"This is a wonderful spot for gathering with family and friends. The food is great, and I really enjoyed the barbecue. However, it can get a bit warm during the eating, as the air conditioning could be stronger. The drink prices are on the high side, and the barbecue menu has limited options."

"really delicious, healthy Japanese cuisine. the miso suppe is like a hug in a cup. great service and great variety on menu. with one of the dishes too much rice and not enough sauce/meat. and the only other room for improvement is I have always found it super cool in there, so take an additional cardiac. beautiful view of bruntsfield area where you can watch people. we always make ourselves happy and full. can't wait to come back."

"beautiful, light local with many seating. the personal is friendly and the service is fast. there are many vegan options in the entire menu: starter, sushi and hot net. we have a little bit of everything done and everything was delicious. the prices are on the higher side for Japanese eating in edinburgh, but deserves that. I found drinks and alcohol, especially the planted wine very expensive."

"Booked a table of 5 for my birthday dinner. We were promptly seated then immediately asked for drinks orders before even being offered a drinks menu or water. After we had ordered drinks we were being rushed into ordering some food, every two minutes different waiters coming and asking if we are ready to order (at least 7 times). After we did order and the food was brought out, we were then just forgotten about and nobody came over anymore to check if we needed any more drinks (4 out of 5 glasses were empty) or if the food was ok. (It was- but no one checked). After we had finished dining, we still had empty glasses and had to wait 20+ minutes until we eventually stopped a waiter walking past and asked if we could order more drinks. The drinks then took another 15 minutes to come. It was also very disappointing that although we had mentioned on the booking itself that it was for my birthday, there was no acknowledgement of this (I have been before and had received a plate with ‘happy birthday’ written on it in some kind of sauce with a sparkler). My sister even went to ask the woman working on the front desk and received a standoffish attitude back saying no. When the £235 bill came, it even listed ‘birthday plate £0.00’ on it!!! That really let the evening down. The interactions with the staff themselves were great, they were very polite and personable but the actual level of service of being rushed to order and then totally forgotten about really dampened what could have been a fantastic evening."

"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"

"I highly recommend 201 Asian Kitchen for its outstanding food and service. The owners are welcoming and attentive, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere. I particularly enjoy the laksa and sushi, and I always make sure to save some space for dessert. It's truly a gem in the neighborhood!"

"While the food was delicious, the chef is quite inflexible. We simply wanted to make sushi rolls with cooked/tempura salmon, like other sushi restaurants offer, but he refused. The service was slow, and the prices were very high for sushi. My advice is to be a bit more flexible with the menu, adjust prices to be more reasonable, and perhaps hire more staff. If you do, you would likely have a full house every night!"

"Dropped into the empty restaurant for a table for 2, was told they had a table that they'd have to have back in 1 hour. Got given menus and a few minutes later asked for our drinks order, they only had a white wine that was available by the bottle and we were discouraged from ordering that because we had such little time to drink it. Food was good, but the waitress came over to clear plates while we were still eating. We were out in 45 minutes, having paid a £50 bill. We left a mostly empty restaurant and will not bother them again."

"Food was absolutely delicious. Very authentic Japanese cuisine that is very reasonably priced. Small intimate setting with floor seating (Japanese style) or table seating. Menu was extensive with plenty of vegetarian options. Service was immaculate. Definitely recommend, and I will be returning! Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options Parking: Free parking outside (during evening, unsure about daytime), but limited spaces, however there is parking up the road, particularly on an evening when the roads are quieter Kid-friendliness: There were families with all ages of people including children when I went"

"This is a great place to eat, but avoid at all cost ordering a takeaway, meal was an hour late and the meal arrived cold. The soup dish had spilled into the bag, so no soup. When I complained, there was zero comprehension that my evening had been disrupted and complete denial that the one of the meals was not edible I.e. it was in a bag. The owner avoided at all costs to speak with me and simple shut me down with an I don't care attitude. She needs to try harder one star. In addition, the staff that took the compliant laughed and mocked my complaint as they out the phone down."

