The best restaurants serving Japanese food in England

Came here on our way to a party and sadly wasn't impressed. Maki rolls online were £3 and website said £5 but in the restaurant were £7 - I've never seen maki this expensive! Didnt have any sushi due to price. I had the vegetable fried noodles which tasted vinegary (bottled sauce) and 3 bits of broccoli. Pretty basic. My friend had spicey chicken rice which was nice. Wouldn't recommend.

We were a family of 10 including younger children. Everyone found something on the menu they liked. All the food was high quality and the staff helpful and accommodating: not easy when dealing with a range of quirky tastes and the needs of a large group. Maybe the restaurant’s main business is home delivery, but it was great to sit and share fresh sushi and sashimi, excellent tempura prawns and some really tasty main dishes. The place doesn’t look like much from outside, but what matters is the excellent kitchen inside. Oh, and the cold draft Asahi beer of course. We had a great meal - highly recommend Elements.

We booked for the Kaiseki menu as a special treat: a sequence of dishes showcasing seasonal produce, culinary skills and of course, seafoods. Each dish was beautifully presented with only the clean simplicity and precision hinting at the painstaking prep. When it came to the eating, for us the flavours did not match up to the visual feast: perhaps the food was overly subtle for our palates or missing flavour across the board was a reflection of the seasonality of the produce available in late spring? We couldn’t quite work out what was amiss - we really wanted to love the food but the package felt somewhat underwhelming.

We were staying at the Retreat hotel and spa for two days and booked one meal in the Pan Asian restaurant Yu . It’s a small restaurant but beautifully decorated and good atmosphere. The menu consists of small plates of yummy Japanese style dishes as well as hot dishes and deserts. So pleased we booked here and would definitely recommend. You do not have to be a resident of the hotel to visit .

Just visited The Oaklands Hotel and tried their carvery in The Amore Restaurant. We had excellent service from the manager and the staff who were on today. There was a great variety of food to try including four different types of meat, plenty of fresh cooked vegetables and sides to go along with it. We were we served plenty of meat before helping ourselves to everything else. Probably nicest carvery/Sunday dinner in the area and it won't be long before we are back there again.

Always lovely food, served quickly,so far I’ve introduced 3 group to the restaurant , gutted it’s closed down! Are there any other restaurants in the local area?

This is the sort of quality food you long for in a takeaway. Totally authentic, healthy, delicious. Yes it sometimes takes a bit longer to get your food but good things are worth waiting for.

The sushi at this place is AMAZING!! I’ve eaten a lot of sushi in many places, yet somehow, in a tiny town, Umami delivers excellent tasting sushi. You have my word that when you order from here you will only get the best, that’s why I keep coming back!!! Give this place a chance, believe me, you won’t regret it

My mum and I visited Tonkotsu just before Christmas for a catch up dinner. We had a lovely meal, they were able to tailor the dishes for our dietary needs and all of the staff were absolutely lovely. In particular, Shama was so friendly, efficient and warm and was also happy to chat when the restaurant wasn’t busy. She’s great and such an asset to Tonkotsu

Best restraint in my whole life with lovely Japanese food Lovely staff and doesn’t take long to have food brought to you A must go

Comentarios positivos: aguacate fresco y delicioso (al menos). Negativo: leí las críticas sobre este lugar y realmente quiero probarlo. ¡Mala elección! ¡Qué gran decepción! ! Pedí gambas y relleno de aguacate, el crespón estaba completamente equivocado, demasiado espeso y seco, no una salsa Marie Rose para humedecer o juntar el relleno, trozos de zanahorias mal cortados, etc. Escogí cada gambas del crespón (3 gambas) y me lo comí todo, dejé mis 6 crepes completamente para los pájaros. ¡Qué farse de comida! ! ! Yukee! ! ¡Evita este puesto y pasa al siguiente puesto de comida llamado Bull & Ranch, una parrillada deliciosa! !

Good food, and an alright price for the quality. Relaxing atmosphere. Had a matcha crepe and frappe, friend had a shiratama sundae.

Interior has improved since the last visit which looked more like a converted pizza restaurant and now Looks like a restaurant with a large bar. Spacious interior with well spaced tables. Has the Tokyo roll- was good. The duck main was good but has to order an additional portion of rice. Service was good. Gin and tonics was well priced.

Ordered food to be deliver to participants of a training. Paid, got confirmation email - on the day of delivery I called to triple check when the food is going to be arriving... They could not find it in the system. After a few minutes of searching the person on the other end of phone who did not mute itself said "oh its here.." they told us the food is going to be with us in the next 15 min - cut long story short after a few next phone calls the food arrived 75 min later. In the meantime - the participants went to shops and got themselves food - being very disappointed since we as host promised them lunch. Called once more to resolve me refund but...they cannot find us in the system again and the person on the line was everything - but helpful. first and last time. Very frustrating.
