The best restaurants serving Japanese food in England

We stumbled on this place for a pre kings theatre catch up - WHAT A FIND! Cute little place where you’re in your own little area, food was amazing, great friendly service, everything you want! They were turning people away, so would recommend booking in advance.

A cool place for authentic food. Food was delicious. Server was kind and accomodating. 10/5. I'd come again.

A real hidden gem, both the sushi and noodle dishes are absolutely delicious and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

A great evening celebrating our daughter, Isabella's 17th birthday. As always the food was sensational but what made it was the service we received from Joao. We had a friend join us, who was new to Sticks and Joao did his absolute best to accommodate her needs. He regularly checked if we were ok and everything was good. Wow! We all left very impressed. Sticks you have a very valuable member of your team and we hope to be served by Joao again. Thank you for making our daughters birthday great!

Really good Japanese restaurant, despite me only having katsu curry and being almost the last person there.

Lovely food, first time in this restorant, I like it, 🙌🙏

Had a drink there the only problem the toilets were not very clean

**UPDATE - Sadly now closed!** Incredible experience! Wonderful service, absolutely amazing food, excellent quality drinks. We went for the bottomless summer menu, tried all the vegetarian dishes which were all outstanding and amazing value. The staff were really attentive and warm. Best Japanese food we’ve had outside of Japan! Made our wedding anniversary extremely special and we can’t wait to visit again with friends. Thank you Sushido!

OK Japanese restaurant, firstly it's cash only, not sure if it's always been like this or it's a temporary situation but it's weird they have this restriction. It's nicely decorated inside and they have some native Japanese staff working there. The menu is varied, they do ramen, bento boxes, bbq, etc.. Ramen is OK, it's not Japanese standard but no where is outside of Japan in my opinion. It's better than shoryu, I feels it's better then ramen culture. The Tonkotsu ramen was OK, the noodles were medium thickness, not hakata style thin noodles. They were firm and chewy, soup was creamy but lacked depth. Bamboo was OK, egg was Ok in texture, but the yolk wasn't slightly runny which is how I like it, and it lacked flavour. The chashu was OK, it was seared to make it crispy, at least it was thin cut unlike ramen culture where it was too thick. The spicy duck ramen was not as good as Tonkotsu ramen, the duck was roast duck but it was sliced like Cantonese roast duck but it lacked flavour, but was not dry or chewy. The spiciness comes from the chilli sauce condiment that you can find on the table, it's not too spicy but it's nothing special. The good thing is that the food is served quickly, not like shoyu where it feels like they're ubering the food from another restaurant.

Absolutely loved it. Food was delicious! Didn't disappoint at all. We also took our 8 month old toddler with us, and even she couldn't stop eating yakisoba noodles, udon noodles and rice!

Great food in a chilled environment.

Nice place. Authentic Japanese sushi. Worth trying. Parking space along the road.

Itsu is always a good choice. This branch has good staff. Milat was very helpful. I really enjoyed.

What an absolute gem just moments from Waterloo and the London Eye! We tried the 11-course Omakase tasting experience, and it was truly exceptional. Every dish was meticulously prepared and absolutely delicious. The attention to detail was incredible, from the presentation to the way each course was served. We especially loved the Hassun and the creative Fish & Chips presentation, but the standout for us was the Wagyu Sukiyaki Rice, simply outstanding. The Wagashi selection was the perfect way to round off a fantastic meal. Highly recommended!

They had a large party in the restaurant and it completely threw the front of house and kitchen staff. They took the drinks and food order fairly quickly and then nothing half or 45 min! A couple that came after us were served (but slowly) and “take away” orders seemed to be processed. After asking for attention a couple of times and assurances given nothing happened. In the end we got up and walked out! They ruined what should have been a nice evening. Won’t be going again and can’t in good faith recommend anything about the place.
