    Miso black cod

    Everything there was amazing! So fresh and delicious. The drinks were fantastic! It's located close to soho

    Situated on the 1st floor at Kingly Court, this fusion sushi place is pretty impressive. I didn't have a reservation on Thursday night, but was able to get seating (I suggest you reserve spots here since there seating is very limited inside). Miso Kimchi Soup: caught me off guard with the strong taste, this miso Soup is a great fusion blend. There is edamame on the bottom Jalepeno Roll & Dragon Roll: both were very good but I didn't like the cucumber and spring onions inside since they overpowered the rest of the "softer" ingredients. Next time I will ask to omit those. Other than that pretty delicious. Tea- was good Service: ignored the entire time until I asked for the bill. I thought that was unacceptable since it was very empty inside so only a few tables to take care of. That's where the one star was cut.

    Tataki asparagus roll

    Delicious, reasonably priced sushi in Central London! It sounds like an oxymoron, right? We'll think again, because Oka does it all! We ordered the fried chicken, tataki asparagus roll, dragon roll, and jalapeño roll. Everything was tasty, but my favorites were the fried chicken (so tender and crispy) and the jalapeño roll. The service was good as well! My only complaint is that they only give you the table for 1.5 hrs. I personally like to take my time so I would've preferred the typical 2 hr time slot. The restaurant is small so I would recommend booking in advance especially if you're planning on coming here on a weekend night.

    Unagi nigiri, sweet, savoury and delicious!
    Garion M.

    A solid little Japanese restaurant for sushi and robata; and reasonably priced. We got an order of the Unagi nigiri, Salmon sashimi, Spider roll with kimchi mayo topped with avocado and tempura crumbs, and Tiger king prawns with garlic paprika butter with a squeeze of lemon. The food was delicious, the portions generous and the sushi fresh. We washed down all the tasty seafood with a dry and crisp bottle of Dewasakura 'Oka' Sake Junmai-Ginjo. I'm looking forward to our next meal here and will be looking to try the black miso cod and Mongolian lamb rack .

    Two orders of the Truffled Salmon roll and one order of the Rainbow roll

    Oka is easily one of my favourite Japanese restaurants (if not my favourite) in central London. The sushi is fresh and beautifully presented; the vibe is lively, but not too loud for conversation; and the restaurant itself is a clean and cosy space overlooking a vibrant courtyard off Carnaby Street. Our space at the bar was equipped with hand gel and a protective screen, and the staff were very accommodating throughout our visit. Watching the chefs using a blow torch in preparing some dishes was another plus. I highly recommend the Truffled Salmon roll, the Rainbow roll, and the Cookie Dough for dessert. In my book, with its exceptional service and spectacular fare, Oka remains the king of Kingly Court.

    Came here as a last resort because elsewhere in Kingly court was full. We had some sushi, lamb and salad. I wouldn't say the food is 'traditional', more like fusion?? Unfortunately the lamb was not very good, the marinade and kimchi totally killed the nice piece of meat. Interesting concept but far too overpowering. They had nice tea though, and service was good.

    Great sushi place, fairly priced, great service - all smiles! If you're looking for something different, it isn't but they make your run of the mill sushi for good cost; delicious and fresh. Their signature dessert is cookie dough with ice cream

    Delicious and super fresh

    It's more of a fusion than authentic Japanese food. But the service was good and they use fresh wasabi which is a plus.

    Super fast, and great service. Perfect for dinner before a movie night…read more On Friday night, I did a dinner-fail situation. Forgot to made reservations before my 8:30 movie. I went to a few places, and finally got seated at Atari-ya. With 45 mins left before the movie and a hungry belly, we managed to chow down some really yummy Japanese food. If we were to say purely based on food quality, I'd give it a 3.5. Food quality is very fresh, but the presentation /cut of fish is a bit "fast-food-ish", not top notch. Based on price/quality/quantity comparison, I think it's a perfect Japanese place for a hungry belly without breaking the bank. However, the most impressive thing is their fast and quality service. Water fill? no problem. more ginger? Ok coming right up. Ponzu sauce? Right away! Bomb!

We should not still be hungry after spending £30 per head on a sushi/sashimi platter each. They were described as 'large' but we both needed an extra snack on the way home! Certainly the quality and taste remain but the price has become too expensive to make it the destination restaurant it used to be. There are so many other alternatives that overshadow here in both quality and price.

The price is much higher than other takeaway sushi, including Waitrose's Sushi Daily. It was fine and did admittedly taste fresher and better than Wasabi and Itsu. The portion of fish was also more generous in terms of the salmon to rice ratio. Ultimately though I thought the rice was just...very bland. I like sushi rice to be seasoned with rice vinegar and sugar and this was not. It fulfilled my sushi craving for lunch but I wouldn't get it again. Also, the set I got I thought was on the better end "value" wise. Their sushi ends up getting pretty pricey depending on what you get.

We had already eaten lunch so we didn't order much but that said: the crispy salmon skin and fatty tuna toro that we ordered were both delicious! They were a bit pricey (the toro was £13 alone and only came with 2 pieces, but for a snack I thought the place was great, and it was very open and comfortable to sit and rest a while since we'd been walking all day. I had very little interaction with the servers so can't comment much on that interaction (you walk up to the bar and order, which my boyfriend had done).

Korean food, on-the-go quick bites, soups and sides. Hmm. I just don't want to give people the wrong impression. It's gotta be a catchy title, something that'll grab the attention of people walking by..." The imaginatively titled Sushi & More served up the basics of what we were jonesing for on a Friday night in London: rolls, tempura, edamame for the kiddo. I thought the service was friendly -- they were planning to close at, like, 7pm, but the cook -- likely an owner -- threw together a special order for us. Generally, this is an option for the urban warrior who's powering through the day and just needs a fish fix. The price is right, too.

Their prices start from £5 for the main dishes. There is sushi, appetisers and Japanese soft drinks to go with your order as well. I went for the Chicken Katsu Curry (priced at £5.50) and it came in a bowl and the portion was good for it's price. The curry came quicker than expected so I assume that some of it is microwaved, but the food tasted good and the price was cheap so I don't expect the freshest but it can be misleading for some. They have started to do texting orders with that you can text them your order and collect it from the shop which is good to do if you are in a hurry. So a decent place if you want a cheap meal, but don't expect the best quality though.

As soon as I made my decision and walked up to place my order, the waitress stopped what she was doing to talk to me. I ordered the chirashi donburi and.... It was pretty good. Not great, but pretty good. The fish all tasted good - I just wish there was a bit more - but the rice (and there was a lot of it!) was rather clumpy and stuck together, and not in a way that made me feel like it was meant to be... in a way that made me feel like they skimped on the sauce, if you know what I mean. I did like the sweet shrimp and the salmon. There was only one piece of tuna and at least 2 pieces of everything else, so I wish I had more tuna... but overall it was good, and definitely a place I'd return to. I can't decide if it's pricey or not because Im horrible at understanding sushi prices. I paid about £10.25 for a bowl of rice, 3 teeny little shrimp and 5 pieces of fish. You tell me if that's normal. Either way, I'll return - where else can I get sushi in the area?
