The best restaurants serving Japanese food in London

Well prepared, Good food brilliantly presented at this New Michelin star restaurant. Enjoyed fish, scallop lamb and artichoke dishes. Attentive service.

Had a fabulous Bento box for lunch here . Chicken teriyaki and sushi and sashimi were all delicious. Casual atmosphere and friendly staff makes this a really great local restaurant

Had lunch here by chance a couple of weeks ago. We were lucky to get a table as it was pretty much full Nothing but good things to say about the food and service. It was all excellent and great value for money. If you are uncertain as to where to eat in Stoke Newington then I’d put Aun pretty high on my list. This recommendation is given without reservation!

Itsu restaurant Strand 32-33 Strand, London WC2N 5HY We stumbled across this restaurant by chance whilst looking for a place to have lunch near Trafalgar Square & Charing Cross Station. The food appears to be freshly prepared, more than adequate in quantity, very satisfying in quality and value for money. A variety of sauces are available to suit all tastes. I would have preferred a little more wasabi provided with the lunches but that’s a personal choice. The seating arrangements are not the most comfortable nor convenient with narrow stools and facing other customers literally a meter opposite. Furthermore, this establishment does not accept cash hence bring your card with you.(A mute point: call me old fashioned). Finally there are no toilet facilities available (apologies if there are and I missed it). With all the “negatives” considered, if you got your bank card, you want a quick lunch and you don’t need the toilet it’s worth visiting this establishment for the food.

Durante un viaje de negocios de 2 días, estaba pasando el rato en Earl's Court para encontrar un lugar para comer por la noche. Solo quería tener un ambiente familiar. Acabo de ver la entrada de Mai Food, muy pequeña, pero el menú parecía que es un restaurante tradicional japonés que me encanta. Entré y me siento como en casa! Experiencia increíble. . . El menú afuera no dice la verdad, todos los maravillosos platos están adentro. Por favor, da un paso adelante y tira de la puerta. Ambiente agradable, muy buena comida y una elección increíble. ¡No te arrepentirás! Estoy planeando volver cada vez que pueda solo para comer aquí. Este es un lugar adecuado, si desea pasar una gran noche, si está con 2 o 3 amigos, o solo. Este es un lugar pequeño, para recomendar!

Absolutely terrible costumer service, food was basically thrown at us and staff were very rude. Not coming back!

Bueno, bonito y barato. Local nuevo y espacioso, sirven comida asiática de cierta calidad. Centrico. Hay franquicias por todo Londres y en este caso muy cerca de Wsstminster Abbey.

We bought 2 hot dishes ...but it was not hot, barely lukewarm. Sauce congealed, cold noodles. This food was just edible but certainly NOT ENJOYABLE!!! I have eaten piping hot food in other branches , so what's wrong in this branch!!! It would seem from observation that the staff are very busy processing deliveroo orders ...perhaps that's who gets the hot food!!!! and in shop customers are 2nd class. AVOID and eat elsewhere.

Excellent food and friendly prompt service - but our evening was spoilt by music so ridiculously loud that it was impossible to even have a conversation without shouting. Also by 9pm we were sat virtually in the dark. This has such potential to be great but won’t return in a hurry.

As a Japanese foodie this experience was a disappointment. The fresh Udon station is good feature and certainly the USP, however beyond that all the 'add ons' to complete your noodles we tried were bland and tasteless or overpowering with salt. With the high prices and the slow service to pay (that left our food cold-warm) and the staff showing no initiative to rectify, the experience was poor and disappointing. Plenty of food choices at the 02 instead of this one!

It's a shame. I used to come to itsu king's road to have my dinner, and I always order Thai Chicken with no veggie. Unfortunately, today the people in this shop let me down by saying that they cannot make it "out of the standard". Team leader and possibly an assistant manager (as she wasnt wearing uniform) said the same thing. What could possibly go wrong if you just dont serve a scoop of g'ng in that cup? I honestly dont know, and I used to work in itsu for few years as a team leader. That sounded just they wanted to finish the pots ready in the hot pass, instead of making a new one, cause I came to this same shop last week and I was served as usual. I truly hope someone kind enough in head office read this comment and take some action. It's not that hard to get a bit flexible when a regular customer order something. Julian Metcalfe would never let that happen

Sushi muy fresco, sashimi y Negamaki. Realmente disfruté de todos nuestros platos y el ambiente fresco notting colina con un servicio muy eficiente.

Excellent meal in an interesting location. Having gone in and out of Waterloo for 20years it wasn't until someone suggested going here that I found the place! I'm not a fan of Thai food so was slightly hesitant, but I shouldn't have been. If you didn't know this place existed at the back of the pub you'd never find it... We had a mix of meals between us but everyone spoke highly of the food. Will definitely go back in the future

The food seems to have gone downhill since the local down. I thought my miso soup was very tasteless and my daughter’s dumplings soggy and anaemic looking. I used the think Itsu was a good fast food place for cheep and cheerful food but I suspect they have lost a bit of quality control. A real shame as they were the best of a stuff bunch of reasonable chains. I hope things pick up again soon.