"Venue: This was a business 'after hours ' outing with colleagues/partners. Venue is fairly sparten with wooden seats, simple wall decoration and slightly industrial feel. Warm welcome when I arrived.. Located on a busy intersection of Old Street and Goswell Road. Service: was attentive and polite, not intrusive. 12.5% service charge is added automatically.Food: I have my doubts about the 'fusion ' menu and would have preferred something more pure Japanese. However, this is a personal view my companions enjoyed their dishes. there was a good range of sushi but I went for the tempura which was well done. Side dishes of rice and miso soup came in over sized bowls making the portions look a little mean. My companions ordered the set menus £25 which offered three courses, none of which were large portions but all quite fresh.Drink: Small range of the 'usual ' Japanese beers, would have been nice to see something less predictable than Czech brewed Asahi. Two red wines by the glass, about half a dozen by the bottle. A good range of cocktails on a Japanese theme.Facilities: The toilets downstairs were pretty unpleasant, not very clean, no soap and no hand drying facilities this could have been much better and a surprising let down for a Japanese establishment.Overall it was good, but certainly not great. It didn 't feel like brilliant value and the venue was not special at all. For the above average prices one would expect a little more. The service was friendly and the food of good quality, I would say that is more four stars but overall I 'd give this a three. I probably wouldn 't go back (I prefer Satsuma or Ten Ten Tei on Brewer St) but this might be your thing."

"Apart from being a very common male and female name in Japan, Makoto also means ‘sincerity’ or ‘truth’. The sushi and sashimi served at Sushi Bar Makoto are certainly a true taste of Japan, nestled away in Turnham Green. A girl I’m dating is a fan of the restaurant and she was excited for me to try their food. The sushi bar was closed to visitors because of Lockdown 2.0 so we ordered our food to be delivered to her place via Deliveroo one Saturday night in November. We chose the salmon combo, which consists of two pieces salmon nigiri, six pieces salmon roll, and three pieces salmon sashimi. We also had the spicy tuna inside-out roll (uramaki and a side of edamame beans. When researching this review, I was surprised to learn that salmon has only been used as an ingredient in sushi since the 1980s and was introduced by a Danish businessman (one of the only Western sushi variations that has been adopted in Japan . It’s hard to believe the Japanese didn’t include salmon before this because it is so delicious when served as an ingredient in sushi. For those unfamiliar with sushi, salmon nigiri comprises an oblong of vinegared rice with a slice of salmon draped over it. Salmon rolls are wheels of rice with salmon and spring onion stuffed in the centre, contained in an outer wrapper of nori (seaweed . The spicy tuna rolls look similar to the salmon rolls, however the rice is on the outside and the nori is wrapped around the tuna and vegetables in the centre. Lastly, salmon sashimi (which, strictly speaking, is not sushi is simply thickly cut pieces of raw salmon. It’s all very good. The fish in each of the dishes was really fresh and full of flavour. Fat grains of white rice are used and the vinegar used to hold the rice together gives it a lovely, slightly sour flavour, while also being satisfyingly sticky and starchy. I adore salmon so, for me, my favourites were the salmon nigiri and salmon sashimi. Our food came with several knobs of wasabi, which I enjoyed smearing on the salmon rolls and tuna rolls to give them some extra heat, and we got four sachets of soy sauce that I used to dunk my nigiri in. (If you’re like me and enjoy lots of soy sauce, I’d recommend having a bottle on standby because four sachets wasn’t really enough for two of us. We got a pretty generous portion of edamame and it’s always fun to bite the beans straight out of the pod to eat. The sushi was attractively presented in boxes with clear lids to show off the neatly prepared and colourful contents, and was even more beautiful eaten nyotaimori-style. Our food took about half an hour to arrive, was reasonably priced and was surprisingly filling. Chopsticks are provided if you’re feeling adventurous, or do like the Japanese do and simply eat it with your fingers. Sushi Bar Makoto is a hidden gem in west London and one you should truly try."

