Kind of surprised by the low Yelp rating here. But in all honestly, the food here was 4.5 out of 5. The other reviews here talk mostly about the experience and service and the service here is very typical of a Japanese place. I would have to say that this is one of the more authentic Japanese places I've been to in London. Food wise: the taste is good, the quality of the ingredients is fresh, and is just the type of no frills place that I appreciate. Will definitely be back. Side note: their speciality is definitely the hot foods! read more

I came here with a group of five and was pleased to be seated upstairs. The wait staff, both of the servers, did not smile or say thank you at all. It was as if they dislike their job and I could tell from the moment I walked in. This poor service continued well through the meal. Nevertheless we ordered and waited awhile during the lunch rush. I was excited for the daily special of black cod served in a bento box which comes with miso soup. With all the orders coming out, I quickly learned that mine was by far the smallest portion, a tiny piece of fish, with way more edamame then I cared to eat, ample rice and a small salad. The soup was just average, not many toppings. The food quality was okay but I left slightly hungry so would have been better to go with the Tenshi bento, as that was a bigger box and assortment. This is a decent place for a quick bite but nowhere I would make an effort to visit on a frequent basis nor worth the price averaging £17 pp including tea. read more

I'll be honest, I go here for the fish cakes! They are amazing. Second visit we ended up getting 2 portions. This place is very nice. It's always busy when we arrive. The restaurant has a nice vibe. I had the Spicy Miso Seafood Udon, for those that don't know. It's a soup that has vegetables, king prawns and salmon flakes. It was spicy, it hit me a few times but worth it. The flavour was delicious. The food was served quickly so no complaints there. I'll probably be back next week for the fish cakes! read more

When you are craving Sushi in Islington you really have 3 choices, Akari, Yo! Sushi, and Tenshi. Well, maybe you have just 2---Ikari and Tenshi if you don't fancy conveyor belt sushi. Tenshi serves reasonably priced and well prepared sushi in an intimate and popular restaurant right on Upper Street near the Green. Now that I've been here and to Akari---I must say I'm a bigger fan of Akari--the food is more inventive there and the atmosphere (a sushi pub!) is much hipper. However, Tenshi does gets points for the quality of the fish (I enjoyed both my seared tuna hand roll and my salmon teruyaki), and the gyoza---perfectly made and not overly deep fried. The location is much handier than Akari's--here you are moments from Angel station. I did deduct 1 star though as they were out of many items I wanted (no salmon skin rolls, no beef of any kind), what a disappointment. That said, the quality is A-Ok and location is great. So 3 stars it is. read more

Got the udon tempura. I would have preferred the tempura on the side..it was so soggy by the time I was served the dish. The udon noodle was good, but the broth lacked flavor. Overall, the wait time was long and there's a handful of other Japanese restaurants in Angel that I would have enjoyed more. Not bad, but also not my first option. read more

