The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Yorkshire and The Humber

Really tasty ramen, the beef was perfectly cooked and I loved all the veggies which came in it, it’s also pretty affordable! really recommend the japanese lychee soda! Attentive staff and relaxing restaurant.

Authentic Japanese food by Japanese. 🇯🇵 Very impressed by the high quality food 🍱 I’m obsessed with both their Iced Matcha Tea with Cream and hot matcha. 😋

Unfortunately Koko is soon to close.

Un año más tarde y todavía increíble comida , tan fresca tan sabrosa y un ambiente tan frío . 100% uno de los mejores lugares de sushi que hemos estado demasiado nunca. Mantenga los buenos estándares como siempre volveremos.

It was my first visit to this smart Japanese-Korean restaurant on the outside of the Merrion Centre, and I enjoyed almost everything about it. The menuS are good, with plenty to attract vegan customers, such as myself, as well as those with less restrictive diets. The service is both friendly and efficient. The food is excellent, and also very good value. I had one of the Bento boxes, (not listed on the main menu), and while the mushroom dish wasn't included, it was substituted with extra vegan 'chicken'. Everything was well-cooked and very tasty. The bill includes a 10% service charge. So why haven't I awarded 5 stars? Please read on. The door to the restaurant opens inwards, and is heavy. Just to the right of the opening, where you exit, at knee height, the sharp corner of a shelf protrudes, being disguised, but not padded, by a cloth cover. It really is in the way, and DANGEROUS. I hit my knee hard enough to break the skin, and had to limp out in considerable pain. I am still in pain nearly 3 hours later. PLEASE do something about this, either show your guests out, opening the door for them, warn them about the dangerous protrusion, get in a carpenter to remove the problem, or have the door altered, so it opens on the opposite side. In expectation of a management apology, thank you. I am not asking for, nor will I accept, any form of compensation, but please address this matter. Thank you.

Great service but food was even better.. Katsu curry plus gyoza - very tasty. Will definitely return

Very welcoming restauran, food are delicious and service is amazing

Shambles! Don’t order takeaway from here… waited 2 hours for my order and it never turned up. Phone line disconnected so can’t contact them. They apparently use their own drivers so tracking is unavailable. So now after 2 hours having to make other food arrangements! Seriously don’t bother worst experience ever

Friendly, attentive staff, delicious, tasty food at reasonable prices, will definitely return

System is really good can order on tablet and keep ordering as all you can eat. Lots of variety, lovely staff and atmosphere. Sushi was really fresh, can order steadily until full with tablet

Bao where great but a very small portion. The sharing plates where all instantly forgettable unfortunately. All food arrived cold or cool at best. Previously visited at Spark and thought it was far better (Bao and Ramen on a few occasions). Total bill felt overpriced for the amount of food served. Disappointed overall.

Service great. Food incredible. Vibe perfect. This place is all round great, it is clean with great staff the food came quick and beautifully presented, the portion sizes are great as well as really good prices for what you get, a really amazing spot it is tempting to keep it a secret. Absolutely recommend and will definitely be coming back!!

We have ordered sushi from here a few times, every time we get it, the food is amazing quality, good portion sizes and well priced. Highly recommend 10/10

Discasting food, not good service 💀

This is a cool little place and the food was nice - cauliflower wings were amazing and the panko goats cheese lovely but bao bun not all that. However it was incredibly loud, hadn't realised going for tea on a Tuesday night would mean being surrounded by a few quite rowdy drinking groups which isn't my personal cup of tea and the wait for my friends food was overly long, I'd finished all my dishes before her main one arrived and tbh I think they'd forgotten. We had to ask to chase it and were told it would be another five minutes. If you want nice food in a bar/pub environment then this is a good place for it but if you're wanting a calmer more restaurant experience I'd suggest elsewhere. Thank you!
