Toku, Edokko & Atari-ya (Part 4/5)

Toku

Situated next to Japan Centre in Picadilly Circus, I came here for lunch with my workmates. The food is good but expensive for what it is. I am more inclined to head to Golders Green where prices are friendlier and food is better.

Catching up with Jen led us to Edokko. An easy to miss place with its unassuming entrance, I really had to count the numbers to make sure I don't miss it. 

We were seated at the front in our own private booth area while I noticed Japanese locals being led off to the back somewhere out of sight. I wonder what that means. 

The food was good but unspectacular. I actually think that it is a little expensive for what it is and it doesn't differ from the myriad or choices of Japanese places available. 


Will I recommend: Yes if you're around the area. 
Will I come back: I won't make a special trip.
Have I had better: Yes

Atari-ya

I'm a fan of Atari-ya. Although it was a long wait in my previous experience, I've now learnt the art of how to obtain your food faster especially during lunch time in the St. James branch. I am always in for a bowl of Chirashi which I find is fresh, tasty and value for money for what you get.
