"We arrived around 7pm while only 3 tables were seated, one had already finished and the second one were eating and third one about to finish. We were seated immediately in a table in the middle of this small croud and without socially distancing table. Our order was taken in a reasonable time considering that only one waitress was working but then we waited 26 minutes for the first dish tempura) to arrive to our table. We were served by the female owner, but we noticed that they got us a vegetable tempura when we ordered prawn tempura. When we mentioned this the dish was taken from our table and she stormed out. 30 seconds later our waitress came to state that we did order indeed the vegetable tempura in a quite rude manner. We insisted that we ordered the prawn tempura and not vegetable one and she left no apologies or anything like that). Couple of minutes later they got us the prawn tempura which was really oily and while the waitress was trying to place the dish in the table in a quite abrupt manner she bumped on my shoulder and almost dropped the entire plate she apologised and left the table. Our second dish was a vegetable udon which to be honest was quite gross with a dominant flavour of god knows what, I never tryed something awful like that. My partner had less than a 1/4 of the dish but I was too hungry and it was still a bit edible so I ate mine and helped with her plate. We were about to leave due to the poor service and hideous food but it was my birthday so after thinking for a while we decided to try a bit of sushi. We were waiting to ask the menus again while our waitress was serving other tables they had a new table of 6 and another couple while the rest tables mentioned at the begging left) while this was happening the female owner was missing and the male owner was at the till playing solitaire yes we could see him from our table in a certain angle) We got the sushi plates but they removed the soya dishes and no new was brought so we ended up using a large dish that we had in the table for our napkin and chopsticks. The first sushi plate was looking horrendous with a spicy orangey sauce on top, the second one looked better but it was quite gross with those fish eggs hanging around and the warmish rice, still edible both of them but even the sushi from Tesco is way better. In this whole time no one approached our table to ask a feedback for our food. So we reached a point that we didn 't want to order dessert or anything just pay and leave. Not to mention that there was no QR code available for NHS track and tracke, neither they took any contact information from us"

"We ordered: Pork katsu curry rice, Tori Karaage donburi, Sushi Moriawase, a mango mochi and a passionfruit mochi. The good: For a Japanese restaurant in the heart of London, the prices are reasonable, about £10 to £15 for a main of reasonable size. Portions big enough to leave you just about satisfied All of the food we ordered was consistently decent. Not amazing, not bad, but decent. Service was lightning fast couldn 't have been quicker For desert, they serve ice cream mochi balls for £2 in various flavours. They were delicious the passion fruit was the best). It was just the right amount of something sweet for a very cheap price. We ordered the Sushi Moriawase, one of the more expensive items £26). The sushi was decent, better than what you would get in the well known sushi chain restaurants at around the same price point. The bad: It might be more accurate to describe this place as a canteen rather than a restaurant. There 's zero ambience or attractive décor, the tables are very closely placed together, and the wait staff will clear your table very quickly once you 're finished a dish. We never got the feeling we were being rushed or were expected to leave, but it 's not a relaxing place to unwind. One of the waitresses was in such a rush she dropped a full bowl of food on the floor at the table right in front of us... Summary: In Japan, you 'll encounter casual, cheap, unpretentious comfort food eateries known as Shokudo. Misato is a Shokudo in central London. It 's a step up from 'Wasabi ' and 'Yo! Sushi ', but you 're not there to take in the atmosphere and the surroundings, or to try adventurous takes on Japanese classics you 're there to have reasonable Japanese meal, at a reasonable price, and to leave shortly after."
