The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Anderston / City Glasgow City Glasgow and Surrounding

Excellent, best Glasgow Sushi! Alex Siba 82 Japan

Expensive with fair food quality. Tofu nigiri only having half piece of sweet tofu. One of prawn Tempura tastes not fresh enough.

Excellant night out, great for groups or a special occassion

Unfortunately, this was just not the experience for us. We were greeted quickly upon entering, and the restaurant was busy!! Loud and fun, with great decor and seating. We were sat at a table for two, and were told that they had run out of menus, so they’d bring some shortly. We were never offered or given drinks while we waited, and it took about 15 minutes for someone to return with 1 menu. I chose the Chicken Ramen, while my partner chose the Hell Ramen. Orders were placed, tap water was provided, food delivered, and no one ever came back. We did finally flag down someone so we could settle up. I will say, the broth in both dishes was absolutely delicious. I was disappointed that mine only came with a very small amount of chicken (about four total pieces, which seemed like even smaller pieces clumped together by fried breading). Each of the four pieces easily fit in the spoon, and I quickly ate those because they were turning into a soggy mess. I’m not a hugely picky person, but fried food placed in broth to turn soggy and messy doesn’t necessarily appeal to me. My partner didn’t have any complaints about his meal, just that it was “fine ramen.” It was a nice experience, and the large parties seemed to have a lot of service and attention, so maybe we just caught them on an off-Tuesday!

You might blink and miss this restaurant, the frontage is quite small and it’s also known as Rice Time. The interior is more of a cafe style than posh restaurant, although they do have an alcohol licence. Drawback is that it can get noisy, just loud chat from other diners! There are private and karaoke rooms upstairs, Toilets are upstairs, didn’t see a disabled toilet but there might be one on the ground level. Staff are friendly, service is prompt. The menu is authentic Japanese, I’ve travelled in Japan a few times. There are numerous dishes with plenty of options including vegan and vegetarian. The other SE Asian dishes are also authentic, have travelled around there. Portions are a generous size and prices are very good value. We all enjoyed our food and would probably return. Liked the variety of teas, would have had the matcha ice cream but they were out of it.

We got the latte with oat milk and gingerbread syrup, and the matcha latte with oat milk. Both were good and just right on the sweetness scale for both. We don't like super sweet drinks. The decor is really cute. Definitely set up for social media selfies/ussies.

Good selection of sushi which they make to order. They also have a fridge with some takeaway sushi packs. Both the sushi and poke bowls are really nice. There are tables if you want to dine in. My only criticism is that the sushi rolls had slightly too much rice for the amount of filling. Really like this place and will be back.

I did really want to love this place. The service was great, the interior was cool and inviting, but the katsu curry I ordered was just lacking a bit and the service charge added to the bill automatically is just not cool for a little place like this.

Today was a gloomy day and sushi always cheers me up and I am so glad we chose this place. My partner's akuma soba was superb, followed by a fresh sushi plater for me. The special rolls were pleasing to the eye and to our pallets. However, my only gripe was that they were gigantic and impossible to consume in one bite. We really appreciated the flavours and their unique twist but it is sacrilegious to consume sushi in two bites. Does it really matter though what the size is when the service is that quick and the prices are so reasonable? We will be back!

Absolutely lovely waitress and amazing staff. The food was delicious and we were compensated for a small wait as there was a large order just before ours. I Will definitely be coming back again!

I have been going to Katsu for two years, but today a waiter, a guy that refused to tell me his name, was extremely arrogant and disrespectful. I went there today with my friends, we were 3 and they only had two seats available, I asked him to serve my friend since she was extremely hungry, while me and the other friend would wait outside until the other seat was available, he acted stupid, pretending that he wasn't understanding the request, denied to serve my friend, was arrogant, disrespectful and told us to leave the restaurant. Till this day in two years, I didn't have any problems with the restaurant, however, with that type of waiter, I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

I feel it tastes better than Ajisen Ramen, and I don’t recommend the takoyaki.

Food is delicious and fresh! Excellent sushi roll in glasgow

Nice setting within Merchant square. Despite being quiet on arrival had to look for staff to get seated. Staff member not overly friendly. Food was excellent, warm, beautifully presented and very tasty. Tap order and pay didn’t work at table and staff said that is the case. Nice interior and simple menu. Quality food and nice experience hampered only by lack of enthusiasm, cheer and engagement by staff. Shame. Would eat again if different member of staff.

Was geared up to go here as friends' said reviews were good. Dreadful meal!! Worst in a long while. "Veggie Katsu - crispy mixed vegetables"...Not so, a small bed of stodgy white rice, with 4 flat potato croquettes on it. Inside the 'croquettes' was mashed potato, some sweetcorn bits, and miniscule carrot fragments!! Next to the rice was curry sauce, the kind you get with chips. No crispy vegetables or vegetables in sight. Will definitely NOT recommend at all. Find somewhere else!! A complete rip off.
