Eat Tokyo

I walked past here on my way to a pho place nearby and decided to come here instead. I used to live in Kitakyushu and I miss Tonkotsu ramen a lot. I've tried many Japanese places across Europe, but nowhere comes close. Until this - this place hands-down has the best Tonkotsu I've tried outside of Hakata. I ordered with a side of pan-fried gyoza and Asahi 0% - absolutely phenomenal. The menu is authentic, you can see the sashimi-grade fish sitting chilled and the chefs and their backgrounds and expertise are all profiled in the menus. The place was full and the atmosphere lively and they were very accommodating to solo diners, with space at the bar and high tables to eat from. 10/10, highly recommend. Will be back tonight! 😆😆

Great food and lovely service at Eat Tokyo Hammersmith! Everything was delicious, and a big thank you to Tina for her amazing service, funny, friendly, and super helpful. We’ll definitely be back!

We were in Tokyo in summer and honestly it felt exactly the same. It was very authentic, amazing service, and amazing food. Best dining experience i’ve had in Hammersmith or West London. And honestly the pricing was very reasonable for the quantity and exceptional quality and specialty of the food.

Overall good value for money and good, authentic Japanese food. Not necessarily served by Japanese, because the staff is from all over Asia, but most people don’t realise that and anyway it shouldn’t matter. The food quality was good, the atmosphere was good. We did not enjoy the quiet route table management service when we arrived, because we had to we were very sternly asked to wait outside and we weren’t able tomake reservations or come inside or wait inside and the service was quite rude. However, once we were inside, we had fantastic table service so I will still be going back.

Incredible food, extremely fresh, very high quality, and wonderfully priced. Always worth the wait!

This Japanese restaurant is located in London. The restaurant setup is simple. Menu selections are relatively wide. The standard of food preparation is good. Presentation is reasonable. Food portions are reasonable. Service is average. Waiting time for food once seated is reasonable. Waiting for a table in the restaurant will depends on the time of the day. Usually there is a queue during peak periods. Cleanliness is good. A clean public washroom is available within the restaurant. Prices are reasonable.

The food is always very fresh, the place is full of customers at any time, but the service is very fast and well-organized. The menu is very extensive, and there are special lunch offers. By ordering certain dishes, you get a complimentary miso soup. Tonight, the atmosphere was particularly relaxing, as the restaurant wasn’t too busy. Prices are reasonable, considering it’s in London in a fairly central area. The only downside is that the lady sometimes puts a bit of pressure on returning the menus. We’ll be back as always!

The most accurately Japanese TONKATSU I’ve tried in London! Me and my partner have been loyal customers at this Eat Tokyo spot for a couple months now and is safe to say that we always feel welcomed and treated like family by the staff! We appreciate how attentive and speedy the waiters are with our orders all the time! The portions are huge and very cheap for London, but most importantly, it is all so DELICIOUS! Give it a try, you won’t regret it!

Never see so many items in the menu. A lot of variety to choose from. Different kinds of sushi rolls, sashimi, sake and bento box. Prices are reasonable especially the early dinner specials. Staffs were friendly and make sure you go there when they open because the line can be long.

Hmm this is what we called comfort sushi in vancouver literally every block would sell this lol (+): - They use real matcha green tea (what consider me giving 3 stars) - At least the fish are 1-3 days fresh - The uni is not bad (-): - You have to pay for extra ginger? BRUHHHH you guys give ginger like a spoon for the boat sushi? Ginger should not be an extra if you eat sushi properly you need a ginger please - Self proclaimed to be "authentic" but use horseradish wasabi LOL - Match green tea so small and quite expensive - Paid £60 for comfort sushi? Quite ridiculous i would pay CAD30 in Vancouver for something like this lol Summary: The self-proclaimed authentic sushi is a convenient comfort sushi in my opinion. Just for your information I have eaten so much omakase and make sushi by myself that I am really aware what is good sushi. The sushi here is even more backwater than Canadian sushi lol. In my opinion, you should only come here for the cheap bento box for it to be worth it other than that pass it do not come here pretty sure there are better sushi in London that is more worth it. I hope this review can help you making better choice for you eating the right sushi in London. Cheers! Do no hesitate to ask question if you have. Anyway, this is not recommended for me.

This chef sure can cook. Wow. What a gem. Delicate, delicious, spicy - perfect. We had a range of dishes - sushi rolls, udon + tempura (to die for), Shumai and gyoza. Impossible to say which was most delicious. Wholeheartedly recommend.

Very good sushi. - spicy tuna is amazing, super hot and so good. - the fish is of great quality. - great service and general vibe Only down side is the queue, mitigate that by booking a table in advance.

