Near the new American Embassy in Nine Elms, this modern izakaya opened in September 2022 and is the creation of Singapore-born Lynus Lim (ex-The Laughing Heart) and Chase Lovecky (formerly of The Clove Club). Foodwise, it’s a bit of a mashup, aiming to ‘highlight Japanese cookery techniques whilst engaging the micro-seasonality of produce from the British Isles’. Most reports say the result is “a super newcomer with really enjoyable food showing great balance of flavours and representing value for money”. On the downside, there’s the occasional view that “though good it’s been very hyped up and some dishes work better than others (a bit overcomplicated)”.

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).

What the Newspaper Critics are saying

The Daily Telegraph

William Sitwell enjoyed an “intriguing and thought-provoking” meal at this izakaya near the new US Embassy in Nine Elms – “a rather sleeker, tidier, quieter and more modern version” of the informal drinking den he visited in Japan some years ago, his previous izakaya experience.

Almost every item on the menu requires you to Google a translation, but William was having too much fun to let that bother him.

“The dish of the night was cuttlefish and kabu noodles topped with caviar; the textures of the creamy seafood and noodles merging together to become a sort of utterly magnificent, write-home-and-tell-your-parents carbonara.”
