Reviews Restaurant Yoshino

Wow, what an experience!! From the beginning we were given great service by the waitress, who talked us through some of the options and discussed the dishes. The food itself was absolutely outstanding, even something that you'd think was basic, a seaweed salad, was served on an ice bed and seasoned beautifully. We particularly loved the house special 'plum wine', and the cod ceviche had to have been one of my favourite dishes. Eating here is truly an experience, the food is exceptional but it's the extras that make it so good.

Delicious dinner! Sushi is 💯, the curry had enormous flavor, the tempura delicate. Service delightful!

We all had an amazing experience here. Our party tried a selection from the menu including some sushi, miso soup and wagyu tartare. Everything we ate was excellent. We were fortunate enough that our waitress, Lisa, cooked the food for us at the table, and she really added to atmosphere. Although she was cooking at the table, she managed to do everything without us feeling that we had a fifth person at the table. She was excellent. Without exception we all aim to return as soon as possible.

I really enjoyed my meal. Wonderful service from all the staff at restaurant Yoshino. Definitely will come back soon 😇

Great anniversary dinner! Amazing food! Excellent service! The first time we walked passed Yoshino was 6 months ago. The moment I checked out the menu, I knew that this is not another generic Japanese restaurant. This is authentic Japanese food. However, I still went online to check the reviews and photos of food. The moment I read some negative reviews, I laughed. Who would walk into an authentic Japanese restaurant in centre London and expect it to be cheap 🤷🏻‍♀️. So I still booked Yoshino for our 5 year anniversary. The restaurant has a warm, cosy ambience, exactly that we’re looking for. We ordered everything through their website. The process is quick and easy. This was our first time in Yoshino and we were overwhelmed by the menu. We want to order EVERYTHING! The host was so friendly and so helpful. She answered all the questions I had about items on the menu. She was so patient and so kind. So we started with Tuna katsu, Tuna Toro Sashimi & Salmon Sashimi. We loved Tuna Toro so much we ended up ordering more. Tuna Toro is thinly sliced chutoro that has been marinated and it just melted in my mouth! We both agreed that the dish we like the most! Then, the restaurant offered the Wagyu Tartare as a gift for our anniversary. We were so touched! Personally Tartare has never been on top of my list but I ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE with the Wagyu Tartare. The black garlic really elevate the dish! Of course, what we were looking for the most is the Yakiniku. My husband (who couldn’t be more British) is not a fan of organs. However, he was willing to try new things. We listened to the recommendation from the host and ordered everything she recommended: ox tongue, chicken liver, honeycomb (hachino-su) and heart (hastu). We strongly recommend hachink-su! I’m Asian but I’m very very picky when it comes to organ meats, especially honeycomb. If it has the slightest smell or toughness, I won’t eat them. Same with chicken liver! Outstanding quality! Not to mention their homemade BBQ sauce! I can eat anything with it! We were so full at this point but my husband still have Houji Cha Ice-cream. I was too full but I had a bite and it was amazing! Nice gelato texture and delicate flavour. I will definitely have some next time. The food was so good, we didn’t take much photos. We just focused on the eating 👌🏻 and thinking about what to order next time and who to bring with us! I only took 2 photos to tease my friends. I wish I took more photos for the review. I don’t write reviews often but I truly enjoyed the meal so much that I feel the need to do so. My only advice to you if you’re considering to visit Yoshino: come with an open mind, an open heart and a will to try authentic Japanese food. You’ll love it! I would also like to thank the chef and the host for such a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely come back with our friends and family in the future.

Amazing restaurant! Very authentic food. We had the set menu which was delicious. I highly recommend this place. The upstairs was a traditional restaurant layout. And the downstairs was like a Japanese pub layout.

Amazing food and meats 🍖 quality are such a great, best bbq we had in London and even better than Japan, also home made vegetable curry must try, They make food from hart 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Highly recommend

I'm not overly familiar with authentic Japanese food, but my boss who's from Japan swears it's the best Japanese BBQ in the city. I can see why, the ingredients were fresh and so delicious. I had their chicken and the rest of the table had ox tongue, and cuts of beef. Everyone absolutely loved the food. We had a couple tempura starters, soft crab and asparagus. Both lovely. We also tried this curry with rice and it was so flavourful and familiar, I'd definitely get it again. Don't sleep on the hojicha ice cream, it's so good.

Unfaltering quality and always friendly owners/managers/staff! Some of the freshest ingredients of any Japanese restaurant in London. Love the Otoro. Their Kaiseki tasting menus are extremely varied and well-balanced. All in all very good value for money. We've been coming to Yoshino for over 10 years and recommend it to anyone in want of a fix of Japanese cuisine in London.
