One of my favourite Japanese place in London if need to drive in. Small, so you might need to call for a reservation. Note that they have outdoor seating which is reasonably warm with the heaters. Great menu variety and prices are reasonable for the location. There is typically plenty of parking outside and near the shop on weekends and evenings without having to pay for parking or congestion charge.
First meal out since COVID-19 lockdown and what a great restaurant to eat at. The sashimi and nigiri, along with the tempura has been the best I’ve had in London. They are participating in the government Eat-Out to Help-out during Aug 2020 so as an extra incentive makes it even more worthy of eating there. The staff are very accommodating, allowing space for our baby buggy and attentive. The sashimi is very fresh, well cut and presented. Highly recommend and I will go back.
Possibly the best Japanese restaurant in London. Excellent sushi and delicious dishes. Cosy environment and a very kind and caring service. Value for money is top considering the food quality and the money you pay. Definitely a must if you look for authentic Japanese cuisine
Found this place on Google map by accident and decided to have dinner here, which was a good decision. I had a very nice experience here. Really outstanding service and sushi!! I prefer to have avocado rather than cucumber in the California roll and I was so glad they did! Fresh salmon and avocado went perfectly with sushi rice and the white sesame coating. People there are so welcoming and friendly. Can’t wait to come back to try other food on the menu!
Nice Japanese restaurant with a wide selection of dish available. The eel sushi and the green tea ice cream tasted fantastic. The service was great and the restaurant was nicely designed. Price per person was 30, which is not bad. Only thing is the restaurant was quite small, so you may need to book it to ensure you get a table.
I think i can say this is the best traditional sushi that i have found in London! Delicious food, good quality and nice service! I really enjoyed the sushi rolls and the Japanese aubergine. Sake was also good
We had lunch here walking by chance. Lovely outdoor seating and the chirashi bowl was delicious. Also had the poke bowl which was very big and filling. The lunch special included miso soup and a salad.
Food and service are top notch. Really liked the place as well!
