    e. Be warned that this isn't a place you should go for a quick lunch (the sushi is freshly prepared to order), but with the quality of food on offer, you really shouldn't be rushing it anyway

    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.

She had gone there with a friend and enjoyed it Parking in this area of Raynes Park can be tight but you can find something in the local residential streets.

Flavoursome miso soup, and the contents of the bento itself was well seasoned and beautifully presented. We also shared some exquisite tuna avocado sushi. Staff were patient and courteous (we took a while deciding what to order). It's not the cheapest sushi, but it's very popular with the locals, and with such delicious flavours served in a relaxed setting, I can see why. I can't wait to return and try a wider selection!

We went along on a Thursday night, it was quite quiet, apparently uncharacteristically so according to our waitress. Straight away we received a friendly welcome, and the good service lasted all through our meal. I'm a vegetarian and ordered the vegetable sushi assortment, and a side of fried tofu. When my food arrived, I was amazed at how beautifully presented and fresh everything looked. The food didn't disappoint, it was tasty, fresh and left me feeling the way all good Japanese food does; full and content without feeling bloated or stuffed. My boyfriend had the spicy prawns and mixed sushi, he was blown away by the prawns, which were a special on the day we visited, and also very happy with the sushi. The price isn't super cheap, we paid about £15 per head, but we felt that for the quality of the food and the overall experience, it was more than fair. Will be recommending Oka to all my friends.
