This was a random "walk-in", it was a hot and humid evening and our criteria was air-conditioning and a light meal.
The icy blast of cool air on my face as we entered meant that our seach was over; lets see how the menu fares.
The restraunt is cozy with around eight tables, as it filled with patrons the acoustics made it difficult for conversation; the table next to us was in a corner and thier voices seemed amplified by the location.
After a look through the menu, the set-menu appeared to fit the criteria of a "light meal".
The choices were any three starters with any main dish and a bowl of rice.
The dishes arrived in stages which allowed us to savour the flavours without rushing.
At the end of the meal we felt pleasantly satisfied and not overly full; just what we wanted on this hot sticky evening.
I can say it was a great experience.
Obon is a restaurant that I visit every time when I come to the UK. Im really happy to hear that Obon has opened a second store in Teddington. I guarantee that the quality of sushi is the best in the UK. The quality and taste of the fish are top!. The thickness of the sushi is really thick and fresh than anywhere else. I would like to come again even the price goes higher.
I recently went to a Michelin Japanese and I can say I’d rather not go there and just spent the money with Obon instead. Yes the menu isn’t extensive but everything is done perfectly and the quality of food is amazing too. I loved the yakitori skewers, they were so juicy and tender (I wasn’t particularly thrilled by the quail eggs tho). The sushi and sashimi were fresh, both grilled eel and sea bass were also cooked just right and melting in the mouth. And the starters such as takoyaki, tempura, even the salad and pickles were delicious too. I have already been there twice in 2 weeks and I would recommend anyone in and around the area to visit (be sure to book as the restaurant is not big).
An improvement would be the desserts, there’s not a lot of choices and the dorayaki seemed shop bought and microwaved so it was half warm and half cold (but I still went back so don’t let that put you off too)
Fabulous food. Sushi is so fresh and delicious. I would like to come back to try this lovely food again. Reasonable price too! Also, the manager is so kind and friendly which make the atmosphere even better.
I always love Obon's sushi and sashimi. Now I found the grill dishes are also great!! Obon Teddington is available for lunch from Tuesday to Saturday and we are very happy with their lunch sets.
This is it. This is what Teddington High Street needed. Obon feels both fresh and authentic. We had the Udon Lunch Bowl, which was home to a fantastic broth and succulent noodles.The accompanying prawn tempura was airy and light, the best I've had in a while. Wrapped up with two unique scoops of ice cream; sesame and green tea. It was a delightful expierence, look forward to returning.
Very tasty food and good service. We had the grilled eel menu and the raw fish selection for 2 people, which was quite large - raw octupus and just one type of fish would have been enough for us. We would like to return for the soup and lunch specials.
Excellent food and amazing service! Came here for dinner with my parents, we had a mixture of the chefs selection and each mouthful was delicious. 100% recommend and will be back for more!
Had lunch at Ubon yesterday. Sashimi was really fresh. I recommend the pickle salad to go with Sashimi. Staff and owners are very friendly too. Will head back for dinner sometime soon!
Took my family to the Teddington branch of Obon this evening for a dinner to celebrate the end of GCSE's and A level exams for two of my children. It was a truly a special occasion with wonderful ambience, service and food. We ordered a variety of dishes and it was all excellent -fresh and superbly cooked. The stand out food was the black cod and the ika (Squid) tempura, but I felt like I would have enjoyed anything from the menu.
Excellent food and incredibly personal and friendly service. I found a true gem in Teddington High street. Highly recommend.
Food was absolutely amazing! Both from the sushi and the grill. Particular standouts to me were the grilled chicken skewers and the nigiri platter, just wow! The salmon belly melted right in your mouth and the Tuna was out of this world. Definitely recommend, the staff and chefs were all super friendly and welcoming, and overall the setting was relaxing and happy. Will be going back for sure!
Definitely the best sushi restaurant you can experience at this price level and the level above. The quality of fish is unrivalled and the chef is very skilled.
Love the sashimi salad, dragon sushi, and grilled chicken thigh! A warm and cosy atmosphere. Toilet clean and tidy. Thank you Chef.
Can here with my family. Loved all the food especially the sashimi. We got the special Blufin tuna which was delicious. Great atmosphere and service was wonderful.
Wow what a gem nestled in on Teddington Highstreet. I visited the restaurant with a friend and was blown away with choice and variety of cuisine coupled with quality and good customer service. Definitely be back !!! Hats off to the chef !
