"After the Japanese school moved to Acton there is less of a north London focus for the Japanese community but some links to the 1980s heyday remain. One of these is the fact that in close proximity opposite Golders Green station can be found two branches of Eat Tokyo and Cafe Japan. Whilst I've nothing against the former, the latter is authentic and independent and deserves to be supported. The interior is functional (which is exactly what you might expect), with food prepared in a cramped space towards the rear. Service from the three interchangeable serving staff was functional and prompt without being particularly engaging (the restaurant was busy with large takeaway orders in addition to the mostly occupied tables). Aside from an extensive list of sakes and shochu the drinks menu is limited, but they have Asahi on tap. So why the 5 stars? Well primarily because the food was very good indeed, offering, in addition to the normal dishes you would expect to see, a range of cooked specials that featured both fish you don't associate so much with Japan (such as sardines and monkfish) and fish that's unknown here (the ladyfish tempura was exceptional). A nice selection of mochi ice-cream balls too. At £105 for 3 people our total bill was pretty reasonable for what we had."

"I regret to say that I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. The atmosphere was lacking, with only one other table of diners, and the temperature was uncomfortably cold. The quality of the food was poor and the high prices on the bill only added to our disappointment. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant."

"My husband for the date night when we love sushi and we wanted to try something new as his first time in Genji . Wow wanted to start from the moment we went, we were greeted by the manager and asked what table we like. At a table of our choice, as we are on a date, the staff recommended a bottle of seasonal wine that was perfect after a hot day. With the very helpful Radek and our amazing waitress melissa, the service was amazing and when it came to dinner. It was the best sushi I've eaten for a long time. So fresh and full of taste and so creative. And the Veggie role was out when the world. Great Sushi Square . Very recommended"

"Pretty ordinary. We ordered starters and mains and it all came out together so the table was full. One dish was given to a different table and sat there for 5 minutes until they realised the error and brought it to us. The staff didn’t clear things off the table and we had to wave them down for additional ordrrs"

"Damn-tasty. Someone said lack of competition ? No, Glasgow has many Japanese restaurants/cafés, one is even just a few doors away from Ichiban Queen St. I have been countless times, brought friends who want to try Japanese for the first time, brought my Mum and Dad, went for lunch with college friends, etc. I can honestly say, I 've never been dissapointed. Ichiban holds up well to competition believe me, I 've been to most of the other Japanese restaurants in this city! Wagamama 's unfriendly staff and undercooked chicken gyoza put me off, I 've never been since. Oko Express is good, but the 'express ' part isn 't so accurate! Nanakusa, Sapporo and OkSushi are a great experience, but are...read more"

"a no annoying and no cost saved taking into a greatcross with at least one scottish premiership footballer a regular visitor for the vegetarian pizza I told. the service is friendly, although the man who works there is on himself and he can sometimes grumble a bit, but after a few visit he recognizes them and he will talk to them and he evaluates his regular customers. the thunder wood zone and the chicken parody are the two recommended of me for this takeaway, although the pizzas are also a beautiful choice. my friend had the burger, but described the hühnerburger as tasting cheap, but the rindfleischburger was in order. a good choice to finish a night, especially with a few bars and the Lava/Ignite nightclub placed close by."

"As usual the food was superb. Ribs are tender sweet sticky and very tasty. I tried the mango tempura prawn today and it was beautiful as was the snow crab and many other dishes. Highly recommend !!!"

"the hotel is located in a small street right in front of the capital, yen sushi was a great foundation. the staff was very friendly. eating is great and just like some other sushi restaurants, depending on the color of the plate they pick up, it determines the price. for me and mt partner we have spent 50 pfunds. the quality of eating was great, although I felt that some dishes were not great or consistent. they can also order hot food, the only thing I thought was strange is that the waitress empty teller would bring with their hot food to represent his worth, instead of just making a note on the table that took place on the table, which then made it a little tight for others. despite the above one still a great visit. they'll be sure if they want it. if their regular sushi eater, they can lack the fish in quality."

"I highly recommend this place! It's very kid-friendly, with plenty of space for children to get involved in the BBQ cooking. The service was excellent as well. We dined for dinner, and the cost per person was around £50–60. Overall, I would rate the food a 5, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a 4. Some recommended dishes include the seafood, the 16-piece nigiri sushi platter, and the wagyu chef's special set."

