- VivianAugust 24, 2014Pretty small place but clean and good service. Big portions with the most reasonable price for a Japanese meal in London (I think). Try hyper roll, salmon tataki, chirashi don, unagi don,... £20-25/💃

JoycieNovember 1, 2016By FAR the best sushi in London, hands down. This restaurant is all about value for money. Their sushi is always up to par and the bento boxes are a killer. Definitely go with the chicken katsu - wow

Pedro CambraMay 1, 2016Authentic Japanese. Nothing to envy from the Golders Green branch. Prices are reasonable and portions are big, order less than you would. Very creative sushi rolls. Lunchtime in weekends is not busy.

D & CAugust 12, 2018Very authentic and well priced. The food boat at the start of the menu is too big for 2 people if you also want to eat meats and hot dishes. Top marks for a casual dinner with friends.UpvoteDownvote- Constance | @croostifoodiMarch 21, 2016Fresh and melt-in-the-mouth fish, among the best sushis I ever had. Great bento boxes for lunch. Good price for quality.

EdelynNovember 8, 2014Great food without breaking the bank. Good quality and taste authentic, the place is always busy and can be cramped. I love the bento box and the deep fried squid tentacles as an appetizer!UpvoteDownvote- Kristina PhamMarch 12, 2014yummy salmon teriyaki bento l as well as hyper roll or dragon roll. Udon and kaiso salad was pretty bland. Lovely matcha ice cream, one of my favourite places xxUpvote1Downvote
Jessi @2feet1worldFebruary 16, 2018Delicious sushi but the "booking system" was a bit of a scene - waiting outside for 15 minutes with others who had bookings while they turned the tables over. Worth it once we had our food, I guess?!UpvoteDownvote
Lexi ZhaoMay 10, 2015Always a not-so-expensive treat at Eat Tokyo! But watch out their sashimi boat can be not fresh sometimes. Bentos are very nice!

Matt BarberMarch 11, 2016Sashimi is second to none! Chef is hilarious and friendly. Get the sashimi boat if you are hungry.

C ManApril 13, 2014I saw the head chef licked his hands and then prepared the fish for one of the customers he made fun off. He told his staff colleagues, who laughed and then happily watch his customer eat the fish!UpvoteDownvote- Olivier FécherolleOctober 24, 2018Great authentic Japanese food, skilled sushi chefs, affordable prices; I like it very much!UpvoteDownvote

Fresh sashimi but charges extra 50p for wasabi if you order maki rolls, do check your bill or ask before ordering extra wasabi!UpvoteDownvote

SalimDecember 14, 2018The service is very chaotic. Some of us finished their dish, while other were still waiting for their order to come!Beside this, the food is very good.UpvoteDownvote
Aristotelis RNovember 8, 2015If you think this place is good, you really haven't tried proper sushi. Food is both uninspired and not fresh. Shame on them. First time I didn't ate everything I ordered and I am having sushi weeklyUpvoteDownvote
Mateus CoelhoSeptember 1, 2018Good food, good prices, awful service. People tolerate the service because the food is good and cheap. But the service is REALLY bad. And I mean itUpvoteDownvote
KJanuary 5, 2017Reasonable prices especially given the portion size. However service is terrible and we found plastic in both salad AND drink. No money off or real apology either!!UpvoteDownvote
Michael Chang KimFebruary 3, 2016just go there for some bento but do not expect japanese food. the place is packed up with young people. If you want Japanese, I don't recommend. not managed by Japanese anymoreUpvoteDownvote