For a restaurant chain, this place is good. I went for the lunch bento and there was too much food to eat, even being super hungry! I saw the special of the day after I ordered which would have been enough at £8.50 but ended up with the full price at £15. Salmon teriyaki, tuna and salmon sushi, shrimp and vegetables tempura, green salad, pickles, rice and miso soup. Great quality and freshness. Service was slightly lacklustre, but there was one friendly waitress. There's nothing fancy about it but if you have time for a decent sit down meal, you will find a big menu of Japanese cuisine at reasonable prices.

delicious and comes, in terms of usual Japanese cuisine cooking times, extremely quickly. The ambience seems to be authentic, not playing the usually tacky oriental-themed music with unnecessarily extravagantly dressed waiting staff. The pricing may be slightly expensive but nothing more than Wagamama or yo sushi, if not less than, yet the quality is so much higher than both the other restaurants. I was shocked to find out it was, in fact, a chain restaurant as the atmosphere seems in likeness to a family-run restaurant in the heart of Japan. One of the best restaurants I've been to ever! my only small complaints would be that there is limited table space and the dining area often feels cramped often leading to close proximity with other eaters. Not ideal for a date or intimate conversation either as the lighting can often be quite intense.

I noticed there are not a lot of authentic (and affordable) Japanese places outside Central London? Well, I'm lucky to have stumbled across Eat Tokyo. They have many locations and the closest one to my place is the Hammersmith location. All their bento boxes are superb even though the teriyaki chicken can be on the fatty side. I suggest any menu item containing their fresh sashimi (it literally melts in your mouth like butter), veggie/shrimp tempura (good batter) and anything teriyaki is solid. Sushi is good as well (I tried one of their fancy rolls). Their mapo tofu is also great value for the amount you get. Easily one of my favorite takeaway places!

First I'll start by saying that I have been a patron of Eat Tokyo for over 8 years. Firstly discovered the branch near Trafalgar Sq, which later moved, and lately at Hammersmith since I live in Fulham. On this particular occasion I am compelled to give one star because of the rude and arrogant service we received. I came in with a dear friend of mine and we were talking for a few minutes before ordering since we hadn't seen each other in over a year. In a timeframe of less than 5 minutes we were asked 4 times if we were ready to order, which I instantly thought was odd, rushed and quite rude. On the third time we were warned that there was a 1hr 30 limit for the table so you should order now. Mind you, this was on a not very busy Monday night. Overall the service was extremely rude and inattentive. We had to ask several times for water, it really was a hot day. Then we waited ages for the cheque at the end. Overall the staff were inattentive when we needed them and on us when it suited them. At the end the waitress said 'can we have the table back now please?' 'Gladly!!' we replied. When the bill came out with a discretionary service charge we crossed it out, paid the bill and left. Upon leaving there were still at least 3 empty tables. Guess they didn't need them after all. Suffice to say I will think twice about eating at Eat Tokyo. We either ended up with bad staff or they have gone downhill since I was last there. Service means everything in this industry and on this occasion it was shockingly bad. Thankfully the great company made up for the incredibly poor restaurant experience. I shan't be introducing new people to this place until I can be sure their service is back up to standard. Anyone visiting, please be warned if good, courteous service is of importance to you.

This place looked really great from the yelp photos so I sent a band here and the crew ordered food here. Everyone had a tasty meal but the menu for this place was SO HARD to find. We had to look at the Notting Hill menu from Zomato. I ordered half katsu jyu (oh man the egg was fab) along with the kobbacha karroke which is Japanese pumpkin croquette. I had to take stars away because the food took almost over an hour and 30 min to get! I called the order in advance and was told it'd be ready in 30 min, I gave them a 15 minute buffer but when our person came to pick up the order it had seemed that they had forgotten all about it! They scrambled to get everything together but didn't offer any discounts or anything for the additional wait. Most people didn't get to eat the food until 3-4 hours later but it was still good (we kept it in the fridge)..although we did have 1 stomach incident from maybe the chicken skewers that were left out too long. I would come here and eat in, but don't our take away on a Friday/Saturday.

Surely the best Japanese restaurant I've ever had in London~ The sashimi set is just so good and the age-tofu is quite tasty!

I am a regular customer of this branch. A very good option to dine out on a Friday night without going all the way to Central London. The manager there is a star, she is very helpful and can tell she's a real hands-on person. However, the queueing situation can be a bit out of control on a busy evening (e.g: a lot people waiting outside, some impatient ones just walk inside to ask for table and ignoring the queue, some people with reservations try to get in...etc). And I guess the other staff are not allowed to sort the it out. Therefore it's left to the manager to decide what to do. She's often very busy working on the floor and kitchen, she has little time to sort the queue out. I just guess she can let her staff to help her out more and direct them what to do instead of doing things by herself. Then she can sort the queue out. Food wise, for that price, it is very good value. Each branch tends to have a slightly different menu. Bento is always a safe choice. I like Salmon Yama and Saki Mussels as side dishes. Portion is big!

Always see this restaurant when passed by Kings Road but never have an urge to try until today really feel like having some Japanese They have a verity of selections in their menu .Very reasonable price. £7.50 for Katsu don. £8 for spider roll. Most sushi roll are below £10. Their chef is old Japanese sushi chef which now a days very hard to find in most Japanese restaurant. If you look at their nigiri sushi you know that's is made by a very good sushi chef. The shape of the nigiri is like a fan. Fish and rice tiedly hand press together. It will not fall apart when u hold them up with chopstick or deep it into soya sauce by side way. Katsu don portion is really big but the meat is rather dry and blend. Will avoid this next time.

