What Alonso Ordoñez doesn't like about Abeno:
When I made the booking I made a note that I was celebrating a 50th birthday and as it was my husbands first time at this restaurant, I requested an entertaining/ experience cook. My husband asked the manager for recommendations but he just reeled off...the menu. Our cook didn’t say more than two words to us the entire time. Food was fine but very overpriced considering most of it was cooked in the kitchen! View all feedback. What Sophia Evans likes about Abeno:
What can I say… I’ve been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years when they were established in Covent Garden. Not been since they closed and moved location so we decided to come back again for our anniversary. It didn’t disappoint!! The food was...amazing as always! Fresh and cooked in front of you. This is one of my top favourite restaurants in London. Love it here. The restaurant itself doesn’t look like much... View all feedback.

Abeno, a Japanese restaurant specializing in Okonomiyaki, offers a unique dining experience with good hearty food in a typically Japanese quirkiness. While some may find the prices high for dishes mostly cooked in the kitchen, the freshly prepared Okonomiyakis are a hit with diners. The staff is friendly and accommodating, providing a pleasant dining experience overall. If you're looking for authentic Japanese cuisine, Abeno is a must-visit spot, especially for Okonomiyaki lovers seeking a taste of western Japan in the heart of London.
