"The atmosphere is lovely inside- service is great too."
"Service is quick and friendly."
Cons:
"However, when I stepped out of the restaurant around 1300, I saw a really long queue."
"However, service was a bit slow and laid back."
"Last 3 visits for last 2 weeks, we wait our order about 30 minutes and today ramen for me was in 38 minutes and salmon teriyaki bento for my wife was in 46 minutes."

Food Quality
Pros:
"Their menu is extensive, and all items have accompanying photos to help decide which dishes to order."
"The food, especially the Bento Boxes and sushi rolls are all tasty and it's also relatively cheap!"
"Amazing food as always."
"Really great value for your money."
"The freshness of the ingredients and the skillful preparation truly elevated the dining experience."
"Sushi is also great. I can taste the actual Japanese's flavours and their philosophy in every mouth full."
"The sushi at Eat Tokyo was nothing short of amazing, each piece crafted with precision and bursting with authentic flavors."
Cons:
"Not all the food we ordered were nice."
"A long wait to get a table, really bad food (ramen was a joke, sushi was just disgusting)."
"Food wise... tuna was bad and doesn't look fresh, as you can see in the picture."
"The food is terrible. It's bland and has no inspiration."
"I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the tempura meal that I ordered."
"The photo that they show on a menu is a lie! I ordered a salmon Donbury...it didn't look anything like the photo- 5 or 6 tiny peaces compared to at least twice that amount to the top image that they show on the photo."
"The food was not that appealing when you know that eat Tokyo offers better in other branches."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Eat Tokyo is a good choice for students like myself who cannot really spend more than £10/15 on a meal and it being really filling as well."
"The sushis are definitely value for money with nothing too exceptional to offer but not bad either."
"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:
"It was so disappointing because the price has gone up and the potions became smaller."
"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."
"No one will clean your table even tho you’re out of space for next dishes."
Ambience

Cons:
"The place can get a bit stuffy if full as tables are close to each other."
"The ambience is a typical basic restaurant and gets the purpose fulfilled but nothing fascinating or exciting about it."
"The biggest problem I have with the place is how noisy it is."
"It's not very clean in there, the decoration are all dusty."
"Don't expect any atmosphere as it's just a moderate restaurant."

Cons:
