The best restaurants serving Japanese food in London

This is a nice place. The setting is good and service is excellent. Its walking distance from the subway and we went here because of the Financial times review. It was worth every penny. Friendly staff, good service and the suchi was extremely fresh. The handrolls to die for . This was worth 110,- pounds and we left the table contemplating if we would go back the next day. Keep it up, we will definitely be back.

This is for the queen street branch. I used to visit this place a few years ago pre-pandemic a few times a week. Food was fresh, tasty and plentiful. Having been here twice in recent months, I am thoroughly disappointed it’s absolutely crap. Teriyaki chicken now tastes more boiled with a sauce dumped on top and the meat portions are tiny. I also had karaage on the 2nd occasion. The girl asked what rice/vege combo I wanted (?) but it wasn’t followed anyway. The portions again were meh and the sauce was some horrible clear glue looking crap with no real flavour. It was very much like an old Asian takeaway with msg from the 80’s. It’s a damned shame it’s so bad now, but people are still happy to queue here. I used to miss this place when I went to our suburban kokoru chain but even that is tastier and better value than this place.

Great beer at happy hour prices. Crispy wings with choice of many coatings. Service was excellent. Visiting London but will stop in again someday.

The speciality of this small restaurants are ramen soups. Very delicious and generous sizes! The waiter explains how their concept works if one is not a “ramen professional”:). All in all a friendly atmosphere and fair prizes

stumbled across this unassuming little place on a night out, group of four, had some shared appetisers and some great authentic Japanese food, would totally recommend and the price was great, very surprising. amazing

Tasty authentic food. Friendly, efficient staff. Just what we were after. Lovely flavours and some of the condiments you can buy .

AVOID! Ordered the 30pcs sushi platter and other stuff via deliveroo, the sushi platter was completely different to their photos and it came with warm and gooey stuff on top of some of the sushi, which bled to other sushi and were DISGUSTING! And of course they won’t do anything about it! See photos🤮

Went hoping for lunch with my son. It was borded up with graffiti all over the shutters. This place has completely closed down.

We went here for an early dinner. There was now one in the restaurant at that time, but people came a little later. There was no atmosphere, no background music - even though we could hear some from the kitchen, just waiting staff miling around. I was very disappointed by the food and menu choices. It was very basic, no one bothered with the dishes presentation and the flavours could be much improved. It felt like it was just put together in the kitchen. Service was also basic. Would NOT recommend it, at least this one.

Had a nasty 48hr food poisoning experience after eating a burger here - couldn't have been anything else i ate that day. Check your food is cooked properly if ordering fom here.

Super duper yummy and lovely service. Great dessert. The pistachio cake was my fav. Will come back soon.

Really enjoyed our dinner here. We started with Endeme and gyoza both were yummy. The California roll was the best I’ve ever had. Then we each had noodle soup ( Udone and soba) one with chicken and one with tofu. Both were perfect. Service was friendly and attentive. Would absolutely go back here.

Es un japonés tradicional que sirve de forma muy correcta los clásicos de la cocina nipona. Las frituras son estupendas y las temperas también. El pescado en sashimi es correcto. Pero podría ser mejor. Un poquito desaborido. Pero aún así aceptable. No es barato pero es para repetir.

The ordering and delivery side of this were absolutely fine, but the quality of the sushi was bad... and given the name of the place has the word "sushi" in it, you might have a reasonable expectation that the sushi should be good, as well as the ramen. From my experience, the grains of rice were pretty much indistinguishable from each other, becoming pretty much a homogenous mush, and the seaweed was chewy. The size of the portions of fish seemed normal. Size-wise, the nigiri rice beds (whatever they're called) seemed too small.

The service is super efficient, at the same time friendly and helpful. The food arrived very quickly, looks delicious and tastes amazing. The restaurant decor is cool, with sumo art and cherry blossom on the ceiling. This is clearly a well known and loved restaurant with locals.
