"I'm putting a 10/10 because the food was great, and the servers were great (especially José! but on the management side... there's room for improvement. Manager (I won't share his name here because everybody can be moody or have a bad night was kind of hostile. We tried to redeem our TheFork 50£ loyalty discount and he said we needed to select a special menu for it (which isn't true . We had to challenge his decision in order for our discount to be applied. For any fellow TheFork users planning on using your discount I'd advise you to make it crystal clear on your arrival so that there's no misunderstanding. Loved the atmosphere, the decorations, (the Japanese toilets! , the vegan and pork free options !"

YO! Sushi

Beer • Wine • Sushi • Japanese

"I was really looking forward to visiting this restaurant and finally decided to go with some friends. I enjoy the concept of choosing your own dishes, but it can get pricey if you're not careful. Overall, I loved most of the food and had a great time. I gave it a 3.5 rating mainly because of the enjoyable memories made with my friends."

"Fabulous cocktail bar! The bartender was an unexpected delight and made some wonderful cocktails to satisfy our exact requests."

Hakataya

Cafés • Sushi • Ramen • Drinks

"Took me a while to track down this little gem but I'm glad I went to the effort. The gyoza, pork kakuni and rainbow roll were morsels of deliciousness but the main attraction was the ramen! I had the Hell Ramen and blondey had the Yokohama.. both bowls were brimming with noodles had generous slices of pork, half a boiled egg, bamboo and nori sheets. The yokohama broth had a slight sweetness to it and the hell broth definitely had a kick! I finished the meal with daifuku mochi.. ice cream wrapped in mochi skin.. both the yuzu and coconut flavours were great. Service was ok, just not intuitive, you pretty much have to ask for everything you want. Also, at £14 for a bowl of ramen, it's slightly too pricey to make it a habit!"

Shoryu Regent Street

➤ 9 Regent St., SW1Y 4LR, London, United Kingdom

Tea • Soup • Asian • Seafood

"The reviews I had read indicated that the food was excellent, but the staff were unfriendly and the restaurant was lacking. However, my experience was completely different. The staff were friendly and even helped me select a sake, despite my lack of knowledge. Every dish we had was the best Japanese food we have ever tasted. This noodle bar is the best I have been to personally and was a delightful surprise."

"eaten many times in the restaurant and taken away. Bento box with touch very fill and fresh. the sushi aswell would always recommend very tasty. vegan menu available and personal very conscious. can order on just eat and ubereats, vegan food labeled."

Shoryu Shoreditch

➤ 45 Great Eastern Street, EC2A 4NS, London, United Kingdom

Soup • Asian • Drinks • Japanese

"I would definitely recommend the Seafood Natural Ramen in this restaurant. The portion sizes were plenty and the Ramen broth was lovely and rich. I would say that the portion sizes of the seafood was quite small compared to the amount of noodles given. The service was great, however once seated it did take a while for the waiters to notice that nobody had taken our order yet but once we caught their attention they were lovely and friendly. The restaurant was busy, as Friday nights in London are, and there was not very much space between parties but it was a nice relaxed atmosphere and would recommend."

"Came here for dinner with my sister who has a lot of food allergies (dairy, nuts, eggs, seafood, sesame seeds, basil, and tropical fruits)."

Kupp Oxford

➤ 101 The Westgate Queen Street, OX1 1PB, Oxford, United Kingdom

Meat • Asian • Drinks • Noodles

"Just got back from an early dinner at this place and had to write this review. This was my first time eating Japanese cuisine and so I went with a friend and an open mind. What a great first experience! The service staff were attentive and so polite and courteous… rushed off their feet as it was pretty full but still smiling and always approachable. The food exceeded my expectations we both had the vegetarian sweet potato croquette curry with rice and it really was so tasty and satisfying. We also had the cucumber starter and it was fresh and flavourful. The raspberry mocktail I ordered was the only thing with which I was unimpressed. It was nothing more than a normal glass of some cordial with sparkling water which for £6 was quite extortionate. I’ll be back for the food again for sure!"

YO! Sushi Chelmsford

➤ 9-10 High Street Chelmsford, Essex CM1 1BE, London, United Kingdom

Beer • Wine • Sushi • Japanese

"I was appalled about the quality of the service from the moment I arrived at the moment when I left what was when I arrived, I was not asked if I wanted a drink, and I was not asked about the whole meal. the waitress should have seen on the table that we only had water and asked if we wanted a drink. then we ordered our first round hot food. I pressed the help button and after waiting for a good minute for the waitress finally arrived. I felt it was too long. at this point in the evening there were three complete tables throughout the restaurant, so I thought the time we had to wait was bad. then the food began to come, but it didn't come quite. a few dishes came and then a few more and a few more afterwards. that meant that we didn't all eat together, we all ate at different times. I had ordered two dishes to eat at the same time and they did not arrive at the same time. very disappointing. the third order of hot food was beyond a sweat. it was clear that one of the two waitresses didn't feel very comfortable (I heard one of the chiefs to bring them home). she was our waitress. So we ordered the third round hot food. minutes later, we hadn't had our food yet. in this time the cook spoke with the sick waitress. then I pressed the help button and I explained that we had ordered something to eat and waited a long time. then I look at the waitress and the cook and it was absolutely clear that the order did not go through so that it was only then that the food started to cook. the waitress who took the order explained that there were many problems and it was sorry for her. as a customer who paid for a meal, I did not care about the problems, I still expected a good service and my food to turn. overall I thought the service was absolutely terrible. I will not visit this restaurant again and I will not recommend the restaurant to everyone."

