Harden's survey result
Summary
“A great discovery! – Brilliant budget Japanese food is served right in the tourist hell of County Hall” at this “small and off-beat” canteen, which is “hard to find but worth searching for (just like such places in Japan)”. It offers “a little slice of Osaka on London’s South Bank” down to its “authentic” tastes (‘Okan’ apparently means Mum in Osakan dialect) and – with its “great onigiri and okonomiyaki” is a “perfect place to try Japanese food that is not sushi or the ubiquitous ramen”. There are two more branches in Brixton (not listed).
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).
