I absolutely loved the experience at Abeno! I have been there a week ago and loved the food! It's cool to see the waiter/chef cook right in front of you, the atmosphere in the restaurant is very relaxing and it seemed like everyone working there could speak Japanese as well! More

We went there 2 weeks ago, after having seen all the positive reviews on the web, and we have not been disappointed! The restaurant is in the centre of London and has a real Japanese style, with a minimalist decor (positively). Each table has its hotplate in the middle and food is cooked in front of you. This is the... More

On the basis of others' recommendations, we ate here on a late Saturday lunchtime (we hadn't reserved and there were no tables when we first stopped by, so we put our names down and loitered for a while). Starters of avocado and tofu gyoza, and other gyoza cooked fresh on the hotplate, were delicious, as were the cocktails we had... More

This is my favourite Japonese restaurant, I can only describe it as divine all is fresh and tasty as well as exotic exciting,Okonomiyaki (Abeno special) is awesome. Service is each day getting better and better. Happy with Abeno for a long run. More

I had tempura and gyozo for side dish, honestly the gyozo I have had. Ever. As a main dish we ordered onomi-yaki with different ingredients, all delicious. Sevice impeccable, nice atmosphere, I must say even the simple chardonnay we ordered was very good, it was a surprise! I definitely recommend it. More

Arrived at a pretty late time for a late night dinner, 10.30 so was told last order was 11.30. Ordered the squid okonomikayi and the chicken yaki-soba with a small dish of seaweed salad on the side. The food was very delicious. Stayed till closing and staff didn't rush us at all even though we were the last customers left.... More

I had never eaten in a Japanese restaurant but Disny Buddy hjad boarded in Japan and was raving about the Okanomiyaki that they did here. I thought what the heck. So we went. He had to book ahead as it is a very small joint. Most of the food is cooked in the hotplate right at the table, a new... More

Abeno specialises in okonomiyaki, which is hard to find in London and has some good nostalgia value for anyone who has lived in Japan. At Abeno the okonomiyaki is prepared on a hot plate embedded in the table in front of you. The service, though certainly friendly and polite, was a bit cack-handed: we ordered set lunches which should have... More

I was impressed by this restaurant, especially given its location (next to the British Museum) - we stumbled upon it after visiting that amazing museum, and after checking the reviews here, decided to give it a shot. My companion, who is more experienced with this dish, thought it was great compared to our NYC implementations. We got one shrimp and... More
