When i first came, at 30 minutes before 12 noon, the place is yet to open. I came the second time at 30 minutes past 12, and it was already full. The waitress was very quick to assign me a seat, and gave a good order recommendation. My meal, beef soba, was also made very fast. The portion was fine, the beef was quite a lot, the broth was delicious, and the overall taste was as expected. Simple and perfect for windy London.

I ordered chicken katsu curry and the portion is huge for me :)). If you're not a big eater, i suggest you ordered 1 portion but add sides or rice, it should be enough for 2 people with tiny tummy space.

Super cute and quaint, Misato can be a blink and a miss in Chinatown. This place is best defined as a hole in the wall and delivers just right. Their pork katsu curry was incredible, as was the sushi that my date had ordered (according to him, ie). The pricing is easy on the pocket. The staff is cheerful and friendly. Only complain? I wish they had a card machine for transactions. Gotta give it to Misato for keeping it old school and rustic in the age of cashless transactions. Highly recommended.

Misato is one of the few budget friendly restaurants in Chinatown. This restaurant is perfect for those who want to try Japanese food or those who just crave for it. Portions are quite big and the food is excellent and freshly prepared, although the ambience and interior of the restaurant could be improved. We ordered Pork Katsu Curry Rice, Beef udon, and Katsudon each cost us around £6-6.50 only.

Misato is a hidden treasure at the start of Chinatown in London. Our first visit here was unplanned (we saw a big queue and just queued up) and have gone back multiple times since then.
Ambiance: Don't expect much on the ambiance and be prepared to wait for anything between 15 to 30 mins. But it is worth the wait :)
Food: We have tried out many dishes here but my favourite was the sushi Bento! Was great value for money and costed less than £10.
Service: They generally take your order already while you are in the queue so it saves time. The tables are bit cramped up and you have to share them with other patrons. But the food quality compensates for all this.
When in Chinatown@London you should definitely give it a try!

Dining at Misato brings me back to the days of being a student. But in the best possible way. It’s some sorcery that the restaurant is able to offer food as cheap as it is. In fact, Misato’s been around twenty five years now so they must have some formula worked out. I ordered the chicken torikaraage (£4.50) and a serve of six avocado maki (£2.50). There is a minor (optional) service charge, but this is an incredible value meal. Especially considering the location in Chinatown and wider Soho London. And the food is solid. Both dishes arrived lighting quick and are gigantic serves. The chicken has a nice crispy coating and the flavours are mostly there in the proper tasting meat. The maki roll is freshly rolled and tastes great. The sheer range in the menu is also a delight. No frills, just great times. Misato’s definitely on my list for returning based on high value for money, speedy service and a top location. Notes: there’s queues on busy days and it’s a cash only enterprise.

Great prices for central London and huge portions (rice dishes). Sushi not bad, satisfies the craving without breaking the bank. Definitely will eat here again when looking for a bite in the area.

Awesome food! My favourite would definitely be the fried chicken there (so crispy!), but chicken teriyaki and pork katsu curry is also nice ngl... If you're looking for a cheap place to eat and for big portions (the rice dishes), this is definitely the place

In my humble opinion, Misato is the best restaurant in London if you consider the quality/price ratio. The ratio, simply can't get any higher than this in this city. Why? Because Misato serves the best Japanese comfort food you can have for the best price available.

The best dish is definitely the Beef Curry Udon, a ramen-like noodly soup with curry that not only warms you, but fills you up. Other good options involve the Chicken Teriyaki Rice and the Chicken Katsu Curry Rice. The rice portions are generous and the salad comes with their homemade mayo sauce that will make you lick your fingertips.

Don't expect top-notch service and attention to detail. That's beyond the point. What matters is the food and how fast they get rid of you in order to get the new customers in... And believe me, being treated as "another-one-to-serve-and-push-out-the-door" has never been tastier.

