The best restaurants serving Japanese food in East Midlands

Best Japanese in Leicester (in my opinion!). Very good value. There is often a queue at peak times but the wait is worth it. The sashimi is sometimes less than super fresh but I am being very picky. My particular fave is the eel.

Thank you so much to Neil and his staff for giving me and my party, the best time one could have wished for. My guests , not all local, commented on the quality of the meal, tappaniaki so expertly cook. Everything came together, once again thank you for making my 80 th birthday unforgettable.

We went to Cognitio, in Lincoln for our Wedding Anniversary. We had a wonderful meal, the pork gyoza were amazing by far our favourites followed closely by the the Tuna sushi and the pork belly. We were served by Tyler who made us feel welcome and was attentive but not intrusive,she was knowledgeable about all the dishes, a credit to you. This was our 1st visit but certainly won't be our last.

Un pequeño gran lugar que sirve auténtica comida japonesa, presentada maravillosamente y con cuidado. Aunque es un lugar pequeño y los comensales están sentados bastante cerca uno del otro, esto se suma a la atmósfera acogedora y acogedora. El menú es extenso aunque bastante confuso y se beneficiaría de algunas combinaciones sugeridas. No está claro si los platos son entrantes, laterales, de tamaño completo o tapas y con qué se sirven. Una vez que superes ese obstáculo, la comida servida es deliciosa y considerada. He estado varias veces, pero el gran defecto para mí es que los extractores en la cocina no son lo suficientemente potentes y el olor de la freidora de grasa abruma el olor de la comida. A la mañana siguiente, mi cabello y mi ropa apestan absolutamente a grasa. Esto es bastante malo y si pueden resolver esto tendrían aún más éxito

I used to be a regular at Yokoso for years, but my last visit was a big disappointment. The woman making sushi took my cash and gave me change with the same gloves she used to prepare food — then continued rolling sushi without changing them. That’s a serious hygiene issue. Sadly, I won’t be coming back.

My partner and I took my son and daughter in law here for dinner. Loved the decor. Very clean and a warm welcome. Staff were lovely and food was delicious. Had a great evening. Highly recommend.

Came here for a birthday meal (group of 6). Overall, we found it below average and unfortunately wouldn't return. The interior was lovely (awkward seating at the table upstairs, trapped in by the window - had to ask the adjacent table to get in and out), but the service was quite slow, we were left waiting a long time for drinks and food. We almost cancelled our second round of drinks as they only arrived when we had nearly finished. One of our guests' mains was forgotten and only arrived after the rest of us had finished eating, despite asking twice about it, which was a real shame. When the food did arrive, most of the mains were lukewarm rather than hot, apart from the delayed katsu. Starters were fine. They did give a free birthday dessert, which was appreciated! Although that’s quite standard at most places. We had been really excited to try this place, but left feeling disappointed. I personally wouldn’t recommend it, although it may have just been an off day.

Está bien. El sushi está bien pero apenas tiene sabores interesantes (tofu servido completamente sencillo, etc.). Estaría bien si el punto de precio no fuera completamente loco: Creo que eran 36 £ por 32 piezas de sushi (tiene sentido si estás pidiendo sashimi, pero el sushi VEGANO por casi 1 £ la pieza es absolutamente loco). Sin embargo, el personal era encantador y por dentro la decoración es muy agradable.

25 minute wait for excellent food

One of the best Chinese food in town. Any one looking for a nice delicious oriental food should not miss this restaurant.

We absolutely loved our time at Ebi sushi. The atmosphere was amazing, the service was immaculate and to see the sushi chef preparing sushi meals in front of you was an unforgettable experience. The food was fresh, absolutely scrumptious and unique. I really liked Japanese pickles, sushi were sooo tasty and pudding (cheesecake), OMG!!!, one of the best ones in Derby: fresh, not too sweet and has an ideal combination of texture and flavour. My family and I highly recommend Ebi Sushi. P.S. It's better to book a table in advance to avoid disappointment. It was absolutely packed when we went there.

Fue fabuloso, pero desafortunadamente me han dicho que cerró en julio de 2024. Si alguna vez se reabre con los mismos chefs expertos, frente a la casa y la administración, volveré.

Like all Wagamamas very open plan, clean restaurant and speedy service.

What a fantastic service from amazingly hospitable staff. Best Sushi I've ever had, no complaints.
