We decided to hop over there to try a few of their rolls. Unfortunately we were in a bit of a time crunch and would have appreciated if they offered takeout/ take-away, however, they do not.

We were hoping to find Caterpillar roll or some roll with avocado and protein; they do not have a wide selection. We ended up just getting an avocado roll, which was simply sushi rice, seaweed, and avocado.

I've had this sort of table service before in Japan, and I gotta say that Abeno hits the mark! My fiance and I came here on a Monday evening for dinner a while back and luckily did not have to wait for a table (since we didn't have a reservation). We started with the agedashi tofu which was phenomenal, and then we moved into the okonomiyaki itself. We opted for two okonomiyakis which was the perfect amount of food for us -- Osaka with pork / kimchi / prawns and Sapporo Mix with squid / prawn / salmon / scallops / corn. The staff cooked everything in front of our eyes and they were very attentive throughout the entire process. Once everything was done cooking, they cut up the okonomiyaki for us, and the finished product was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend!

It was pretty busy but the wait wasn't super long at all. There wasn't much room inside, so plan on getting takeaway. The food was pretty good though! I'd definitely come back for more chicken katsu. The chicken was super crispy, and the curry flavorful and nice. I would've liked some more veggies in my curry... the chirashi roll was just ok. It fell apart easily and the pieces were all stuck together. I probably wouldn't get the chirashi roll again. Overall, I had a good experience here & would come back

We opted for the sit down section in the restaurant, it's a conveyor belt sushi place with quite a lot of seats but still busy during weekday lunch time with city sorts. The food was actually ok, there's a lot of selecton and the conveyor is always full with tempting new options. It's not the freshest but I liked the selection and it had some unusual options. There is also cooked food that you can order at your seat. The service is manic, but its to be expected with the amount of people going through the place. We were seated within 10 mins which was what we were quoted. I thought the price was a little over what I would have expected but you need to remember where this place is situated and the popularity.... It's probably about right. There are other places I go for take away Japanese that are better (and closer to my office) but I like the funky concept of this place and could be persuaded to go back.

So I can say it wasn't bad at all, but it wasn't the beat Sushi I have had. I would go back for sure as the service was good, minus my coworkers chicken dish took forever to come out, as we kept having to check on it. The Uni was definitely not a bad batch as it had a sweetness and creamy texture that I would expect. Amaebi was not the larger shrimp with the fried heads, so not what I was expecting. As for the Natto Rolls, I could tell you that our young waitress made a surprising face, which made me laugh, as I could tell she was from Japan, as I was told not many Japanese even eat Natto. Of course I had to ask later and she is not a fan. Hahaha... I enjoyed it though. Enjoy.

I ordered their ten piece nigiri (17 GBP), grilled miso black cod (12 GBP), and salmon belly age dashi (cooked lightly in a daikon soy based sauce) (7 GBP).

Special mention for the yakitori skewers which are particularly tasty and something I always have to order when coming here! The price is very reasonable and whilst the staff are mostly not Japanese, they know their stuff and everything I've tried here tastes great and full of flavour.

(Not actually served in a bento box.) We waited a long time for our food to arrive. I am talking close to 20 minutes without explanation because we never saw wait staff. Then when it arrived there was not a complete meal. My companion's meal came several minutes before my main dish. It was very disorganized as another table's dishes were served and they arrived after us. Aside from the wait, food was good. We had the grilled spiced pork (bulgogi) and tempura. It comes with rice, salad, pickles and miso soup. There were three prawns and four vegetables in the tempura. Pork serve was a good amount. Overall a good value. They seriously need to work on customer service, not friendly at all. Otherwise you can order take away and enjoy a tasty meal.
