Customer Review Summary
Thick-cut salmon, served as sashimi or in the teriyaki salmon donburi, is what reviewers praise most, calling it fresh, creamy and rich. The all-you-can-eat menu caps it at a few servings per person. Close behind is the takoyaki, soft and fluffy with real pieces of octopus, followed by fried eggplant in kelp broth with a light, crispy coating, and a tempura platter with large shrimp and vegetables. Teriyaki chicken, whether grilled leg over rice or on its own, gets repeated praise for tenderness, and one reviewer singles out the pumpkin croquettes. Many describe the buffet as very good value, with dishes made to order. The trade-offs are practical. The room is small, evenings fill up, and several suggest reserving beforehand. Reviewers mention slow mains, a limit of two ordering rounds, and a queue around the busy dinner hour. One would like a bit more vinegar in the sushi rice. Several note the restaurant is strict about food waste, and one says leftovers on the table are charged.

“Make sure you make the reservation beforehand as they are always full house for the evening buffet! The price is really good considering of the options and the food quality is also great! The space is a bit tight inside the restaurant. It can be a little bit confused about how to make the order as you can only order 2 rounds. The only thing is that their main dishes tend to take quite long to prepare and you need to wait quite a while for them. Also if you have any leftover food, they will charge you for them.”

“This small, family-run Asian restaurant was an absolute gem. The all-you-can-eat menu offered incredible value for money, with every dish tasting fresh, high quality, and full of flavour. What really stood out was the warm, friendly atmosphere and the attentive service throughout the meal — the staff were welcoming, helpful, and made us feel genuinely appreciated as customers. A fantastic local spot that we’ll definitely be returning to.”

“For £19.99 all you eat in London, is very good value. I would say some dishes are better or on par with eat Tokyo. The price includes drinks and service charge. You can pay by card. Make a reservation before you go, see my photo for details. Salmon sashimi is limited to 6 pieces per person and you can only order two rounds. Doesn’t sound much but you will be full by the end of it. Great service and food came quickly.”

“Went to try out their new unlimited mains, side a drinks offering for £19.90! Food was fresh and all made to order! It’s a family run business so while the service was slower you can really tell that they put a lot of effect of heart into making each item! While the price is good they are very serious about food waste so do want to make sure you finish what is on your table before you reorder! The place is also small so do prepare to wait if you come at a busy time!”

“This place has just launched an all-you-can-eat dinner menu starting from 5 pm every evening (til summer), featuring unlimited sushi, sides, and mains. Their chicken teriyaki and salmon are both absolutely superb, and the sushi is freshly made to order. The tempura platter also offers a fantastic variety. It’s a brilliant spot for the after-work crowd looking for a proper meal.”
