Tasty. Good choice of Japanese authentic dishes. From small dishes, fresh sashimi, udon set. Also choices of sakes and choshu. This is a sukiyaki pot which has fresh vegetable and thin slices of beef.
Fairly priced, tasty and authentic Japanese food. I've only been here once but I plan on going here again in the future. Service was prompt.
This place is etched in my memory. I still remember the first time I came here some five years ago. I ordered the tofu steak, nasu dengaku amongst a few other dishes. I always have the tofu steak every time I come back. The sushi is fresh and there is a great selection. It is a family run restaurant in walking distance from Baker Street. You can eat at the sushi counter on a bar stool and see the sushi being prepared or you can sit at a table in the main restaurant. The prices are reasonable and it is one of those classic restaurants where it is just about good reliable food. You will therefore find people coming for business lunches, students, tourists and native Japanese all eating here.
Another gem!. Another restaurant which should be listed among the "Elite London Japanese", I found many similarities with Asakusa as confirmed by one of the senior waitress. However, better ambiance, service and presentation, therefore prices are higher. Top notch!
Delicious, fresh and very reasonably priced Japanese food. Interior could do with and upgrade but otherwise a wonderful place to dine and I highly recommend it! Staff were lovely and friendly.
Tucked away in a corner of London, the restaurant is an absolute delight, cheap affordable and exquisite food. Must try for sushi lovers
Delightful meal with the wife. The decor looks like it's stuck in 1980s Japan, but we didn't go there for the atmosphere. We went there for the excellent Japanese cooking. Superb. We always enjoy ourselves when we go there. The quality of the fish and the derive was impeccable.
Went here for lunch with colleagues and were glad we arrived in time before the lunch crowd. The option size was reasonable. The dining area is cozy and expect the place to be noisy during rush hour. Had the broiled eel set lunch. The rice was a tad drier than expected. Staff were friendly. If you come during 13:00-14:00, expect long wait and line.
A very authentic Japanese restaurant hidden on Baker Street. Staff were attentive, service was quick, food was delicious. Expect to pay around £60 per person for dinner.
We had a lovely date night at Nambu-Tei for our anniversary. They had good services with lovely staff members. I especially enjoyed the tempura and sashimi platter. I also love the miso soup on the side which was served with the eel rice bowl. However, I probably expected the sushi rice should be more flavourful in another way. Overall, this is one of the best restaurant for people who would like to try authentic Japanese foods with reasonable price in a relaxing atmosphere.
Came here twice in a week! It showed how good this restaurant is. The chefs and restaurant staffs are all Japanese 😀 loving the atmosphere the restaurant has offered. They do really good lunch Bento box within £15-£20 budget. Went for the high range one for the variety it has offered. Delicious!
Authentic and good-value Japanese casual affaire! Spacious seating and unpretentious 1990s décor - love it! Fully Japanese waiting staff who are professional, patient and extremely polite. A well chosen Sāke and Soju selection and cooked Japanese homely dishes. An equivalent to a high-end Izakaya 居酒屋 or an Yatei 屋亭 (Japanese street side Izakayas) - but in London! Saw plenty of Japanese business people having group dinners. Must say that their cooked dishes are done far better than their sushi or sashimi offerings. Dishes are still well presented considering the price! Will be a frequent spot for me!
Good quality japanese food, but a bit pricey. The bento sets are about £17. Many to choose from. Lunch sets are also available from £11. Ive been here a few times. can be very busy lunch time.
BBQ eel had a very tender texture and was full of flavour. Would have preferred teriyaki sauce rather than soy sauce on the rice underneath though. Interesting decor and friendly staff. It was very nice being offered a tea when waiting for takeaway.
They serve authentic Japanese food. Love all the dishes and especially I like how they cut the sashimi. It was so thick! Highly recommend and definitely I’ll visit here again for Japanese food.
I would recommend this place for lunch. Their lunch specials are good values with the portion and quality of the food. Fast and affordable. Service has always been an area for improvement (friendly staff but not familiar with the dishes necessarily). Still, a good place for lunch and with student discount.
Shabu shabu is great, decent price too. Nam I tei has everything you need in a Japanese restaurant. Been visiting here regularly for five years now, highly recommended.
Very cozy Japanese restaurant. I used to live in Japan for 25 years and recommend this restaurant! It’s not so expensive. Rush hour is 1pm.
Nice food and nice environment. Tamogoyaki and jellyfish in seaseme sauce is nice. The salmon and roe rich and chiruzazen is delicious (except that the rice portion is alot). Strongly recommended.
The place and food has the look of an authentic Japanese restaurant, but thought the price for a lunch set was a bit too expensive
I’m Japanese. That’s real Japanese Izakaya(pub). No difference from Japan one. So a Japanese,who lives away from home for work in UK, has used here for dinner. My recommendation is extra sized Japanese curry.
The food? Amazing. The service? The sweetest. The ambiance? Minimal, which is great because you can focus on the food!! Definitely coming back here again.
The two of us got Anahi nabe, ox tongue, niku-jaga, salmon jaw, hiyashi sansai soba, and a fried pork cutlet rice. It was plenty of food and we probably could’ve ordered one or two fewer dishes and still be full. Everything was so authentic! The ox tongue is extremely delicious. The beef is dry in niku-jaga but I think it’s intended. Salmon jaw sounds bold but it’s not too different from regular salmon and is delicious. Great soba too. Would definitely recommend!
