Tomoe in City of London, Westminster

This is absolutely the best restaurant in London. Food is excellent every single time we eat here, portions are generous and service is great. Reservations are recommended as this restaurant is always busy.

Quite possibly the best sushi in town!

Whenever we go it’s amazing experience, service, food , atmosphere. One favourite restaurant in London . The best japanese restaurant in UK.

Very satisfied for food, service and atmosphere! We visited here for our anniversary and really happy we decided to come here! Price isn't cheap but really worth to pay and you can experience authentic Japanese food.

Nice Korean place, they do very nice sushi and sashimi

Authentic Japanese Food. The best Japanese food in London. Highly recommended. 5 stars as always.

Lovely coincidence and find. We were around the area and hungry for some good authentic Japanese food and we were pleasantly surprised. Everything about the food and ambience brought me right back to Tokyo.

Went to Tomoe in Putney for lunch on a Saturday. It was almost full but food came quite fast. We had oyster tempura, beef rice and salmon set. All tasted really great. Staff were attentive without being overbearing. It's not cheap - it's not pretending to be - but worth it now and again. Edit: went yesterday and still very good....

I honestly don't know why people have rated this restaurant less than 5 stars. The food, star and atmosphere is just a full 5 stars. It's authentic and incredibly unique. It is truly a privilege to be able to eat here. Thank you for your outstanding food and service.

Highly recommend it, the food is amazing and the staff is super friendly. Best sushi we have had in London.

By far the best Japanese restaurant I have had in Putney. I love the teriyaki chicken, the vegetable tempura maki and the miso soup. The matcha green tea ice cream is special. I have been to Japan and this restaurant is authentic.

Small and genuine sushi restaurant - generous servings of super fresh fish in the sushi - best in SW London and beyond.

Wonderful food and service, the staff are very friendly and helpful, highly recommended, wonderful place

Best Japanese restaurant in London. Family owned atmosphere, the staff is very friendly. It feels like you’re in Japan!

Great authentic Japanese cuisine in Putney! We love everything we ever tried and it’s all so delicious.

Don't bother looking elsewhere if you want sushi or Japanese. Sushi chef is top class and ran a Michelin resturaunt in Mayfair. It's best in Putney, possibly SW. Service is amazing. Love it. Anyone I bring here is blown away.

Tomoe is an absolute delight of a boutique small restaurant, with wonderful genuine Japanese cuisine, yet great affordable prices! Family-run-business, super friendly staff, delicious food, and a great variety of dishes, from the very traditional sushi and sashimi, a la carte and set menus, to the teriaki skewers, tempuras, and other grilled dishes, with many options for vegetarians too! Must book in advance though, as a very popular restaurant like this gets always fully booked, and turning up and trying your luck may not be the best experience! If you wish to practice your Japanese, you can definitely speak with the staff, it is like being in a little Japan, in London! ^_^

A really authentic Japanese restaurant where everything is prepared and served with care. Delicious flavours and well priced.

Absolutely fantastic in every conceivable possible category. Service always friendly - but most importantly the food is sublime. Extremely authentic and fresh produce and the quality of fish served is superb. Might possibly be my favourite restaurant in London. Can always count on Tomoe for a top flight relaxed meal. Can’t recommend enough.

We had dinner here last night and it was perfect! The restaurant inside is beautiful and calming, the staff are welcoming and friendly and the food was amazing. Sarah was our waitress and she was amazing - friendly, happy and professional. The sushi was the best sushi I’ve ever eaten and you can tell the food is made with love. Can’t wait to come back!

The food was exceptional, with fresh and tasty sashimi that exceeded my expectations. We sat outside and enjoyed the lovely sunshine while dining. The ambiance was perfect, combining great food with a pleasant outdoor setting. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for quality Japanese cuisine!

Incredible menu and quality of fish. A truly authentic experience where quality meets quantity. Having been around the world and ate a lot of sushi in my life, I can definitely recommend this place. The food is 10/10. Service 10/10. Pictures are attached.

