"Japanese Canteen, Bethnal Green. Situated in Paradise Row in one of the old railway arches, Japanese Canteen is a casual restaurant that serves delicious noodle and rice dishes. The decoration is not what you expect from a Japanese restaurant, but is definitely typical of East London with an industrial and minimal look."

Great value! A family of 5 under £100 for dinner! We had two pints and a half and three soft drinks, a starter each and 5 main dishes. Depending on a chef, portion sizes and quality of dishes change. Sometime serving portion is smaller than usual! l hope the quality and portion of each dishes remain the same. Also, depending on a day, there is a long wait! Today was a good day with good portions and no long wait. For the hit and miss service and portion, I’ll give 4 stars, but for value, I’ll give 5!

Excellent food - great prices and nice atmosphere. When we were looking for a place to eat late in the evening after a long day of continuous meetings we ended up here due to the fact they could accommodate 3 people at that time without waiting. The food is served quickly but freshly prepared and tastes very nice. Really enjoyed our time here and had a good dinner.

Visit: 30 January 2020 I enjoy coming here because the food is tasty, portions are filling and its good value for money. The interior is as the name suggests, canteen style. Tables for 2 and 4 close together so they almost resemble another well know noodle chain beginning with W. Staff are pretty efficient, and in all my visits interaction has been fairly minimal but they've always been friendly and pleasant. The menu is KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) heavy but don't think it'll burn your mouth off. There's lots of spice to the spicy dishes but not a great deal of heat. Good for most, not so good if you have an asbestos mouth, but there's chilli oil on every table and sriracha if you're desperate (I find it as hot as ketchup) The bento boxes are excellent value for money and quite filling. In this visit I had the chicken katsu curry, it was fantastically tasty. Highly recommend going, even if its just for wings before you head next door to drink. I should point out that this venue does not accept cash.

Yummy and well priced food and a casual and quiet setting. Love that they have Asahi on tap ! Korean fried tofu was to die for and my companions said they live for the Korean friend chicken ..!

Decent prices, and good quantities. I do not agree with 4 stars reviews, this place deserves 5 stars, according to the location and prices… one of our favorite places in the area 😉

Thoroughly beat our expectations of a cheap and cheerful meal. Staff were excellent, and all of the food packed flavour. Teriyaki may have been a touch sweet, but it was all lovely.

Nice Katsu Curry. My friend had korean fried chicken which she loved! The difference I found was the chicken breast pieces are cut and fried individually which is nice and crispy when you have it hot. I felt the quantity of curry was a bit less for dine in, not aware of takeaway quantity. Price is almost equivalent to other restaurants.

The place is great situated really close to Bethnal Green tube station and easy to spot. On the day we went the place was busy, we had to wait a bit for our food. But it was all worth the wait. The food was GREAT.
