Pretty 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/💃

Joycie

By 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 Cambra

Authentic 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 & C

Very 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.

Ordered saba bento ,samurai dragon. Service was satisfying!Will definitely go for a second time. I must say the samurai dragon tasted superb, if i had enough money i will not share it with others!

Fresh and melt-in-the-mouth fish , among the best sushis I ever had. Great bento boxes for lunch . Good price for quality.

Edelyn

Great 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 !

Kristina Pham

yummy 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 xx

Jessi @2feet1world

Delicious 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?!

Lexi Zhao

Always a not-so-expensive treat at Eat Tokyo! But watch out their sashimi boat can be not fresh sometimes. Bentos are very nice!

James Regan

What fantastic little Gem of a restaurant . Take me back to Tokyo please. Very reasonable as well .

Matt Barber

Sashimi is second to none! Chef is hilarious and friendly . Get the sashimi boat if you are hungry.

Eat Tokyo is a proper Japanese restaurant with aspect of the Japanese culture that don’t usually surface. Like pop culture and massive menu.

Mary Bogdanovitch

There is the line during lunch time, but it was very fast. Amazing sushi , big portions , good rates

I 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 !

Olivier Fécherolle

Great authentic Japanese food , skilled sushi chefs , affordable prices ; I like it very much!

James Regan

Very helpful staff , explaining food and portion sizes. "So men don't get the double size Katsu for ye-self. Share it with ye Queen".

angelina storti

Really good izakaya , traditional atmosphere , totally reminds me of my time in Osaka 😀

Alicia Jansen

Best Japanese I've had in a long time. Great fun staff , can wait a long time for service at times though

Fresh

Sashimi tastes very different from what I tried before. And I am not sure I liked it. Friendly though

Alex Mann

Little gem of a place in Holborn! Great sushi and massive portions in the family-owned establishment.

Stefan de Goeij

Good japanese look and feel restaurant , great sushi ....

Cem RZLY

All the sushies are yummy. You could wait a little in the que but it worths.

Ricky Thomas

food is great, book if you want to go at busy time. No clue why people queue for hours on Sat night

Paul Conort

Authentic Cheap Izakaya you would find in Japan, but in London.

John Louis Swaine

Staggeringly broad menu. Excellent food. A real hidden gem in the city

Fiona G.👑

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

Alice Ruzavina

Brilliant plum wine , nice dragon rolls , matcha I've cream

Good, cheap and quick Japanese. They do lots of lunch specials .

Shannon Low

Excellent oyster furai, katsu don and tempura .

Mimi Lee

Great chirashi don!! Reasonable pricing.

Salim

The 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.

David Jensen

Great sushi rolls .

Aristotelis R

If 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 weekly

Ahmed Hassan

Feels authentic and a wide selection of dishes

Kelly Heung

Yummy bento , just a bit slow as always...

Mateus Coelho

Good 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 it

Beto Montejo

Bento boxes are brilliant!

Ross Howie

Chicken liver yakitori is superb!

Ricardo Soares

Great food and good prices!

K

Reasonable 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!!

eda b

make sure to have a reservation for dinner time
