The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Japanese food

My partner and I had a delightful evening out, enjoying the cozy vibe and great music. The food was outstanding; we particularly loved the cod, spicy salmon maki, and the spicy tuna maki. The cocktails were also really good, adding to the overall fantastic experience. Highly recommend for a perfect night out.

This was our second visit to this little gem of a restaurant as we wanted to try their new Omakase Authentic Sushi Kaiseki menu. We were not disappointed, I believe this is as close to eating Japanese food as your ever going to find in the UK. The service from the knowledgeable Japanese staff first class. As well as being presented with beautiful food, we were pleasantly educated in the ways of Japanese food and sake.

Great service and delicious food. Staff were super friendly and great with kids. We had a good table by a revolting belt and the choice of dishes was excellent. Resulted in trying so many different once. Good value!

Estuve aquí una vez antes y comimos deliciosa sopa de salmón. Esta noche pensé que estaba en un ganador, ¿qué tan equivocado podría estar. Comí pollo marmita para comenzar solo dos trozos pequeños de brócoli con solo no lo suficientemente bueno, pedí un poco de verdura para completar. Luego el desastre con un cuarto de pato como se muestra a continuación desmenuzó todo, incluido el hueso, así que se secó un poco de hueso con el que lidiar, no es agradable y pensé que este continuaría siendo un gran lugar para cenar basado en la experiencia de la sopa de salmón de la última vez.

Popped in here as we were staying nearby and fancied some sushi. Service and food were excellent with an extremely helpful and friendly waitress. The gyoza was cooked to perfection and served with a nice spicy dip and the signature crispy roll was very tasty and went well with the vegetable selection. Will definitely revisit before we head back home.

Today, around 7:30 pm I went to this shop to get my dinner on the way back and there was this guy, blonde and short hair, who ask us to wear masks which unfortunately we didn't have with us because my girlfriend, my brother and I we were out for a walking with no plans to go in any shops. So it was a last-minute thing. Anyway he raccomend us to bring mask next time and so far nothing bad but we noticed how his voice has changed and how much annoyed he was, we noticed his body language was so bad to let feel us uncomfortable. When my girlfriend accidentally put a box back in a wrong place he came out straight away just to show her that she made a mistake. I understand it's hard time for all, maybe we wronged about not bring us with us our masks but It wasn't intentionally but this is not the right way to treat your customers. Best regards

We paid £15 for one sushi roll, we had a fantastic burger with fries and a side at the White Horse for the same price. Besides that, it took almost 30 minutes to get the first of three sushi rolls, then we had to wait again for the other two to arrive. It took so long to make, the rice was warm so the whole thing fell apart. I have eaten sushi all around the world, this did not work, we would have ordered more, to fill ourselves up, but weren't prepared to wait any more or pay that amount. The restaurant is unlicensed, and you have to pay for the tap water?

I come here regularly for a quick meal. The fish is always fresh unlike other places in Croydon and sushi rolls are always delicious. Staff are also very friendly

My husband and I had an exceptional experience at Maru yesterday. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant we felt as though we were back in Japan. Every course was absolutely out of this world and showed just how talented the chefs are. Special shoutout to the monkfish karaage which will live in my head rent free for the rest of my life. This is the first omakase we’ve had since a Michelin star experience in Kyoto and it was absolutely on par. We’ll be back! Ps get the sake pairing - you won’t regret it.

Delicious. Very well presented and very tasty small dishes. My Coctail was exceptional too. Attention to detail . We didn't had a booking but that didn't matter at lunchtime. We were met by a lovely staff members, very friendly and helpful.

The “Bath Landlady” has done a fantastic job at the pub. Was a pub with a reputation of Fosters lager, and some interesting people. Now it’s cool, with an excellent selection of drinks, it’s been stripped back and now feels like a proper pub, with plenty of live music and a hip clientele. As a former Bath pub landlord, this pub is bang on

I had seen it a couple of times and wanted to try it out. We arrived at 1.15pm and it was empty but that soon changed. The lovely waiter showed us where to sit (it is a rather small place for about 10 people but there is open seating outside). We ordered a yakatori (succulent) to share for start, chicken sho-yu ramen and salmon terriyaki with rice. Amazing! The salmon was soft and tender, tasty sauce and the ramen was flavoursome. Not sure what some diners have said but it is well worth a visit. Sometimes it's best to try it for yourself to make judgement. And all reasonably priced.

Fresh fish and great variety on the menu. I enjoyed the pick your own nigiri five piece set. Everything was delicious and good atmosphere as well.

We got the latte with oat milk and gingerbread syrup, and the matcha latte with oat milk. Both were good and just right on the sweetness scale for both. We don't like super sweet drinks. The decor is really cute. Definitely set up for social media selfies/ussies.

Loved it! Ordered in lock down v2 and didn’t have to wait long to get our order ready. Every dish was incredibly good, the rolls, the chicken teriyaki, tempura and tori kara age. We will definitely come back and try more food, it’s been one of the best meals we have had in lock down.