If you go to a restaurant on a sunny Sunday afternoon expecting to sit on a terrace to enjoy a good sushi and a cold Japanese beer with your family, and suddenly you find out that is full with people who apparently are part of the team or their colleagues (we knew it later) like they were on a beach having Costa coffee who looked us up and down, it is clear that the thing did not start with the right foot. We realized that something was wrong, however, we entered anyway and asked about the availability of the terrace to the welcome waitress, very subtly replied that she would tell her colleagues to give us a table, clearly we said no, we were very uncomfortable, we did not mean to disturb anyone, but it is clear that there are no order of priorities. The restaurant was completely full, at least downstairs, so they took us up through the stairs to the second floor, which I would advise clearly is an area for the benefit of the restaurant instead the guest, otherwise how do you explain the lack of staff and the eternal delay dishes, it was like the Bermuda's triangle, they just totally abandon you. Finally, the upper floor is divided into two rooms, we were seated in the most pleasant one, which has natural light from a small window that illuminates the five tables. Immediately as we sat down we asked for some salty edamames a couple of Kirin pints and a ramune (Japanese soft drink), which came after 5 minutes, everything was good by then, at the same time we placed our second food order immediately. Notably we were the second table to arrive and the first to order, obviously after the first table that was there. Quickly diners were came in and sat down on the rest of the available tables, however, we were perplexed to see how they served others before us, leaving ours last in the requested order, while this was happening, we tried to call the attention of the staff without any success, I ignore if they were ashamed for their mistake or if they were just so stressed running up and down that gave them no time to look at our upraised hands as if we were in a 80's rock ballads concert, we were just missing the lighters to hold them on. When finally the waiter approached to our table, we asked him if everything was all right, he answered in a very quickly way "sorry, usually sushi takes times", and left without giving us the time to tell him back that all of the tables ordered after us and they were already eating sushi... They were not interested about us at all, but believe me, if I did not call the waiter to see what was going on, it could take more time. We were very patient and we decided that this negative detail would not embitter our family Sunday, however after half hour the waitress came with a simply apologize and one of our dishes, a pork okonomiyaki, one of my favorite Japanese dishes, let say it was well done, it may be taken longer because it was on the verge of cooking, almost burned, if I forget for a moment about this unpleasant taste, was very good, although I would have preferred that they charged me a little bit more to enjoy more sauce, it was poor in this matter, I appreciated the nice touch of katsuobushi or bonito flakes, but not so the huge pieces of ginger randomly distributed in the filling that surprised us occasionally with every bite we took. After receiving the okonomiyaki, the waitress found out my anger and began to get us the rest of the dishes, a tonkatsu pork, past frying oily thick hard pork cuts, my daughter's favorite dish unfortunately she was unable to eat it. I imagine because it was Sunday, they had run out of sauces, or they were carefully measure them, because otherwise I can find no other explanation why they did not served they way it supposed to be, and in case you were wondering, yes, it was missing a lot of sauce. The tuna and salmon hosomaki, at least they were tasty, well-proportioned, the rice was well-seasoned and at the correctly temperature as well, although its presentation was not the proper one. The idea was to order dishes very slowly, but seeing the situation regarding the service and the preparation of dishes we decided to leave, but took us another fifteen minutes to just ask for the bill, while the table remained full of empty dishes. I took the option of get down to pay, while my family waited for me upstairs. While I was asking the check to the welcome waitress I also absurdly asked for the manager, obviously he/she was not in the restaurant, otherwise I can not explain such a disaster, but to top it off, after paying, I was stopped by another stressed waitress, apparently she thought and kindly let me knew that I was leaving without paying, it was really uncomfortable being observed suspiciously by almost all the staff. Rarely happen that I left a restaurant altered, this time was one of them, because of a really globally negative experience, mostly they did everything wrong. read more

Very cute, small restaurant. Very authentic food, at very reasonable prices. Family owned and everyone was friendly. The sushi rice was made perfectly, with a vinegar-y taste which is how it should be. The sushi was served with crisp nori, warm rice and the fish was all fresh, and the ikura very good quality. The unagi-Don did not disappoint. Def worth a visit for casual dining and for authentic Japanese sushi. read more

As a former resident of Japan I'm generally skeptical of Japanese restaurants that try to do too many things, particularly if one of them is sushi. But I decided to give this place a go anyway. The decor inside has a woody and cozy izakaya feel, which was nice. No complaints on the service. My dining companion and I had pumpkin corokke curry and gyuudon. The curry totally hit the spot and I enjoyed the pumpkin korokke. The gyuudon had a nice flavour as well. Overall I left satisfied and would go here again for donburi or their izakaya items. read more

The service here is appalling. The one little girl acted like a ladidah airhead and didn't offer me a drink. After waiting seven minutes I was about to get my coat and leave, I noticed some other customers came in, got a plate and a soy sauce placed on their table, I waited a few more minutes to see what would happen and I literally was almost out of my seat when the girl said Would you like to order? A salad I ordered had leaves so huge I Don't know how they expect people to eat it with chopsticks??? Then the okonomiyaki I ordered with bacon and cheese, well I couldn't taste the cheese. Neither did it come with bonito flakes or ginger. My tea only got refilled once, the staff ignored me. They refused my AmEx card, a rough looking girl came out of nowhere and said We don't take that yeah? So I gave another card instead. She was gruff, moments later she asked: Are you actually done with your salad? I mean yeah because there was no way to eat it! read more

