The best restaurants serving Japanese food in South East

Been eating Kokoro for over 10 years, and it remains a reliable comfort food after all these years. Would recommend half chilli chicken and half katsu chicken + curry sauce on the side. Makes for a wonderful blend of textures with a juicy and perfectly spicy dish that you can keep topping up the curry sauce in

Great food and great service 👍🏼

Had lunch here whilst visiting a craft market. The quality of food was reasonable. They had enough cooks but didn't seem to have enough serving staff. My main issue was when I paid I was shown an ecopy of the receipt on a small PDA type device (hard to see properly) and only received my receipt by email. Once I had a proper look at it I'd been overcharged for two dishes when I only had one. I complained to head office from the email on the receipt and they did correct it a couple of days later.

I usually have a 'you have to try everything twice rule'. Unfortunately, I will not be applying this here. This was the first and only time I would come here. Firstly, we had the, all you can eat, so the menu was different (maybe the a la carte is better). I enjoyed the process of scanning the QR and selecting 6 hot dishes and 6 sushi dishes every 15 minutes for your 90-minute duration. The seaweed was the chewiest I've been served, the children peeled it off. The hot dishes were better, but the kimchi rice was stodgy and lacked any flavour. The sashimi was also low quality cuts. If the food is poor at a restaurant, it doesn't really matter about the other notable items. However, in this case, it was also incredibly tired. There was stock, extra chairs, and tables piled on the restaurant floor. The toliets were no better. There were sections of units missing and it had exposed pipework. As you can see in the video, there were also small flies that were there the entire time, even after removing a few. Overall, it wasn't worth the £100+ bill for two dry adults, one child and a baby.

Love the all you can eat sushi option - fabulous food. The staff are friendly and service is quick.

Came here with some European counterparts, after going Shooting nearby, followed by a work meeting. We wanted a quick bite to eat, prior to going to watch a 5.50 pm showing of ‘Nosferatu’ at the Odeon. Venue is light and has a fun feel, due to the colour scheme and conveyor belt mechanism whizzing a variety of dishes between booths and seats. All staff were pleasant and helpful - the hot food we all ordered was cooked well - the cod was very good - but just on a personal level/preference, it wasn’t for me, as I’m not into sweeter tasting savoury food - that’s merely a personal thing. I actually preferred a couple of the Sushi dishes from the conveyor belt. We all had an enjoyable time though, all in all.

Pizza delgada de buena contextura y agradable sabor. Bien atendido y rápido. Precios standard. Lugar acogedor.

Avoid at all costs! I ate the vegetarian noodles and prawn katsu) which were heated up in a microwave. Massive red flag, I should have known better. felt sick within minutes, had diarrhoea within 2 hours. Should be reported for healthy and safety

Unfortunately had a really poor experience here. Staff weren’t friendly whatsoever, you get charged more by approximately £1 per item for eating in?? Despite not being given any different service whatsoever than if you were to take it away? School dinner type trays, take-away unnecessary plastic packing. You have to pay extra for soy sauce and wasabi…dirty tables, seats all stained with soy sauce, toilets dirty. Certainly won’t be returning here nor any other Wasabi for that matter.

The new cafe round the corner was fully booked (Saturday lunchtime) so we tried here - but wish we hadn't. Ordered two Welsh rarebits, paid and sat a table. After a while someone came over and said they only had one left so we changed the second to a cheese and ham toastie. After an eternity they finally came - the rarebit was flat and just tasted of melted cheese with a bit of ham - no flavour. You would think at Waitrose they would use decent ham but no, the ham in the toastie was just the thin, processed type. We left distinctly underwhelmed and won't go again.

Went in to pick up some desserts for a few days time as noticed before they have a long shelf life. Hardly any doryaki left but I took the last two. Went to pay to find they only take card payments, but they couldn't their card machines to work! Spent nearly 15 minutes waiting for them totry re-booting, trying contactless and pin options. Eventually looked at taking cash but they had no change. I didn't have the exact money so they tried asking me to buy less or more to fit to a note value! Eventually they found some change. Got my desserts home quickly as I couldn't after being out of the fridge longer than planned, only to find these were previously frozen and have to be used within 4 days of being defrosted. No indication of when defrosted so I cannot use them in a few days as planned. Use by date is only for their use if the item remaina frozen - not sure it is ok to sell pre-packaged food to customers without a use by date? Wasted my time and money; today was enough to put me off going back.

Vine aquí para cenar después de la iglesia con los otros adultos jóvenes de la iglesia. Sería útil que el personal estuviera más informado sobre alergias porque mientras puedo comer cualquier cosa, una de las otras es sin gluten y por un momento parecía que no habría nada adecuado (pero finalmente se identificó algo en el menú que ella podría comer). Su desconocimiento de los componentes de artículos particulares tampoco me fue útil cuando intentaba elegir entre las personalizaciones disponibles para lo que quería pedir para mí.

We ordered the breakfast with freshly poached eggs leek and spinach based on an attractive photograph outside. What we got looked like a bowl of dishwasher water with leaves floating in it. The freshly poached eggs were like last nights hard boiled eggs and we didn’t find any leeks. It was edible but dreadful and nothing resembling the photograph. The place was empty and I now know why.

We were going to have a Leon's but having seen Chozen Noodle we ordered from them. I had the Red Thai curry with noodles which was very nice. Daughter had the chicken katsu curry which she said was ok.

Lovely food and very good atmosphere. They were very busy but wait times were not bad at all and they still provided excellent service, especially from Dawid, Karolina and illina!
