Review: Abento Too Japanese restaurant

Food: 8/10 - Try one of their fluffy light Okonomiyakis (similar to an omelettes) cooked and served in the center of your table. Also try the succulent fillet steaks - they're simply divine!
Service: 8/10 - Fast, friendly and willing to advise on dishes
Decor: 6/10 - Simple, isometric, light modern layout. As well as tables for four along the front, there is a large U-shaped highter-seated table arrangement where larger groups can sit.
Cost: Prices are average, with side dishes starting at around £4.50, standard sized Okonomiyaki (see my picture) around £8, bottle of Kirin at £3.30 and large flasks of Saki at £13. However, prices aren't cheap enough to warrant Time Out rating it as 2005 Best Cheap Eats runner-up.

Point to note: Abeno Too doesn't serve sushi. Some Japanese restaurants, like this one, do specialise in things other than sushi!