This place is definitely worth the wait for. Although. If you are queueing don't expect to wait for long as the dishes come out in speedy time! We ordered the noodles and they were fantastic. The soup was great and the bean curds were fantastic. My tempura was crispy and the staff were really friendly. Highly recommend this place to people who enjoy Japanese food!

Came here after hearing a lot about the affordability and huge portion sizes. Being a sucker for Japanese food, I decided I had to check this place out.

I've wanted to come here several times but have always ended up going elsewhere after seeing the queue extending out of the door. This time, I went a little earlier than the peak time and it was still very busy so keep this in mind if you're planning to visit. I guess this is just testament to the experience you get at Misato.

The staff are reasonably friendly and attentive, and whilst I did have a few issues flagging a waiter down, I think this is just down to the number of people trying to get their attention as well. Not too big of an issue. I spoke to one of the waiters about my meal and he discussed some of the methods they use for cooking and his personal recommendations too, so that was quite nice.

The interior is basic and honestly not that cozy, but it's not terrible. It just feels quite bland and boring. When it's full of people, however, you don't notice it that much.

The menu is large enough to have a good variety of rice dishes, sushi dishes and assorted other Japanese cuisine, but not too much to be overwhelming. This time I opted for the Chicken teriyaki katsu. I cannot emphasise this enough - the portions are MASSIVE. Easily the largest meal I've eaten in the area, and for an extremely cheap price too. I had a main course and a drink, paid with a £10 note, and still walked out with a handful of change. The food is delicious - very homely and authentic tasting. Definitely very morish; I may have been stuffed after clearing my plate but I still wanted more!

If you're around Chinatown and want delicious, huge portions of food at very affordable prices, definitely check this little gem out – just be prepared to queue for a short while!

I never write Zomato reviews, so you can guess how good this restaurant is to warrant my recommendation. 

I'm going to first say that I'm a university student, and so cost places a really big priority, which Misato definitely delivers. The rice meals are HUGE and less than 10 pounds (the plate is bigger than my face), and it tastes really good. I had the pork katsudon on my first time, and it was nice and saucy and a little sweet, which is how I like it. The other pork katsudons I've tried so far were a little bit drier, so I don't know if that's how they do things in this city, but I feel like Misato hit it right. The sushi is really nice as well -- the cuts of the sushi are nice and thick, the rice is nicely sticky and vinegar-y, and one piece is roughly a pound. 

Menu is fairly extensive, I'd give the restaurant 10/5 if they offered chirashi don, but I'm not complaining. Quality > quantity. Service is pretty attentive, food arrives fast. Restaurant space itself is kind of small, but since the turnaround is relatively quick it doesn't matter too much. Plus, if you get hungry while waiting, you're definitely going to be full after your meal. Definitely not a fancy place by any means, but I'd rather go to a place with amazing food and not a lot of ambience than the other way around. 

Also, the restaurant is right next to Leicester Square/Chinatown, so if you ever want a dessert really quick then you can easily find a bubble tea joint or check out the Chinese bakery right next door, which I like.

Misato is definitely a sushi lover's paradise. The menu was quite exhaustive for a small restaurant. After going through it , we ordered maki rolls and Pork Ginger Rice. The portions are good and value for money. This easy to located restaurant should not be missed !

With a line that will often stretch out the door, this Japanese place has one massive thing going for it.  It's prices.  As one of the most affordable Japanese places in London with large portions for hungry students, it was a must go in my perceptually hungry growing days (read student life).  And the food's not bad too.  Just be prepared for the long wait.

Big portions, tiny bill. I come here if I'm craving chicken katsu curry or if I'm plain broke. I never manage to finish my whole plate even though it tastes really good. I also like the salmon teriyaki though the sauce can be a tad salty. Ask for tap water for a super cheap and filling eat.