"We had a table reserved for 6:00 PM, but we were running a bit late. The restaurant was very accommodating and let us push our reservation to 6:30 PM. The service was excellent, and the food was simply amazing. I ordered the teriyaki salmon, and honestly, it was the best salmon I've ever had—no exaggeration! The portions were a bit small for my liking, but that didn't detract from the experience at all. This place is definitely a must-visit! 10/10!"

"I took my mother to the Two Sisters restaurant for her birthday last Sunday. We were immediately greeted and informed about the brunch options (i.e. buffet versus brunch specials and other adjustments, such as turkey bacon instead of pork). I think this is a great place for a relaxed brunch and definitely for a mother-daughter date. We loved the food and the service. We drove to a Groupon and will definitely drive again without the Groupon. Worth it."

"Booked restaurant by mistake but decided to have a go. Lovely staff. It was our 22nd anniversary but reservation seemed lost. Cocktails were poor.! mine was served in a ceramic black cup and was half full with ice cubes,the kokokura? Dinner was ok its all about a tasting menu but selection was poor. We had to order a lot to be filled up, some dishes were extremely expensive ie:the duck . Not one dish was outstanding or memorable. Service was amazing i did not dislike the reastaurant but as a chef i was disappointed, I've had better Japanese food. For people with little knowledge of food then it's worth a try can't say I would be back."

"My husband and I had an excellent lunch at Sumo . Service was calm and very efficient. We had the very reasonable lunch menu . Both starters were brilliant. Paul had crispy tofu in a tasty sauce and I had crispy chicken wings. They were accompanied by a fresh salad . Paul had chicken ramen which came in a huge bowl and was filled with noodles , veg and sliced chicken . He was asked how he would like the base stock chilli , garlic or plain . He was also able to say how hot he would like the chilli when he chose that option . It was delicious. I had salt and spicy chicken with plain rice . Perfect . Light morsels of moist chicken , sweet onions, peppers and rice done to perfection. We had jasmine tea to accompany and this went well . We saw beautiful sushi dishes going out that were works of art . We have eaten here loads of times and never had anything less than delicious."

"We were not prepared for the flavour journey Kazoku we're taking us on. Beautiful, simply. Divine. Magical. A journey through taste that we haven't experienced before. The plum wine, the serving of the food in intervals, the clinical knowledge the staff had of the food. We would like to personally commend the chefs for allowing us to try their food. We will be back, we would book a hotel just to visit again. Nothing more needs to be said, visit and divulge into what can only be described as brilliant. Congratulations, phenomenal. Thank you."

"I was very much impressed from the moment we walked in. The restaurant dining karaoke rooms are spreads over a number of floors. We were greeted by the friendly staff. A few friends ran late and they were still able to accommodate us. We ordered a number of items and they were all bursting with flavour. The kimchi beef ramen were extremely filling and flavourful. The udon, California roll was also very nice we’re also very nice We then moved in to the karaoke rooms and since they weren’t too busy at that time, they allowed us stay a bit longer. Overall, I would recommend this place especially if you’re looking for a group activity but also somewhere nice to eat. Will definitely be back. 10/10"

"We ordered a variety of starters, a sushi and sashimi platter, along with some individual sushi hand rolls. Everything was incredibly fresh and tasty. The drink selection was sufficient to meet most preferences. The service was both friendly and efficient, striking a pleasing balance between formal and informal. Additionally, the prices are relatively reasonable for central dining, especially considering the quality offered. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this restaurant. **Service:** Dine-in **Meal type:** Dinner **Price per person:** £50–60 **Food:** 5 **Service:** 5 **Atmosphere:** 5 **Recommended dishes:** Rolls, Sushi Platter"

"An amazing restaurant situated in Central MK. From stepping through the doors, Akasaka delivers with a beautiful bar and pink cherry blossom trees. The staff and service was fantastic exemplary from start to finish. We had the Karage Chicken, Spicy Tuna Rolls and Salmon Maki to start. The Tuna Rolls and Salmon Maki were brilliant, but the Karage chicken a little disappointing. It was the crispiest chicken I have ever eaten, but it wasn’t very flavoursome even with the dip. We followed this with Beef Bibimbap and Salmon Bibimbap. Both of these were brilliant the hot beef comes in a searing hot iron bowl and continues to sizzle the whole time you’re eating it! The flavour was fantastic and it was nice to be able to ‘self sauce’ to personal levels. We’ve had takeaway from here before, but will definitely come back to eat in also in the future!"
