Marco van HaaftenNovember 29, 2018Fantastic food cooked right in front of you. Amazing combination. Gyoza like I’ve never had before. Will definitely go back. Make sure to book a table well in advance.
Upvoted Mar 21- Lauren KeithJanuary 28, 2018A delicious take on Japanese food that I haven't seen anywhere else. The swirls are made in front of your very eyes at your table in seven stages and topped with fish flakes: http://bit.ly/2BytVpJ
Kornelija MaceviciuteJanuary 30, 2018The best place for Japaneese food! Just grab some okonomyaki (cooked in front of you) and umeshu with it and enjoy. It gets really hot in the restaurant. Will not be a quick meal, so take time.
- Dan CunninghamAugust 11, 2013Get the obonomi-yaki and enjoy an enthralling experience as these Japanese omelettes are artfully prepared in front of your eyes. Get all the toppings including the fish flakes!
aanwarMay 8, 2017Hands down one of the best Japanese restaurants I've been to! Get the Chicken and Cheese Okonomiyaki, Sapporo Beer, and Matcha Ice Cream.
Jon WilksAugust 27, 2013In terms of authenticity, one of the best Japanese restaurants in London. Don't expect any high-end sushi joint: this is okonomiyaki, plain and simple, just like Okaasan used to make. Book ahead.
Dani TustinDecember 10, 2018Tableside okonomiyaki...need I say more? The Tokyo style was delicious and the deluxe size was perfect for one.
Gordon THOMPSONMay 23, 2015They prepare the food at the table, doing it this way for 16 years and the food is great, but the service is as slow as a 'slug on Valium' and the choice of beer disappointing. If you have time try it
VictoriaNovember 30, 2023Words cannot describe this place. I feel like I am in Japan 🇯🇵. Please do try their dessert! They are brilliant ❤️
Nhan NgoDecember 22, 2015The okonomiyaki was good with a good amount of "fillings"/ingredients. Even better then some I had in Japan.
Melissa AtwellAugust 9, 2013This is a fantastic Japanese restaurant! The okonomi-yaki was delicious, as was the tepanyaki. Get the Mio sparkling sake! Attentive staff, and clean food preparation. Highly recommended!
MaríaOctober 18, 2015It takes a while to get the okonomiyaki ready, but it is SO worth it. Check out the seasonal menu, it's also full of wonders.
Josh TaroliMarch 3, 2016Fun experience, take the Japanese pancakes (Tokyo is a good choice) food is 'cooked' on the table. (10-18£)
Rinat AshkenaziOctober 28, 2014Nice little place. We had just starters to share and the gyoza was very good. Just make sure your not wearing anything special, as you will come out smelling like food.
Güneş BayırMarch 9, 2019healthy food with lots of ingredients! lots of choices exist, we tried the daily special.
yashJuly 1, 2017my first time having okonomiyaki, they made it right in front of us and it tasted quite good; can't wait to return
Caroline Dal MoroFebruary 25, 2015Don't miss this one! Very close to the British Museum. Abeno makes great Okonomi-yakis! Best restaurant in London!
Susan LohSeptember 15, 2014okonomiyaki takes some time to prepare so ordered some appetizers. if they have eggplant on the specials list, get it.
Mark J.October 14, 2017Some of the best and most authentic Japanese food in London! Definitely a fan and definitely worth the price
M WNovember 3, 2014Best okonomiyaki west of Osaka. Matcha ice cream is home made and you'll be hard pressed to find better.
Saba DenizJuly 25, 2019Everything is organic and u can find lots of glutenfree opsions. Good taste and different ecperience.
RAY AAlAJune 22, 2022I’m so glad to run into this spot, such a great way to end a long day exploring the city
Alessandro MingioneDecember 21, 2014The Okonomiyaki heaven! Abeno has only tables while Abeno Too is more modern and you can eat at a counter.- Kornelija MaceviciuteFebruary 11, 2019If you like Japanese cuisine, you will love this place! Don’t dress to warm though, gets hot from the stoves.
M FMarch 29, 2017Excellent okonomiyakes, good value. I recommend the Tokyo okonomiyake. Good service and Average environment.

Sarah EcksteinSeptember 13, 2014Authentic okonomiyaki made by Japanese staff, but ingredients could be of higher quality
Ama Mckenley-BallantyneAugust 29, 2011Get a table in the middle and don't forget to try the green tea ice cream

"I often come here for lunch or after work and order the Salmon Teriyaki donburi. It takes a little longer to prepare but it is worth it. I also recommend the lettuce wraps. #OptimusApproves"
