Harden's survey result
Summary
“A huge choice of classic Japanese fast food” at “very reasonable prices for central London” make this diner a real “go-to” in Chinatown. The tastes are “authentic – just like in a Tokyo eatery”, although “portions are larger”. There’s a “buzzy atmosphere and cheerful but slightly haphazard service”. Top tip – “bento boxes definitely recommended”.
Summary
“Just like the kind of Japanese restaurants you find in Japan” – this “bargain” diner, on the fringe of Chinatown, is “really small, but comfy and welcoming”. “Delicious noodles and tasty sushi keep cost-conscious fans coming, and the no-tips policy also helps keep the bill down.”
Summary
“Rock-bottom prices” make this stalwart Japanese café a very competitive option, even in Chinatown. Its sushi, noodles and curries are “neither fancy nor expensive, but honest, tasty, wholesome and top value”.
Summary
Battered stalwart Japanese caff that “feels just like Tokyo” (but is actually ‘mislocated’ in Chinatown); food-wise it’s not earth-shattering, but “always reliable” for “freshly prepared” sushi and a good range of other dishes at “rock-bottom” prices.
