“ A hidden gem where you'll find freshly made dishes, potent cocktails, and amazing service. As we were celebrating a birthday we went through the small dish menu .... sharing is caring ....we had a wonderful evening ”
“ This has to be one of the best places to eat in Hertford. The food, service and atmosphere are fabulous. Friendly, professional, good value and generous portions. What’s not to like! Oh yes and they do take away! Highly recommended. ”
“ A great little place tucked away that we just stumbled upon one evening. It's very small and intimate yet didn't feel crowded. Service was brisk and helpful and the food was fresh and delicious. Although the menu wasn't particularly expansive, what we tried was delicious. Try the chicken katsu curry, it was tip-top. ”
“ A combination of excellent service, great food and a lovely atmosphere. It was our first time today and even our toddler remained calm! Will definitely go back and recommend you to give it a try. ”
“ The food was great, served hot, served quickly, and with impeccable presentation. Prices very reasonable and great portion sizes. Clearly using good quality ingredients. Comfortable, approachable atmosphere. Only thing I would say is that it wasn't immediately pointed out to us that although there is a small menu of the daily staples (which were lovely), you really need to turn your eyes to one of the chalk boards to see what's on offer today. It's only a niggle, and once we knew we loved that home made and interesting approach, but I think most people like to know what they're meant to be doing at the start. I'd hate to have missed out on what was on the board purely because I didn't know to look! That said, we intend to return and will know about this quirk next time! Thank you to the staff for a lovely evening meal ”
“ We had a meal here for my husbands birthday last night. Wow, the food was amazing!! Lovely little restaurant and the man that served us was so friendly, explaining what the dishes were, and making sure all was ok with our meal. We had a really lovely evening and will most definitely be back to try the other dishes. Highly recommended. ”
“ First time visiting this little hot spot and it was so worth it! Amazing small sharing dishes, a great place for us foodies. All very fresh and prepared to order, came very quick and we could have ordered more but was the perfect amount for 2. Wonderful service, very polite and informative! Will be coming back for sure! ”
“ We love, love, love Mr Tanaka’s! Every time we visit Hertford we go here for food. The brothers who run it are wonderfully kind and talented. The food is top notch. The menu is refreshed and the specials are always brilliant. The atmosphere and layout is warm and cosy. There are only so many tables so you get an exclusive feel when dining here. One of my favourite places in the world to eat. If you haven’t been you are missing out and should book immediately!! You won’t be disappointed!!! Itadakimasu!! ”
