It is very cheap with such a large quantity of food. We ordered Katsu curry, and it was huge.

This place is cheaper than Michael Jordan. Yet food is tasty and comes in large portion. Definitely go for katsu curry. You will not find better calorie+taste / pound ratio around the neighborhood. Great for broke travelers. read more

The costumer service was really awful. I'll never come to here again. They need to improve their service!

Delicious food (had the salmon teriyaki bento box) and friendly and pleasant staff. Lovely wee spot for something yummy to keep you going.

Now, I guess most people need to have their mindset refined before visiting Misato - it is a truly no frills restaurant. Imagine a restaurant version of easyjet and you are about there. Misato serves fairly decent food, true, you cannot sit there for long before their staff give you the bill, shortly followed by the stare, but for the price charged, I would not honestly expect more in the central London location. Their selection is not bad and the food comes pretty quickly so it does the job - granted the queue can be fairly lengthy if you arrive late, but for those that like cheap Japanese food, I cannot pick a better place in central London. read more

Two good things about this place are that the price is inexpensive and the food comes in a large portion. Other than that, I couldn't think of a reason to re-visit. read more

The clients were mainly young Chinese and Asian when we had dinner last night. It was poring with rain, so we didn't have to wait. If you want the basic Japanese, this is it. Don't expect fancy, sophisticated meal here. The best dish is Pork Cutlet Rice. The portion is big and the pork lean and tasty. But ask them not to put dressing which is basically mayonnaise. I was going to order Chicken teriyaki, but was told that it was deep-fried (menu said grilled), so I changed my mind. I have never heard of deep-fried teriyaki (teriyaki means grilled and basted with glaze) in my life. The popular dish we saw was the Chicken Karaage Rice. It looked huge but had guey sauce on top - in Japan, it comes without the sauce - and I think it's way too heavy for me. The price is very reasonable and we are happy to eat Pork Cutlet again soon. read more

It wasnt what I expected. Food didnt look nice, chicken didnt taste as chicken, I would not recommend this place at all.

Misato is a small Japanese restaurant with cheap looking interior and relatively inexpensive food. However, the quality is good and the service friendly and fast. Definitely a good tip for a quick good quality meal before a show read more

A little and busy restaurant. Service leaves a lot to be desired. Was asked to move for a bigger party with no thanks or kind gesture to follow. Food is good not great-does the job. read more

This place is great when you are out and about and need to have a quick and cheap Meal. Japanese food is usually a bit pricey but this place is really affordable. In the evenings however be prepared to wait, so not suited for groups of more than 2 as it can take a while. Then again, patience is a virtue :) read more

Great value Japanese in the heart of Soho - no fancy frills, just basic dishes at affordable prices!

I hadn't been here for years and was had a good meal with my Japanese wife and friend. It's cheap for sure and you get tons, it's almost like the Japanese noodle king (bethnal green road). I think for 3 people with a drink each was under £20 which in London for satisfying food is pretty amazing. What impressed me most was the quality of the Ten Don. Usually this is quite an expensive dish, and even for somewhere in the region of £6 it was good enough to go back again for. I wouldn't be against paying double for that in another restaurant. Meals starting around £4.50 and going up by a few pounds, you're pretty much spoilt for choice since everything seems affordable, and looking around at other tables, everything seems to look pretty tasty too! I'd only say 4*s because it's the kind of place that you come away feeling like you've just eaten cheaply, and although I don't want to spend lots of money on every meal, you don't really come away wanting to tell people about the place.. I guess it depends, but I'll be going back in the not to distant future I'm sure! read more

I went here for dinner last night, 3rd time returning. Usually, the service is quick and friendly. However, I did not experience that last night. We waited 20 minutes for our food (well one dish came 5 minutes before the others), the waitress was miserable and didnt seem to care much at all about customers. The food, however, is AMAZING! When I finally got my dish, I remembered why I like to revisit this place. The food is just delicious. The Chicken katu teriaki and the salmon in teriaki sauce is scrumcious. (The Sushi, on the other hand, i'm not a big fan of. It tasted like it had been at least a few days old. Not fresh at all). I will definately return, only for the great tasting, large portioned food. Hopefully, the waitress will smile :) read more

Went there with a friend and luckily did not have to wait in any queues....enjoyed the katsu chicken curry with rice. It was awesome and a massive portion for only £6. They also have lovely plum wine read more

This place is great. The amount of food that they give you like other people have said is quite large. For less than £10 you could very easily feed yourself quite comfortably. The food itself is very good and I eat the Tempura Udon most times I go and it tastes great. Drinks aren't the cheapest things in the world but it's a small price to pay for such a good restaurant. The atmosphere is what you'd expect, mostly Japanese people however you will find the occasional tourist. You might have to wait for some time before being seated but even at lunch I haven't waited for any longer than 15 minutes. There aren't many tables but they do clear quickly. In my opinion this is one of my favourite places to eat in London. read more

This place is an absolute gem in an expensive city. Very good value for money with large portions. I lived in Japan for years and the curry here is better than any that I ever had. The sushi was fresh and I couldn't believe how cheap it was. read more

A good cheap eat The food was quite nice, but I've had better Japanese food elsewhere. Staff were friendly, if a little busy. The restaurant itself is fairly plain looking. However the price is where this place really excels - very cheap (for London). read more

