    Honestly very good to excellent Japanese. Eaten once and will recommend and revisit. Attentive staff and tasty. (Reminds me of Cali).

    I have been to this restaurant twice now, I was very pleased to find one so local as Japanese is my…read morefavourite cuisine. The menu is extensive, but a little on the pricey side. The Teppanyaki chefs are very talented and put on a real show for you while cooking the food. They also serve Sushi, Sashimi and Yakitori. I am lucky enough to have eaten Japanese food in Tokyo so the bar is set quite high fo me in terms of quality and authenticity. While this restaurant appears to be Chinese run rather than Japanese, the food still tastes authentic and the experience is very worthwhile. The Sake is great too, especially warm. Highly recommended, only loses one star for the prices.

    Called Saturday evening and tried a mixture of dishes…read more The Teppanyaki bit itself is great fun: around 12 seats are arranged around a metal hot plate and the (shared) chef works in front of you. In addition to preparing the food he flourishes his tools, juggles with some of the implements and even (optionally) threw the bowls fried rice to the customers! Somehow everyone I saw trying this managed to catch it, which was a relief. For starters we had Chicken Yakitori (chicken on skewers with leek and yakitori sauce), Harumaki (deep fried Japanese spring rolls) and Prawn Tempura: these varied from £4-5.50 per portion and I'd suggest one or two each as the dishes are small but tasty. We didn't try the Sushi, Makimono, Temaki or Sahimi, although some of the others at the shared table did and it looked nicely presented. For the mains (£10-17) we went with Traditional Teppanyaki: this is the food that the chef prepares in front of you on the hot plate. This is safe, but I don't think it would be a good idea for very young children. We had Tuna filet steak seared and served with teriyaki sauce and chopped pickled ginger; Scottish sirloin Hibachi Steak which was served to order, in our case rare. The steak and teriyaki sauce was lovely, the tuna was very nice but a little overcooked to our tastes. This was accompanied by egg fried rice with chicken at the start (£4.00), fried mushrooms and bean sprouts at the end (included in the cost). Everything was nicely cooked and very tasty. We had a bottle of Australian Merlot, which was good value at under £15. The food was good value, the staff were helpful and polite, and there is a reasonable amount of parking outside. Highly recommended.

    This is my favourite Japanese restaurant in the UK. Located in Chingford, it is only 30 minutes…read moredrive from where I live. Excellent value, for only £17, you can choose anything from the menu and there are over 70 choices, from nigiri, temkai, varies Katsu dishes to fried udon. You name it, they probably have it. This is my 2nd time in this restaurant and the quality has been nothing but very high standard. Will definitely recommend this to anyone who are a big fan of Japs food

    So. This place. Bit off the beaten track, yes. Not all my friends from Zone 1-2 willing to do the…read morelitle trek; no tube to Chingford, I'm afraid - but there's a night bus from Trafalgar Square, good luck. The surroundings are far from posh - like old fashioned gritty, not post gentrification fake gritty. If you're willing to go on the train, though, happy days. Super Sushi's "all you can eat" menu is as good as you'll get for the price. And the price is really great. For the same $ as a cheap main course on a typical japanese restaurant you can park yourself here and eat for 1h45m solid. The restaurant is a bit dark and not too noisy; good for a date if you're past that phase when pigging out in front of them is a no-no. The deal is simple: they'll bring you a list (a wide sheet of paper with hot/cold dishes on both sides) and you tick whatever it is you'd like - maximum 6 items per round; do bring a mate but not several, in order to maximise calorie intake. :) They'll bring the food quickly and give back the list, where you'll pick another six. I always start with a temaki and some nigiri; if you want yellowfin you'll pay a little extra but I never bother as the other fishes are just fine. Next I'd have the yakitori and wasabi prawns because that wasabi sauce is amazing and wasabi rush is my favourite legal high. Garlic fried rice goes well with chicken/pork katsu or teriyaki. The tempura sweet potatoes are good, but be careful because you'll get 5 thick slices and they can be very filling. Remember, you have almost two hours to fill up... To finish I get more nigiri, some uramakis and finally sashimi as "dessert" - BUT mind that the only fish included on the all you can eat price is salmon; all the others charge extra. Minus points: the karaage I had just once and it wasn't their best; the chicken was strangely fatty and sinewy. I don't rate the ramen highly either; I'd stick with the rice here. I wouldn't say this is the BEST japanese in London (might not even be the best one in Chingford; I stand to be corrected here), but it's delicious enough, there is no service charge, the beer is cold, the staff is lovely and friendly and you'll leave happy and almost too full to walk back to whatever form of transport you hopped on to get here. Oh, they do have a la carte menu, but most everyone just go for the fixed price. Up to you, though. :)

    After moving to the area it was time to find a decent Japanese restaurant without having to…read morecompromise too much compared to the choices available in Central London and Maki does not disappoint! Maki is decorated in a typically traditional way for a Japanese restaurant, along with a choice of regular tables and chairs or the more traditional floor table and cushions for a more authentic Japanese experience. It's also a lot more reassuring when all of the staff are Japanese as you can usually expect the food to be a little more authentic. The selection available doesn't disappoint with a wide variety of the usual dishes of sashimi, donburi, tempura, teppen yaki, noodles and other main dishes. However, they don't offer bento boxes for those of you who are fond of them. Their drinks menu is also very extensive so as well as the usual teas and spirits they also stock a lot of Japanese whiskies, beers and sake. The prices are also extremely reasonable for imported Japanese drinks of this quality. I've eaten here several times and sampled the majority of the menu as it fast became my favourite Japanese restaurant in London. The food is extremely delicious so certainly doesn't disappoint and I've always found the service fast and the staff friendly and helpful. With a location not far from Kew and just at the start of Richmond it's also very accessible so if you're ever in the area and fancy a great, authentic Japanese meal then give it a try!

    I love bento. You get your yummy Japanese rice with grilled protein with yummy crack sauce and…read moreveggies on the side. So simple yet so good. Bento boxes? Even better. You get even more sides to pair with all the goodies mentioned. I guess you can say bento boxes are like comfort foods to me. When I first moved here, I tried Tokyo Diner in Chinatown and was not impressed (aside from their feature of upgrading to a bigger size at no charge, that's awesome). However, Maki's chicken teriyaki bento is fantastic. Instead of traditional charboiled or grilled chicken breast (or thighs), they dip the chicken pieces in batter, fry it lightly and then put the crack sauce (teriyaki sauce...I do love my sauces) on top of the chicken. Delicious. Pair it with the bento rice and it turns into a dangerous combo -- meaning I can't stop eating it even when I get full. Can one die from eating too much teriyaki chicken and rice?? I also ordered their assorted veggie tempura, and it was just as good. Lightly battered veggies with great dipping sauce. Goes great with rice. For 1.50 quid you get a HUGE steaming cup of green tea to wash everything down. I will be back. However, please be aware of the "optional" 12.5% service charge that they automatically add to your total. If you do takeaway, it's 10% off your order.