Nowhere else comes close to the value for money on quality food and fantastic restaurant experience. The Asahi on draught is also the best I've had in London. Highly recommend - 5 stars isn't enough.

I ordered the tempura set for lunch. The vegetable tempura was delicious, but the shrimp tasted slightly off. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the miso soup and tsukemono.

Excellent Japanese food in super nice friendly local venue. Quality of food up there for me with some of the best central London venues. The negritoro starter will live long in the memory!

Tomoe has been around for some time but this was my first visit. Don't know why it took so long to go there but will definitely be back as the food was delicious, can't fault any of the dishes my friends and I chose (I can recommend the breaded oysters, prawn tempura, baked aubergine and the sushi and sashimi platters) . The decor and lighting is the only thing that needs some attention.

Incredible, authentic Japanese sushi. I've been to Japan, and this is as close as you can get. Highly recommend. It's pricey, but you get what you pay for.

This is a little gem of a place - my go to Japanese restaurant when I was living in the area. The interior is nothing to brag about but the food is genuinely wonderful and not expensive when compared to other restaurants for the same quality. Definitely recommend.

Very good local Japanese restaurant. Very traditional

Authentic Japanese cuisine ! Definitely it is the best one in Putney

Excellent food and service, the restaurant is cute and the staff is attentive and polite. Prices are proportioned and they have good deals.

Our go to place. If you want an authentic Japanese restaurant then this is your place. The food is sublime and the service is astounding. Very homey atmosphere, feels like I'm in Japan. The best sushi I've had in the UK.

The best sushi and fried oysters I have ever had in London. A booking is essential on the weekend it gets busy!

Absolutely delicious. Had a lunch set to take away and it was delicious, very generous in portion and the staff were really personable and helpful. Also very quick! Looking forward to going back again!

An amazing hidden gem in the heart of Putney. This is my 4th time I am dinning at this place and it has always been a brilliant experience. The quality of the product is fantastic, the service is very friendly and the price is super competitive. I highly recommend this Japanese restauran.

Refreshing my review as this is 10 months old and I have visited several times and continue to be impressed. Original review: Absolutely brilliant Japanese. Understated with the focus very much on the very high quality food.

Authentic, reliable food and service. Great hojicha.

Small Japanese restaurant in the centre of Putney. The food is really excellent, fresh and genuine; I also enjoyed the sake sampler. Service was cordial and efficient. The dining room is essential though welcoming, with a direct view on the cooking area. Having few tables and limited opening hours, it is important to reserve in advance. The bill for the three of us was £108. A neighbourhood place to keep in mind for the future.

Very authentic Japanese restaurant in Clapham. A hidden gem. Food was delicious. Took me back to Japan in minutes. Waiters and cheff are Japanese. Excellent food. Excellent service. Highly recommended. Thank you for your help! ! Thank you again~ Maria

The best restaurant in London. No other explanation needed.

The food was to die for they have amazing little lunch menu the staff are really friendly I highly recommend poping by make sure you have a reservation

It’s so good! I am just too selfish to recommend Tomoe to others.

Huge menu selection, including loads of options for vegetarians. Really lovely staff and quick service. The food was amazing, would really recommend it!

Lovely and delicious in every way...highlights were the tempura sushi, black sesame ice-cream and the seaweed salad.

Tasty & authentic Japanese food!

Authentic little Japanese restaurant with speedy service (we went on a Friday at lunchtime). Highly recommend the negi toro roll.

We lived in Putney for several years and heard a few positive feedbacks from friends about Tomoe; however, did not have much opportunity until last month. I had a chance to pop in for lunch; the restaurant was full; however, I asked whether I could sit at the bar on the right-hand side next to the entrance; the staff are always very accommodating (I went back again for precisely the same dishes – Prawn Tempura Bento. It was as lovely as the first experience; the staff are very accommodating again because I was a bit late for their lunch service. The quality of the food stands out, and the ambience makes me wonder whether it would be the same in Japan (one of the countries I wish to visit). Therefore, I would encourage everyone to try Tomoe if anyone lives near here. I enjoy mine a lot and will go back for more soon. Just noticed their opening hours are quite limited. Check before you visit. Thanks, Tomoe, for making a simple lunch very enjoyable.

