The best restaurants serving Japanese food in London

You can order food at the self-service counter and the food quality is also good.

Delicious food, 5 courses creatively presented and friendly atmosphere. Restaurant seems heavily booked so it is best to reserve in advance.

We went there on a Friday night with a booking. It's a small place, and when we sat down, they told us that we had an hour and a half to eat. The music was lovely and even though the tables are very close together, it's still easy to have a chat. I'd definitely recommend the yellowtail jalapeño sashimi and the scallop nigiri. When we got the bill, there were two drinks from another table on it, but they corrected the mistake when we pointed it out. All things considered, it was a pretty good experience. (Apr 2025)

A terrible place where the staff let you access the smoking terrace and order a drink and then explain you in an unpleasant way that you can’t smoke your own cigar… if you do it you have to be charged for your own cigar…. Never seen that in the world ….

Went here in May 2024 with my boyfriend for our anniversary and wow. It was absolutely amazing. The interior was so cool, staff were extremely friendly and helped with recommending things for us, and the food and drinks were UNREAL. My favorite was the dragon roll, it was the best I’ve ever had in my life and I can’t stop thinking about it. Every single food and drink we ordered just blew me away and I can’t wait to come back here. Staff, food, vibes 100/10

Just tried to visit but you're closed!!! Please tell me you're going to reopen...this has ruined my day. Sad noot.

Delicious tapas, nice wine et great atmosphere. For sure, that's not fine food but the products are good and the cooker is talented. Whatever, I love thise place!

So, so delicious. Wow. I am still drooling and trying to work out how soon I can return. Very attentive service. Thank-you!

AmazIng food, and everything was on point!!! I definitely recommend and would go again Dragon roll was top tier 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Incredible food! A lovely warm atmosphere and the staff are very nice. A very good selection of gluten free options, and they have gluten free soy sauce too! Great choice for coeliacs/gluten free - I’ve been here many times and will continue to come back.

ロンドンで和食を食べたくなったらJapanese Restaurant Miyamaへ。セントポール大聖堂の近くにあります。ランチの定食を注文。お味噌汁の出汁の味が落ち着きます。

Quality of sushi is outstanding. Generous portions and fresh cuts. One of our favourite places for a data night in the area.

We were ‘dragged’ in off the streets by a couple of members of staff touting for business and it was the best decision of the weekend in London. Beautiful top floor setting overlooking Trafalgar Square and St Martins place. The food was fantastic, the service first class. I’m coeliac and the knowledge of the menu and gluten was excellent and they use a gf soy which opens up pretty much all of the menu.

Rude impolite staff members. As per old reviews, chicken katsu is clearly undercooked even though their comments page say otherwise! Avoid avoid!

Proper Japanese food. Fresh ingredients. Not asian Ish like itsu or wasabi. Trust me.
