Abeno in Camden

Friendly, authentic, delicious.The theatre of the cook-at-the-table dumplings and okonomoyaki has not diminished and the dancing bonito flakes are still a thrill. Staff are delightful and it’s a great place for half a dozen friends or dining solo. All in a characterful and chain-free street in London.

I don't know from where to start.The staff it's amazing, everyone very nice, professional and helpful.The food it's incredibly good, I feel like my mouth was in paradise.The atmosphere it's perfect as the decorations.I will suggest it to everyone I know, one of the best experiences I've ever had.

Chanced upon this gem and made a last min dinner reservation while we were in the vicinity. The food was absolutely oishii - in fact, the okonomiyaki and om-soba were the best we’ve had outside Japan so far! We also ordered a hot plate aubergine as a starter and it was soft and tasty. We had the homemade matcha ice cream with Azuki bean as dessert and we really love the rich matcha taste. The servers were really knowledgeable about the food on the menu, made really good recommendations and provided really great service 👍🏼 Will definitely be back again 😊

Very tasty food. The okonomiyaki was excellent, fresh made in front of you. Staff is very friendly as well.

Unbelievably friendly and accommodating staff; delicious, fresh & authentic food; an overwhelming sense of pride & care in everything that they do. Couldn’t have had a better experience - we will be back!

My goodness it was just excellent. The waiter asked if everything was ok and my friend said, 'Yes, we already know we'll be back' and we hadn't even finished the food, it was so tasty. Fantastic food and service. Only tried the okonomiyaki but keen to try more things in future.

I love this place, I’ve been twice this month already. They prepare everything in front of you, and it’s all delicious! The service is great, too. Obviously the okonomiyaki is the star of the menu, but everything I’ve tried so far has been amazing.

Expensive but good Japanese place. The okonomiyaki is great for sharing, with lots of good tasting meat and vegetarian options. The chicken karaage is delicious, as are the sundaes and drinks.

If you are looking for an authentic Japanese place and not for just the plane old sushi then this is a mast visit for you!The service was probably the best I have ever witnessed in my life. Our waitress/cook really helped and guided us through the menu. As it was our first time tasting this side of the Japanese cuisine, the lady suggested us exactly on what we should try.The prices are pretty up there and the dishes are between small and medium sizes BUT the taste and experience is so unique that on my opinion it's totally worth to try at least once.In summary, great food, great service and great experience. Will be visiting again in the future

Really fun place to eat okonomiyaki where they cook it right in front of you. I've eaten okonomiyaki before and have made it at home plenty of times too, but this is the first time I've ever had it cooked by staff on a table top griddle. It was super enjoyable to watch and the inside environment was nice and cozy. As a big foodie, this is probably the first place I've eaten throughout my week in the UK that I would be willing to revisit.
