Tanakaya Japanese Restaurant - London

This is our favourite Japanese restaurant in London. It's been around in the market long enough for me to remember that the young man creating our sushi was a school kid doing home-work a few years ago. I guess you could say I have a sentimental attachment to this place. There are a few tables in this modest location and its great place to enjoy the market atmosphere. The take-out sushi is very good. The aga dashi tofu is really good as are the udon noodles.

This is my go-to Sushi location, the itamae prepare sushi with care and use fresh ingredients, even their premade selection is great. Rice is never dried out and vegetables never limp....I love it enough to pay for delivery across town for special lunch treats at the office even though I am surrounded by other sushi options.

We like to eat here nearly every Friday at lunch. The sushi is fresh, and service is fast and friendly. The location is tricky, tucked back in the north west corner of the Covent Market next to Homeopathy London. You can also enter off Market Lane. When the buskers are playing live music, and the market is packed this restaurant is a peaceful oasis of delicious Japanese food.

Tanakaya Japanese Restaurant is a cozy little spot in Covent Garden Market that left me thoroughly impressed. As a vegetarian, I was delighted to find that they had a delicious option for me the miso ramen with dumplings was simply fantastic!The lady serving us was incredibly accommodating and displayed the utmost courtesy throughout our meal. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful dining experience, which made the visit all the more memorable.To complement the meal, I tried their boba tea, and it didn't disappoint! The blend of flavors was perfect, and it added a refreshing touch to the entire lunch.The owners of Tanakaya truly take pride in their restaurant, and it shows in the exceptional quality of both the food and the service. If you're in Covent Garden Market and looking for a delightful Japanese dining experience, Tanakaya is the place to be!

Huge menu makes it hard to decide. However I've always ended up getting the Eel on Rice. Phenomenal! Quit spot in the back corner of the market makes it a great place to enjoy your afternoon with great food and a bustling outside atmosphere. ?