A new sushi place? In Islington? FIRST! Sorry, apparently even on Yelp you get internet douchery. Once we heard there was a brand spanking new restaurant on Upper Street, Laura N. and I put on our sushi eating pants and headed right over. Tenshi (that means angel in Japanese.. get it..cos it's in Angel. Clever devils they are) is a nice place, a bit spartan when it comes to decor but let's call it sushi house minimalism. Laura was excited to see they had okonomiyaki on the menu but decided to keep it simple with salmon sashimi. I ordered my usual and we waited in anticipation. And waited. Rip Van Winkel waited less time than we did. They didn't even bring the edamame or the green tea. Nothing. For a long time. Finally I got my agedashi tofu and L got her salmon. But nothing else.. for an even longer time. We began to wonder had we annoyed them in some way (maybe they'd heard of us, Laura N. is big in Japan you know). Both of us are fairly laid back but this was ridiculous. Turns out they had forgotten the edamame but that doesn't explain why it took so long for my maki rolls. It's raw fish.. how long do you need to make it? Tenshi gets three stars because the food was very very good. L claimed it as soon of the best sashimi she'd ever eaten. Slow slow refills of the green tea and they never once came over to ask were we okay or to explain the delay. But they are new and I would definitely give it another chance. read more

Was celebrating Chinese New Year here and ordered some sushi and rice dishes. The deluxe sushi set is quite expensive and I believe it is just slightly better than Wasabi however not worth the price. I also had the pork katsu curry with rice which is excellent and value for money too. This restaurant is running by Japanese so they know the deal and favor very well. Will definitely come again. read more

We really enjoyed the Japanese pumpkin croquettes. Super crispy with a good smooth potato filling. The curry in the katsu was a bit thin for our liking and the batter on the chicken a bit heavy.Overall good food and reasonable prices. We will have to come again to sample more of the sushi items.

No-nonsense Japanese restaurant that's actually quite good value for money when you know what to order. Their sushi's not the best (the tuna ones are usually a bit dry as the tuna isn't fatty enough to make it truly good), but there are a few items on the menu that are definitely worth a try! I would definitely recommend you order the chicken gyoza, as they are the best I've ever had in London. The miso soup is also really good. Service wasn't really great in the past but it seems it has improved significantly lately. Also a brilliant place for takeaway (they always tell you there'll be about 15 minutes wait but I don't think I've ever waited that long). read more

I ran into Tenshi while searching for dinner near my hotel. The place was empty but picked up after I came in. It was cute little sushi restaurant with two floors (approx five small tables on each floor). I ordered the Luxury Mixed Sushi platter which came with about 12 pieces of sashimi, 10 pieces of sushi, 6 pieces of maki, and two special pieces (all for about 27 pounds - picture uploaded). My server warned me that it was a lot of food (enough for two), but knowing myself... I had a feeling it wasn't going to be enough. When my platter arrived, I realized my suspicions were correct; the portion was a bit small. But that's all subjective, so judge for yourself with the picture I uploaded. Everything was fine. It wasn't the best grade fish, but it certainly wasn't the worst either. I've had some amazing sushi in LA, so perhaps my standards are a bit high. But overall, it was an average experience. I finished everything on my plate, and even had room for more. It was a lot to spend for average food that didn't fill me up (esp. when it's meant for two). Btw, I'm not fat~~ read more

