The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Reading South East

Lo intenté por primera vez esta noche. Pedí la ensalada Katsu. Fue muy agradable y sin duda volveré a hacer esto de nuevo. Pedí vía Deliveroo y el servicio fue rápido y la presentación de la comida era buena también.

It was not bad, but it was too salty for me.

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.

Absolutely delicious food! Placed an order the other day and it won’t be the last time. Very authentic, bursting with flavours and cooked perfectly😉

The sag aloo some of the potatoes were not cooked thoroughly. Some were quite hard while others were soft. Delivery was 5 minutes late. Chicken was nice though

Self checkout makes it easy to order. The sushi was tasty and seemed fresh, though no pickled ginger. The miso soup was a little bland, was too much bland soup, and only a few tofu cubes. The 2nd floor gives a nice view, but the thing i disliked the most is the tables that felt sticky. I'm not sure if it is from a lack of cleaning or from the worn down lacquer, or both leading to spills soaking in the wood, but at least they provide small trays. The tables are nice and big, 8 person tables if i remember correctly and it was not busy at all on the 29th December 3pm

Itsu is probably the most authentic non Japanese owned chain in the UK We went 2 days ago to find new products on the menu including an array of snacks. The Thai dishes are just incredible with a beautiful flavour profile that is just mouth watering. The staff have changed for the better as they are more customer related. Recommendation Go enjoy a good Asian meal. #garystribe #localguide #localguides #letsguide #reading #itsu

We had amazing evening in your Reading brunch. Great good and friendly service. Cant ask for more. Will come back

For a standard chain place, the quality of Kokoro is insane for the price. I tend to order the sweet and chilli chicken with rice. The rice is sticky and perfectly made, the chicken is slightly crispy and the sauce is really sweet and spicy. You get your food within one minute. The only criticism I have is the size of the joint. Three of four small tables to fit one or two people inside.

Good food and lovely staff and helpful

Yuko was our server and made my birthday so very special. Best Wagamamas I have ever been to and will return.

四川火鍋を近くで食べた後で冷やかしがてら訪問。日本の立ち食いの様に茹でたうどんが1食分ごとに置かれており嫌な予感がしたが、予想通り全く腰が無かった。かけ汁も讃岐風ではなく醤油色味が強かった。現地人はパスタも野菜も茹で過ぎが好みなので仕方が無いか。次回は日本式で提供出来るか確認して、出来ない場合は要らないといって去る様にします。唯一の救いは英国にしては安価でした。

Walked into the “restaurant “ on a sunny day and the temperature inside was so cold I couldn’t believe it. I assume they don’t want people to linger? Luckily I’d taken a jacket inside with me but I was still cold. I have a few food allergens and the information on the touchscreen ordering point clearly said ask a member of staff for guidance. That resulted in being given a paper menu with a grid to show what I could or couldn’t have. I’d have preferred some personal input but he’d disappeared. Anyhow, chose a chicken dish on rice. But so did my husband and when they appeared we didn’t know which was which. Very difficult getting assistance to tell us as the only man behind the counter was flitting around like a bee. By the time we had it sorted our food was very cold. It clearly didn’t start hot but now it was quite grim. My husbands looked much more appealing than mine as his chicken had a sauce covering it. Mine looked awful and tasted worse. I don’t know how they cook it but I’d think maybe boiled? It smelt awful :/ I don’t even know why we didn’t just hand it back and ask for a refund. The rice with a bit of sauce was ok but as I said it was cold. I’ve given this establishment two stars. It would have been one except for the fact it seemed quite clean. We will never go back there as long as we live.
