresh and really hot. The crab tempura is 10/10 and I have tried soooo many!!! So light batter and so nice and hot temperature and fresh. I was surprised they had the seared salmon and tuna on menu too as again, my main sushi restaurant i use don’t even have this! I didn’t give full stars as much of the dishes didn’t have the main/original accompaniment dips/garnishes that normally come with them that I’ve had in other places but it didn’t bother me as I didn’t care much for them anyways. Thank you for the very friendly staff. I didn’t get the name of the man but I’m sure he was the manager. This will now be my go to regular 👍

Having walked past this restaurant for years we decided to try it. A fantastic restaurant. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious whilst at the same time not being really expensive like some Sushi is. I’d recommend this restaurant.

A great find in Basingstoke. Lovely fresh sushi and sashimi, complimented with friendly and slick service. Outside of sushi, there is a range of hot dishes, the chicken katsu curry is delicious 😋

Had superb lunch today, food was the freshest, best food I ever had. Ate suishi with lots of sides and tried 3 deserts. So so good. Will be going there often. Basingstoke best hidden gem xxx
