"Had a nice meal here. Ordered the salmon teriyaki bento box which was a lot of food. Lots of different things so pleasantly surprised. Couldn't eat all of it. Comes with a soup too. Reasonable price so happy. Seemed like a nice venue. Saw people working there or just having coffee and cafe. The only thing that let it down was the dirty cutlery and grubby toilets. The tap water was taken from a tray of already poured glasses of water uncovered so I wasn't too keen on drinking it. Service is included in bill. Not keen on that either tbh, I always like to leave my own tip for service. The restaurant is located in the Green Rooms which is an hotel."

"The restaurant was nice and the food was good.However there was one waitress who was not very pleasant with us. I think her name was Maria Claudia.We arrived at the restaurant mins before our booking and asked if we could be seated earlier. There was a guard who told us to go in and choose a table, but I wanted to check with the waitress first. I asked Maria Claudia, and she said, without checking anything and in an impolite manner, that they have reservations and cannot seat us before our reserved time. Although, the restaurant was completely empty except for two tables.That didn't bother us since we knew our booking was still mins away, and there could actually be reservations before us. however, we sat exactly opposite the restaurant and we could see the whole restaurant and tables. We waited mins, and during that time only one or two tables were used and the rest were all empty.Nonetheless we went in at our reserved time. After looking at the menu we had few questions for the waitress, so we called Maria Claudia. She seemed on edge as if she really does not want to answer our questions, she kept looking away and rolling here eyes. We asked her about an item in the menu if it can be swapped for something else, she replied "No I don't think so, that's what's on the menu", so I asked her you don't think so or are you sure? She then said I don't think we can do it. So I politely asked her to check with the chef, she agreed but never came back to inform us.We were then served by two other waitresses who were both very professional and nice"

"One way to determine just how good and authentic a Japanese restaurant is, is how popular it is with the Japanese themselves. Well, this little place is frequented by Japanese regulars every day, many of them risking their careers by leaving their desks in the City for a few moments! Don't be put off by the unassuming premises. Whether you're looking for unadulterated made to order sushi and sashimi, or, in my experience, the best (and most addictive) katsu curry London has to offer, then this is the place. And it's all at reasonable prices. Unexpectedly for such good Japanese food, it's run by a pair of Sri Lankans who trained in Japan for several months, and it shows. Although they also offer some Thai options, I'd stick to the Japanese stuff as that's where they really excel. The lunch specials are especially good value."

"We visited Yoku on a Sunday evening for a meal after a long day's walking. We were not disappointed! We were met warmly upon walking in and were looked after really well by the team. We enjoyed sake cocktails, wine and beer and an array of super fresh, tasty Japanese food. We chose the pumpkin croquettes, prawn tempura, various sushi rolls and chicken katsu donburi and all were really delicious. The prices were very reasonable for a Japanese restaurant (they had a Korean page on the menu too) and the restaurant had lovely lighting and music playing. We loved Yoku and will definitely be back!"

"incredibly delicious! we love Oishi-Q! definitiw a place to go back list. we had the fried squid and agedashi tofu for starter - both were very tasty and freshly cooked. for the net we had chicken kaarage with Oishi sauce (Japanese mayo and Tokonatsu sauce) as well as chicken katsu curry. both were served with a lot of huh and I thought the karaage was extremely good fried! to improve, we would have liked to see more soss for the katsu curry when the rice drinks them all up and would like to have a few more nice. Otherwise, one must visit and I will try to spit the yakitori next time as she saw very appealing."

"I thought the service was a little slow, but then it was a busy Saturday night. the gyozas were extremely good and cut a coat hanger. I have the seafood. Unfortunately, the noodles were very overcooked and soggy, but I still give 5 stars because the personal got me a fresh within 10 minutes and recognized the problem. the seafood were delicious and it was great to have a lot of sweet in the plate. the waiter offered then even free dessert, which really changes the whole mood for a 5-star experience."

"This charming and comfortable restaurant has incredibly welcoming staff. Due to its small size and popularity, it's best to make a reservation ahead of time. The sushi and rolls on offer are outstanding, you won't find much better than this. The salmon lover set and California rolls are our top choices."

"I enjoy food there. But menu needs to be updated. I took my little boy to the restaurant for a lunch and he usually liked pumpkin croquettes, so ordered a sushi set which included croquettes. But croquettes did not come so asked the staff then she said they changed menu and if I want it I need to order it separately. The menu wasn't updated and the restaurant did not notify before they serve the food either, so I had to reorder croquettes separately but very unpleasant. It'd have been better if they notify in advance or update their menu properly. And the way the staff said was rather rude as if she was not bothered for having a wrong menu. I went to a restaurant with my child and ordered a sushi set with pumpkin croquettes, which I usually eat, but the croquettes did not come out. When I asked, they said the menu had changed. The changes were not applied to the actual menu, and they were not notified in advance when ordering the food. However, since the change was made only after receiving the food, they told me to order it separately if I wanted to eat the croquette. Even though it comes as a side, since it is a set, you order it after looking at the set. However, I was disappointed that the food was sold using the wrong menu and the staff seemed to take it as if it was normal. In the end, we ordered separately, but since the meal had already been completed and the food was received, the child did not eat it. If there is a change in food sales, please notify us in advance of the change, and it seems that the staff will need training to respond flexibly even if this part is not followed."
"we have eaten in some twickenham’s restaurants and had a few great meals, but I think that must be the best and surely one of the best Japanese restaurants outside central london. service is friendly and the dishes are quickly brought out and made with care. the menu offers not only sushi, but a large selection of authentic starters along with some nudel and bentobox dishes. we decided to order several smaller dishes and a few sushi, so we can taste more of the menu. the otopus legs with seaweed were with those I had in japan, the chicken carage (lightly roasted chicken) was superb and tender, the slightly roasted tofu in broth was tender and tasty and all the sushi dishes were fresh and very good in the did. To round it, the price design for the high quality level will certainly try to return. highly recommended"

