We booked a late lunch here, mid week and enjoyed a great meal at a very reasonable price. What more could you want

Definitely my favourite Japanese restaurant in London! The food was fantastic and the price is reasonable. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated too. Highly recommended!

Fantastic place, the staff are great and can't do enough to help you, the food is fantastic and although not super cheap it is good value for money as you can order safe in the knowledge that whatever you choose will be cooked/prepared to a very high standard. (Try the chicken wings with Japanese Chilli) I keep finding myself drawn back to this restaurant and when I havent been for a while I crave their food. I have only ever booked once as myself and my girlfriend tend to go on the spur of the moment and although they can be busy at times they always bend over backwards to fit you in. An excellent place and highly recommended.

Went for a spot of lunch, sashimi was of high standard and fresh! Prices are reasonable for what you are buying and in london as well. Great friendly service !

I am lucky enough to live opposite this restaurant and I think it fabulous!
The staff are very friendly and efficient without being obtrusive and the food is quite brilliant. I love the ebi tempura and the tokayaki and the variety and freshness of the sushi and sashimi is exceptional.
It's not the most inexpensive experience but the quality of the food ensures that you do get value for money

I've only ever come here for a takeaway, but I ate in for lunch the other day. Gorgeous food - I had the sashimi lunch. A bowl of steamed rice, miso soup, and a great platter of sashimi with big slabs of tuna, salmon, snapper, red mullet (i think) and a scallop. Service was fine (there's a little button on the wall to get the waiting staff's attention). I finished off with a green tea and red bean ice cream which was also good. The only dud note was the cold spinach side - it tasted like it was dressed with a thin peanut butter which wasn't to my taste.

I Went here for my birthday dinner earlier in the year, and it was the first time i have eaten here. I went with my uni friends and a friend of mine who came to visit me from japan. I left it to her to order, the dishes arrived relatively quickly but i was rather dissapointed by the meal. The takoyaki wasn't very good, and neither was our mains.
The restraunt did look very nice on the inside and out, it had a nice feel to it, staff were friendly but sadly the food wasn't as good as i expected (perhaps i went in with too high expectations are reading many reviews on here), that said the food was OK, im not trying to imply it was bad, but it just wasn;t as good as i had hoped.
Theres always been very many good comments about this restraunt and i am tempted to try it again and put the last visit as a one-off hopefully, will update again next time i do visit.

One of my favourite restuarants in London. Feels like a local; food is lovely, choice is varied, drinks list is great, staff extremely helpful and friendly, and incredibly relaxed. I've been going to Soho Japan since 2003 and it has never failed me!

This is a really great restaurant. I have eaten here twice recently, booked by phone. The staff are very helpful and seem to be all Japanese, they are readily available to help and come around to check without interrupting. The main courses are very reasonably priced for this area in London and even the UK in general. There is a variety of drinks including asahi and saki, the glasses of Asahi are gigantic :). The main courses are very well presented and very nice. If you begin to order some sushi or onigiri this can bring up your bill quite a lot for a large plate to share, but well worth it freshly prepared by their sushi chef. There is no pressure to leave and you can sit around for many hours enjoying your meal. Well worth the visit!
