Tombo

It’s a lovely little restaurant just a couple of minutes walk from the V&A museum. The food is more home style but quite tasty. I do not recommend the flowery green tea though, it’s too soft tasting like warm water. The staff are very nice. Recommend it for lunch or afternoon tea alone or with a few friends.

This restaurant is very very nice, becuase of the atmosphere and inside. I was going to the Science Museum in London and me and my dad was hungry, so we went to this place and we didn't expect that the food was going to be AMAZING. The service was about 5-8 minutes. I had sushi with a bowl of rice, and my dad had having something (I don't remember the name).But you HAVE to come and eat before lunchtime because the customers will come in very quick. We manage to get a seat in time.

I went there at 1 ish and there were some people lining up, I waited a bit and someone came out and gave me a maul, so I can think about what I want, which I think that's really good that I can have more time to think what I want. Then not long I went in and ordered a chicken rice and a Tokyo ice-cream sundae, the chicken rice is good, the sauce is really good, if there is one thing I really need to pick about are the green pees, they were a bit bitter, but overall the chicken rice is really good. Then I ate my ice-cream, the macho taste was the best I have ever had in London, is not too sweet and a really good thickness, the mocha munchie was really good as well, never had that good quality of Japanese food in London before. 100% going to come back, and also with family and friends.

One of my new favorite Japanese restos! We had the chicken katsu curry, Japanese potato salad, gyudon, miso soup, and the Halloween special dessert. Katsu curry, potato salad, and gyudon were delicious, the miso soup was good but a bit salty. Dessert wasn’t very sweet, it almost didn’t taste like a dessert, I wasn’t the biggest fan. Would definitely go back!

Came here with a couple of friends for a meetup! Definitely recommend for any time of day - the range of items makes it suitable for a sweet treat but also a dinner as they have a great selection of rice and poke bowls. Matcha heaven too - lattes, sundaes, desserts✨ Will definitely be returning! ☺️ I didn't get too much but I recommend the takoyaki and red bean sundae:) The only thing I'd say is that some things are on the pricier side but the actual mains are in line with what you expect from a typical restaurant in London.

First time visiting Tombo and it didn’t disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the prawn tempura in my Prawn Tempura Udon. I had already started eating when I took the photos, couldn’t help myself! I was too full to get dessert but I’m definitely getting it next time I visit. Staff were very friendly and polite and the food was prepared quickly as well! If you’re in South Kensington you should definitely visit.

Convenient place to go after the long day at the museums. But not the best for Japanese food in London at all. Food is a bit bland but not bad tasting. Curry was very nice. Do not recommend the green tea as it is too bitter. I think they brew it for way too long. I heard matcha desserts are nice though. Need to try that. Service was nice and friendly.
