Sometimes there's just nothing wrong with another decent, reasonably-priced restaurant, even if it's not likely to win any awards any time soon. The bento box I had contained nothing truly superb but nothing too awful either. Pork katzo was crispy and pleasant, pickles tasty and the miso soup pretty good too. In fact "pretty good" pretty much sums the place up. Oh and there's a nice surprise at the end too - they don't accept tips!]]> Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:26:28 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1751r7g/tokyo-diner/1s2aa72099063141 chrisp 51.511149507332 -0.12947988128419 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1751r7g/tokyo-diner/1s03k8

To be honest, it's not really the best place for sushi with a limited selection but there are some good points.

They have a very good tonkatsu curry. The pork stayed crispy for a long time, the curry is just the right amount of spicyness and has good flavour. You can also ask for extra rice if you can manage it!

I also like the aubergine starter (haven't had it better anywhere else!)

Service is decent but it might feel a bit cramped for tall people!]]> Mon, 23 Jul 2007 21:41:38 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1751r7g/tokyo-diner/1s03k881276122 lenalouise 51.511149507332 -0.12947988128419 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1751r7g/tokyo-diner/1062n8

Perfectly reasonable Japanese place but no more - the service isn't amazing but the food is quite tasty and reasonably authentic. The little notes on the tables explaining their tipping policy (none allowed) and attitude to farmed tuna are a nice touch.

However it lets itself down with no sashimi or tempura on the menu. And it's fairly no frills in terms of service. But it's good as a place to pop in for a quick meal, especially for lunch.]]> Sun, 01 Apr 2007 15:02:17 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1751r7g/tokyo-diner/1062n880284107 qwghlm 51.511149507332 -0.12947988128419 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1751r7g/tokyo-diner/1f6158

The Tokyo Diner tries very hard to give customers an authentic japanese experience with sliding doors, traditional artwork on the walls, minimalist seating (not on the floor, but benches), and also a polite note about tipping not being expected or wanted, with any money left on the table being donated to charity (The Japanese do not have a culture of tipping for service).
This is all very nice, however the food itself is not the best and within a 5 min walk there are at least 3 other japanese restaurants that are really excellent, Misato being my one of choice. Don't get me wrong, the food is very good and I'd happily eat there, but there is much better to be had for less money (even including a tip!).]]> Thu, 01 Mar 2007 22:46:19 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1751r7g/tokyo-diner/1f61582026204225 ragados 51.511149507332 -0.12947988128419
