The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Grove Kingston upon Thames London

Food good, great drinks, service average. We waited 25 mins before having drinks ordered - then there was confusion regarding what we ordered. Tables around us trying to get attention of waiters all night - first time in Kingston, we’ll stick to Richmond which is managed better

Loved the bulgogi! The pancake is also amazing

Great food and service. Always happy to eat here.

Great, helpful staff, especially Monika was very pleasant and helpful. Food was delicious and atmosphere was great. Overall great visit.

It wasn't anything special. The food was ok and the service the same. I would not go there for the special treatment.

Wow! The selection was vast and yet so approachable. The rice bowls are amazing - so tasty, filled with fresh protein (sweet chilli chicken in mine) and veggies. I had a large bowl for lunch and honestly don’t think I’ll need to eat again until tomorrow… Will definitely be back for more!! So much to try - including the pudding menu!!

The staff was absolutely lovely which is the reason for the second star. The food on the other hand had very little going for it besides being edible. We ordered the chicken katsu, chicken ramen, beef barbecue buns, edamame, and tama squid. Everything was pretty much flavorless and the katsu curry tasted fresh out of a packet. Despite the curry, the katsu chicken was alright. The spicy sauce on the barbecue buns masked the flavorlessness of everything on it but failed to have its own flavor besides spice. The ramen broth tasted as if the flavor had vacated the building, months ago. The edamame was salted nicely, but had a strange white thing on it which left both of us afraid to continue eating. Finally, the tama squid was perhaps the most appetizing thing, which was because it was very deep fried. Will likely not dine here again sadly. Thank you again to the kind staff and sorry to have to leave such a frank and disparaging review.

We wanted to eat something warm, since they were closing we weren’t allowed to eat inside, which is fair . We asked if hot food was also half price since they closing they said no. So as we could not eat in and neither food was discounted we decided to leave. Just to witnessed all hot unsold food was thrown away in n plastic bags. Not only waste but also environmentally unfriendly business. Not to mention a very unfriendly cashier (female) . Not the place I will return also the quality of food has downgraded.