So I've been back... more times than I would like to admit publicly (so I like sushi, ok?). And while the service has been spotty a few other times, tonight it was nothing but spot on. There was no canoeing to Japan without paddles and catching the fish with their teeth this time... it was truly immaculate. Immaculate enough for me to up the ranking not one, but two stars. Granted, guilt stars have been heavily played in my book of late... The staff are just so sweet, I want to hug them with big anime grins and squeals! Not only do they serve me delectable raw morsels, but they are willing to humour me with my few lines of Japanese ('wow, your country is beautiful' and 'do you take credit cards') and pretend they understand what I'm saying. All win. read more

We stopped in on a Saturday evening at peak 8pm eating time and were able to get a table so off to a good start. The atmosphere was calm and service was prompt and attentive. The menu has a good range of appealing yet straightforward Japanese dishes with a good range of sushi items (several roll types and nigiri) and decent selection. Udon and yaki-soba noodle dishes and tempura plus rice based dishes, katsu, curry and teryaki. I ordered a range of sushi and it was really good and fresh. Prices were reasonable AND the quality was there. I've been to more expensive sushi places that weren't as good. Will definitely be going back for more!... read more

Horrible, disappointing experience. Very disorganised, rude service -- forgot to put orders in, sat 45 minutes waiting for a plain green salad. Multiple tables left waiting. When our food finally came we, the quality of the tuna and salmon sashimi was awful -- chewy and stringy and couldn't bite through it. Sushi rolls were haphazardly constructed and falling apart. Would have been better off going down the street to itsu. Avoid at all costs. read more

The best sushis I've found around Upper Street, went for the first time a long time ago totally randomly but keep on going back now. The sushis are really fresh and it offered all the classics.

Horrible ! Horrible! Horrible Service! I came to London on a business trip and Tenshi is right next to my hotel. On Friday night, my manager and I decided to come here for some sushi. We showed up around 6:30 pm when this place was starting to get busy. We opened the door and immediately, a waitress said "we are full". I was anticipating she would say something else like how long is the wait time, where can we wait at, etc. But she didn't say anything. I asked her how long should we expect to wait. She said she doesn't know. Probably 15 minutes. We waited outside the front door in the rain for 5 min. I decided to check back with them to get a more accurate estimation. I walked in, and got ignored by 3 waiters who were passing right before me. They acted like they didn't even see me there. I had to stop the 4th one. Before I even said anything, the lady said "no tables here no tables here", and then she started to walk away again. At that time I was furious. I have never seen any restaurant being so rude to potential customers. But I had to give it one last try, so I asked how long is the wait. Without even looking at me, this lady said "30 min". Well... You could guess the rest. I walked out of the place and I will never ever ever going back to that place. read more

Tenshi, you are an angel ...in Angel(!) We had two hours to kill before our film was going to start, so decided to wander up Upperstreet and try somewhere new. I have not yet moved into the modern world, so don't have a smart phone and can't check yelp on the go...so we chose to go into Tenshi because the menu on the door sounded delicious, and because there was a Japanese family munching through a huge dish of gorgeous looking sushi at the front of the restaurant (you can't get better advertising than that!!) The two waiting staff seemed sweet, but couldn't speak Japanese. This made me a little apprehensive as it's always a bit disconcerting to point to the numbers on a menu, rather than just list of the names of what you want to eat!! However, I need not have worried! The food came quickly, and was passed my sushi snobbery - Yay! We tried the fried Hottate (scallops) which were pretty good, and very garlicky. The Tempura moriawase was also not bad - the huge shrimps were juicy and delicious, and I love tempura'd sweet potato and carrots. Nom. Everyone should try the spinach with sesame dressing...it was sooo nice! Nom nom! And of course I ordered a pile of sushi... The unagi was pretty good, it could have been warmer, but the taste and texture were perfect. The sea bream was served with lemon - yum! And lastly the yellow tail and salmon were both looovely. Nom nom nom!! read more

Come summer time nothing beats a the heat than a nice chunk of raw fish! Tenshi is a little gem on the green in Islington. Normally bustling, this two floor sushi joint serves up some of the tastiest and freshest (is that even a word!?) sashimi and hand rolls. A word of warning though, service is s l o w. No, not bad, just slow. This I can imagine would be a perfect date spot if you really want to linger over a meal but a total no, no if you're on a date with a wet fish! It's not badly priced either and I'm sure to be going back more than once! read more

