Rice was alright but the fish for my sushi was dry and tasteless, bit rubbery. Ordered a California role and it had a crab stick, expected something more fresh given the £4ish cost. Expected a better quality overall given the price. The miso soup was pretty good though.

Quite tasty sushi boxes and ramen. We often visit this place.

Food is always top-notch and freshly prepared. Staff are lovely and make helpful suggestions for pairings and things to try. I personally love soft shell crab so their Temaki is my go-to with a soul warming, gut balancing miso. Today, I also added a plate of salmon and avocado handrolls rolled in Nori and Roe. Really lovely little lunch in the peace and quiet of their upstairs sitting area. I really enjoy solo dining, and it is quite common here to be surrounded by other solo dinners.

Staff rude and i think they use some old meat now unlike before when they are newly open...its not the same as before...new staff cant communicate.

"Mixed Experience at Obento Japanese Express"My wife and kids have been loyal customers of Obento , drawn in by their amazing food.However, their recent visit left them very disappointed due to very poor customer service.Sadly, this experience has cost them a families custom along side many recommendations . The lovely food couldn't compensate for the letdown in service on this occasion.

If you love Japanese food, try Obento. Won’t let you down. Love their ramen and bento boxes.

Another Chinese owned dinner. Food is NOT authentic and the service is horrible. The environment is filthy. I’d avoid and def not ever going again. Waste of money.

I come to this shop often and normally its a great experience and great food to but this day I came and ordered food like I normally would and went to sit down they then brought me something that didn't look anything like my order and the guy that was giving me my food started to get aggressive with me almost shouting at me and then I agreed to take the food to get him to leave (I never touched the food) then I went down afterwords and asked for my money back because I was served something that I didn't order the guy that served me gave me my money back being very aggressive with the till from anger towards me won't be going back after that
Nothing special. Tried their teriyaki chicken ramen as a take away. Chicken was alright, didn't taste any teriyaki, ramen soup was average/below average. Got a side of seaweed and it was meh. Not worth the £15 I spent at all.

Excellent food but not a lot of sitting in space. Otherwise really good.
