OITA Soho is a Japanese restaurant at 47 Gerrard Street in London’s Chinatown. Its central location and broad menu make it suitable for a quick lunch, an evening meal or a shared exploration of sushi and cooked dishes.
Small plates include gyoza, edamame, karaage and tempura, providing an easy way to begin or build a sharing meal. Sushi runs through nigiri, sashimi, maki and larger combinations, with both fish based and vegetable choices represented.
Ramen, udon, curry and donburi offer warming and substantial alternatives to sushi. Bento boxes combine rice, salad, soup and accompaniments with centrepieces such as teriyaki, katsu, tempura, grilled fish or tofu.
The range allows guests to move between raw fish, grilled dishes and crisp fried textures at the same table, while takeaway and delivery are also available. Diners with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should consult the current allergen details and speak with staff before ordering.
