"Could not fault any part of my experience at this place. Service was helpful and happy without being overbearing or bothersome. Ambience was fantastic and the food was delicious. Well made with quality ingredients and full of flavour I cannot wait to return to this restaurant and sample more of the delights on their menu."

"The best sushi place in Cambridge for its price (a meal costs approx. 20 pounds), it is much better than comparable expensive competitors. It tastes really good, and there is no need for wasabi or soy sauce We had the superior sushi set, soft shell crab futomaki, tempura prawn rolls (larger than expected) and vegetables futomaki"

"Great food however please be aware there is more than one food menu and they may not offer both to you. I ordered from the more limited menu but saw others people getting sushi which was not on my menu. When I enquired how they were ordering sushi I was then told about menu 2. I wanted to change my order but unfortunately it had already gone to the kitchen and couldn’t be changed. This was incredibly disappointing and ruined our dining experience as first time visitors. It seems if your not a regular you may end up missing out. Restaurant occupancy was about 30 but despite this it felt as if were being rushed out which also made us feel a bit unwelcome. I would probably give oita one more try and hopefully next time is better"

"the restaurant was nice and the food was good. but there was a waitress that was not very pleasant with us. I think her name was maria claudia. we arrived at the restaurant 45 minutes before our booking and asked if we could sit earlier. there was a warmer 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 rudely, that they have kept and cannot put us before our reserved time. although the restaurant was completely empty up to two tables. that has not disturbed us, as we knew that our booking was still 45 minutes away, and it could actually make reservations before us. We sat but exactly opposite the restaurant and could see the whole restaurant and tables. we waited 45 minutes, and during this time only one or two tables were used and the rest was all empty. but we went to our reserved time. after visiting the menu we had few asking for the waitress, so we called maria claudia. she seemed to answer as if she really didn't want to answer our questions, she always looked away and rolled the eyes here. we asked them about an article in the menu, if it can be exchanged for something else, they answered no I don't think that 's what's on the menu, so I asked them not think, or are they safe? she said I don't think we can do it. So I asked her politely to check with the cook, she agreed, but never came back to inform us. we were then served by two other waitresses who were both very professional and nice."

"super! From the outside the restaurant looked cozy and picturesque. the limited seating area made it quite exclusive, with options of bar, tables and zashiki (traditional low-table seating). there was a nice atmosphere. all guests, including us, enjoy the place. the staff was very friendly and cheerful. we had ordered small dishes from the meat menu and net. they were all delicious. can also not go wrong with asahi on hahn! we thank the restaurant for such a beautiful experience. we would recommend this facility for anyone who loves Japanese food or wants to try something new!"

"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."

"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."

"Lots of options for food, limited options for cocktails. Food was delicious and the service was good, if not a bit slow at times. We would definitely visit again! I had the pumpkin katsu, it was absolutely incredible. Restaurant is clean and well spaced out. Low lighting inside which made it more comfortable. Chopsticks only so if you can't use them then beware!"

"The food and staff at this restaurant are incredible. I will definitely be returning. The service, meal type was dinner, and the price per person was between £50-60. The food, service, and atmosphere were all rated 5 stars. Highly recommended dishes include Takoyaki, Sashimi, Teriyaki Soba, Salmon Lovers Set, Mixed Tempura, Special Rolls, and Gyoza."

"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"

"Where do I even start with this place. I had such high hopes after reading the reviews. If the alley way wasn’t enough to scare you off please enjoy the never ending line of Deliveroo drivers as you enter the restaurant (first red flag) having ordered our food we then have to witness about 12 bags being packed, while we wait 20 mins before having to ask for a glass of water. Three skewers of Yakatori chicken arrive, tepid and seemingly have not been grilled. My beer arrives about the only saving grace of this meal. Our mains arrive, both rice dishes which were incredibly disappointing. Lacking in flavour and oily. New Malden has fantastic restaurants sadly this isn’t one of them."
"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"

"Ok, nice and soft sushi but too stingy with the salmon piece and way too thick of a portion of rice. Basically paying for rice.. prawn tempura was better but still not great. Lovely people, very small place to sit in so came home! May go back and try the noodles, saw customers plates that looked better Price per person: £10–20 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3"

"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."
