Japanese Restaurants in Bromley

“Papayaya is an outstanding Asian restaurant with one of the biggest menus I’ve ever seen – the choice is huge! The chef is absolutely amazing – he’s also one of the owners (together with his partner, who also runs Rita’s Café). He’s an experienced gentleman, and he cooks everything with such skill and flavor – truly restaurant-quality food, every single time.

I’ve tried many dishes here – the soups (large portions!), different types of noodles (I usually go for the gluten-free rice noodles), and everything I’ve had has been simply delicious. I like the new dish Ho-Fan in black bean sauce which is really tasty. Honestly, one dish is better than the next – you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Their opening hours are very convenient: they serve lunch from 11:30 to 2:30pm, close for a short break, and reopen at 5pm until 10pm (closed on Mondays). The food is always fresh and full of flavor, perfect for dining in or takeaway.

If you come with a friend, I recommend ordering a pot of lemongrass tea – they serve it in a big teapot, and it’s so refreshing and tasty. The service is excellent too – the staff are always attentive, quick to clean tables, and genuinely kind. Every time I come, I leave happy, full, and satisfied.

I even came once with a headache – they served me hot tea and delicious food, and I left feeling so much better. That’s the kind of warmth and care this place gives. The customer service is outstanding, which is rare and makes this restaurant really stand out.

Highly recommend Papayaya – you won’t be disappointed!”

“On Saturday (22/2/25) we took our 2 very young granddaughters for lunch at Wagamama Bromley. They both really enjoyed their visit, as did we. The service was friendly and attentive, the food as delicious as ever, and the atmosphere buzzing (it was lunchtime). A special shoutout to our server, Rion, who looked after us. Our grandkids were very impressed, as were we. We’ll definitely be back!”

“I don't have any pictures...because I ate everything ?. So good I had to buy a pot for each of my family members to enjoy because me telling them wouldn't be good enough. The teriyaki salmon ??”

“Great selection of food available, but you have to be careful which, and how many, plates you pick up. Four of us visited and the total came to roughly £130. Thankfully had a discount voucher which reduced that by a 3rd.

It's a good experience but not one I'll do too often.”
