The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Leeds Yorkshire and The Humber

Atmosphere is only affected by being in a market but the gentleman running the stall made it easier, I had Cucumber Maki, Pumpkin Katsu and Kaiso Seaweed, all made fresh and very clean, was happy to show me the quality of fish compared to the butchers here and the differences needed for sashimi, a great conversation with a great meal as I'm passing through Leeds, great stop if you have time, most food takes around 8 mins, total meal cost £9

Thank you so much for your kindness and patience. The food was truly awesome, expertly prepared. Exquisite tastes and textures. We’d love to return 🥰

Encantador lugar. Sirvió bien. Personal amable. Sin tiempos de espera entre cursos. Tengo información relevante sobre la comida.

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Waitress, Margarett, was really helpful when we arrived, explained the menu really well and recommended the bento boxes which meant we got to try loads of different dishes. Food was amazing, so delicious and really good value. I had mentioned in the booking that it was my girlfriend's birthday and they surprised us with a huge slice of cake for dessert, which was a lovely surprise. Would 100% recommend and can't wait to go again and try some of the other dishes.

Fantastic. Nuestro hijo vive en Leeds y sugirió Shokupan para almorzar un sábado, ya que había estado con el trabajo. En resumen, deliciosa comida servida rápidamente con un servicio amable. El K - Town Sando era encantador y se puede decir mucho acerca de un restaurante por las cosas simples que en este caso eran las patatas fritas... caliente, súper crujiente y sazonado perfectamente. Bien jugado Shokupan 👏

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.

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

I came here with my friends to celebrate graduating from uni ! And oh my gosh it was the most amazing experience. From start to finish we were looked after. We went with the set menu (there was so much choice), and I loved every part of it. Starter had a great selection of nibbles and the main had 4 different meats and the dessert was incredible too !! The chef was also brilliant !! So entertaining !! Would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun experience with the best food. Such a nice location and restaurant too :)))

Sad to see Issho has closed. This place was a gem in Leeds, blending modern with traditional Japanese cuisine. Each visit was a culinary adventure, from sushi to unique dishes. Although sometimes service could be hit or miss, the overall experience was memorable. It'll be missed for its innovation and atmosphere.

Order was estimated to arrive at 3pm didn’t arrive u till 3:43pm.

Reached out to resolve but they stopped responding to my emails. Poor customer service

Always amazing food really fresh and well made

My favourite one and I've been to a few Food is fantastic staff friendly and attentive Location is great and free parking

when handing the paper bag broke because half of the soup had spilled out and the food fell on floor (still in boxes and bowl). I have not received half the soup

Order did not arrive at all and it still says it’s been delivered
