The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Aldersgate, Cheap City of London, Westminster London

Was here just night with a friend. Overall was really good. Lovely vibe. Nice background music. Great service. Lovely decor in there. It was the first night of a new menu. Had .8 dish tasting menu at £59 a head. (Could have had 6 dishes for £42) Clearly a lot of thought in the menu. The only reason I am deducting a star is because a good few of the early dishes we got had various types of batter on them. For me, I score batter on food as a negative. Fine for the local chippy. Not so much for a fancy restaurant. I wouldn’t mind it in a couple of the dishes - but was there a little too much. In saying that - it wasn’t chip shop batter either. And they also change the menu every week - so definitely worry revisiting. All in all a really enjoyable experience and one I would certainly recommend.

On a street where there are at least two of every kind of restaurant that you can think of, this place strikes a bit of a different tone. The entire “concept” changes every few months - right now, they have the Ivan Ramen folks in there trying out a new menu in the evenings, they’ve got the Just Baked folks doing (big, scary, awesome) desserts during the day, and there’ll be something completely different in a few months. Basically, you are invented to come back for the consistently good people/service, but the menu is wildly different - not a bad idea at all!

Ippudo Ramen has lost its charm. While the broth remains rich, the portions have shrunk, and the toppings lack freshness. The biggest letdown was the service—once attentive, it's now slow and disinterested. For the high price, the overall experience doesn’t deliver the value it used to. Sadly, Ippudo no longer justifies its premium cost.

By far the worse of the Wagamama i have visited to date in my opinion. It was better last year. New management and staff now because I eat at wagamama all the time. It’s changes Now it’s common to sit down even not when busy and be ignored by staff/ not because they are busy. You watch them and they literally just walk by. None of them paying attention to who sits dow. No motivation. Clearly the staff are lacking something fundamental here. Management. Good management l. Experienced management. I love the food and unfortunately for me this great restaurant high is the nearest one to where I live is the worse. Let sown by the most unmotivated staff I have experienced in any restaurant this year so far. When you consider I eat just about every weekend tou can see why I am so compelled to write this review This review is being done so the hard office can step in and provide better training and what ever is required here. I’m a big fan of wagamama as a whole and a regular visitor . I respect people are busy and work hard. These guys are on their feet all day. A lot of staff also don’t get tips. However, this place is unique in that every other place is the same but this place is well below the bar you would expect. I was so annoyed I got up and ordered take away missing out on another stamp on my app.

Ridiculous internet service. Q4 2024 and they can’t take an order. Won’t be using them again. Not sure what planet or country they are working in, but it’s definitely not South west England

Essa também é um excelente restaurante japonês que eu indico a todos meus amigos! Fica localizado na O2 e caso esteja próximo, visite-o !!!

Perfect combination of food and vibes. Fusion recipes on point. Welcoming and friendly staff.. really recommended visit in London

The service was very slow. The price in the bills was different to the one on menu. The food was terrible. The sushi was not from a fresh ingredients. Not recommending this place at all!

Fui con dos amigas pero se les olvidó mi pedido! Nos persiguieron, pero por el momento estaba listo mis amigas habían casi terminado! El personal es bueno, pero en los periodos de máxima ocupación parece que lucha

I never got the food and was charged for it, money not back until now

The food here is of exceptional quality and taste, particularly the Spider Maki and other deep fried sides. The service is also good, staff are very friendly and welcoming. Great location, good value for money.

horrible food the rice totally disgusting... nothing like Brazilian food ! never ever will order again
