If I'm in Soho, this is my no brainer go to restaurant . Try the Aubergine Agé Bitashi and the Spinach Goma for starters and the Tamago Don for a Japanese take on the omelette . Big portions free.

The bottomless free green tea is enough to entice you to the Tokyo Diner, the great food is enough to keep you there. They don't allow tipping & larger portions free! Best value Japanese in London.

i feel im in Tokyo .. no seriously this is Japan in London..Viggie Bento is a safe choice if u are a first timer .. chicken katsu curry or viggie curry as well .. i will come again!

Michelle Teefey-Lee

Cute little lowkey diner , no fuss menu with a huge selection of delicious dishes. Great service and pretty good value !

Nat M

Lunch sets are worth it! Flavourful soba noodles cooked just right, bowlful of salad , fresh sashimi . Warning, you might experience a post-lunch food coma. Expect queues even during lunch .

Markus Anderljung

The spinach goma , soba , and the age dashi tofu was amazing. Really nice vegetarian/vegan. Great service. The live CCTV on their website is a fun touch.

Lisa Talia Moretti

Very traditional Japanese diner selling sushi , udon & soba . They don't accept tips, which is traditional Japanese culture. They're also open till really late. Great to know for THOSE nights in Soho :)

Constance C

Warm & humble place. Small,but essential menu for a quick Japanese craving. Good food. Quite a line on Friday evening, but quick for lone diner . It's quite comfortable to dine alone here

Bobby

Authentic Japanese right down to the automatic door and table sauce pots. Probably better value (and flavour) than many sushi places in London.

Chris R (thechristophe)

Super tasty and simple Japanese in a cosy atmosphere . Plenty of vegetarian options including katsu curry .

Megan Harmer

Their operations are efficient and sustainable, service is friendly , quick and the food is yummy! I would go back in a heartbeat.

Peal Partz

I love this place! Katsu curry is delicious as well . I love that you can ask for more rice for free. Everyone I take here loves it.

Jason Quarisa

Excellent Japanese! Highly recommend for dates, friends or groups. Salmon Tataki, chicken Kara-age and chicken Katsu are the standouts.

Will Mofield

Delicious bento boxes , reasonably priced too which is a surprise for this part of town . Enjoyed my first ever cup of sake here!

Peter

Chicken Katsu Don is simple but delicious. Service is quick and there's no tipping, perfect last-minute food near Leister Square

Rachel Mercer

Great sushi , but on a cold or wet day the Chicken Katsu Curry will absolutely hit the spot.

Dee Dee Lee

I had curry udon with chicken . Great service, they don't take tips. Would definitely go back and try chicken katsu curry next time!

Catherine Reynolds

Feels like Japan! Sushi really fresh and tasty as are noodles and rice dishes. Don't leave tips..they don't accept them here!

Bijan Young

Really good sashimi and kari age. Simple service. Good price point. Choice of light and fuller dishes.

Hidden gem in London Chinatown. Very good Japanese food at a very fair price !!

Mickaël Augello

Very good value . Authentic Japanese food , the service is minimalist but I recommend this place. Free green tea

Ollie Glass

Adorable little place, very homely and understated. Feels like a family run restaurant in a Tokyo suburb.

The most honest, simple, and authentic Japanese food I've found in London. All the Japanese customers get the curry !

One of my favs! Decent price for Soho. Fairly easy to just show up and get a table.

Sam Brookes

Great food and great sushi ! Nice alternative option at the corner of China town

Chris R (thechristophe)

Still my number one place to go. So tasty.

David Smith

Awesome. Lovely ton katsu bento box . Asahi beer for about £2 (seriously). Neighbourhood vibe. Delicious. And they dont take tips. Great value !

Natasha 'Tashster' Brassington

Don't forget to get in a shout for extra helpings of your rice with just a one word call of 'Omari. The Gyu-Don is fantastic. Japanese cuisine in a clean and homely manner! おいしい!

Jan Szumiec

Excellent value for money . Authentic , high quality Japanese food . I recommend Tori Kara Age.

Kerry Ritz

Love how they don't serve tuna since it's not sustainable! And, no tipping--even better. And the food is great for the price especially at lunchtime.

Jordi Rius

Amazing Kathy curry , very good ramen , but the staff is very disappointing, as always...

Lauren Bates

The kitsune udon was really tasty and comforting on a cold night.

Very good sushi . Try some soft cooked egg dish and warm sake . Tea is free!

The donburi are fantastic; katsu don is my favourite, get an ōmori portion if you're extra hungry!!

Marion Nikoloudaki

Excellent traditional Japanese restaurant !

Marjorie C

Ordered the bento box and it was decent but not overly memorable. I wouldn't go so far to say it's one of the best Japanese places in London but no major complaints.

Craig S

Tell your friends to go on tokyodiner.com to watch you eat. Or don't.

Adrien JOUVINIER
