The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Abbey Reading South East

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.

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.

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。