The best Japanese in Wandsworth. Great atmosphere and best quality ingredients.

The most brilliant meal- lovely people and delicious food. Can’t wait to come back.

Went with my friend tonight and the food we had was incredible! Really authentic and service was also great. Will visit again sometime in the future. :)

Food here is excellent, some of best sushi available in London. Only negative was that we had to wait over 20 minutes for our table even though we had booked.

This is a hidden gem of Putney. Food is great, same as waitresses. We love it every time we visit... Always the same great quality of meals and service. Must try when you're around!!

This is best Japanese restaurant in south west london. As myself Japanese, I highly recommend here as authentic Japanese restaurant. Sushi chef is real one. All dishes nice but I particularly like Tekka Maki 鉄火巻 tuna roll. They use lots of tuna than rice. I personally called Over flow tuna roll. Delicious. Staff also kind and well trained. They have menu with some picture and easy to order too. Children friendly.

Best Japanese food I’ve ever had. Great quality, freshest fish. Chef was amazing, service was really good. The prices can be a bit expensive but the portions and food quality are incredible. I would eat here everyday if I could.

Serving genuine Japanese food with great quality. Lovely dinner with a quiet environment. Will definitely visit again.

One of the best sushis I’ve ever had. Quality was incredible and the pieces were big and full of fish. 💯

What a treasure of a place, and lovely food find. All backed by smiles, courtesy and AMAZING food. Thank you for my lunch, its was awesome 😊

Didn't have the weather for alfresco dining, but the food is amazing... Best sushi I know in London.

Most authentic and delicious sushi in london for a much cheaper price than the central places! Have been going for the last 8 years and the quality has not wavered. The chef is a total legend and the restaurant has a very cosy and un-intimidating vibe! Cannot stress enough how much I recommend!!

A great favourite for my son and me. Sitting at the sushi bar watching the Master at work is always fascinating.

Authentic japanese food in a compact space

best sushi i’ve had in london so far 🥹

We are local and have been wanting to try this place for ages - we finally made it for a birthday celebration and it didn’t disappoint. Quality and taste of the food is excellent, we had a selection of sushi plus some house kimchi which was so fresh. £120 for 3 people including tip and a drink each. There are also affordable sushi sets/platters for sharing. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. They even brought a thoughtful dessert (green tea ice cream) with a candle for the birthday girl.

Very fresh fish and friendly service. Everything is amazing. Worth the trip even from the other side of London!

An excellent restaurant that offers some of the best sushi in town. The restaurant is located in a convenient location and has a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. The service is excellent, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. The sushi is fresh, and the quality of the fish is outstanding. The sushi chefs are skilled and knowledgeable, and they create a wide range of sushi rolls and sashimi that are both delicious and beautifully presented. The menu at Tomoe is extensive, with a range of options to suit all tastes and preferences. In addition to sushi and sashimi, the restaurant also offers a range of hot dishes and appetizers that are equally delicious and well-prepared. The only reason I didn't give Tomoe Sushi a 5-star rating is that the prices can be a bit steep. However, given the quality of the food and service, I believe that the prices are justified.

Went for the first time and so happy I did! A true gem with freshly cut sushi behind the counter and a very affordable price for the quality. Ended up spending £30 per person with a house sake included for dinner with plenty of sushi, miso aubergine and tempura.

So far the best Japanese restaurant I have been to in London.

Amazing authentic sushi, great quality - highly recommended! This place uses superb high quality ingredients, which really sets it apart from the generic chains. The service is attentive and friendly and there's a great range of choice.

Just had a wonderful dinner here and know I won't stop going on about it for weeks! Beautiful food and excellent service. The specials and the sushi plate and the house sake and black sesame ice cream. Best meal I've had in ages.

Always been amazing! Shame can't always get a table! :)

BEST restaurant in Putney, friendly service, amazing food. Need to book as it gets busy. Totally recommend.

The price is quite expensive but the quality of food is excellent and very traditional Japanese flavour . Highly recommend this restaurant.