"Obon: a petit Japanese udon restaurant that supplies a sense of Japan that cannot be found anywhere else in the whole of the Uk. (5 stars) Location: Obon is located close to the heart of Kingston but the road it’s on is considerably quieter. You must make sure to have a basic knowledge of Kingston in order to find an area to park and to also make sure you leave yourself enough time, taking the unpredictability of the traffic into acount. Even on a week day there can be traffic jams which can put a halt to your plans and due to the small amount of customers Obon can take its important that you not only book but make sure that you arrive at the agreed booking time. With this being said the staff are all lovely so if you are running late, a quick call is all that is required to just give Obon a chance to understand your position. The food: The array of exquisitely prepared sashimi will be sure to create the sensation that you are in a top Japanese restaurant in japan and the flavour of the fish does not fail to match expectations, which will be very high after just one glance at your meal. The fish is delicately seasoned and practically melts on your tongue, this causes a lovely sensation and is genuinely the finest sushi I have tasted in the uk and even matches a lot of the top restaurants in japan. On top of just the traditional types of sushi, which to many is maki rolls Obon also offers many other delicious options such as soft shell crab and even Unagi don, which I must highly recommend due to it consistently being the highlight of my meal. For those of you that were interested in the quality of the basic Japanese dishes such as miso soup or edamame they do not fail to leave you in grand anticipation for what is to come for they are, simply speaking, incredibly good. The miso, in my opinion, is truly remarkable and creates a lasting feeling of warmth throughout your entire body, on top of that it is far superior to other miso’s that I have tasted in all other areas of the world. Overall the quality of the food is something you would expect from a world famous Michelin star restaurant and if you want Japanese food it’s the only place I can recommend. The Restaurant: The restaurant itself is small but authentic in nature and because it only has a enough tables to host around 20 people at the most, the service is exceptionally good and your food is always out quickly so you will not be left hungry for very long. The staff are kind and friendly. And it’s always an enjoyable experience being waves goodbye as you leave the restaurant. You’re also able to watch as they prepare the food, which for some could be entertaining. There are Japanese photos scattered around the room and this further creates an authentic feel. The atmosphere is not lively but it is a restaurant and not a bar so is an ideal location if you are wanting high quality food. With this being said it is still a great place to go with friends and I consistently am able to have a great time no matter the occasion. Price: Obviously, the price of the food is always an important topic to come to and despite the cost of the sushi being slightly higher than you may expect from a small restaurant in Kingston, I would have to say that for the quality of the food it is ultimately a bargain. For three people, you would be spending around £100 so it isn’t cheap but you can go for cheaper types of food such as udon, which is still amazing quality and won’t set you back as much money. Overall: Obon is still my favourite restaurant in the whole of the Uk and is perfect for a special occasion but it isn’t the sort of place you’d go for a casual night out. The food is beyond incredible and thus they can cater for both children and adults by meeting every bodies needs. For anybody that enjoys sushi, I would urge you to give it a go, you won’t regret it"

"Another trip to Obon for my pescatarian mother. The greeting and service overall was awesome. We ordered a Yamato Platter (with a couple of mods) and soft drinks (tea, mineral water). Every member of staff (FOH, kitchen) was friendly and smiley but also natural in their demeanor. We weren 't rushed, pushed anything and any specific requests were dealt with happily and with ZERO fuss. The fish was fresh-tasting, well presented and plentiful. It baffles me that this place is ONLY #4 in Kingston. When it comes to quality, value and service; this place is the best in London. Book your table! It is (quite rightly) very busy every night. I 'm a waiter, done this sh!t for 32yrs with all sorts of companies. These guys do it better than I 've ever seen. Polite, efficient, tasty, plentiful, amicable and reasonable on the wallet. I 'm so happy this place is only 10min walk from my home."

"Came on Saturday for a late lunch after a wonder around the Makers Market. It wasn't very busy so quite easy to get a table. Ordered two uramaki rolls, the Mushu and the spider crab, both of which were quite nice. We also ordered the squid, karaage and pumpkin croquettes which were OK, could have done with some more seasoning. Food also took a while to come out, and the waitress got one of our orders wrong but not a huge problem as she corrected it and got us what we ordered."