Yesterday my date took me to this Japanese restaurant opposite china town and I had the eel sushi followed by salted mackerel and that was orgasmic! I expected a lady behind me to say 'I'll have what she's having' lol even the person I was with asked me if I was alright as I must have been pulling a face but as I explained to them I was floating off the celling. If you've seen ratatouille and the scene where the critic tries the food and it explodes in his face and instantly takes him back to childhood memories of his mothers cooking, this was what it was like. I've never experienced that before! All I think they did is cook the salted mackerel in butter but whatever else they used gave it such a savory flavour it melted in my mouth and the fish was perfectly cooked, the skin grilled golden and lightly crisp. It really was heavenly. I'm still thinking about it today! And it was so cheap! We had two main meals, which are large, I had eel sushi and we both had warm sake and asahi beer that all came to, with service charge, about £22!!!!


The only thing I'd advise is go with cash as its cash only but I have found my new favourite Japanese restuarant in London.

Students Canteen. If you can put up with queueing, cramped and the basic setup, you will be rewarded with super cheap and tasty food. Stick with Chicken Teriyaki (~£5) and Katsu Curry (~£7) rice dishes and don't choose anything fancy. The portions will fill you up for the whole day!

One of the things I miss most from my Asian travel is being able to order a cheap dish that, when arriving at my table, is steaming of flavour and goodness, of a size so large that it could feed a small family of elephants. It’s not just that it’s cheap, or that it’s good, or that it’s a lot. It’s the holy trinity it acomplished. Finally, such a heavenly place found in the dark, decadent streets of London.     I remember, in fact, coming to this restaurant the first time I had visited London – oh what a wonderful time of my youth. Even then it was renowned for having these absolutely huge dishes for basically a nickle. Sure, it’s not that cheap, and it still doesn’t compare to the great Asian wilderness. Yet for 4.5£ it is good enough to enter the rather difficult Cheap Lunch Series. The chicken was amazing, so moist it nearly melted in my mouth (not actually melting, that would have been a bit concerning). The sauce was delicious without overpowering the food, something most places

After our 4-day stay in Dublin, Pickles, Dolph and I returned to London and settled into our accommodations for the next three weeks. Since our breakfasts were included in the costs of the program, we only had to take care of our lunches and dinners. For me, this inevitably lead to overconsumption of my favourite Starbucks drink (the iced chai latte), as well as some cold ready-to-eat items from M&S Simply Food. London was abnormally warm during our stay, often going over 30° Celsius (or 86° Fahrenheit if you’re Celsius-illiterate like I am). Cold pasta salads from M&S were my saviour when I wasn’t in the mood for a hot meal, which was often. Still, once in a while, you’re just in the mood for a warm dinner, so the three of us decided to go eat at Misato, a Japanese restaurant in London’s Chinatown, which Dolph had visited earlier in the week. After consuming so many prepackaged sandwiches and pasta salads, I was excited to have some warm steamed rice and yummy Japanese food. Pickles d

eep fried pork cutlet with curry sauce on rice...The sausage and mash of Japanese cuisine, in my opinion; perfect comfort food. What’s not to like about this dish? Deep fried pork, with a sweet, thick, slightly spice curry sauce drenched over it, making it just that bit slightly soggy. Eaten with steamed Japanese rice, perfect for a rainy London day.

Misato brings back a sense of nostalgia for me - my teenage years of going there with my friends and cousins. The reason? It was cheap and cheerful - the portions were also HUGE. Now as an adult I still return to Misato. Why? Because of the memories? Yes. But most importantly the food is actually good! I love the chicken katsu curry here - the crispy breaded chicken smothered in an abundance of curry sauce together with the homemade salad sauce and rice is perfection.

Misato isn't fine dining and the decor has hardly changed in the last 8 years I've been there but it definitely has a unique charm.

Tips:
- I've found the sushi and udon here to be very average so I suggest to stick to the rice dishes.
- I had their takeaway once and found that the chicken wasn't crispy by the time I got home - highly recommend eating there instead of ordering takeaway.