"I recently had the best sushi at this restaurant! We visited this afternoon and the sushi was so exceptional that I couldn't wait to leave a five-star review! We ordered a mixed nigiri platter and a spider maki roll. The sushi rice was absolutely fantastic! It was unlike any sushi I’ve had before—no hard, dry textures or long travel taste. The combination of flavors in all the sushi was simply amazing. It was fresh, delicious, and offered great value for money! Unlike some other places, it wasn't overloaded with ingredients. We’re definitely interested in trying their teppanyaki dishes, but we knew we’d be too full to manage it today! I really wish this restaurant were right next to our apartment, as we only came for an event nearby. If I lived closer, I would visit all the time! We did wait for over 30 minutes to get our sushi, but it was absolutely worth it. It's clear this place is very popular for takeout and dining in. (Just a note: the picture with the white plate isn’t ours; we just wanted to take a photo.)"

"Food was awful and the owners/workers are liars. I am normally a regular who orders the same things each time so when my order came today tasting disgusting with fish that was mushy in your mouth I called to ask for a refund which they said they would submit later that night. Finding the whole situation a bit weird, I called JustEat directly to check it would be okay. They then called the restaurant who told them that they do not approve a refund under any circumstances. Upon hearing this I called the restaurant and asked why they said that after confirming to me I could have a refund. They said that they told JustEat this was fine and JustEat was processing it up to them. I relayed this information to just eat who called them again and said again they had refused the refund. This is appalling service! I was on the phone for over 40 minutes with Thames Sushi lying to my face in order to keep the money from their awful sushi. They are all liars and manipulators! They could have been honest and said I couldn’t get a refund. I even asked to speak to someone higher and they said that no one would be there until Monday, however, when JustEat called they spoke to the manager and the owner! Do not order from this restaurant!! The sushi made us feel ill"

"Love, love, love. The place is intimate, simply decorated but functional and clean. You can sit at the food prep area and watch it all being made in front of you. I loved sitting waiting for my food and watching things being, prepped, sliced and rolled. I found the whole experience just absolutely gorgeous. The food looked amazing and it tasted divine. Very reasonable prices and wonderfully, warm accommodating service. It does get busy so beware.

"Went here with a good friend, looking forward to a post New Years meal. The food was good but the waitress took about 20 attempts to bring us ginger for our sushi, the black miso cod was tiny and in my opinion not worth £22 soggy and not crispy with little sauce . The sushi was good. The waitress got our order wrong and brought items we didn't order, but most of the food was really good Spider Roll and Shrimp Tempura roll even the edamame was stingy however a portion of about 15 small pods. As I wasn't drinking driving I asked if they had any non alcoholic beer or wine they don't I asked if I could drink a non alcoholic wine that I brought and they wanted to charge me £7 corkage, which I think is a bit steep given the wine was £3 non alcoholic so I offered to buy a normal drink and given we were spending quite a bit of money £120 for 2 people I thought they would take a view... nope. Needless to say my friend and I both agreed we would never recommend and never return, some food was good, much was average, waitstaff and management were frankly rude, and no options for non drinkers aside from soda or water which you might have to ask the waitress 5 6 times for . Not worth it."

"I have been enjoying my experience at Eat Tokyo SoHo, Old Crumpton, London for a very long time. This afternoon is my first opportunity to finally say hello a senior staff who has been looking after me at this particular branch, for as long as I remember, his name is KIM. FOOD and SERVICE at this Eat Tokyo, SOHO is way much better than Covent Garden and Hammersmith combined! The staff are much more attentive, and seeing KIM at the branch can guarantee two things, 1st the queue will run at the most reasonable time; I was made to wait 30+ minutes at Covent Garden during less busy hours and the restaurant was semi emptied at the time of visit. Therefore, best Eat Tokyo in my opinion among the three mentioned above is SoHo. Foods are good, consistent, with friendly service, please keep up this standard, And thank you for looking after me for almost a decade now."