Amazing authentic sushi and Japanese food. I reccomend Chicken & Salmon teriyaki bento. There is enough food in this dish for two people and even a glutton would have trouble finishing this. My favourite roll is the prawn tempura roll but I also like the california and alaska rolls. I normally take away and the service in that respect is good. I can understand the comments regarding the eat in service and I can only assume these incidents hapoen when the place is busy.

Japanese food as it should be. This place never fails to fulfill my craving for fresh and tasty Japanese food. The sashimi bento box hits the spot just right! Great service and simple decor makes this hidden gem in the midst of Hammersmith Kings Street a fantastic find....

I hace tried their food several times and time and time again I find it delicious. The place is always busy but I never had to wait. The portions are big in comparison to other Japanese restaurants and the prices are very reasonable (specially if you go for the Bento Box on Katsu deals). Don't be put off by the look of the nearby shops and restaurants!

We went to Eat Tokyo for lunch, and it was as solid as expected. We ordered a plate of rolls to share as a starter, then kyudon and teriyaki bento as mains. I particularly liked the rolls -- perfectly flavoured with still-warm rice unlike the ready-made, cold ones. My kyudon was good and served in healthy portions as well. Ambience is simple and subdued -- much like the one close to Leicester Square. Good for reasonably posh business meals, but probably not your highest class one. Finally, service was amazing. I had a large suitcase with me as I was due to go to the airport right after, and the lady was very understanding and helpful in carrying it in and out of the store with me. Overall, a solid Japanese experience in the heart of Hammersmith!

Was hoping for a really nice experience as this restaurant is close to the hotel. The menu had the bare minimum for fish and the roll selection was small. The fish was fresh but the nigiri was small compared to what I get in The States. They did stock Kirin Ichiban which was a plus. Price was what you expect at a sushi restaurant without a conveyor belt...

The restaurant was half empty yet I had to wait at The door for 5 minutes before someone bother to seat me. When they finally came the told me they didn't have any spare tables because I was only one person. Horrible service won't be going back

Some of the best Japanese food I have found in London! Fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back!

Food and prices were good. However, the rude staff really ruined our experience. They even had a MANDATORY service charge which i think is illegal and told us we cant leave unless we pay it. I explained that the service charge is for when someone is satisfied with the service and we were not. They werent having it. VERY rude staff. We also had to keep asking for tap water as they didnt give us a jug.In the end they just ignored us and never gave us any more.I believe they are only interested in money and getting people in and out as quick as possible.I think i wil only be having a take away from there.

Eat Tokyo shouldn't be a strange name to most Londoners, a Japanese chain of restaurants serving traditional Japanese food at a very affordable price. The Hammersmith branch can be fairly quiet at lunch hours due to the hot competitions from the likes of Feng Sushi & Wasabi nearby. Try the Bento box with a choice from between grilled items, sushi and tempura. For a more extravagant affair, the sushi selection sharing platter aka sushi boat offers wide ranges of sashimi such as scallop, sea bass and yellow tail as well as classics such as tuna and salmon. Hot dishes such as teriyaki chicken with rice and Japanese curry pork Katsu are also solid. Overall a decent addition to Hammersmith, not the highest quality, but definitely value for the money you are paying.

They do really amazing take aways lunch boxes for £5. Far better than anything you'd get at Wasabi, and cheaper too.

I've been here a couple of times and I always had a great time. Not sure I can define it as the best in London but for sure you won't be disappointed.

We dropped in without a reservation and they made room for us at the bar. The picture menu was a bit like a phone book and we found lots of vegetarian options. We had aubergine dengaku (delicious), teriyaki tofu (almost as delicious), teriyaki mushrooms (similar and delicious), vegetable tempura (pretty good), avocado rolls (typical but good), and edamame (typical). The staff was super busy as might be expected on a Friday night, but very nice and unnecessarily apologetic about the wait. This was the best meal of a week dining out across London. Plus the price was very reasonable, 35 GBP including a beer.

Great Japanese food in Hammersmith. So much better than Wagamama or Wasabi. Surprised by the bad reviews, been here several times and enjoyed every visit.

Amazing service, Amazing food, Amazing portion sizes ! MISO happy to have found this place

Hammersimth branch is terrible as there is no customer services at all. It is a horrible experience. You are lucky if you are not being shouted. Strongly recommend to make a reservation before you go as you will be asked to wait for lots of "5 mins" in the rain!!!!!!! They also urged us to order with no menu explanation. I fully understood there are so many customers at that moment. However, is the mean attitude like a "tradition" that "eat Tokyo" treats every customer??!!! The only one star is given for the reasonable food price without considering the extremely bad environment and services. Never come back again and will tell all my friends do not come to this branch.