O misato back in the days you get supersize portions to feed four people, seriously when they bring that plate out in front of your eyes you just get full from staring at the food. My favourite dish from this place is chicken katsu curry. Served with 4 bowls of rice, 4 enormous chunks of deep fried battered breadcrumb chicken breast and side salad for only £6.20. I love the home made style salad sauce it’s somewhat between peanuts and salad cream need to steal that recipe. The curry sauce is mild and addictive, I’m always making my own Chicken Katsu curry at home too!

I wouldn’t call it the best tasting food I ever had but when your a starving marving be sure to head here to fill up your belly with decent food. It’s nice to see the same chef still there for over the 6-7 years I’ve been visiting. The place can be packed especially in the weekends where you see the queue from the door to the outside street. This place is somewhat small and can be cramped a lot of people arrive in groups of 6.

We had gone out the other day and on a hunt for a nice restaurant which was also affordable. We looked up online and found this place. This place can be a task to locate as there are no signboards around. However, once we were finally inside, we loved it! The menu was varied and nice with very reasonable prices. The food was delectable and came in very generous portions. The service was impeccable. The atmosphere was just fine. I will surely be returning here.

Misato is a fantastic independent Sushi outlet.  It gets rather busy during the day and for good reason.  The sushi is very fresh and there is plenty of other Japanese cuisine available as well. 

And the food is very decently priced as well.  I love going to Chinatown as you get expertly created meals for much cheaper than other places.  A definite must-try!

I know there seems to always be a queue. The service is okay, and the food is great and the prices are the cheapest I've seen for Japanese food! But mind you they do have a minimum price they want you to pay... I always have their awesome sushi (I normally order Sake Maki when I go here!). Me and my friend tend to get the fish curry/teriyaki. I tried the Udon, but perhaps it was the chopsticks, but I didn't enjoy it as much so switched back to my usual. 

Do I recommend this: if you're on a budget or just want to have something an bit on the cheap side that tastes good this place is thebomb.com

Misato is just around the corner from the main road in Chinatown and Piccadilly Circus giving it a great location. The restaurant is bigger than it seems from the outside. Looks narrow but stretches back quite far. Almost every time I have been here, there's a queue and there's a good reason for it. They serve plentiful portions of well executed Japanese classic dishes such as Katsu curries, tempura, some sushi. They have a vast menu and sometimes it's hard to pick what to get.

This time I went for a sashimi platter with additional grilled salmon nigiri (which was a special) and some salmon and avocado rolls. They grilled salmon was soooo delicious, I haven't seem this flavour in other Japanese restaurants before. So tender and the seasoning was just right. The rest of the sushi didn't disappoint either. They don't have a huge selection of sushi but what they do have, they do it well.

Would highly recommend this place, good value, delicious food if you don't mind waiting a little (turnaround is usually pretty fast).

This place serves hearty Japanese food at bargain prices, and is pretty much always crowded. As a student living in London, Mistao is probably one of my favourite go-to Japanese restaurant in the city. It’s delicious, authentic, cheap, and the portions are HUGE. If I don’t go on an empty stomach I usually have a generous heaping of leftovers to take home.

Misato is definitely most well-known for its rice dishes, including katsu curries and teriyakis- hence it's probably advisable to go somewhere else if you want sushi and sashimi. My personal favourite is the Pork Katsu Curry Rice, which consists of breaded and deep fried pork chop swimming in curry sauce, and served with a generous amount of rice and salad- all for under 6.5 pounds! This obviously isn’t the healthiest dish out there but it was sinfully delicious. The curry sauce isn’t the spicy kinds you usually find in Indian/Thai/South East Asian eateries, but rather a Japanese curry roux which is exceptionally mild with an almost sweet taste to it. Complemented with the crispy breaded pork-chops it makes for a really satisfying meal. 

In conclusion Misato isn't somewhere that you'll find refined, elegant Japanese cuisine, but rather dishes that will fill you up and warm you up on a cold day :)

Excellent food, large portions, prompt, friendly service. What's not to like?
We queued (inside) for less than 10 minutes on a Sunday evening. Decor is basic and the restaurant is packed and noisy. Overall we felt we got more than we expected and would happily come back. The Sashimi Benton box was a winner. The avocado Ngiri is really creamy and melts in your mouth.

