Japanese Place

If you’re looking for a quick yet delicious meal, The Japanese Place is a fantastic choice for lunch! I ordered the Katsu Curry, and believe me when I say it was the best Katsu Curry I’ve ever had! The dish was comforting, rich, and full of flavor, with a perfectly crispy katsu and a warm, earthy curry sauce that hit all the right notes. This is a wonderful independent business that truly deserves support, offering authentic flavors and great service. Keep in mind that they are closed for dinner, so make sure to stop by during lunch hours for an unforgettable meal!

I’m so happy we have this Japanese Place back open. This brings a return to the great service and food that I loved before the pandemic. I had a salmon bento tray, mixed rice, sesame green beans, miso soup and vegetable tempura. It was absolutely delicious and great value. A place like this is hard to find. Even the view of the Gherkin is great :)

Just a quick lunch place that you can go, the dishes on the menu are not really too japanese, but quite affordable.

Super quick and lovely food! If you want a quick lunch break this place is perfect. Will definitely go again

Ordered the vegetarian katsu curry and I didn't have anything to complain about. The food was hot and delicious. The portion size was big and the staff was kind to add me some extra sauce. Eating hot katsu on a cold day really made it comforting and satisfying. I'd also highlight that the katsu curry usually is pretty salty when it comes to wagamama or wasabi. In here, it was just right. Give it a try if you're yearning for some hot Japanese food.

The staff here seem to believe hospitality is beneath them. Questions about the menu are met with blank stares or condescending sighs, as if decoding their options were a test of worthiness. Service is rushed, curt, and cold. You’re expected to know what you want before you’ve set foot inside. It’s less a dining experience than an exercise in enduring disdain. Proceed only if you enjoy being treated like an inconvenience.

Absolutely insanely delicious Chilli Beef Ramen Soup. The most tender beef I think I've ever had. Warming and perfect for a winter lunch. Try this and thank me later!

A really impressive operation. Good portions, friendly staff, super quick service and great food. I've been coming here once a week for a while now and look forward to it every time.
