  “Disgusting experience, with a worm and a fly in the same bento box. Until seeing them, I was extremely happy about food, everything tasted great. But suddenly I saw the worm, they changed that plate, then I saw the bug on the sushi, and that was enough. They didn’t charge me obviously but it’s still disappointing. I also didn’t like the guy’s attitude serving food (hint: he wasn’t Japanese).”

  “Got a recommendation to Mugen. I choice to book and would suggest other do, it was packed. Staff were lovely, answering any questions we had. Started with a salad, which was simple but very nice. Then miso soup, again really lovely. Me a friend when for the bento boxes. They were around £26-27 each. Selection was fantastic. Sushi was good, as was the salad. However the tempura was fabulous, mix of veg and prawns. Batter was super crisp. Well worth going for lunch. Only slight down side and not a complaint, it’s noisy, mainly cos it’s so busy. If you want a quiet place for lunch, this might not be the place. If you want amazing food, it’s definitely the place to go.”

  “The sushi and assorted sashimi set was very good. The hot dishes were nice as well, although they were not as impressive as the sushi and sashimi. Unfortunately, there was a table of customers speaking very loudly, which made the experience less enjoyable and hurt my ears. Other than that, everything was good.”

  “A hidden Japanese den on Leather Lane. The starters and mains were delicious and varied, the upside down gyozo pancake was unique, and the crab roles were crunchy and subtle. We were a bit disappointed in the desserts and the jasmine tea was a little expensive, but we'd go back again and I would recommend it to friends.”

  “Mugen in Farringdon is an excellent choice for Japanese cuisine and sushi. Service here was super friendly and attentive. The sushi was as fresh as I’ve ever experienced and the sushi kitchen looked superiorly clean. The entire restaurant looked very nice. When I first arrived the crowd was packed in and buzzing, so I got started with a bottle of Sake. For food, I went with the Mugen Mackerel Sushi and a generous portion of delicious Katsu Ju. Everything was perfect. Highly recommended.”

  “Had lunch here for the first time and ordered the vegetarian bento box 🍱. It was amazing. I’ve stopped eating sushi but still love Japanese food, so I’ve switched to vegetarian options and didn’t expect to enjoy it this much. This place completely changed my mind. The food was beautifully presented, but the taste was the real highlight. Honestly, it was some of the best Japanese food I’ve ever had. The miso soup was especially good. The waitress was very polite and constantly smiling, which gave the whole place such a positive, welcoming vibe. This is definitely my new go to spot. Thank you 🙏 for the wonderful meal. See you soon!! stevie”

  “Booked a table for my dad's birthday and we enjoyed our meal so much. The service was so friendly and the food incredibly fresh and tasty for a reasonable price for that quality (and quantity - the sushi was huge!) It's clearly a long-standing establishment for a good reason.”

  “I have been to Mugen several times and the food and service are both always exceptional. The bento boxes are beautiful and tasty, the signature dish mackerel sushi is flavoursome, and the hot pot dishes warms the soul. They also have lots of excellent sake and Japanese beer. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience authentic Japanese food and atmosphere!”