In terms of popular demand, this place has it captured. There is a never ending queue and I always wondered why it was so popular until I ate there for the first time and realised its merits.

Although the inside is not particularly well decorated, it does a great job of what it is supposed to, i.e. serving hearty delicious Asian food.

The portions are huge (most of my friends have take-away packages of leftovers!) I love the Chicken Katsu Curry and all of their noodle soup dishes.

This place alwaysssssss has a queue outside it even without the name board on the building. What does that tell you?

With green and pink outdoors and no name of the restaurant on the outside, it would be hard to guess you can get such amazing Japanese food in there. The price is meager compared to the humongous portions you get. The service is fast, typical Japanese canteen style. The sushi is fresh and keeps you wanting for more.

I love the katsu curry and the teriyaki katsu curry, my usual orders at this place. Worth queuing for definitely. Perfect to eat here before a pub crawl. The price is definitely the best you can get in that area, that is why this place is flocked by students.

Best value dive in Chinatown with generous portions. I've been coming here for almost twenty years, though the last time I was here could have been eight years ago. With the cost of living going up, I had been thinking prices for eating out were a bit high. I wondered if Misato was still around and thankfully it is. Usually there is a queue, but we were there around 9pm on a Thursday evening and only waited 5 minutes. I remember waiting for more than half an hour years ago as we would go at peak times - we were amateurs back then. :p I had the chicken teriyaki and my friend had the fried chicken. Both were good. It's a great casual place - very student vibey and chilled. I'll be going back and hopefully it will be around for another twenty years. I highly recommend Misato's.

Dropped by here to pick up some Chicken Katsu Curry for lunch. The service was friendly, prices were fair and portions were good. It's wasn't the tastiest Katsu I've had, but it was good nonetheless.

Read about this place online and both love good Katsu and we were not disappointed. It is a small and informal space but don't let that put you off. The food was excellent and well priced. Service was great too.

Soul food in the middle of China Town, small but nice. The prices are reasonable, a varied selection of dishes, the portions are perfectly adequate and the service is courteous and friendly. Unfortunately not barrier free.

It looks small from the front but opens up inside. We were looking for an affordable but delicious place in China Town. The menu had some things I hadn't seen at other places (cold udon which I had been craving for a while) and they seated us quickly. The menu is very cute with the pink! And the prices are very good for central. We got a sushi to start, my friend got a curry and I got the cold udon. Came out promptly and tasted delicious! Definitely my go to for a cheap bite in central!!!

An unpretentious Japanese restaurant, I think it's the best in the area. The food is good but nothing exceptional or out of the ordinary. A few smiles in the room from the waiters would have made the atmosphere more pleasant.

Such a good place to eat, reasonable prices for the area and good quantity. In my case, 5 people had dinner.

A great quick cheap eat in Central London. We both had the regular chicken katsu curry. There was a large size option but we both agreed the regular was plenty big. Flavour wise the dish was good. However the curry flavour was certainly not the same as what you would get at wasabi or yo sushi. I found it more citrusy and it didn't have little chunks of carrot or potato. I've not been to Japan so I'm not sure what the proper way to make it is but just pointing out the difference. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing. I also ordered an Inari pocket which was larger than the standard size you would get in a supermarket or at yo sushi. Was really good and would defo recommend but maybe not if you've just had another big rice dish. Overall I would go here again. It's a no frills bargain place to stop and eat while in Central London. Great if you're a tourist or a local. As I was out without my daughter I didn't check if there was a baby change facility and I didn't notice any high chairs. Honestly though I probably wouldn't recommend with small babies and small toddlers. It's quite a tightly packed restaurant so not a lot of space for a buggy. On the other hand, older children would be fine here.