Tsukiji Japanese Cuisine Birmingham City Centre

➤ 51 Station St, Birmingham, B54DY, United Kingdom

Sushi • Asiatic • Japanese • Breakfast

"My second visit here after 2 years, food is still good in quality. The reason I didn’t give 5 star is because I think this Japanese restaurant is like an average Japanese restaurant we can find in Asia. Food is good quality. Service is good as well. The sukiyaki, Godzilla roll, beef rice are equally good. Will definitely come back again."

Zushi Japanese

➤ 12 Parsons Street, OX16 5LW, Cherwell, United Kingdom

Tea • Asian • Sushi • Japanese

"Zushi has a comprehensive Japanese menu with a couple of dishes also from Korea. I decided to have a beef Dolsot Bibimbap, a sizzling hot stone pot also containing rice and vegetables and Gochujang chilli paste. I felt the meal although hot in temperature, this wasn't reflected in the taste. I was concerned that ingredients seemed to be sticking to the side of the pot, so tried to eat fairly quickly, so as not to have to scrape from the sides, which meant I really had to eat the food whilst it was too hot. The restaurant was pretty busy for a Tuesday night, which is a good sign."

Mori Japanese

➤ High St, SL1 1EL, Slough, United Kingdom

Sushi • Asian • Asiatic • Japanese

"Once seated, we placed our order promptly as we were quite hungry. Unfortunately, we waited for over an hour for our food to arrive, all the while having to repeatedly request water which was often ignored. We had a young child with us who is sensitive to black pepper, and we specifically asked for the dish to be prepared without it. However, our request was disregarded, and when the dish was served to the child, she had a terrible reaction. When we brought this issue to the server's attention, there was a lack of apology and accommodation. To make matters worse, a service charge was added to the bill without our consent. When we asked for it to be removed, the staff did so without inquiring about our concerns. Overall, our experience at this restaurant was simply dreadful."

Sushi Ya

➤ 55 Union Street, Glasgow, United Kingdom

Food • Sushi • Asian • Asiatic

"The Japanese restaurant offered a wide variety of dishes. We ordered a platter, katsu curry, seaweed as a starter, prawn tempura, and seafood gyozas. Everything was delicious and served promptly. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The menu had a large selection of options, ensuring that everyone would find something they enjoyed. Overall, a fantastic dining experience."

Yasai

Food • Sushi • Asiatic • Japanese

"Oh my goodness, what an amazing find in Finnieston! The restaurant isn't very big, but we were lucky to get a table early on. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. My colleague ordered the chicken katsu and I had the beef bulgogi. The portions were so generous that I struggled to finish my meal. It's definitely enough to share when you order an extra side of rice. The food was delicious and I highly recommend it, especially if you're in the area or at the SEC (a short 15-minute walk away). It's well worth a visit."

Maki Ramen Omakase (fountainbridge)

➤ 97-101 Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, EH39QG, EH3 8BL, United Kingdom

Tea • Fish • Ramen • Sushi

"Although the food was really nice, I was really disappointed in realising that I had tipped TWICE, and felt like I was tricked into it. After being presented with the bill I had no time to check it as the waiter was stood there with the card machine and asked if I had wanted to leave a tip. I did, and proceeded to leave a tip via the card machine. After the waiter left I then saw that the bill ALREADY had a 10% service charge added to it. So if the bill already has an optional service charge on it, why am I being asked again if I want to leave a tip??! Not only that, but when checking the bill I had also seen that we were charged for three salmon makis when we had only ordered two (this did get corrected as I told them and we were refunded the third portion, but I didn’t feel like I could ask for a refund on my double tip). So although the food was nice, this end paying experience really ruined it and I’d urge everyone to check their bill before they pay."

