Meisaku Japanese restaurant

We visited on one of the first Saturdays they were open. My husband had the donburi and I had the sashimi – both were fantastic! The beef was a different cut than expected, but the staff quickly swapped it for a delicious chicken dish. My sashimi was super fresh and beautifully prepared, and our dessert was amazing. The team here is wonderful — so happy to have this place nearby!

While tucked away in a quiet corner, this charming Japanese restaurant is truly a hidden gem in Didcot! From the moment you walk in, the exceptional customer service and warm welcome set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The cozy, authentic décor makes you feel as though you’ve been transported straight to Japan—you almost forget you’re still in Didcot. We ordered two lunch specials: the Teriyaki salmon bento box and the Teriyaki chicken bento box. Each came with a comforting bowl of miso soup to start. The food was fresh, flavorsome, and beautifully presented overall quite delicious! We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu, especially the sushi! This place is sure to become Didcot’s next hot spot, perfect for a romantic dinner date or a relaxed family meal. Didcot has been missing a spot like this! We highly recommend visiting!

Was thrilled to see Meisaku when walking through town and popped in for lunch - really good from start to finish! Service was excellent, very accommodating and attentive. The menu has everything you'd expect from a Japanese restaurant, all the classics and some other exciting items. Will definitely be back to try more. Can highly recommend the nigiri platter, green dragon rolls, and the Korean chicken - everything tasted great and looked amazing! There's seating downstairs (we were able to fit in the pram) and upstairs - it's already becoming popular, so you might want to book a table.

I’m so glad to have a Japanese restaurant in Didcot at last. The food is of a very high standard—fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, and the attention to detail really shows. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is calm and inviting. It’s a lovely place to enjoy an authentic Japanese meal without leaving town. Highly recommended.

We are so excited to finally have a Japanese restaurant open in the area, and it definitely didn’t disappoint when we went! The food was absolutely delicious, everything was tasty and fresh. We will be coming back often. Go along and support them, they were so welcoming and friendly!

We are so lucky Meisaku has opened in Didcot. We enjoyed California rolls, the salmon bento box, eel bento box, salmon poke bowl and the chicken veg udon stir fry. Big generous sushi and plenty of salmon and eel. We loved our first visit and look forward to working our way around the menu. We booked for 12noon on Sunday and the two floors were packed with Japanese locals. So book ahead!

Anna and her team at Meisuka deliver outstanding Japanese food. We visited on a Sunday afternoon. Service was friendly and efficient. Dishes were fresh, balanced and full of flavour. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Pricing was fair for the quality. Highly recommended for anyone near Didcot looking for authentic Japanese food. Will definitely be a regular customer here!