Hidden family run gem, better than most more expensive places in London - everything is always super fresh and tasty, and they are always accommodating to my gluten free partner! Highly recommend. We normally get the california roll which is to die for, the prawn tempura roll, the salmon avocado roll and the kaiso salad. But the other day we tried the special prawn ceviche and let me tell you, it was absolutely worth it!

Cozy, authentic, and delicious authentic sushi (non-fusion).

Scores on the doors (food hygiene) of 3. Even mcdonalds manages a 5.

Our favourite in Putney, we’ve been coming regularly since it opened nearly a decade ago. Everything here has always been authentic, a rare achievement for such a long period. The bentos and set lunches are also great value. The exception is that one of us finds the tempura batter differs with each change of chef; otherwise, the wonderful sushi master who runs this reliable place also ensures consistency in the kitchen. He also insists on Japanese wait and cook staff. Even after all this time, we still can hardly believe our good fortune in having a truly Japanese restaurant so local to us.

A wonderful restaurant, delicious Japanese food and friendly staff. I’ve been to Tomoe many times, it is always incredible

Very good sake sampler , black cod , sashimi …..

Top quality. Highly recommended! As authentic as you can get to a small Japanese restaurant. Incredibly tasty food. Highly recommended!

Not sure how I haven't heard of this spot - best Japanese in London.

The best of Japanese restaurants in London! Alomst menu are great than Japanese. Highly recommend

The sushi and shashimi was of excellent quality and so delicious!

Fantastic authentic Japanese food. The menu is fabulous, you will want to come back a million times to try out the many different dishes on offer. The sushi was one of the best I've ever had. The ambiance is relaxed and unassuming. Many Japanese customers were there when we visited, which of course speaks to the quality of the place as well. Highly recommended!

5/5. The best Japanese restaurant in SW London IMO. You can always tell by the ginger and wasabi with Japanese restaurants. Everything is super fresh, the service is rapid and super friendly. If you’re looking for authentic Japanese in southwest London then this is the place to go to.

It has a polite manager there but the women waiters are terrible. A waiter argued with my husband for no reason and she treated us like she hates us. We ate our meal very fastly and run away. Found another place to continue our dinner. What good is it if you cook the best food in the world.

Delicious food, great service Sake taster highly recommended as an introduction to traditional Japanese drink

Excellent, incredibly good quality fish. Great value, good portion sizes. Service was very friendly, booking online would be a bonus, but I appreciate the charm of having no online presence.

Excellent Japanese restaurant, top notch quality. It is not cheap but worth. Best sushi outside of Japan. They do not do deliveries, and have to call to book in advance.

Amazing service, incredible sushi and sashimi. Would definitely go back

Some of the best sushi I've never tasted in London. This is really a hidden gem. There's a reason they are usually fully booked!

Nice place with Japanese staff. Very genuine Japanese food and service.

This is a little gem we used to go to about 5 years ago. Went for dinner after a long time finally on Saturday night and sat on the bar. Was a wonderful experience to see the passion and the hard work of the sushi chef in front of us as well as a very hard working and charming team. The food was the best Japanese food that we had in London. Sushi was delicious and fresh, everything was beautifully presented and flavours were authentic and spot on. ありがとうございます！

The most delicious Japanese restaurant in all London! We had 2 salads, miso soup and a sushi box. The quality of the food is the same as you would have in Japan. The taste, flavours and smoothness is unbelievable. I highly recommend any food lovers to come and try this amazing find in the heart of Putney. I will be back for more.

Amazing sushi freshly prepared by an expert chef. Waitresses are so friendly too! 🍱☺️

Found this highly-rated restaurant in Putney. It’s an authentic Japanese restaurant with lots of options. I had Niku Udon and was so satisfied. They have a wide Japanese tea selection too.

Found this place randomly and spontaneously decided to book and come for a quick dinner. We sat at the bar which was cool and atmospheric. Food was all good and came quickly which was a place. Nice artistic interior and its awesome watching the chefs work in front of you at the bar.

Great place, food and service - highly recommend!
