Food was delicious. Chicken katsu sushi was the best! The sweet chilly chicken and black bean noodles was also very tasty. Service was great. Atmosphere is nice but the smell from the kitchen is very strong and hits you as you walk in. Definitely going again!

A favourite London spot for great Asian meals. My go to is roast duck and rice which also comes with bak choi but you're in for a treat with the chicken katsu curry. The curry is legendary .

Consistently good food and portions at consistently good prices. Always know I’ll eat well here. I recommend the chicken or salmon teriyaki

Very cheap and delicious place, served with pretty much double or at least more than the normal portion you would get from other Asian restaurants! But because its cheap, if you expect low quality, you are WRONG!! It's actually above average in terms of the taste as well so it's a must-go!!

Phenomenal tastes of Japan. Delicious flavors and a great selection of authentic Japanese dishes. If I wasnt here on vacation, it would become a staple in my dining out.

Very delicious Asian food! I particularly loved the Laksa. The mini version is not small at all, it was quite filling and it's more than enough as a main dish for one person as you can see from the photos. The crispy tempura shrimps were very tasty, the shrimps were perfectly cooked and soft and the crust was crispy and flavorful.

We’ve been going to H&T on and off for over a decade whenever we stay in the area, and it’s stayed consistently great. The pho style soups are packed with protein ingredients like giant prawns and fish-cake balls, all soaked in flavoursome stock. Underneath, there’s a variety of noodles and it all combines into something delicious and heavy on chillies and seasoning. Well worth the visit.
