The best restaurants serving Japanese food in East Midlands

We went on a Friday night and had the teppenyaki for dinner for a family of five. We chose several dishes from the deluxe set menu and from the children’s menu. Can I just say Katana is a great and fun spot especially for a birthday or special event. We had Santos as our server/chef. He was excellent and made us all giggle, especially the children. Definitely worth visiting. We left with full bellies and the mains were very delicious, especially the teriyaki salmon.

Warm welcome, staff were very friendly and helpful. Fast and efficient service, food was absolutely perfect! Would highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful, fantastic food and bubble tea. Lovely friendly staff, this is definitely my go to place in Melton when I want a beautiful drink with or without food .

Stumbled across this Japanese restaurant when we were wandering around Oakham. It took us by surprise, the food was absolutely delicious. I've eaten a fair amount of Japanese food and this was one of the best. A little gem.

This hidden gem of a sushi place is an absolute delight for any sushi enthusiast. The staff greeted us with warm smiles and a genuine passion for the cuisine they serve. Every bite is a revelation, a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation. The chef's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every piece, from the delicate arrangement to the carefully chosen garnishes. The menu offers an impressive variety, catering to both sushi connoisseurs and newcomers. Whether you're a fan of classic nigiri, sashimi, or daring specialty rolls, there's something for everyone.

We had booked the Berlin Blue Door Supper Club for my friend's hen and it was such a lovely experience!! Mark and Johanna were fabulous and the food was absolutely delicious 😍😍 They catered for various dietary requirements as well. We wish you guys could move to London so we could book this more often! I would 10000% reccomend this to anyone!

place is amazing <3 first that kind of place in Nottingham when employes are friendly. service was lovely and food even better <3

As sushi lovers me and my daughter have always been looking for good sushi in our local area. How did I not know this place even existed in Worksop, and that it was right on our doorstep?! OML we now order this most weeks and we love our sushi nights again. We always order 4 mini maki sets of 8 and a tub of seaweed salad. Everything looks and tastes amazing and is so fresh! It travels well for home delivery and the customer service is good. The complimentary chopsticks and extras make this so authentic! ...although when asked, the lady on the phone was happy to ommit the Soy sauce (too strong for our tastes), the wasabi and the Pickled ginger (we just don't like them). Instead, we received extra sweet chilli mayonnaise instead. We love Always Sushi and would recommend giving the food a try as soon as you can! :)

My son absolutely loved the 30 Piece Maki Sushi Set from SunSushi Northampton. Unfortunately, I didn't get to sample any - as he wolfed them all down whilst gaming 🚉 (How is that even possible ???) 🤯 I was pleasantly surprised when I visited the premises this on this occasion - as the whole shopfront has been 'opened up' with the removal of dark window stickers . . so there is a new 'spacious, clean and fresh feel to the establishment.' A special 'Thank You' to Katia . . who is really pleasant and a great business manager.

Cosy little restaurant serving authentic Japanese food. Very tasty dishes, cooked fresh. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Will definitely visit them again!

Thought we’d give Mitsuki a try after seeing the reviews and it didn’t disappoint. Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was amazing, everything was delicious! Definitely will be back!

Suberbly tasty dishes The margaritas are top teir and the prawn toast is a fantastic tasty twist

The food is phenomenal, maybe the best I’ve ever had. The chef is super friendly, fantastic service. For the quality of the food, the prices are so beyond reasonable. Specially the chicken katsu curry bowl and the softshell crab hand roll are amazing. 10/10

Came here with my friends to try Sake and thought we would have some food with it. I was really happy with the trying of the sake with a good selection both cold and hot. The food was really good would recommend the chicken Kagare definately. The things that i would say as feedback i'm usually used to a mayonaise with the tempura prawns or the fried kagare. It was a soy based sauce instead. The chicken Katsu was pretty good too. The star of the show for me was the Korean Bibimbap and the belly tuni sashimi.
