The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Japanese food

My friends and I were looking for a place to have some quick dinner, and what a great find this was! The restaurant was clean and comfortable, the staff was warm to us and answered any questions we had, and they separated our bill without us even having to ask. The food had so much taste to it, particularly the sushi rice bowl, and the wasabi which had a really strong kick to it. If I had any constructive criticism, I would say if they had played some music that would’ve helped fill the quietness while we were looking through the menu. Overall, if I’m ever down in the area again I’ll be sure to come back to Ke Sushi!

Was highly recommended by my Son, The food was unbelievably great 12/10, The niggly bits, my starter came really nice 5 mins later the wife's arrived by this time I had finished mine before it went cold the waiter had forgotten to put the wife's down, main course just so much taste, as others stated the restaurant is a bit bland needs a theme and make it cosy it just doesn't stand out giving you the woow factor, for the quality of food there's noway we wouldn't return, Les Fountain 😀

I had been here a few years ago and loved this place, but unfortunately it seems it’s permanently closed? Their website is still live (July 2024), we tried to reserve by filling in a form on their site but got no response. Went their without reservation during stated opening hours. Not only was the restaurant closed but the signage had been removed from the exterior of the building.

Great food served with care - cool restaurant and good value… soon to be seen in Beaconsfield- cant wait

A no frill Japanese bento shop run by a lovely couple. They take pride in their food and it shows. So glad to have this in my neighborhood!

Randomly found this spot in Google Maps and it didn’t disappoint! Everything we ordered was delish! Their Teriyaki Pork Rice Bowl, Tonkotsu Cha Shu Ramen, and their famous Hope Omuriso was yuuuuumyy! Asian craving was definitely satisfied. And the ambience of their place felt like we were in Japan.

Really lovely and clean authentic Japanese restaurant, so sad to see this not brimming with life (as in not many customers)! C’mon people you must try this place: the food is top notch!

Thanks for a great meal food was amazing and staff was great thanks!

Good sushi, only a small bar area and takeaway now not a restaurant. We found out the hard way.

Vitality voucher didn't work and that was enough to annoy me.

Finally an outstanding chicken kutsu curry in Croydon! The food was absolutely delicious and very large portions. I could smell the freshly cut cucumbers from my chicken bibimbap. The lady at the till was really nice and we will definitely go there again.

Fun atmosphere with photo wallpapers of Japanese market streets at night. Great, funny and courteous waitresses. The food is really, really good. We felt comfortable, had an excellent meal and overall had a very nice evening at TAO. Today we're going there again and trying out more delicious dishes - even though we're only spending five days in Darlington and actually wanted to visit other restaurants. Sorry about the half-eaten pictures. We were hungry and when we realized how delicious the food was, we quickly took some pictures. So the portions are much larger. :-) EDIT: At this point I would like to apologize to all the other restaurant operators in Darlington, but this is our third evening here. When we come home and someone asks us what Darlington was like, we reply: "Yummy!".

I recently celebrated my wife’s birthday at Budo Izakaya, and it was truly a fantastic experience! The food was exceptional—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff went above and beyond to make the night special, accommodating all our requests with genuine hospitality. The vibe felt like a true izakaya in Japan, lively and welcoming, creating the perfect atmosphere for a memorable evening. Highly recommend Budo Izakaya for anyone looking for an authentic Japanese dining experience!

Absolutely delicious! My top suishi place in London, lovely atmosphere and service and prices are very good value. The lunch bento boxes have good helpings and a great variety!

I got the chicken teriyaki and it was amazing!
