Itsu offers coffee (I got some) and they also have these amazing bottled waters - get their peach and lychee flavor! Chef's kiss. Credit accepted. Prices are high (you're in an airport) but not outrageous. Looking for power? There's a few charging tables nearby with a variety of outlets. Next time I'm at LHR, I'll be back for a fancy bottled water. [1] Anyone remember when drug stores in NYC offered sushi? Do they still do that?

(Especially like a person from Hawaii like me!) Flew threw LHR several times over the past few years and first noticed this place in 2019. If there is a line, it isn't very long and moves fast. Got places to sit down and have some charging ports . Food selection is somewhat limited with salmon Inari or Maki style sushi, got some salads, or if you want something hot, got won ton or chicken bowls and a few other things. I find it convenient since it is right next to a sitting area if you have to make a connection but your flight gate # has not yet been announced. Unlike some of the worn, high volume, highly used ports that may not work in (free) sitting area outside, so far all the ports and outlets have worked in the dining area here! So a place that I've come to stop by almost every time for a quick bite to eat at LHR!

Me and 4 of my friends were wanting to eat Japanese food. I'm not sure who chose this place, but it…read morewas fine. We ordered a bunch of food. Ramen, Amaebi, Salmon nigiri and sashimi, Karaage chicken, prawn fried rice and vegetable gyoza. First off, the fish was really fresh and that's always the number one thing. The amaebi (sweet shrimp) was different than what I normally have. Normally the amaebi would come served raw and the head would come deep fried separately. The head was not served, but it was probably due to their customer base. The Karaage chicken was very tasty. We all thought the fried rice could have used more flavor. In the end, we ate everything. Staff was very friendly. I would rate it 3.5 stars.

This is one of the few sit-down restaurants in Terminal 3 at LHR. We had lots of time before our…read moreflight and decided to check it out. You sit at communal tables without backs (which isn't the most comfy), but the menu is extensive and healthy. We ordered teriyaki noodles and yakisoba noodles with shrimp, and both were good. They were very mildly spiced, though, and we both needed the seasoning spice that was on the table. I guess I was expecting more authentic and bold flavors, but this is very, very mild (perfect for fussy eaters and kids). PROS: * free hot green tea * scan a QR code to pay so no need to wait around for a slow server * plenty of healthy, vegetarian, and vegan food options * good cocktail menu for a pre-flight tipple * chopsticks, forks, and sauces on every table CONS: * service is mostly nonexistent; a server will take your order and deliver your food, but you won't see them again after that. * the kitchen is slow, so allow around 30 minutes to get your food (a real problem if you're in a rush to catch a flight) * uncomfortable picnic style, communal seating I would probably eat here again the next time I'm flying out of Heathrow, especially because there aren't many other sit down options in Terminal 3.

After hoofing around in search of a dinner joint I returned to Sushi Nara, one of the first places…read moreI'd seen. Staines didn't appear to have a great selection of restaurants but with Sushi Nara being as satisfying as it proved to be, they need not. A pleasantly generic decor gave no hint of the diversity of Sushi Nara's menu, not in Japanese cuisine as expected, but in a full-range of Korean fare as well. And because I didn't find the UK brimming with a great array of sushi (salmon and tuna seem to comprise 98% of the offerings), the Korean offerings were a welcome treat. The next question, as I'm suspect of places specializing in multiple cuisines, was: How good would that Korean fare (or Japanese fare) actually be? Good, quite good. The Nara Bento (£16.90) was a nice array of food: filling, fresh tasting, as varied as it needed to be, and well-presented. The Beef Dolsot Bibimbap (£9.50) and Kimchi (£2.20) were equally satisfying. I'd likely look askance were I to find a restaurant back home (San Francisco Bay Area) trading in both Japanese and Korean fare but here in Staines they pulled it off with mastery. If they opened up a second outpost in my neighborhood I'd be there.

So my initial challenge was to find a place to have a nice dinner as I didn't know the area. So a lot may have changed since my visit, but I believe this was a well deserved rating as the ambiance was quiet, and quaint. The service was good and the food was definitely satisfying, as I was craving some Japanese food. If I'm ever in the area again, and craving Japanese food, I'd go back. So enjoy and I hope the quality is just as good as when I was there.

It was quiet on an early Sunday evening, but the service was extra attentive and I love the semi-upscale Japanese aesthetic - we were seated next to a pretty aquarium and given cloth napkins and real wooden chopsticks. The vegetarian options excited me the most, and I ordered the Vegetarian Duck Teriyaki. It was really interesting because I'd never had any duck-related veg food, so I had to try it. The teriyaki flavor was a bit overwhelming, maybe too much sauce, but I still gobbled it up. My friend would have given her actual duck teppanyaki dish and the whole experience five stars, she loved it so much. I would definitely go back and try another one of their veg dishes!

In fact, Surrey as a whole doesn't have a foodie feel, unlike areas west of London like Berkshire, which is full of Michelin starred establishments. So, I was very excited to see Makiyaki's sign over the door of this restaurant site. This had housed Oliver's in the past, one of my favourite restaurants in Epsom which sadly closed. A Japanese restaurant is certainly a novelty in this part of Surrey and they've opened in Epsom's own restaurant row area of South Street.. Makiyaki will however be able to draw on the experience of their established sister restaurant of the same name in south Wimbledon. They've initially opened up just the ground floor, going with a modern theme, complete with jazz music. The menu leans strongly towards sushi with half the menu dominated by a great variety of rolls, all complete with photo. There are cooked options for the squeamish as well as the traditional raw fish. You'll also find Japanese stalwarts on the menu as well as the occasional Asian interloper like Korean bulgogi. My starter of chicken karaage came as about 10 moist bite size bits of chicken in crispy seasoned batter served with sweet chilli dipping sauce. It's easy to dry out this dish but this was an excellent version. For main, I went for the special sashimi set. This started off with a bowl of miso soup and some Japanese salad, which was covered in a moreish dressing. Then, the piece de resistance. A beautifully presented slab on which was placed 3 very generous slices each of salmon, tuna, yellowtail and sea bass as well as 3 slices of California roll. A little hill of gari (pickled ginger to clean your palate between mouthfuls) and wasabi completed the plate. The glistening look and clean smell of the fish revealed its first class sourcing and it was lovely to chew and savour each thick slice. The pricing, as for most Japanese food, isn't cheap but for this quality, it's value for money. The food is also available for takeaway. The presence of a Japanese restaurant in the heart of Surrey brings a big smile to my face. Is Epsom ready for raw fish? I certainly hope so!
