    Decent sushi, and food but the service leaves a lot to be desired in the few times I have been there.

    Really good sushi

    Being in Camden and serving damn good food, this place is unsurprisingly busy, so you might have to wait for a table if you haven't booked. I reckon it's worth the wait though - not the cheapest restaurant in the world, but still good value and the sushi is really fresh and excellent quality. The bento boxes are great too. The waiters can look a little fraught, but overall my experience of the service has bene good (though I know some reviewers have had negative experiences). It also gets a bit noisy - especially if you're two people sitting next to a table of 6 people being drunk and loud - but the positives outweight the negatives and I'll be going back.

    An Excellent place for lunch if you work in the area. It might not be the mind blowing bento/sushi experience you're looking for but its always tasty and there is plenty to choose from. Fairly affordable and filling without making you too sleepy to go back to work.

    The one downside is they still allow smoking, so if this bothers you prepare to be dissapointed.

    Otherwise a place a like to frequent.

    I'd forgotten about this place until I was browsing the site. This little restaurant is a little forgettable all round really. I like my Japanese food, sushi, sashimi, bento, it is all good. This place does it all well, not really memorable for anything, it is just one of an increasing number of japanese restaurants in the capital.

    If you are in Camden and looking for somewhere reasonable to eat then this is deffinately a good place to try, but don't make a trip for it.

    Bent on sushi..

    Similar to Cafe Japan in terms of food (good but nothing amazing), it's a nice little place to go to if you're in Camden as it's right next to the station and opposite Jazz Cafe. The staff is friendly and the restaurant big enough to accommodate a large group of people.

    You can see I love sushi

    So if Asakusa is the authentic kick-ass sushi place and Nobu the uber-trendy, but uber-expensive japanese restaurant, then Bento falls somewhere in the middle. The food is good, the prices reasonable and the staff are really friendly and will fill up your green-tea cup as soon as it finishes. The usual menu applies, but I have to say that every time that I got something on a hot-plate it was not that great.

    Great little place overall if you're around Camden.Its location next to the Jazz Cafe also makes it an ideal pre-night out choice
