  “A very good restaurant. Some truly unique meat dishes—the kind I’ve never tasted anywhere else in the world. Fresh, flavorful fish. Kind and friendly staff.”

  “One of the best unagi donburi I’ve had since moving to the UK. The eel was perfectly grilled—soft, tender, and full of flavour, with a delicious glaze that wasn’t overly sweet. The portion was generous, and everything in the bento was fresh, especially the sushi and tamagoyaki. The salad also tasted fresh and balanced the meal nicely. I’ve tried quite a few Japanese restaurants in the UK, but it’s been a long time since I’ve had unagi this good. It really reminded me of the quality I used to have before coming to the UK. The staff were friendly, the food arrived quickly, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m craving unagi. Highly recommended! 🍱👍”

  “I have visited Eat Tokyo before at other branches and had good experiences, which is why I decided to return. Unfortunately, this visit was extremely disappointing. First of all, I had booked a table for four people, but we were given a very large table at the very back of the restaurant. The table next to us was also unusually large, making the area feel cramped and awkward. There was really no need for such oversized tables, as they could not accommodate additional customers and simply made dining uncomfortable. We ordered eight different dishes, and sadly most of them were far below the standard I expected from Eat Tokyo. The sushi bento was disappointing. The sushi was served noticeably warm, which affected both the texture and overall taste. Sushi should be fresh and properly chilled, so receiving warm sushi was quite unpleasant. The fried items were even worse. They had a strong stale oil flavour, suggesting the frying oil was old or overdue for changing. Some pieces were also overcooked and burnt. I am generally not someone who leaves food unfinished and will usually make an effort to finish my meal, but the fried chicken was so unpleasant that I simply could not finish it. Honestly, it was one of the worst fried chicken dishes I have had in the UK. The Wagyu sushi looked impressive, but unfortunately the spring onion completely overpowered the flavour of the beef. All I could really taste was spring onion rather than Wagyu. Overall, this was a very disappointing meal. The presentation looked good in the photos, but the quality and flavour did not match the appearance. As someone who has enjoyed Eat Tokyo at other branches before, this experience was particularly frustrating. I sincerely hope this is an issue specific to this branch rather than a reflection of the Eat Tokyo brand as a whole, because my previous visits elsewhere were much better.”

  “The New menu is hyping me up! Also visited this resto many times and weekday lunch is surely the best time to visit for their weekday lunch special sushi set! Green tea is another classic. My wife enjoyed the sushi selection she picked and the okonomiyaki. The orka was good also but sadly two pieces were very chewy but its still good in general. Keep it up Eat Tokyo!”

  “Good value for money with large portions and plenty of menu choices. The sashimi was acceptable but not particularly fresh, and the quality was fairly average. One thing that stood out was the service. The waitress did not smile throughout the entire meal and the service lacked the warmth and attentiveness that many people associate with Japanese hospitality. If you’re expecting the level of service often found in authentic Japanese restaurants, you may be disappointed. Overall, it’s a decent place for a filling and affordable Japanese meal, but not the place to go for high-quality sashimi or a traditional Japanese dining experience.”

  “Came back from Japan recently, while this place is already quite popular I hadn’t heard about it and didn’t read anything on it but the decor reminded me of Japan so decided to give it a try. The quality of the food was amazing, portions were good, and the overall value for money was good and even better when you compare it to surrounding restaurants. The staff were very friendly and I will definitely come back. 10/10!”

  “I went for a quick lunch and arrived at 12:07 when it opened at 12, but there was already a queue even though most of the seats inside were empty and we were not allowed in, which was frustrating, then after about 10 minutes I was seated and annoyed to see the inside was still largely empty, I ordered 8 different dishes to try but the tonkatsu had its coating completely falling off so I had to eat the meat and batter separately, the sushi was very low quality and not what you should expect, and about 20 minutes after eating I started to get a stomach ache and a slight headache, possibly because the sushi did not seem fresh, so overall it is not worth going just because it is cheap. The food was served too slowly, so the meal kept being interrupted and it made the whole experience feel rather tasteless, and although some people may still go because it is cheap, I would not recommend it.”

  “Great food at a great prices. The portions are massive here as well! I recommend the eel bento and salmon teriyaki bento 🍱. One thing to note: It often has a long queue outside that can take around 30+ mins to get through. I would recommend walking 10-15 mins over to their other branch in Covent Garden which is way less busier, just as good and you can often get a table right away.”

  “One of my go-to Japanese spots that is affordable and insanely good quality for London. The menu is HUGE and there’s something for everyone, the quality is amazing. The service was lovely and our food arrived at the same time. The staff were attentive and friendly. The sushi rolls are incredible! I highly recommend the two way salmon roll and their bento boxes :) make a reservation via phone if you can!”
