Reviews for The Japanese Canteen

I usually go for the ginger chicken bento box, which at £6.50 isn't the cheapest lunch around, especially if you're just looking for a change from a £2.00 sarnie. however, it is quite tasty, you get a few extras like miso soup, sesame spinach salad and pickled cucumber.

However, I've found their food preparation to be a bit hit and miss. The first time I had it, I discovered a ginger chicken nirvana in my mouth which they have yet to replicate. Maybe a change of menu item is warranted, but it would be nice to have a bit more consistency.

then you certainly can do worse; however, I generally find them over priced and not terribly interesting. Good in a pinch, but not much else.

I had only have take out lunch at this place, but I was impressed by the food quality. The chicken katsu was spotted on and the portion is generous. Even the regular size will fill you up for lunch, and the large is almost double! Service looks a bit chaotic but is actually really fast and efficient. It's a shame that it locates too far from my office to make it a regular lunch place.
