Maguro restaurante Review

I came here to pick up an order and for 15 minutes they are not checking my order and after that they telling me it s going to be ready in 5 minutes but I waited more than 1 hour. Not happy at all

I go there very regularly and it's always been great service and great consistent quality food. That's very hard to do

Great food selection, no cheap but very expensive. Sushi are good quality, service is good. Good vegi options.

i haven't had such sushi since my time in LA! super!

Small tucked away restaurant with around 30 seats. Reportedly operated by an x-Zuma chef. Mostly Japanese/Asian staff providing good service. As it's small probably better to book.

Good menu range. Tasty miso soup. Excellent Rainbow roll; we were two persons and thought we may need two rolls but one roll was quite well sized and so well presented. Ebi tempura well done but think the dipping bowl should be larger. Salmon teriyaki was excellent and surprisingly large.

Definetely a place to return as do the locals.

Make a reservation. This is a small place that filles up quickly

Really good quality sushi but a bit overpriced for the area. Some rolls have a bit too much sauce so you can t taste the fish.

1) No smile when you get in
2) Smell of damp
3) Wobbly table


7) No thank you or goodbye

Come on!

It feels like a hidden gem and it really is. The kind of place you don't want too many people to know about. I can't wait to come back here. The best Sushi in London.

Decent style japanese food. Nice atmosphere however I found it rather pricey for the quantity (compared with other japanese portions I mean). This might have changed since the last time we went which was over a year ago.

Very good quality ingredients but expensive. #sushi

Quite a regular customer and disappointed to find that I waited 30 minutes for an order that the manager said would take 10 simply because she didnt remember to call it out when it was ready. Good food let down by apathetic front of house

A cosy and popular local Japanese restaurant - but I have to confess, I found the nigiri a bit unremarkable. The fish simply didn't taste as fresh as I'd expect for the price point - a little bit dry and lacking a certain je ne sais quoi - I preferred Atari-ya.

The ambiance, generous portions, and tasty starters help to haul Maguro into four-star territory, making it a perfectly competent neighbourhood restaurant - but not necessarily worth travelling for. Bookings essential at the weekend.

I wanna say thank you so much to Maguro. I've been needing a sushi fix for a while, and although I had sushi recently at two places, my thirst did not disappear. However after eating Maguro's sushi, I felt a deep sense of fulfilment and contentment - I was extremely humbled to eat great quality sushi and I am happy to announce that I got my sushi fix. Now I will not need to eat sushi for another few months as I am now truly happy. The additional bonus was that after Maguro, I had a very smooth relief in the bathroom after many days of constipation. Truly Maguro's sushi is a miracle to my taste buds and my overall health. Thank you again.

Cosy Japanese restaurant with few vegan dishes tucked away in Maida Vale.

Some of the best sushi I've ever had, if only the restaurant was slightly bigger, it fills very quickly. The rock tempura is a personal favourite

Decent quality but sushi are way too overpriced with tiny portion

Discovered this place during lockdown via Deliveroo. Excellent quality! I look forward to visiting in person when restaurants can re-open.

Great food! Lovely atmosphere and dumplings, would recommend to anyone. Would go again.

Nice little restaurant, very good food. Service can be better; limited understanding of English language and no one asked how our food was. Also, no one explained what kind of sushi we got on our 'party plate'. On the bill there was a service charge of almost 8 pounds, but we hardly recieved any service. We did not know that you can refuse to pay the service fee, otherwise we would not have payed it.

Very good sushi. Tasty plates. Intimate experience when not busy. However, on most occasions gets way too crowded, noisy and tiring. You struggle to listen to your company because people next table stand in less than a meter from you.

Charming Japanese restaurant, very impressed with the chicken teriyaki bento box.

Always amazingly friendly and attentive. Quality and value for money one of a kind in this day and age. I never have to think what to order - Maguro bento box please. The grilled chicken thigh alone is a stand-alone dish of outstanding quality. If you are a light eater you can always ask for a doggie bag. Smile and pay. No pain.

delicious. Udon soup is also cool and if you eat sushi in a foreign country, it's always watery, but this is not the case. Tempura and soy sauce are also delicious. However, the price comes out because it is London.

