Summary
“Tucked away in an unassuming suburban street, this Maida Vale Japanese is firmly established as a local favourite” for its “inventive and original” dishes that are “excellently executed” using “high-quality ingredients”. “Standards are much higher than the dining room decor might suggest – it’s somewhat functional!”
Summary
“Exceptional”, “really high-quality, fresh sashimi and moreish sushi” make this “on-point Japanese neighbourhood spot” a “regular favourite of Maida Vale locals”. It also serves “good-value lunchtime bento boxes”.
Summary
Lucky Maida Vale residents have this “wonderful local Japanese” on their doorsteps. “Top-quality ingredients are skilfully prepared and service is lovely”, delivering “sublime sashimi – fresh, cut just right and accompanied by just enough lime, shredded vegetables and shiso to make it shine. Tempura is sweet yet crisp and the signature rolls are a textural treat of mildly spicy dressing, popping fish eggs, sweet yet savoury rice and fresh fish!”
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).
