Eat Tokyo Holborn

Overall, it was a rather disappointing experience. The restaurant itself has an unusual layout, spread across several very small floors. The uppermost and largest floor, which lacks windows, felt somewhat enclosed and overcrowded. The menu was quite confusing perhaps typical of authentic Japanese establishments, but it made choosing dishes more difficult than expected. The food was acceptable, though not exceptional; I’ve had more enjoyable Japanese meals at smaller, non-London venues. Service was also underwhelming. While staff were not overtly rude, they were somewhat abrupt. One of our main dishes arrived nearly an hour after the rest, and the initial response from staff was unhelpful they declined to cancel the dish despite everyone else having finished eating. Vegetarian options were notably limited. Moreover, several dishes marked as vegetarian actually contained fish, so those with dietary restrictions should take care. In summary, it isn’t a terrible restaurant, but it fell short of expectations, and I wouldn’t be eager to return.

Solid choice for authentic Japanese food at good value. The serving sizes are generous, the ingredients fresh, and the menu offers plenty of variety. Service is efficient yet welcoming - you’re well looked after without any fuss. Great spot for a casual, satisfying meal

I’ve been here many times and have never been disappointed. The place itself isn’t fancy, but the food more than makes up for it. Every dish I’ve tried has been excellent, and you can really tell the people here care about what they’re doing. This spot truly deserves five stars.
