Ichi Sushi and Sashimi Bar

True sushi aficionados will appreciate the just-caught freshness found in the selection of fish and the outstanding quality of the restaurant’s rice. With its impressive views of Big Ben, guests will feel as if an intimate upscale Tokyo sushi bar has been relocated to London. All of the dishes will be made to order at the counter by the restaurant’s team of experienced sushi chefs.
This intimate London sushi restaurant is cool and contemporary in design with a choice of seating at the sushi bar, watching the skilled sushi chef’s or at tables throughout the restaurant. This contemporary South Bank Japanese restaurant is ideally located near the London Eye, Houses of Parliament, National Theatre and Royal Festival Hall.

Since the Romans left, the Italians have been operating a policy of conquering the world's palate, plate by plate, and traditionally-run family restaurants like Cotto are their failsafe. The welcome is unfailingly warm here, the decor is authentic in feel, with murals on the walls, and the pleasures of the table are taken seriously indeed. Cotto is a 5-minute walk from the London Eye and the Aquarium, perfect for before or after family outings and it's also very popular with business customers during the week. There's live music on offer, too. As for the menu, try classic Tricolor salad to start, one of more than a dozen pastas, like Spaghetti carbonara, and a main course of simply and beautifully grilled Sirloin steak. Or just opt for a pizza and be happy!

Tiny tiny OKONOMIYAKI canteen next to the London Eye. Okan means Mother in OSAKA direct. Enjoy mummy ‘s home cooking! There's no need to fly all the way to Japan. Just step through our door and you'll feel like you're in a back street in OSAKA. Great Sake and Small Izakaya tapas dishes.

This is positioned as Japanese street food, so a small crowded space is in keeping with what one should expect. I've been four times now, and I've enjoyed every dish. Last night we sat directly across from the chef, so we saw the food being prepared. It's done with care and precision. I really enjoy this place. The service was efficient, so we had no trouble making it to the IMAX in time for a film after dinner.

We had a very nice welcome at the door and were shown to our table. There is a very good selection of drinks and these were nicely and swiftly served. The food was outstanding and we felt the chef had really tried hard. The two waiting staff were both excellent.

We were greeted by really lovely members of the team, I arrived a fair bit early and there was no problem with me sitting at the table whilst I waited for my party to arrive. The food was good and the service continued to be top notch. We were surprised as had walked past the restaurant so often in the past, definitely one to come back to.
