This restaurant had me not wanting to leave. The food is ace and I would certainly go there again. The Owners of Tosa are very nice people. When I walked in I was greeted kindly by nice poeple that offered any table in the small but smart restaurant. I think that this has to be my fav restaurant in all of London. If anybody asked me to to tell them the name of a good Japanese restaurant I would straight away say TOSA.

At last, some japanese food like one can find in small, ni thrill places in tokyo or in country towns around Japan. Nice owner couple. Being at the bar is good fun! Cold Sake in cypress tree-made little boxes is divine. The back room could be better decorated and a bit warmer.

The food here is superb. For those who think Japanese food is all sushi and shashimi - you will find a wide range of grilled food on skewers ranging from asparagus to quail's eggs through to pork. There are interesting and authentic items on the menu offering a different range of tastes and experiences.

The place is always busy and packed with Japanese people. For those who have waited long periods for their food - or encountered bad service - no I don't think this restaurant can claim to have a 100p/c track record pleasing everybody all the time. But I personally love the food and the staff have always been quick and helpful.

It is not a quick, cheap eatery. The food is brilliant - priced accordingly. Average spend for 2 if £50. Try it out for something different and be adventurous when ordering!

By far the best place to eat Japanese food outside of Japan.Yakitori is excellent and sushi and sashimi very well priced. Decor is not so special but we go there for food. Service is O.K and for such a busy place not too slow. Good range of da

ily specials which are done with great skill and understanding of Japanese food.

Highly recomended!

One of the best Japanese restaurants in London. Great place to eat really traditional japanese food. Does exactly what it says on the box. Go for grill but don`t forget about great sushi and tempura. Service can be slow at times but everything is fresh and made to order. Price is great considering high quality of food which is served in Tosa. In Nobu and Zuma you will pay three times as much for not so great food. Can`t wait to go back.

This is the best Japanese restaurant outside the West End, without doubt and considerably better than many in the West End who charge much higher prices.

Prices are very reasonable, food is consistently high quality with fresh ingredients (I am a regular there).

Decor is basic, but I go there for the food not the interior design. Service is varied, but has never been bad. Sometimes food takes a little more or less time than usual, but it's never been a problem in over 10 visits in the last year.

Ask for seat at the counter where you can watch the chef preparing the grilled food. This is not one of those awful hibachi grill places, by the way - they have a long narrow grill where the skewers of fish, meat or vegetables are prepared.

The soft shell crab (one of the specials) is especially highly recommended.

I've seen this place on my way to work for the past 4 or 5 months and finally decided to try it. Six of us went for lunch. We arrived at 1:30 sharp as we were told the kitchen closes at 2:30.

In addition to the standard menu they have a daily set lunch selection. We were told right away that there was no special maki left for the lunch special, only sashimi. Seems odd, but ok.

A colleague and I wanted tuna maki - and we were then told that there was only fatty tuna left. Not what I wanted, so we went for spicy salmon and california rolls. After our order was taken, we waited for over 30 minutes to be served. Even though all but one of us were having miso soup with our meals, nothing came out, and the place was not busy at all. We were starving and getting concerned for our hour lunch break.

When our food finally came, our soups were sort of thrown at us and one guy never got his soup. The lady tried to take mine and give it to him as the other part of his meal was there, but he told her that was ok. I was shocked. I'd aleady taken a sip. The sushi came all in one big plate - even though we were six people. She plopped it in front of me. 6 rolls came with a tiny dollop of wasabi and some small threads of ginger. Since it is nearly impossible for anyone not adjacent to me to reach the sushi, I asked for plates. Again, less that friendly service. I then asked for more ginger. This is crazy! The california rolls were EXTREMELY salty. I felt really guilty for asking my colleagues to come here, especially for those who had never had sushi before.

Then, upon leaving, the guy who never got his soup was charged for it..I caught it when she rang it up, otherwise he would have unknowingly paid for it. They also added on a tip to each of our bills. We were too in a rush to get out of there or I would have told them to take it off. We didn't get back to the office until 3:30.

I wouldn't go here again and I wouldn't recommend it.
