The best restaurants serving Japanese food in South East

We had an excellent evening as a family (2 adults and 2x 11 year olds). Valentina was an excellent host with a very professional, warm and kind approach. We all learnt a lot and are looking forward to trying it at home. The free drink and complimentary gyoza added to the great value deal. The waitresses were attentive and knowledgeable as well. Thanks!

Very cosy and good atmosphere. Friendly staff and amazing food! I had a tempura bento box and avocado maki. My partner had chicken udon, cucumber maki and gyozas. We also had some miso soup on the side. We loved everything and will definitely be returning soon 🥰 (The plates and bowls were beautiful too!)

Stood waiting for ages. Staff opening late. Complete waste of time. Usually good food and staff but today they were as useful as an inflatable dartboard

Super delicious must visit once . ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you chef 👩‍🍳 I will recommend everyone must visit once . Thank you for delicious Sushi

Great tasting food, with good portions for the price. I will occasionally grab lunch from them and the service is always quick and satisfying, the staff even did me the kindness of giving me a complementary bag of pumpkin as they lacked the amount necessary to make a full order. It was completely unnecessary but greatly appreciated.

La comida fue lo más destacado de la noche, la calidad era fantástica y fresca. Los precios estaban bien, por la calidad de la comida. Sin embargo, el servicio era cómico, aunque normalmente no nos molesta la calidad del servicio, la falta de lo mencionado anteriormente nos hizo reír a ambos, ya que numerosas mesas quedaron desconcertadas por el personal a menudo perdido y confundido. No parece haber orden ni estructura que el personal de servicios deba seguir, tal vez por falta de liderazgo y capacitación. El personal a menudo parecía no saber qué hacer. Los pedidos se dirigen regularmente a las mesas equivocadas y el personal repite preguntas como ¿te gustaría pedir a pesar de que ya lo hizo momentos antes. Durante la experiencia, muchas mesas a nuestro alrededor, se encontraron quejándose del servicio tanto privado como público, lo que sí puso un amortiguador en la experiencia general. Sin embargo encontramos la comedia en los errores

Having just returned from Holiday & in no mood to cook, we ordered Noo Noodles through a food delivery app. Food arrived very quickly & my vegetable & tofu noodles were absolutely delicious. Real no frills food - but so tasty & so filling.

The delivery was 2 h late. I want my money back

He estado aquí de vez en cuando durante años y todavía lo disfruto. Los precios son justos y tiene un menú agradable. Hay que decir que ahora es extremadamente concurrido y muy conocido ; supongamos también porque Oxford se ha convertido en un lugar extorsivo para visitar y muy caro para comer. En Edamame se puede obtener comida sana que no es de ninguna manera elegante a precios justos. Sí, está lleno de gente y sí, puede que tenga que compartir una mesa con 4-6 personas, pero así es como es. Si no te gusta esa forma de comer, entonces tal vez no te quejes más tarde de la falta de espacio en una reseña que ciertamente no es justo. Una cosa que he notado es mi plato favorito en el menú del almuerzo, que son los fideos ahora utiliza un fideo instantáneo de estilo casi chino que no es muy agradable. En su día, los fideos eran fideos de estilo japonés más sustanciales, a los que desearía que volvieran a ser auténticos.

We have come here on and off for years, since it opened. I will never go back. We came as a family, with no real concern over the cost. When waiting to go up me and my daughter were approached and with no explanation the waitress starts talking about my 12 year old daughter’s height. I was very confused, and had to double check I hadn’t accidentally gone to a theme park, I half expected to see a giraffe standing next to a giant ruler so she could be measured. Apparently they go by height when judging what a child is, I find this ridiculous. Even so, I didn’t consider or care about the price - we just wanted a nice family meal. I was so irritated I decided to eat a lot of food because I am quite tall and obviously the taller you are the more food you need. The only word I could use to describe the situation was absurd. We measured my daughter (yes, seriously) when we got home. She was indeed too tall to fit their definition of a child. Her Nan and Kylie Minogue would have been fine though. As would a lot of other children her age. This is discrimination against tall people. Honestly, I still can’t believe any of this happened. Then on the way out you are forced to present your receipt like you are a possible shoplifter leaving cost co. Ok so I wasn’t expecting the Ritz, but being questioned over the height of my child and treated like a potential fraudster rather than a valued customer left a sour taste in my mouth.

The staff are awesome and very helpful.

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.

Great service and amazing food had a really good time with my friend. Will definitely go again soon for more food and drinks.

Lovely food and very quick, Katsu curry is to die for! Lovely service ready in 15 minutes , would highly recommend !

On a flying visit to Newbury I, and a friend of mine, met for lunch at Kokoro - and Asian fusion restaurant on Northbrook Street, right on the bridge over the River Kennet. 'Restaurant' might be a slightly misleading term - as Kokoro is more of a takeaway style, with some shabby seating downstairs in a shabby room. It is shabby. There is no avoiding it. The seating area downstairs is more akin to a long-abandoned waiting room. There is little to no charm to it whatsoever, save for the fact that you can see the river flowing swiftly passed the window. I get the impression however that the sort of people who frequent here (the sort of people that say "let me get" instead of "can I have") are not particularly fussed about the ambience. The food, it has to be said, is very good. I really enjoyed the sweet and sour chicken and noodle bowl that I had. Unimaginative I know but it looked the most appealing, and it tasted great. I would score this place higher were it not for the fact that I felt as though I was dining in a Prisoner of War camp. On a final note, this place is Halal certified, meaning that the people that want their food to have suffered a slow, tormenting, medieval death can pat themselves on the back.
