The best restaurants serving Japanese food in East of England

Food was very good however service was slow and our booking was questioned upon arrival by quite a a rude staff member

Disappointing experience at Kazoku. The service was very slow, considering they had plenty of staff on hand, and to make matters worse, one waitress had an attitude from the moment we arrived. She seemed uninterested and unfriendly, which really set a negative tone for the meal. It’s frustrating when poor service overshadows the food. Wouldn't recommend if you expect decent customer care.

Relaxed atmosphere, great service and authentic flavours! We got miso soup ,ebi katsu , wakame salad, veggie volcano rolls, veggie gyoza and ebi ten rolls and it was more than enough for 2 people. Everything was prepared with fresh ingredients and tasted amazing!!

Usually my favourite sushi place , it was busy on the day I visited and there was a sign saying they were short staffed. However after waiting at least five minutes and not being acknowledged, I looked at all the tables and none of them had food . Normally the service is very efficient and quick, as well as the food being excellent. On this occasion as I had very little time to spare I decided that I would not wait, very unusual for me as I had gone out of my way to visit this restaurant. Not a very satisfying experience

Welcoming staff with lovely manners and brilliant chefs making lovely food. The Sake is excellent. Treated very well and highly recommended visiting this welcoming restaurant. A wonderful experience

Very fresh. Rolls are generously size. As good as sushi in California

I'm a sushi LOVER, and I have to admit I've walked past this place many times because it didn't look appealing from the outside. Today, I stopped by M&S for a quick sushi snack, but their offering was £6 and looked awful. So, I decided to check this place out, and I was blown away by the freshness of the fish. I got emotional with my first bite 🥹I didn’t realize it could taste this good! My husband and I usually go to Shiki because the owner is Japanese, and the food is great, but this place is way cheaper with flavors that feel much more premium. I mean it! From today this place officially become my new favorite sushi spot! I was the Filipino girl who got a takeaway earlier by the way..free meal perhaps for a lovely review? 😅 On a serious note… I don’t usually write reviews—this is only my second one ever—but this place deserves it. And yes, I know I have red wine in the photo; I’m aware it's traditionally paired with white 😂😂 but I’m just not a fan of white wine…sooo shhh… I'm a red wine lover through and through! Definitely will be coming back again 🥰🥰🥰

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.

A good sushi restaurant with quick to respond staff.

Absolutely amazing Ramen, this is more than a noodle bar. Not the biggest restaurant and located down a passage just across from Kings. You enter down the stairs and end up in this wonderful basement selling the most wonderful food. Not the biggest menu but everything on it is good. The doors open at 12.00 and soon after that, it is full. Service is quick and efficient. About mid price for the food, but well worth it.

Great service and delicious food. Staff were super friendly and great with kids. We had a good table by a revolting belt and the choice of dishes was excellent. Resulted in trying so many different once. Good value!

Ordered Massaman Curry, extra spicy, Thai Sticky Chilli Wings & Egg Fried Rice, absolutely Awesome! Will definitely order again.

Enjoy the dinning here ladt nogjt for my birthday. Best japanese restaurant in Hatfield/Welwyn garden city. Attentive service. I particularly enjoyed the sushi dishes. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back!

Food is okay but when you select a time for delivery expect it to be at least an hour in advance. They blame it on Uber but who knows? 🤷‍♂️ As a response to you; yes football would have made your lives difficult. That match finished well over 2 hours before I placed the order however and traffic cams were showing only 15 minutes journey time. I'd recommend investing in some more drivers. This happened the week before as well when football was not a thing.

Such a nice lunch. Had the special, mushroom tempura don and it was delicious. Lovely to get decent veggie options and staff were great too.
