With its “surprisingly high-quality Japanese cooking for a nondescript suburban strip” in Willesden Green, this accomplished local spot offers a “delicious omakase experience in a calm environment” – making it an adequate replacement for its predecessor Sushi-Say (the epitome of a wonderful, family-owned Japanese, which inhabited this out-of-the-way site for over 30 years).

“The best food in Willesden Green” is arguably a double-edged compliment, but should do nothing to detract from this accomplished Japanese, acclaimed by locals for its “super-fresh, true-tasting sushi” and other “exquisitely prepared dishes”. As with its long-time predecessor on this site (Sushi Say, long RIP), what is potentially a “dull” space is enlivened by the “charming” service.

“Great sushi without a schlep into town!” wins strong local praise for this “minimal-looking” Japanese in Willesden Green (on a site many still remember as Sushi Say, RIP). “The food is so fresh as it’s prepared to order, the anticipation as you sip on some hot sake is so worth the wait”. “I am so lucky to have this place on my doorstep”.

“The best place to eat in NW2… keeping up with Sushi Say”: its predecessor on this site was a hard act to follow after over twenty years in Willesden Green, and – on limited feedback – this neighbourhood Japanese is a worthy occupant of the site it vacated a couple of years back.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
