Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Eat Tokyo is always not too heavy on your wallet so I would still recommend the place for their great menu and price."
  • "Been here several times and there’s usually quite a queue for entry at dinner time! But the food is good with very generous portions and probably best value for money for Japanese food in central London."
  • "A very popular sushi restaurant for two reasons - good quality food, and inexpensive for London's standard."
  • "Prices are super small for such a great quality."
  • "The price is more than reasonable and offers excellent value for money."

Cons:

  • "However, I removed one star because of the state of the bathroom and overall cleanliness is really not the best."
  • "The prices aren't that cheap."
  • "The price is definitely overpriced to what it should be."
  • "It can be way too pricy for what you get."
  • "Same with the place, too small and too many clients."
