The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Japanese food

We were booked into a different restaurant, but our need for Thai styler food was greater, we searched for Thai style and happened to come across Bombos. We did our checking of previous reviews and were impressed. We booked and went there Friday night (7th Feb 2025). The greeting from Spike was genuine, warm, friendly, and with a grace to make you feel appreciated. Spike was helpful with the menu and genuinely engaged in a general chatter with enthusiasm, a nice touch as some places don't engage. The menu was a delight to read, mouthwatering stories of each dish. The delight was that the menu was not vast, which in my opinion is a great thing, as you get quality from the dishes they do and do well, rather than a myriad of dishes that could do better. So, a top score from us. We ordered, my wife and I, starters of Chicken Tatsutaage and I had Octopus Balls. All I can say here is...... OMG. My wife doesn't go overboard for a fish dish, but she absolutely loved the Octopus Balls. We both loved the two starters. They arrived, well presented, with clearly both love and attention, with an almost painted finish, they looked that nice. What a fabulous start to our experience of Bombos. The mains we ordered were Chicken Katsu Curry together with Bibimbap (Chicken) . We were NOT disappointed. The presentation was sublime, careful, delicate, with panache from someone who loves their job and takes pride. The flavours were an abudance of sensor hitting delights, there was nothing to fault. We will be back to enjoy the rest of the menu, we cannot wait to get there again. Thank you, Bombos.

The pork belly ramen was creamy and delicious!

Just tried to visit but you're closed!!! Please tell me you're going to reopen...this has ruined my day. Sad noot.

Esta es la segunda vez que he estado en este fantástico restaurante. Ventajas: El servicio es excelente. La sensación del interior es sin pretensiones, pero cálido y acogedor - me encantan las vistas a la calle. La comida es excelente. Un ligero negativo es el precio. Pero consigues lo que pagas. Este es un restaurante para ocasiones especiales para mí - otros pueden tener los medios para visitar más a menudo,

La gente que lo dirige era súper encantadora. Cuando entré con mi hijo a comer sushi para llevar para nuestro almuerzo. Muy útil para tomar decisiones y recomendaciones. 5 ⭐️

Simple and cozy space for some nice feel-good Japanese food. Sadly they didn't have tempura so will come back next time.

Delicious tapas, nice wine et great atmosphere. For sure, that's not fine food but the products are good and the cooker is talented. Whatever, I love thise place!

So, so delicious. Wow. I am still drooling and trying to work out how soon I can return. Very attentive service. Thank-you!

Don’t listen to any of the bad reviews. This place is the best. Amazing Japanese food and amazing service. Ottie, Mario and Maya. You guys are the best!!!!

I've only been there once, had a drink. Very nice place 👌

AmazIng food, and everything was on point!!! I definitely recommend and would go again Dragon roll was top tier 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Incredible food! A lovely warm atmosphere and the staff are very nice. A very good selection of gluten free options, and they have gluten free soy sauce too! Great choice for coeliacs/gluten free - I’ve been here many times and will continue to come back.

ロンドンで和食を食べたくなったらJapanese Restaurant Miyamaへ。セントポール大聖堂の近くにあります。ランチの定食を注文。お味噌汁の出汁の味が落ち着きます。

In general meal here was okay and the sushi ordered was tasty and fresh. Sadly as the restaurant was cold and a few dishes were overpriced for the size it’s not somewhere we’d return to.

Place is permanently closed according to a sign at the door