Had a very good working lunch here today. The sashimi is great quality. The sake and maguro melt in your mouth. Had some wonderful rolls as well. Great saki selection for a small place and the standard japanese beers are available. Enjoyed it so much, we had a second round of everything. Came out to about £64 for 3 beers, 2 sakis, 6 orders of sashimi and 6 rolls. Well priced for the quality. Service was a bit slow, but that is probably because we were sitting upstairs. Felt like we were forgotten, but I'll still be back. read more

Generally little quantity and quite strong taste (salty/too much soy sauce). It's not necessarily important but the owner is probably not Japanese. Atmosphere and interior are not too bad, could be look like a Japanese restaurant. Staff members were friendly and helpful.

Very impressed with my dinner experience here. Upper street on a Friday night can be a pain. It's bustling, but not exactly with a crowd-of-choice. And although the most densely populated area by dining institutions in London, it can be a challenge to find a decent bite without pre-booking at "rush hour". However, Tenshi to the rescue. Nicely timed after returning from a Japan trip and missing the tasty cuisine I had been treated to there, I thought I would give this place an opportune visit, after all they did have space for us (wich I can say did cause a little suspicion initially, now I appreciate that they have cunning kept their profile on the DL from Islington savages). Friendly and polite staff which made a good start, who didn't even kick us out when evidently they had packed up the kitchen and closed (- the Japanese are way to polite!) The sushi platter was fresh, and the noodles very tasty - and I couldn't believe how reasonable the prices were! I'd definitely think twice about going to Wagamamas next tie a craving for yaki udon arises, not only to support a local business but to sample some of their curry and rice options next time too. Might give the awfully saccharine plum wine a miss and just stick to the Asahi next time though! read more

I wanted a cucumber avocado roll so I asked if they could since they sold cucumber rolls and avocado rolls separate. They told me no because it wasn't on the menu and when I asked someone else they said they would ask and when they came back the chef said they were too busy... I ended up getting chicken yaki soba noodles too and they were whatever. Didn't refill our drinks. Didn't have WiFi. read more

I haven't had much Japanese here in London because of the price, but I splurged this day and had a £7.50 roll.... If I don't panic by trying to convert that into US$, it was solid. Not the most amazing thing ever, but distinctly solid. That combined with the location and the atmosphere = a solid 4 star sushi place. I also had the Tako balls (octopus) which was pretty much as I've had them other places. They also have Okonomiyaki (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeUHy0A1GF0) which I'll have to try at some point. In short, not REALLY worth the price, but solid if money isn't a huge issue for you. read more

Decent Japanese food on Upper Street. Nothing wrong with it - but not much outstanding either. The one highlight though that I will definitely be going back for is the octopus balls. No - they're not what you think! They're the famous Japanese takoyaki - lightly griddled balls of batter filled with bits of octopus. Absolutely delicious at Tenshi and probably the best I've ever had in London. Apart from that - pretty standard fare at pretty standard London prices.

The sushi is amazing. We had loads and it was between three of us. I can't remember what we had, serves me right for leaving this review for so long but everything was fresh to order. There were slices of ginger which I could get enough of, even though it had that ginger bite too it, I couldn't get enough of it. The sushi was second to none, we definitely had salmon, prawn and tuna on the rice. We had two sides of edamame beans, which I'm sure was my first and definitely won't be my last! They were so morish! We has ice cream too - I choose the green match tea, which I really enjoyed. Service was good, maybe a little slow but friendly and attentive. They were quite busy for a Monday night, so that's a good thing for a business I think. Would I be back, sure, when I'm down that way again! read more

