The best restaurants serving Japanese food in England

It is a very good and beautiful place. I recommend it🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

The sushi is really good and affordable, and for takeout sushi this would have been 5 stars! I definitely recommend this place for the food and have previously rated it 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ However, I’ve had to take out one star because of the dine-in experience. The service was good but the seating area could use a deep clean or even redecorating. Unfortunately it felt a bit dirty and worn - the table, the floors, and even the walls. I hope you can take this as constructive criticism though, because I won’t let this stop me from eating at Matane Sushi and if the cleanliness was improved it would take my review back up to 5 stars :)

I liked it a lot, in fact I would say amazing. I highly recommend it.

Everything is very tasty!! Be sure to stop by.

Honestly? I don’t understand why does this place have such good reviews. The food was very bad. Katsu sauce very artificial and the beef in pad thai was inedible.

I came for dinner my birthday. We all love sushi, and after living in London for 20 years, I missed good sushi restaurants. Cognito was recommended by a friend, so i decided to give it a try. The service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. My tried one of their fantastic in house designed cocktails, which was absolutely delicious. The best I have had outside London. We all ordered many dishes of the menu The dragon role, pork belly and the sashimi were fantastic. Sushi is an art, known for its clean, precise preparation and perfectly balanced flavors. The chef at Cognito is clearly dedicated to mastering this craft. The rice in the sushi was light and delicate, providing a wonderful base for the dishes. The fillet beef in the Gyoza was rich and flavorful, and while they were deep-fried, this added a delightful crunch that we thoroughly enjoyed. The dipping sauce had a subtle flavor that complemented the Gyoza perfectly. The fillet beef sushi. The fish and chip role also needs to be tried All I can say is that Coginto is now a firm favourite and I go to Coginto at least once a week, I love coming for the lunch menu which is the best value ever, if this restaurant was in London there would be queues around the block, at only 20 quid you get some awesome dishes, and you get to choose from a house wine or soft drink, two dishes from the lunch menu served with miso soup and rice. I normally have the 6pc sushi omakase and chicken skewers. I also love the non alcoholic cocktails, designed Lucas are just the best. As far as I am concerned Cognito is the best place to eat and drink in Lincoln

Good takes too long to come, it took more than 40 minutes

Absolutely lovely. They squeezed us in on a busy Friday evening and we enjoyed a 'tapas' of delicious dishes in a lively but not noisy atmosphere. Thank you all.

We came here for the 11 course omakase sushi, having booked with a Virgin Experience voucher. We were really impressed by the food, very tasty and worth the experience. The atmosphere was calm and service was excellent from everyone, especially to sushi chefs Masaii and Jhun.

Went here in May 2024 with my boyfriend for our anniversary and wow. It was absolutely amazing. The interior was so cool, staff were extremely friendly and helped with recommending things for us, and the food and drinks were UNREAL. My favorite was the dragon roll, it was the best I’ve ever had in my life and I can’t stop thinking about it. Every single food and drink we ordered just blew me away and I can’t wait to come back here. Staff, food, vibes 100/10

Fantastic meal. Super fresh + super tasty. Ordered a load of sharing plates + everything was amazing. Staff very friendly + quick service. Would highly recommend.

Tried again, as we love Asian food, cocktails were so slow, but assume because of orders and lack of bar staff. Food was ok, although my noodles wasn’t warm, let alone hot. The menu is very very small, we feel the other restaurant on west street offers more choice, Rhangtang.

The waiter spilled drinks on my friend’s coat ruining it completely, after emailing the restaurant they simply stopped replying and accused us of lying as they couldn’t ‘prove’ that this was the case.. Ignorant management

Food was tasty but room temperature. Menu confusing and didn’t know what to order. Staff brought replacement drinks without explaining that our choice wasn’t available. Was hoping for a live cooking table but was disappointed to receive a basic table.

Nice decorum and atmosphere. Nice view from the terrasse. Small space for dancing and music. Better for closed meeting.
