Misato

Best value dive in Chinatown with generous portions. I've been coming here for almost twenty years, though the last time I was here could have been eight years ago. With the cost of living going up, I had been thinking prices for eating out were a bit high. I wondered if Misato was still around and thankfully it is. Usually there is a queue, but we were there around 9pm on a Thursday evening and only waited 5 minutes. I remember waiting for more than half an hour years ago as we would go at peak times - we were amateurs back then. :p I had the chicken teriyaki and my friend had the fried chicken. Both were good. It's a great casual place - very student vibey and chilled. I'll be going back and hopefully it will be around for another twenty years. I highly recommend Misato's.

It looks small from the front but opens up inside. We were looking for an affordable but delicious place in China Town. The menu had some things I hadn't seen at other places (cold udon which I had been craving for a while) and they seated us quickly. The menu is very cute with the pink! And the prices are very good for central. We got a sushi to start, my friend got a curry and I got the cold udon. Came out promptly and tasted delicious! Definitely my go to for a cheap bite in central!!!

A great place to try Asian food! I have been coming here since I moved to London 7 years ago. The dishes are generously sized and very affordable, with most priced around £10 or less. Everyone I have recommended this place to has loved it, so go for it! Please click 'like' if you find this review helpful.

A great quick cheap eat in Central London. We both had the regular chicken katsu curry. There was a large size option but we both agreed the regular was plenty big. Flavour wise the dish was good. However the curry flavour was certainly not the same as what you would get at wasabi or yo sushi. I found it more citrusy and it didn't have little chunks of carrot or potato. I've not been to Japan so I'm not sure what the proper way to make it is but just pointing out the difference. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing. I also ordered an Inari pocket which was larger than the standard size you would get in a supermarket or at yo sushi. Was really good and would defo recommend but maybe not if you've just had another big rice dish. Overall I would go here again. It's a no frills bargain place to stop and eat while in Central London. Great if you're a tourist or a local. As I was out without my daughter I didn't check if there was a baby change facility and I didn't notice any high chairs. Honestly though I probably wouldn't recommend with small babies and small toddlers. It's quite a tightly packed restaurant so not a lot of space for a buggy. On the other hand, older children would be fine here.