This is without a doubt, one of my favourite places to eat in London. I've gone here several times, every time that I've visited London as a matter of fact- I make sure that it's a stop on my trip. And, I am never disappointed. Just don't bring a big group. read more

This place is BY FAR my favourite Japanese restraunt. The staff are friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and the food-the reason we go to the restraunt obviously, is just AMAZING! Purse friendly. That is all I can say. read more

This was one of my favorite places in London to grab a quick bite to eat. I had a lot of sushi to eat for maybe half of the price I would regularly get anywhere else! I love this place, this place is very small and easy to miss so be sure to keep an eye out for it. read more

One of my favorites places to go before a night out on the town. The chicken katsu is truly authentic and the salad is tasty. I haven't had a bad meal yet! The queue leaves something to be desired, but that's because it is that good and that cheap! The staff are always helpful and polite. This isn't a place to linger, but rather get in, have a quick chat with mates, and be on your way. They will shuffle you along when you finish(which people in the queue appreciate). read more

love this place! decent affordable prices for big tasty portions. their chicken katsu is good! meat is tender and tempura isn't super oily. one of the cheaper alternatives in Chinatown London. highly recommend read more

It's really a very generous portion for this reasonable price. My stomach literally showed after ate a half of it, however, my hands uncontrollably keep feed the SATO CURRY RICE to my untamed mouth. However, try not to go there in normal eating time like lunch or tea time, because there will be a long queue before you can get in this crowded little space. read more

I've been going to this place for years and i still love it. it's a casual restaurant but its really good value, the food is good and the portions are huge. You usually have to join a line to get a table but it moves quickly. read more

Excellent Japanese food and absolutely affordable. Cherry on the cake, staff was friendly and smiling. I would totally recommend.

My girlfriend took me here for a quick spot of lunch. Good value for money, largely sized portions and quick service, and also appetising. It focuses on quality and quantity but lacked in presentation, it is not a place for a romantic date but a good place to come to if you're in need of a satisfying meal. read more

I had a pork katsu rice for 5.50$! 10% service tax made it 6.10$. The food was pretty good. Large portion!! Service was nice but they were understaffed so it took a while. I would totally come here for lunch again. Good for the yummy and pockets! read more

Best japanese in london by far. If you want sushi on a roundabout go to kulu kulu, but if you want the authentic taste of back alley japan, this is it! The katsu curry is huge!!!! I dare anyone two eat two of these bad boys..... The shame is, that because I'm a bloke I will always go for the curry. In truth, the sushi is really good, the bento boxes are really swimmingly good, and their tempura is excellent. Washed down with a couple of kirin's this place is a perfect place to go before a heavy night out, or even a light lunch. read more

Amazing food, was recommended by a close friend. I ordered the chicken bento box, and everything was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be returning! There is a service charge which I was unaware of until it the bill came which caught me off guard. Overall amazing place, thanks for having me! read more

Excellent! Cheap, abundant, and great quality! Bento boxes are Amazing, especially the salmon teriyaki! We will be back!

This place is a good place for lunch but you have to be there earlier than other people. There is such a long queue usually. The queue goes right outside the restaurant to the pavement. If you manage to get a table, you'll know how good the food is. I would recommend anyone to wait. The food is great and it is not pricey as well. The staff there are friendly and helpful and it gives you a great atmosphere. They have hot dishes like noodles, rice and also sushi. read more

Amazing value for money. Excellent sushi and portions are massive. Definitely worth the visit.

If you are feeling seriously hungry and you want japanese, Misato is a pretty good bet. If you can get in, that is. It is cheap, tasty and the portions are HUGE. You'll be clutching your stomach before you leave the restaurant. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant if you want to linger over a romantic dinner - it's pretty much a japanese greasy spoon. I can recommend the bentos. Try and get there early though - the queues usually go some way down the street! read more

love the beef udon and beef rice! they don't charge for 10% service fee and very nice staff ! always long queue and only cash available, but its worth after you tried their tempura! read more

Came here for lunch as it seemed to have good reviews. That was a mistake. The portions are huge and the price is cheap. However, that is it. The soba was tasteless and the soup tasted like something out of a packet. The katsu was borderline. The rice was not japanese rice and a bit bland. Come for the prices and portions, not for the quality. read more

Food was great and the prices were very affordable. Portion size was well fitted! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving a good meal. Ambiance is not the best. But the food and price are on point read more

Great tiny restaurant near Chinatown. It is quite cheap and the staff is nice. I recommend the main courses : huge quantity for a good price ! The sushis are quite good but there is wasabi everywhere. As soon I get back there I will take a course ! read more

Expect huge portions. If you are tiny, you can probably share a portion of rice with a friend. Taste-wise, the food is ok, nothing spectacular, but you don't really go to Misato for the taste. You go for the portion and the portion alone. For less than a tenner, you leave Misato with a happy tummy. Don't expect five-star environment or service. The place is tiny and the queue is long. Not a first date kind of place. read more

Lovely little Japanese restaurant with speedy service, friendly staff, authentic Japanese atmosphere, tasty and very affordable food. Left more than satisfied spending just £5. Highly recommended. read more
