This is by far the most authentic close as Japan as you can get restaurant I have ever eaten in outside Japan. I lived in Japan and really miss foods like Natto, Hiyayakko, Tamago Kakegohan etc as they aren’t really served anywhere in the west, not even seen them on London, but Yane serves them which made me super happy! The food here is amazing and authentic enough to satisfy my nostalgia for Japan. The service was excellent, the owners are lovely and the interior decor is also pretty cool. They have Japanese noren (the hanging sheets on the doors). No boring typical sushi and ramen here.

Read moreOk here’s the thing… Obviously this restaurant is a great restaurant. We booked lunch here because of the positive reviews. The team are great, the food is tasty, cooked with care and lovely homemade pickles, the venue is well thought out with some lovely features - booths and kitchen side seating and reasonably priced. However, we were a little disappointed by the lack of choice on the menu…Don’t get me wrong the Katsu, Donburi are great but one or two more different dishes - and there are too many to mention from this amazing country would make the menu a little more rounded. I also understand that possibly the onus is on me to read the menu on line prior to reservation. Overall a pleasant lunch with friends.
Nice drink and tea offer