The place is small, we were led upstairs and the tables are not communal but quite close together. Not that bad, but if you want privacy and not having to constantly eavesdrop, then maybe go elsewhere. The sushis were pricy for the amount, so I didn't order a starter. Now reading most of the reviews here I'm glad I didn't. Staff was attentive and pleasant, the meal came fast. Ordered a couple of pints of Kirin, came to the table not exactly cold but acceptable. The pork curry katsu: the swine meat wasn't best quality, very stringy and hard. The breaded bits were falling off. The sauce was different than any japanese curry I've ever had, here or in Tokyo, and not for the best. It was served on a plate when I believe curry is best served (for handling purposes) in a bowl. The flavour didn't blow my mind at all. Good location, prices are overall right, service is decent. The kitchen needs to up their game. read more

The aubergine is the absolute best thing on the menu, followed by the spinach. Staff are lovely, but I did have to ask for the bill four times. Maybe they liked us and didn't want us to go... I advise you book because it gets quite packed, even on week nights. read more

For online orders, this company has outrageously rude, offensive, and incompetent customer service. The upshot: Will. Never. Order. Again. The short version: While waiting for a delivery order, I received a call about an item out of stock. There was a substitution I was willing to accept, although it was £1 more. I also offered to simply accept a refund for the missing item. Person on the phone kept insisting I take an alternate item at the same price, and did not know how to refund the initial item. As there was nothing else I wanted, I suggested in that case Tenshi absorb the £1 difference and give me the alternate item already proposed. This did not strike me as unreasonable, given the issue was on Tenshi's side and I was already waiting for the order. £1 seems like a small price to pay to show goodwill, apologize for the inconvenience, and maintain positive customer relations. Seriously. And, as it was, the call was becoming unnecessarily protracted. When the person rudely refused, I requested they cancel the entire order and send me a confirmation email to that effect. What a waste of time. Over a measly £1 on what was a £35 ticket. This is how Tenshi regards its customers. I never received a confirmation email, nor did I receive a call from the manager, 'Sumi'. Instead, I received a call from the initial woman, ruder than ever, to say that they would get to my refund in 'a few days'. Great, now even more time to waste following up with the bank. Unbelievable. With all the food options in central London, and in Angel especially, some basic courtesy seems like a smart strategic choice -- if nothing else. Also, I was a very good customer and had ordered many times before. read more

Been here few times with colleagues for lunch. I always opted for their Bento lunch boxe. There have multiple varieties and but quite small portions. Under 10 quid for a lunch with a soft drink but I personally didn't 'relish' the food. The place is cozy, efficient staff and has a Japanese feel. Was never full when I visited may be it is not a popular lunch time option. read more

Sorry in advance :-( I've been desperately trying to find a good independent Japanese restaurant...unfortunately I'm still searching. The takoyaki octopus ball starter was ok, the fried octopus tenacles was tough though. The mixed sushi platter was mixed. It depends on what your comparing it to. If your comparing it to Yo! Sushi then it's probably good but I was personally underwhelmed. On the plus side I thought the tempura was good especially the vegetable elements as they were fresher. I feel really terrible for saying this as I want independents to do well. But there were too many little things that were quite right but with a few minor improvements I think this could be a good 4 star restaurant. For example, they appeared to use a communal teapot with old green tea leaves for serving tea to customers. The tea had very little flavour at all. It would be nice to have our own fresh teapot...I'd be happy to pay £2-£3. One last thing to mention - they appeared to have a very good sake and shochu selection but unfortunately I was driving. read more

The first time I came here a few years back I was uninspired and didn't make a return trip for AGES.

You don't expect to find poor service in a Japanese restaurant. Unfortunately, you do here! We had very slow service one lunchtime and it wasn't even that busy, rather the staff were disinterested. Similar story on a previous visit. If you go to a Spanish restaurant, you expect Spanish-style service, this is fine and goes with the vibe. However, Spanish service in a Japanese restaurant.... (sucking teeth) not so much! That said, the food is pretty good. Great Agadashi Tofu, good sushi rolls, the bento boxes aren't a bad deal at all. It's just not exceptional. By all means come here in preference to a chain. But, Tenshi, please sort your service out! read more
