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

Amazing food, great selection of dishes and good value for money. The service was really friendly and we really enjoyed our visit.

Lovely sandwich with very soft and delightful katsu in the sando, which was perfectly balanced. However, the service could have been better - didn’t feel particularly welcome…

There are no enough star how amazing this resto is. Hundred percent authentic, will recommend to my friends

Despite living in Meanwood for five years, I'd never been to Hana Matsuri and finally got round to going this evening. I'd heard good things, but wasn't prepared for how good it was. The food (small plates) was incredible and very reasonably priced, the waiting staff were attentive and knowledgable - a truly memorable experience. I will certainly be back (at every opportunity).

Had an amazing time! Came here November 1st for dinner with my partner. The food was just divine, absolutely worth the price. This was our second time coming here and was even better than the first. There were so many options from sushi to yaki soba to steak, and all of them were cooked and plated to perfection. All my compliments to the chefs. My favourite meal was definitely the soft shell crab- absolutely incredible. All the portions were great as well- left feeling very full. Also staff were lovely, Felicia was an absolute star, looking after us all evening and making us smile. Couldn’t recommend this place more! Pricey but worth every penny! Thank you so much, will be coming back soon :)

30 minute wait for a bowl of takeaway rice isn’t practical, and I only ordered that as they don’t even sell sushi. When it arrived, the rice was passable at best. Worst Japanese I’ve ever visited

Food was very tasty, the chef we were seated with was good and I enjoyed the interactive experience. Only downside was it was so crowded. Personally I think there was 2 seats too many at each table which meant you had to keep your arms pinned to your sides so you didn't elbow the stranger next to you. Also the seating area is tight so people had to keep moving if you wanted to get past. Would recommend as an experience, but it is expensive so not something for a casual meal.

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.

My sister and I were looking for a Korean BBQ but serendipity brought us to Oba. The staff we're so kind and helpful that we decided to try Oba instead. The food was delicious, the service was great, and they serve cocktails too. Highly recommend this restaurant!

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.

First time visiting and loved it out waitress Ellie was really friendly and helpful. Will definitely come again

So good. The food is amazing I'll be coming here regularly.

The order never came, i need my money back asap, i’ve been waiting almost 3 hours to say order delivered when nothing came.

The sushi is very delicious and with reasonable price. We order again and again. The size is fit for three to four people to eat.

Didn't know what to expect but the sushi was amazing and really good value. Would order again. We got the Lovers Platter.
