Harden's survey result
Summary
This Marylebone veteran claims to be the longest-serving Japanese restaurant in London, and wins high ratings for its “consistent” classics, ranging from sushi to teppanyaki. Food writer and chef Simon Hopkinson was for many years a regular here, although it tends to fly under the radar these days.
Summary
“Perfect sushi” and other “top-notch modern Japanese” food has drawn a steady crowd to this “sedate” Marylebone veteran for over 35 years (it claims to be the ‘longest running Japanese restaurant in London’). No-one’s ever been that wild about the interior – the focus is very much on the (expensive) food: “you’ll leave happy but broke…”
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).
