Best Restaurants in Victoria and Pimlico — Where to Eat Near Victoria | Eater London

"Morinoya is precisely the kind of restaurant Victoria’s transitory environment needs — efficient, good-value Japanese cooking which kicks chain competitors, of which there are many in the area, into the long grass. Plentiful bento boxes are the order at lunchtime, with solid tori or tonkatsu and gyoza for dinner." - Josh Barrie

Really enjoyed my ebi curry. Fried well with a crispy batter and tender shrimp. The curry has a very mild flavor, is in the thinner side and had one chunk of very slightly undercooked potato in it. It’s a simple dish and I enjoy it that way. Marking the food to 4 stars only because I’ve had curries with more complex depth of flavor. That said, this was really good, I’ll gladly come back to eat again.

This restaurant has made my London-holiday better. The food is delicious and the staff is super friendly. I have tried 5 different dishes and loved them all. The restaurant is on the smaller size but we don't feel cramped. Cute and unique experience.

Staying nearby, we felt like sushi and just walked in not knowing what to expect. The venue is tiny and there was no place inside. We sat outside. The food was excellent. Fresh, sushi was made with warm rice as it should be and the quality and freshness of the fish top. Even the green tea was of a good quality. I would say pity there are just a few tables available because the sushi is well worth it!

First Time Trying Sushi – I’m impressed This was my very first time trying sushi, and let me just say—it did not disappoint me. The flavors were incredible, everything tasted fresh, and the presentation was on point. I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, but I ended up *loving* it. The vibe of the place was welcoming, and the staff made me feel right at home. I already know I’m not just coming back—I’m becoming a regular. Lol.

We tried the prawn Katsu Curry and the crispy prawn Udon and both were delicious. The udon is thick and chewy just like Japan, and the broth has a tiny bit of spice to make the soup more interesting. The restaurant is very small and cosy so is busy at peak hours, you should make a reservation in advance if you can. Despite this service was great. Each table is small and low and you sit on small stools, this means the seating is not comfortable, especially if you are really tall or have a bad back like me - your back will ache, so be careful. This is the only reason I am only giving 4 stars instead of 5.

This is a great place and will definitely come back. Waiters were very attentive and professional, food was well presented and very good. The strawberry cheesecake mochi was so good!

Small restaurant, but we were lucky enough to get a table here without a reservation. The aubergine starter was delicious! Definitely the best dish that we sampled. The katsu curry base could’ve had more depth/complex flavours as I felt it lacked having any defining taste.

Incredible! We ate here as a four at Saturday Lunch time. We were able to grab a lovely table indoors, and the restaurant quickly become full. Despite the busy-ness, our waiter was delightful and exceptionably knowledgeable of the menu, safe to say his recommendations were second to none. We shared multiple starters between us, all were absolutely amazing! The Octopus balls were my personal favorite, they were extremely creamy and the octopus was so soft, the absolute opposite of chewy! In addition, the Chicken Gyoza's, Soft shell Crab Tempuras and Soy sauce with breaded chicken were also a knockout! We had a variety of mains, with none of us opting for sushi on this occasion. I enjoyed the Unagi Rice bowl. The rice was cooked to perfection and the Eels, similar to the octopus, were so soft, fluffy and the sauce was to die for! The others at the table enjoys some Udon Teriyaki, Chicken Katsu Curry and a Salmon Poke bowl. I had some of the Poke bowl and its was the best Salmon I've ever tried! Another knockout dish! Whilst I didn't try the other two dishes i was re-assured they were equally fantastic! The food all arrived in great time, our waiter was always checking in if we needed drinks before we'd even realised ourselves that we did. Simply no faults with this amazing spot! Considering we had 4 starters, 4 mains, multiple drinks including some beers and a tip for the excellent waiter, the bill came to an outrageously low £120. When we come back to London this spot is defiantly a must go to for us! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone!
