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.

Honestly my go to. Bit expensive but best in Reading 😍

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.

Assorted tempura and the rice-roll are recommended, I would order it everytime dinner there, ....but Ramen fair

Quality & delivery service excellent as always. Prices are increasing and they no longer give a discount for over £20 spend. The loyalty stamp discount is still in place which helps but they need to be careful on pricing against competitors.

I recently visited Itsu, a Japanese restaurant located on Broad Street in Reading, and had an exceptional dining experience. As someone trying Japanese cuisine for the first time, I was thoroughly impressed. We ordered the Veggie Dragon Balls and Korean Stir Fry Noodles, both of which were delicious and beautifully presented. The ambience of the eatery was inviting and comfortable, creating a perfect setting for a relaxed meal. The service was outstanding; the staff were friendly and attentive, offering excellent suggestions that truly enhanced our dining experience. The recommendations provided by our server were spot on, making our meal even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was the quality of the sauces, particularly the Soy Sauce Teriyaki, which added a delightful flavor to the dishes. The attention to detail and the high quality of the ingredients used in the food were evident in every bite. Overall, our visit to Itsu was a memorable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore Japanese cuisine. The combination of great food, superb service, and a pleasant atmosphere makes Itsu a must-visit restaurant in Reading.

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, not really a really Japanese. The staff a little cold. Also a 3 year old kid, that don’t eat Japanese food was charged.

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.
