The best restaurants serving Japanese food in South East

So refreshing to have a authentic jaapanese restaurant on pur doorstep.

The food was delicious, varied and a good selection of vegetarian options for the vegetarian in our group. Good value for money and a big size portion.

Lovely location, but waitresses need a good reboot not sure if hat and wasn’t available on the menu . And biggest let down no fresh wasabi !!!

My wife and I love this place!!!!!!! Actually we like it so much that we come every Friday to get some awesome Katsu Curry.

Small portions, generic and boring menu. The tofu salad was mostly just raw vegetables cut too big to comfortably eat. Not enough tofu, sauce, rice or avocado. The kimchi dumplings were squishy and bland. I've eaten better from a motorway service station.

Went there for mother’s day… It was fun and good experience ..chef is very entertaining .. i didn’t catch the egg 😅 maybe next visit… 😃

so i saw some cucumber hosomaki in the fridge and thought it look delicious but i was terribly mistaken the seaweed was incredibly watery and you could see visible wet marks in the box

Ib have been gong to Umami regularly for a while now. There is a new menu now and I think new oners. the food is always delicious as it was on this visit. Very friendly staff too. A hidden gem at the bottom of the high street. Worth making the trip.

Went here before a local gig. You don’t need to book and the queue was relatively quick given how popular it was. All the food is very authentic and well cooked. Staff all on the ball and friendly. Perfection for a pre show meal.

What an amazing restaurant! Super friendly and fast service. Get the kupi mayo as a side for the Japanese fried chicken :)

Food was good B- ?, but Katsu chicken(small plate) was tiny. I mean chicken breast was small. I would say half the size you can buy in super market. As for the Tan Tan Beef ramem, broth was nice on the creamy side and slightly spicy. Good for people with little tolerance to spice. I don't understand sweet corn? Why? We don't digest it anyway. Narutomaki would be better choice. Both dishies tasted good and i can recommend trying both of them. I have eaten better ramen in my life. Biggest con of todays visit was the AIR con blasting freezing cold air causing some guests to change table or even decided to eat outisde. There was moments when i felt i sit in cold storage rather than restaurant. Something that need to be looket at.

Had a lovely lunch. Selection of grill and salmon rolls. Great service and fun with on table grill.

Good food and the place is really nice. I’d say that is a bit price specially considering the area. Sushi better than ramen.

Had lunch there a few times and also poped in just for coffee and cakes. The food is always delicious from the special menu to the deserts. The place is really cute and the staff really friendly. The cakes and mochi are by far the best in town, the yusu cheesecake and bunny mochi are my ultimate favourites and I can't wait to go back.
