   A brilliant, little eaterie that has quirky decor, an open kitchen and comfortable vibe. The service was a little slow, e.g. no offer for more drinks and the bill was brought without the offer of dessert. However, the food is impeccable. Every morsel was delicious and great value for money. The range of dishes is perfect and there are veggie options too. We had a fantastic time and I would highly recommend Okan, Waterloo.

   As always, a fantastic place to enjoy a little piece of Osaka in London. It's like being back in Japan... I'd highly recommend the hot plum wine on a cold night.

   Nice authentic Japanese food, lovely small bar feeling but minus is a lack of good ventilation, so lots of smoke smelling clothes afterwards. Overall good food , nice staff, and atmosphere!

   Nicely decorated in authentic Japanese style and friendly staff. Food was fairly average, but not too expensive.

    Been there three times now and always hasn’t disappointed. Have read other reviews complaining about service, smoke and food. It is not a tablecloth restaurant. The food is always excellent and reasonable. Service is fine as well. It is a bit smoky but hey don’t wear fineries.
