“We had lunch at Mori: bulgogi beef and vege udon. Food was freshly prepared and quite flavourful. Server was engaged and helpful. We will be back to check out Mori’s other dishes next time.“

“This has become our new go-to sushi place for both dine in and take out. A great assortment of rolls, sashimi, entrees and more at a very reasonable price. My personal favourite is the spicy salmon roll (no cucumber) and we also love the tuna roll and tuna sashimi. Everything is incredibly high quality and prepared with care. We have also enjoyed the beef teriyaki, edamame, miso soup and some specialty rolls. Friendly service! I definitely recommend.“

“Quiet, intimate restaurant with delicious and plentiful food. Service was great! We will most definitely be back!!“

“Sushi Ya is my favorite sushi restaurant by far. The sashimi bento box is fresh and tastes amazing. The service from this family run restaurant makes you feel like you're home. It is warm, welcoming and delicious!“

“I had such a great experience at Koya! The vibe is super chill and welcoming, and the staff were really friendly and helpful without being over the top.

The food was honestly amazing—everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I tried the udon and it was probably the best I’ve ever had. The broth was rich and comforting, and the noodles had that perfect chew. The sushi was also on point—super fresh and nicely presented without being fussy.

It’s clear they really care about quality here, but it doesn’t feel pretentious at all. Just good food, good atmosphere, and good service. Definitely a spot I’d go back to, whether for a casual night out or a little treat-yourself moment. Highly recommend!“

“Eat in or take out, this sushi is always fresh and delicious and the service is always great. I'm so happy to have such a high quality sushi place so close to home.
Anywhere that serves really good food in London will take thirty minutes or more. This isn't fast food. It is made with care and heart. Thank you for your amazing restaurant“

“A few days ago, I visited this restaurant for lunch. I ordered sushi and sashimi, and everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. While I’ve often heard complaints about service elsewhere, the servers here were genuinely friendly and greeted us with warm smiles. At the table next to us, a young child wasn’t eating anything, so the server even brought the child a complimentary mochi, which is such a thoughtful action. I’ve been to many sushi restaurants, but I rarely see service like this. I was truly touched by how they cared for their guests, and I’m grateful to have a place like this in our neighborhood.“

“Ordered today but have been a few times, always the most DEVINE food, authentic and sweet folk. I got their beef Gyoza ramen today and it came piping hot. Amazing presentation even in delivery, one mouthfull and you're in heaven. Always love their food and 11/10 reccomend to anyone in need of something yummy!!(Also if you're feeling sick and need something to sooth your throat, their soy sauce base ramen does the TRICK!!!)
Thank you guys so much at Tanakaya for doing what you do and making such amazing dishes!!“

“Best sushi and service in London! We ordered a variety of sushi, as well as the beef udon which was delicious. We ate in the restaurant at the little bar set up, and the worker brought our food over for us, and set up a spot with everything we would need. So sweet! We will only be coming here from now on!“

“I've been enjoying the culinary delights at this grill place for three days straight, savoring their perfectly grilled meats with impeccable flavors. The portions are generous, offering an authentic and delightful experience. The teriyaki beef and shrimp steamed rice are absolute favorites, and the mixed vegetables add a refreshing touch, making it the best spot in white oak food court.“

Each bite is filled with rich flavors and textures, from the tender fish to the soft rice, all harmoniously balanced with vegetables and sauce. i will try other next “

Thank you for your consistency and warm smiles each visit!

“We have been pleased with Mikado's food over the last few years. Sashimi is fresh, sushi rolls are well prepared, tempura is good, and we like their recent additions to the menu. BUT, Mikado please keep your Skip, DoorDash, and Uber Eats menus up-to-date. None of Mikado's new menu items are available on Skip/DoorDash/Uber.“

“So happy we found this place!! The sushi menu is smaller than most AYCE places, but that’s understandable for the menu offering the bbq.
THE BEST SALMON SASHIMI I HAVE EVER HAD!!!
I wished we had tried more of the menu, but we could not stop eating sashimi, pork belly and marinated brisket!!
Already planning the next visit“

“What a slay. Brought the whole fam and there was something for everyone! Kids meals were really good and the bubble tea was the big hit! They’re only 3$ during the summer!! Mango and brown sugar are the best bubble tea flavors!! Everyone else got the bento boxes, gyoza, fried tempura yams, ramen soup, noodlefull bowls and yakisoba.“
