OITA SohoB+

Soho, Oita, 47 Gerrard St, London W1D 5QJ · Japanese restaurant, Cocktail bar, Modern izakaya restaurant · Chinatown

A buzzy Soho Japanese spot with fresh sushi, generous portions, and genuinely good value on many visits, but consistency and service can swing sharply, especially at peak times.

Our take

OITA Soho delivers reliable Japanese comfort food with strong sushi, karaage, and katsu execution, anchored by a prime Soho location with excellent transit access. However, quality varies noticeably by dish and service moment, particularly during busy periods, and tight seating reduces comfort at capacity—preventing the higher-grade consistency needed for neighborhood-restaurant excellence. Best suited for casual group dining and familiar Japanese staples rather than destination-level experiences.

One caveat: Service can be excellent one night and frustrating the next, especially when the restaurant is packed.