Great sushi excellent service and food would definitely recommend this place will go again. It's in Maida Vale in a little side street very quaint.

Went there for a special birthday dinner but it was completely ruined by the attitude of the staff and the big table next to us. Our table keeps getting kicked by the waiting staff when they walked past and when we brought this up with the team all we got was the attitude, no apologies whatsoever.

Have been a good client for this place for a while but thanks to this experience we will no longer return and definitely NOT recommend anyone to visit there. Go to a Japanese restaurant that actually is owned by Japanese and understand the Japanese customer service.

Hi, I m happy to share. It was a year ago now so I don t remember much, but I do recall we waited and waited and after being told time and time again that we would be seated, we never were and received nothing. I take no issue with the food, just the service. Thanks.

Very good sushi but terrible staff. The staff doesn't seem to care about customer requests and ignores all instructions. Waitress either didn't understand or didn't bother to get order right and then over chsrcha crrtain members of our party when it came to pay tgt bill .

Neighborhood high quality sushi and Japanese food in wood panelled cozy space. Book ahead since tables are limited. Lunch Bento boxes are a great value.

Stellar sushi in a good location. A cozy atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff, with quick service and high quality sushi. The food is pricey, so be wary on a student budget and I recommend for special occasions.

One of the best Japanese restaurants in London. Excellent bentos and delicious (if not traditional) special rolls offer great value, but everything on the menu has been of exceptional quality since it opened and has never deteriorated. It's small and cosy so definitely book ahead. Have had dozens of meals here over the years and never been disappointed.

We came here for my birthday and it was the perfect place for a nice, romantic, celebratory occasion. It's tucked in a quiet, residential area and you can recognize it by it's dark wooden exterior, which stood out against the neighboring white houses.
For a Saturday night, it was completely packed. So make sure you reserve because It's a very intimate, small place. The interior is also wooden, but in a more modern, sleek design with lighted columns as paneled walls. And most of the friendly staff is Japanese, which I liked.
We ordered a bit of everything: sashimi, udon, teriyaki chicken, sushi... it was all extremely fresh and authentic. Honestly, I think it's the best fish I've had in London. SUPER pure sashimi... hard to find here. But be aware that the soy sauce bowl is deceitfully small, as we made quite a mess of the table early on :)
Overall, I recommend sushi lovers to come here for a special, laidback experience!

Great place, but defo recommend to book and double check before getting there. However, if you are not in a hurry then you can wait outside and wait for a table. Staff are very kind and the food is amazing. A lot of food for London standards. Will go back soon.

I usually just order so can't comment on the staff but the food is amazing!

I was jonesing for some Japanese comfort food, and Maguro delivered a solid Chicken Katsu Don. I enjoyed the crinkled minimal modern interior design as well.

Really bad service and average sushi. Once we sat at the table, the waiter took 25 minutes to give us the menus. Then, when we asked another staff member to bring us the bill, he brought us the wrong bill twice.

Very average restaurant with an awkward vibe. The constant chiming of the Deliveroo tablet really kills the atmosphere. Ordered a sort of sampler sashimi platter and was shorted 4 pieces by accident

Small private restaurant. Food is flavourful and beautifully put together. Loved the summer rolls!

I love this place. Such good food! I just wish it was bigger. Please open another bigger restaurant with the same quality food!

Unbelievable sushi
Very small place but great foods

Really nice food but terrible service. Extremely slow and then when we tried to order dessert at 21:30 we were told the kitchen was shut so we couldn t. Normal etiquette would be to tell us beforehand and ask if we wanted to order anything else - I m sure the owner wouldn t like to hear the restaurant is losing out on revenue due to such poor standards. Besides this, staff didn t care how our meal was, brought everything in the wrong order and could barely utter the words bye or thanks when we left - basically looked like they hated being there. Told the manager at the end and instead of offering us something to come back like a free dessert next time, he just seemed to be angry with the staff next door, but in truth he could have found a moment during our 2 hours there to ask how our meal was going, so he was just as much to blame. A real shame and won t be returning.

