The best restaurants serving Japanese food in East of England

Brilliant food, the taster menu was exceptional and paired with the black cod… stunning! Would highly recommend

Absolutely incredible. Me and my boyfriend came for the first time today, we couldn’t get over how good the food was and how nice the staff were. The bill was extremely reasonable considering we ordered 3 drinks, 3 starters and 2 mains, the bill came to around £50. One of the cheapest restaurants in Leigh and some of the best food we’ve had here. We will definitely be back! Thank you guys ❤️🌹💋🍱

We went on bank holiday Monday for the lunch special, we hadn’t booked and it was packed! The service was very slow but the food was delicious and presented beautifully. The lunch was great value at just under £10 each. It was our first visit and we will definitely come again on a quieter day.

Visited here a few times for dinners out, amazing service and food each and every time, quite a high end pricing however is absolutely worth it for what your given. Would absolutely recommend the pork gyozas, my favourite thing on the menu. Definitely worth a visit if your around and enjoy Japanese food.

The environment at Koryuu was so lovely. The soft jazz music really set a mellow tone for the evening, which I really loved for my birthday dinner. The food was delicious and was served efficiently - so everybody was able to eat together. The staff was also so accommodating and friendly, all of my guests felt so comfortable and happy. I spoke to the owners of the restaurant (Suman and Sujan) and they were so understanding of all my requests and last minute changes for my dinner. The waitress, Ramsi, was so sweet and approachable - I was so glad to have her waiting my table because she communicated so nicely with everyone. Hannah is such a delight - extremely helpful and well knowledgeable about where everything is at the restaurant. I am so glad I chose Koryuu for my dinner - would most definitely recommend for others.

disappointed. it’s not bad, but i won’t call it korean fried chicken. just a fried chicken. authentic korean fried chicken is different and tasted different.

Excellent takeaway from Ohayo this evening - mostly tuna and salmon sashimi, nigiri, rolls, but also edamame and tempura. Lovely chap took our order. Will definitely order from Ohayo again!

Upon arrivals, we were brief with several bottomless rules including only one drink per person at any one time and the last order will need to be placed 15 minutes before the end of the 90 minutes from the start time. Some of us ordered sushi and only given soy sauce without wasabi, when asked for wasabi, it took a while to arrive leaving us unable to start eating the food. Wasabi should automatically be served for sushi! The rest of the food was okay, nothing impressive. The drinks were slow to arrive, taking a painful 10-20 minutes each time. They deliberately keeping drinks at the bar to slow things down, we were left without drinks most of the time. We called the manager after we saw him making a hand gesture to the waiting stuff to stop serving us drinks. He implies that between 4 people we have had 24 drinks and no longer can have anymore despite we still have 20 minutes left within our timeslot. Another manager also suggested that we must drink responsibly and its his responsibility to ensure that! We were not loud nor behaving inappropriately, just 4 ladies in 40’s and 50’s having food and drinks. I have visited Katana Peterborough 6 times in the last 4 months, but this is the first bottomless brunch here – NEVER AGAIN nor that I will return again.

We’ve dined at Kazoku for more than five years and every time the food has been fantastic and the service has been good. It’s a small restaurant with a cosy atmosphere.

Quite possibly the worst meal we’ve ever had. Sloppy Paella with lumps of fat, not beef. Steak was a lump of fat. Seabass was a tiny piece of fish covered in some cheap sauce. Calamari was awful. Drinks and service were fine. Will never be returning and recommend everyone to steer clear.

Me and my boyfriend frequently get the chicken Katsu and sushi from here. It never disappoint, the chicken Katsu has a generous portion of Rice and Chicken, with plenty of sauce. The sushi is also always so fresh with a great variation to choose from. Staff are helpful and friendly, very lovely family.

Great location with nice sushi. Thank you for your amazing service

Warm welcoming, friendly manner service of staff Lovely mixtured atmosphere British n Japanese. All the dishes are delicious, we all enjoyed them. Deep-fried authentic Japanese disjes are mainly available. We're hopimg to go back for Sushi night which needs to sign up in advance and happens occasionally. Thank you so much, I had an amazing experience for my family birthday celebration. 😄

An excellent meal, we ordered a real selection of dishes and all were equally good. It was very popular and service was very efficient. My advice would be to order courses as you want them as it can feel overwhelming if they arrive at the same time.

We tried a takeaway from here and was extremely impressed. The portions of food were huge and really good quality and taste. We had the chicken katsu curry, teriyaki beef and Thai crackers. All of it was delicious, looking forward to trying more things on the menu.
