Our first time trying shabu shabu and we loved it. We were absolutely stuffed at the end of the all you can eat. staff were attentive, Asahi pints were reasonably priced. I’d also like to note that this isn’t America and it shouldn’t be a shock if you don’t want to pay 15 quid service charge. The customer should decide the tip. Other than that good experience 😀
I’ve been to this Eat Tokyo many times and have been satisfied with everything however service today wasn’t great. The young server who initially took our order seemed impatient with us which didn’t make us feel welcome. I’ve ordered double chicken katsu curry before but was disappointed to see such a small ratio of chicken compared to the massive amount of rice. We also waited a long time for nigiris to arrive. However, food was good as always and service from the older members of staff towards the end of our meal made us feel more at ease.
While the menu can be quite overwhelming (so much choice and everything looks delicious), the food was amazing, the service friendly, the atmosphere busy and cheerful. Everything we had was delicious but outstanding really was the sushi. We came without booking and had to wait a few minutes and we could see more people arriving and queuing. It’s worth it!
Eat Tokyo is a popular Japanese restaurant chain with several branches across London, and I often find myself at their Golders Green location. There’s always a queue outside, no matter which branch you go, and that just goes to show how much people love this place. What I really like about Eat Tokyo is how authentic the food is. It’s the real deal—great quality, so many options and generous portions, and pretty reasonably priced too. My favourite dish has to be the Engawa nigiri sushi. It’s something you don’t see at other so-called Japanese restaurants in London, but they usually have Engawa here, so I always make sure to order some. The staff are always friendly and ready to help, which makes the whole experience even better. If you want to skip the wait, try going around 9pm on a weekday when it’s usually a bit quieter. Overall, Eat Tokyo in Golders Green is my go-to spot for a taste of Japan in London. If you’re into Japanese food, you should definitely check it out! 😘
New review for October 2024 Probably the worst dining experience in Eat Tokyo for the past 10 years we had been. This Eat Tokyo is so different after the previous manager left early this year. The waitress who is wearing pink is extremely rude and bossy. We asked her what is served in luxury sashimi boat for today as we understand everyday, there will be different fishes and ingredients they got. She just simply said some name, while the boat served, it was different from what she said. We asked her and she said waitress has no time to check with chef. If in this case, you should have not answer what is in the luxury sashimi boat by your own answer. We have decided not to come back to this branch anymore as the experience is really poor. The review below was left in 2022. One of the best Eat Tokyo we always love to visit. Busy restaurants but with very nice staff. We understand the restaurant is normally busy but they do not let us feel left out. Thanks Paulyn and team. 👍 Food is always good and standard is always there. Love their Lobster Sashimi a lot.
