Tosa (East Finchley)

Food was very poor quality and in small quantities. Skewers of meat came with only two pieces or maybe three. Sushi rice was not right and fish did not taste fresh. Very expensive!

The worst meal I've ever had. Food was very average - tiny portions for the prices compared to all other Japanese resturaunts I've been to. The grill menu is way overpriced, as are extras like the miso soup and green tea. Tastes were bland and often boring: despite high hopes for the 'Dragon Role' it tastes more like sauce than eel. Service was really poor, we waited 10 minutes for drinks at a not very busy time. The grilled quails eggs arived after forty minutes!! And waitresses were very unatentive and rude when we inquired about our food. Altogether an awful dining experience, wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Good restaurant and although not cheap I don't agree it is expensive. Lunch time is definitely better value at £10 per head but even in evening it shouldn't cost more than £25 per head for a decent meal. Japanese food is all about quality of food and attentive, understated service and Tosa delivers.

Would highly recommend. We eat there around once a week, usually at lunchtime but also early evening....so have a lot of experience. Consistently good.

If you want good food and don't mind paying a high price than this is definitely the place to go. The focus is quality and not quantity. The restaurant has been full every time i've been. My children love eating here and it is the restaurant of choice for them. Unfortunately at £150 per visit for a family of 4, it's not somewhere we can afford to come very often!

I was on a training course in East Fincley over the weekend and happended to walk past Taso when I was looking for somewhere to eat lunch. So glad that I went in. From the £10 lunch menu I had some really fantastic prawn and vegetable tempura, with rice, pickles, miso soup and a really fresh salad. Terrific value value for money and the food was delicious. I went to Japan on holiday a couple of years ago and Tosa really is authentic. Please open a branch in Clapham Junction!

I can sum up my experience in 5 points.

1. Good Food.

2. Very Small Portions.

3. Very Expensive to dine in.

4. No Ambience unless you sit by the grill.

5. Good Service and attentive staff.

Value for money? At £33 per head for 2 drinks and 2 courses, it is difficult to say yes!

Superb food and service! We discovered this place back in July this year and since has become our regular dining out venue. I love Sushi and my wife loves the Japanese open fire grills. Oscar deserved!

I have eaten here several times now. I find it addictive. I love the grilled skewers. Food is great, authentic and tasty. £1.50ish for a skewer seemed okay price wise BUT I guess it depends on how much you eat\drink. I like the idea of sitting by the grill but unless you sit back it does get hot.

Foodwise you must try Shisomaki which is simply divine. I always annoy myself because I have to eat the Mackerel, which is wonderful.

Cant wait for my next visit !

We visited this restaurant 31/03/11 and thought the place was i bit small. there were 5 of us but we managed to get a table by the grill counter. The waitress recommended some really popular dishes and because i had an allergy there were certain dishes i could not eat but the waitress took care of us all evening pointed out each dish to me. The food was good quality and service was excellent spot on! Will definately go back.