The owner is very friendly and welcoming. The sushi are superb and I loved the lunch menu. Have been here many times and will happily come again.

Everybody's really nice but the food was not inspired

Delicious! Good service, very attentive. Definitely going back xxx

Claustrophobic, overpriced and banal tasteless Japanese food made with little imagination. The staff and service weren t much better. Not a place I ll be going back to.

This small Japanese restaurant is a marvel. In an uncrowded lane, one does not expect to encounter such flavors

I have been here a few times and they always satisfy me with their tastes. It's a little gem and I am lucky it is local to me.

One of the best sushi and Japanese dishes I have had. It is small, but cosy good for a romantic lunch/dinner, but also for family and small groups.

I think it is very authentic and traditional and the waitresses are very friendly.

I gave it 5 stars before, but last time I went the staff weren't as helpful and they were being stingy with the soy sauce, therefore its 4 now!

Delicious lunch sets/ bento/ chirashi bows. They've expanded into next door (previously windsor castle pub) great service

Cosy restaurant with 25 seats or so, serves amazing Japanese dishes specialising in sushi rolls.

Extremely rude and curt service. As a Japanese national, ashamed that this kind of a restaurant pretends to serve my country s food. Food is average at best- certainly not authentic.

Great restaurant, good food but the staff could be nicer

Excellent Japanese close to home. Every dish was mouth watering! Reasonably priced for a Japanese restaurant and delivers quality.

Good quality & cozy neighborhood sushi restaurant. Loved the Vegetable gyoza, miso soup, and spicy edamame as the no-brainer starters. Yellow tail nigiri and dragon roll was fresh and deli. I was not impressed with the tuna tartar.

nothing special, you can get better sushi from tesco

Amazing food, i work round the corner and alway love getting lunch from them,

The worst sushi I have ever had. The fish was of tasteless and of poor quality, while each portion of sushi contained so much wasabi it made me feel sick.

Great food and perfect service. The dining room is a little cramped but not uncomfortable.

Great place to visit, eat and chill. Food is delicious, service is exceptional and efficient. Will visit again, keep up guys with the good work.

Super tasty nigiri and special rolls and high quality fish! One of the best places in London!

Small, beautiful setting, attentive service and wonderful food. Enjoy!

Great sushi, creative menu, lively atmosphere. The service is friendly but has room for improvement (we had to remind our orders a number of times).

Not impressed, food not great, crowded seating in tiny restaurant, waiters just looked grumpy and unwelcoming

Delicious food. Easily the best teriyaki sauce in London

Fantastic food and service and adequately priced restaurant. Lovely to eat in at and good for take-away too. Favourites are their spider roll, salmon and tuna sashimi and rock tempura.

Great location, great ambiance, and the service is top notch.

Love to have picnic with Maguro lunch box. Nice composition, taste good. Salmon in the salmon&avo roll was so huge.

Horrible staff - asked if they had a table for 2. I got told no. That was it, just 'no'. No follow-up of we have a table in 2 hours or 1 hour or let me just look. I got told 'no'. Poor service.

Really good sushi, sashimi and gyoza at this cute, hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Their specialty rolls are delicious and the noodles are great. Service is pretty fast! All in all would definitely recommend.

Consistently the best neighbourhood restaurant in the area for the last 7 years i have been local. What a gem!

Ordered from Deliveroo after having seen Maguro on my walks near Little Venice. The special rolls were so fantastic that I'm going to order again order next day so my parents can try it. Can't wait for lock-down to fully end so we can try dining at the restaurant.

It makes me smile when I read other people's comments about the prices. I mean you can always go online and check well known restaurant's menus and see the prices before you book in. If you think the food is expensive, why do you even More
