Japanese Restaurants in Angel
1. Hot Stone
Japanese restaurant in Islington
9 Chapel Market - N1
“Fresh, innovative sushi and sashimi” share billing with “fantastic wagyu beef cooked on stones”, according to fans of this “buzzy dining room”, which has moved from Islington to Fitzrovia in a reshuffle of ex-Zuma chef Padam Raj Rai’s restaurant portfolio. Even supporters feel “the voucher system – and the upsell when using the vouchers – can be annoying” though, while critics reckon “the food doesn’t live up to the hype, hence the constant discounted offers”.
2. Kanada-Ya
Japanese restaurant in Islington
35 Upper Street - N1
“Proper Kyushu-style ramen with a thick, silky broth” is the secret behind this small London noodle chain from former pro cyclist Kazuhiro Kanada. “Especially great on a typical cold, rainy London day”, it’s “a go-to for a quick, cheap and (relatively) healthy supper in town” (“I’ve stopped for ramen at all the main chains and a few indies, and for my money this is the very best bowl at a great price”). The sixth branch opened in summer 2024 at Westfield Shepherd’s Bush.
3. Jiji
Fusion restaurant in Islington
6g Esther Anne Place - N1
“An amazing variety of small, tasty and unusual combination dishes served in a very cool environment” continues to win a thumbs up – if from a tiny fan club – for this Israeli-Japanese one-year-old in the shiny new Islington Square development.
4. Sen Viet
Japanese restaurant in Camden
119 King's Cross Road - WC1X
2021 Review: “Not the most attractive area” – the traffic arteries south of King’s Cross station – “but the food in this outwardly fairly nondescript-looking restaurant is fabulous”, and this makes a very handy and good value Vietnamese refuelling spot.
5. Sushi Show
Japanese restaurant in Islington
28 Camden Passage - N1
2023 Review: Kaz Tateishi’s “conscientious and consistent” (and therefore very Japanese) sushi shop with eat-in seats is tucked away in Islington’s cute Camden Passage. A meal here (or taken away in a box) “always feels like money well spent”. There is now a second outlet in Shoreditch.
