Fantastic food cooked right in front of you. Amazing combination. Gyoza like I’ve never had before. Will definitely go back. Make sure to book a table well in advance.

A delicious take on Japanese food that I haven't seen anywhere else. The swirls are made in front of your very eyes at your table in seven stages and topped with fish flakes : http://bit.ly/2BytVpJ

The best place for Japaneese food! Just grab some okonomyaki (cooked in front of you) and umeshu with it and enjoy. It gets really hot in the restaurant . Will not be a quick meal , so take time.

Dan Cunningham

Get the obonomi-yaki and enjoy an enthralling experience as these Japanese omelettes are artfully prepared in front of your eyes. Get all the toppings including the fish flakes !

Hands down one of the best Japanese restaurants I've been to! Get the Chicken and Cheese Okonomiyaki , Sapporo Beer , and Matcha Ice Cream .

María

It takes a while to get the okonomiyaki ready, but it is SO worth it. Check out the seasonal menu , it's also full of wonders.

Jon Wilks

In terms of authenticity , one of the best Japanese restaurants in London . Don't expect any high-end sushi joint : this is okonomiyaki , plain and simple, just like Okaasan used to make. Book ahead.

Victoria

Words cannot describe this place. I feel like I am in Japan ????????. Please do try their dessert ! They are brilliant ❤️

Melissa Atwell

This is a fantastic Japanese restaurant ! The okonomi-yaki was delicious, as was the tepanyaki. Get the Mio sparkling sake ! Attentive staff , and clean food preparation. Highly recommended!

Dani Tustin

Tableside okonomiyaki ...need I say more? The Tokyo style was delicious and the deluxe size was perfect for one.

Nhan Ngo

The okonomiyaki was good with a good amount of "fillings"/ingredients. Even better then some I had in Japan.

Güneş Bayır

healthy food with lots of ingredients! lots of choices exist, we tried the daily special .

Gordon THOMPSON

They prepare the food at the table, doing it this way for 16 years and the food is great, but the service is as slow as a 'slug on Valium' and the choice of beer disappointing. If you have time try it

yash

my first time having okonomiyaki , they made it right in front of us and it tasted quite good; can't wait to return

Josh Taroli

Fun experience, take the Japanese pancakes (Tokyo is a good choice) food is 'cooked' on the table. (10-18£)

Rinat Ashkenazi

Nice little place. We had just starters to share and the gyoza was very good. Just make sure your not wearing anything special, as you will come out smelling like food.

Mark J.

Some of the best and most authentic Japanese food in London! Definitely a fan and definitely worth the price

Saba Deniz

Everything is organic and u can find lots of glutenfree opsions. Good taste and different ecperience.

Best okonomiyaki west of Osaka. Matcha ice cream is home made and you'll be hard pressed to find better.

Susan Loh

okonomiyaki takes some time to prepare so ordered some appetizers . if they have eggplant on the specials list, get it.

Don't miss this one! Very close to the British Museum . Abeno makes great Okonomi-yakis! Best restaurant in London!

The Okonomiyaki heaven! Abeno has only tables while Abeno Too is more modern and you can eat at a counter.

Try the London Mix Okonomiyaki for main course. And if hotcakes are on the specials menu, try them too. They're the perfect pancake .

Amazing place and it’s a must if you visit London! You can spend hours & hours inside so plan well if you are time poor. Worth to hire the audio as it can be really crowded to get too close. - Maria
