The best restaurants serving Japanese food in England

This place is overpriced and dated. The decor is not good - feels like you’re in a storeroom. The food is poor - awful, bland sushi. Terrible tastleless chicken udon - very unpleasant. Ridiculously priced drinks! Don’t go. It’s a gimmic place (interactive tables - which are fun for children) but the food is an absolute rip off.

Went to the sister restaurant Rai and had a lovely dinner there hence keen to try Hot Stone. Ordered a mixed grill of seafood and waygu steaks. The service was friendly although spotty at times. We were keen on trying the stone grill. Whilst the concept was good - grilling your own food on the stone, the execution was not. Oil and smoke from the waygu splattered all over the place and got on your hair, clothing, bag, tables and chair - that explained why the chair felt grubby. It could not go anywhere so it just choked me and my dining partner. When we finally finished our meal and thought we had a reprieve, the table next to us got theirs and the whole mess started again. The waygu flavour and all was fine, but after our first round, i felt covered in specs of oil. I would not go back again because I want to have a meal where you should be able to savour waygu flavours and the subtle sushi dishes, not eat quickly to get everything off the grill and stop the smoke and oil. Good idea but bad execution unfortunately.

The food was delicious if a bit small for the price. The tuna was exquisite as was the beef. The service was, however, inattentive and slow.

Could have helped us out a lot more with the kids, cocktail was really mediocre, seating outside only needed a little bit of attention to prevent a draft in the middle of winter, didn't really feel looked after - unfortunately all of these things let down what may have been quite nice food/time.

I visited a Japanese restaurant without doing any research. So far, I've had sushi and ramen, and they were all delicious. The chef seems to be from Hong Kong.

Favourite Japanese restaurant in London!

Sad to see Issho has closed. This place was a gem in Leeds, blending modern with traditional Japanese cuisine. Each visit was a culinary adventure, from sushi to unique dishes. Although sometimes service could be hit or miss, the overall experience was memorable. It'll be missed for its innovation and atmosphere.

El mejor ramen que he probado. Tenía el Tonkotsu Ramen y el caldo era absolutamente increíble. Estaba en una pausa para comer fuera del trabajo, así que aprecio lo rápido que llegó. El servicio también fue fantástico. Volveré muy pronto (Esta opinión era para la sucursal de Westfield London, pero eso no está en Trip Advisor que puedo ver)

Amazing night out with friends. Food was beautiful and staff are fantastic. Ciara was a fab host and attended our every need, brilliant sense of humour and made us feel so welcome. Can't wait to return

**UPDATE - Sadly now closed!** Incredible experience! Wonderful service, absolutely amazing food, excellent quality drinks. We went for the bottomless summer menu, tried all the vegetarian dishes which were all outstanding and amazing value. The staff were really attentive and warm. Best Japanese food we’ve had outside of Japan! Made our wedding anniversary extremely special and we can’t wait to visit again with friends. Thank you Sushido!

We are deeply grateful for your kind assistance on NYE when we were unable to order from you on Deliveroo. You were SO kind and obliging! And, of course, as usual the food was phenomenal: delicious sashimi, sushi and tempura. Thank you again and a very Happy New Year to all at the restaurant.

Lovely service from Denis and Viky. Very welcoming and friendly staff, food was great too but we were extremely pleased with the service. Will definitely be coming again soon!

Great service today, Suraiyya was very helpful and patient and greeted us with a smile. Food was yummy too. Thank you very much!

Avoid, was a total shambles from start to finish. Cold restaurant, wrong dishes or forgotten, unwell afterwards for days. Now also awarded a one star hygiene rating. Urgh and this explains why. Management and staff just fobbed off our complaints.

15 of enjoyed a fantastic spicy lunch, sharing a wide selection of "small dishes" before our main course. Everyone was very happy with their meal. I seem to have the highest tolerance level for spice and the Firecracker chicken did not disappoint. It is a little sweet and you can pick out some of the chilli slices if you wish. Other members of our party recommended the dishes they tried. The food is not kept hot under heat lamps but it is served as soon as it is ready. With refillable green tea, it was excellent value. No one had room for a dessert. The staff were really friendly and helpful.