Ichi-Riki

➤ 17B Strutton Ground, Westminster, London, SW1P2HY, SW1P 2HY, United Kingdom

Sushi • Asian • Japanese • Vegetarian

"I was so excited to go there as the restaurant has excellent reviews. I really wanted to try their sushi even before the pandemic. Disappointing wasn’t sufficient. I don’t consider it’s Japanese restaurant because I don’t think if sushi is served the restaurant is Japanese. There is no Japanese person and no Japanese style service available. Don’t take me wrong, I’m not insisting without Japanese staff it can’t be Japanese restaurant. There is no properly cooked japanese food and all over food quality is very poor. First of all, I can tell with confidence all supposed to warm dishes are just microwaved. As soon as we ordered those dishes very familiar microwave sound started. supposed to be steamed chicken gyoza came floating in water. I can tell those are definitely frozen food from most probably certain Chinese cash and carry wholesale store. Spinach was incredibly tough. It may be good for you if you are on extremely high fibre diet but I felt I had become a cow. Sushi was another huge disappointment. Quality was poor although eatable. But I would rather prefer to eat that quality sushi at one of the famous chain restaurant’s branch in Victoria Street. Because it’d be more spacious and more importantly cleaner. But the worst part was when we ordered CURRY UDON! The waitress didn’t understand what we were asking because she pronounce it CA-RAY UDON and insisted she had asked what we water was noodle in soup. In my opinion even curry udon is noodle in curry soup. But by the time we had realised we made a big mistake and decided to leave as quick as we could, so didn’t argue. And when the bill came we just paid the amount. it stated that ‘no service charge is included’ and some Korean that neither of us didn’t understand. Since we left no tip the waitress suddenly became very rude. She even didn’t bother to say good-bye! I will never go there again and wouldn’t recommend anybody who would like to eat decent Japanese food."

Tosa

➤ 332 King Street, Hammersmith, London, W60RR, W6 0RR, United Kingdom

Fish • Meat • Chicken • Japanese

"Probably one of the most disappointing Japanese meals I have ever had. Since I lived in Japan for 20 years, I know what good Japanese food is supposed to be like. The tori karaage almost had no chicken in it and was mostly skin, which I have never seen before. Is this a money-saving measure? Shockingly price at almost eight pounds. Their Japanese sausages while authentic were way too small and overpriced. If you still want to go to Tosa, I would suggest getting the nasu dengaku, which was quite good, and perhaps some yakitori (although this too is overpriced . But the most disappointing part of my Tosa experience started before I even went there. When I called to book a table, I was greeted in a rude manner by the Japanese lady who took my call. Moreover, this same woman was rude when I was in the restaurant. (If you must go to Tosa, talk to the other staff, who are much friendlier. One of the best things about going to a Japanese restaurant outside of Japan is to experience the great service that you would normally receive at many restaurants at Japan, so in this respect Tosa fell far short of my expectations. If you are in west London and have a hankering for Japanese food, go to Kiraku, where the service is far better, even though the menu may currently be less extensive."

Pickled Ginger

➤ 512 St Vincent Street Glasgow, G3 8XZ, G3 7HP, United Kingdom

Kebab • Sushi • Asiatic • Mexican

"The food was served promptly, and the service was excellent. The bento box with side dishes allowed for a variety of flavors to be sampled. There were plenty of vegan options available, including vegan mochi for dessert. Although I didn't try the dessert or any of their drinks this time, I plan to do so next time. The music, which I believe was J-Pop, added to the overall enjoyable dining experience."

KIBOUsushi

➤ 18 Regent St, Cheltenham, GL501HE, GL50 1JZ, United Kingdom

Sushi • Kebab • Asiatic • Seafood

"The story: Two weeks prior, peeking through the restaurant window, I was intrigued to see the kitchen artizans hard at work creating sushi platters that looked vibrant but also elegant. On the 14th November at lunchtime, I was looking forward to trying Kibou as Japanese cuisine is one of my favourites. It's very hard to see the same level of unique variety that Kibou has compared to the few Japanese restaurants I am local to. We wanted to try an array of items and the mini seasonal menu had just been released in time for our visit as well. The food: The Jo Moriawase and New Style Sashimi were great introductions to the first impressions of the quality and range of the dishes available as they were the assortment dishes. Our server provided us with guidance on what we should try first on the Jo Moriawase in order to prevent ending up with eating soggy nori which we appreciated. The Black Cod Nigiri is nothing I have ever tried before so this was also an interesting experience for our tastebuds. My dad has a tough palate to appease but to my surprise, he was satisfied with the Spider Roll Temaki and Chashu Ramen (he thought the pork broth could have been less strong but nonetheless still enjoyed, not like the artificial flavourings you get in an instant ramen if you know what I mean). The Chirashizushi was great for me as I love my sashimi. I didn't realise the yellow portions were actually tamago/egg roll until I tasted it. Some sort of gastronomical wizardry? My mum really lavished the Yaki Udon textures, with the udon noodles having the right amount of nudge needed to chew and biting into the nice crispy outer layer of the tofu. My only regret is not having enough room to try the desserts. Overall, a unique adventure for the tastebuds! The price: If you are extremely budget conscious, perhaps I would not be able to recommend Kibou to you. For a family of three, we were about £40-50 per person. As of my visit, the service charge is 10%. Don't get me wrong though, I think the service charge is fair and reasonable because our experience with the staff we talked to and came by our table were lovely. The atmosphere: Family-friendly but also evening bar feel. Sakura Cherry Blossom and other Japanese-related art themes run throughout the restaurant. The service: We didn't have to wait very long to be seated or served. The waiting staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. The kitchen staff did an amazing job with the food. Would I come again?: Yes, as a treat! Plus I want to try the dessert next time! :"
