This is my favourite informal Japanese restaurant in London. The set menu’s are great value for money - just under £20 for the sashimi dinner which comes with rice, tempura prawns and vegetables, agadeshi tofu, terriyaki chicken and of course a variety of sashimi. Also included is dessert; a scoop of pretty good ice cream.

There are other set menu’s too which are slightly cheaper, and overall an excellent range of sushi, sashimi, noodles and rice dishes on offer. Great value for money and highly recommended.

Lookin g rather drab and uninspiring from the outside, this place rocks inside!

The sashami was perfect. I never thought it could ever taste this good on this side of the world.

I can’t believe more people don’t rave about this place. I can understand the packed and crowded atmos. and I think line-ups for lunch are going to start in a short time!

Having recently been to Japan and eaten out all the time, this place takes me right back.

We were seated downstairs and handed a hand-made menu cover containing the menu written in Japanese first, then translated into English.

The tempura was divine. It is almost impossible to find perfectly cooked shrimp anywhere and yet this place had it cracked. The meal with it was so filling, we could not stuff another bite in.

The chicken teriyaki was so filling, my friend simply could not finish it.

Great value and excellent food. First chance you get, if you like Japanese food, go here. Even if you don’t like Japanese food, try this place out as it’ll convert you.

Ten Ten Tei is nothing special to look at, in fact it's decidedly unpretty and rather cramped, but the food here is out-of-this-world. It's as though the owners took all the money they saved on decor and spent it on chefs instead. The sushi and sashimi are such perfection that I really don't mind practically sitting on the lap of the person next to me. If anything, the lack of personal space makes the experience feel more authentically Asian. Excellent and fairly priced.
