Lovely, quite small and intimate izakaya style dining experience. Food was good, sashimi was of high quality and freshness (compared to many other places in London!). Will surely come back - karaage and grilled dishes were good as well.

There aren't many tables, so do book ahead if you can.
Beautiful izakaya dishes to share. Would recommend the tofu, and sashimi.

I wouldn’t call it a destination restaurant but if you work or live locally, it’s a nice place to have homely, decent Japanese food. They also have Kirin ichiban on draught which is a bonus 🤣😋 Service was warm and friendly 😊

Very good quality, and excellent value for money. Friendly people who served me after initially saying they were closing up as they’d been really busy and run out of most things on the menu. Interior is simple, clean and modest (with a scruffy corner with boxes and old furniture so some may be a little put off) but if you’re looking for authentic, good sashimi with some pickles and soup, with no fuss, you’ll be impressed.

The best new restaurant I've been to in a few months, and I'll definitely be back. Amazing sashimi - the tuna was possibly the best ever tried - at a reasonable price, and generally a great, satisfying, home-style cuisine (try the omelette!). Very friendly service, free tea and cozy atmosphere. Brilliant place, well done!

The service attitude is sososo bad. We went there at noon, their order is according to the number of people. For the service, which we feel so rude is that when there were more people at the opposite table than us, they didn't serve us, even we arrived here is earlier. It doesn't compare to the fact that there are more people at the opposite table than we are. It's ridiculous. Also they urged us to order. We feel really bad from now on. The good mood of the day is gone. It should be a happy meal but not. Will never come here again. If you wanna Experience bad service, you can try here~ BTW the food is okay. Hope everyone can have a nice day, although I don't have it today. F^k🥰

Popularity: Reservation advised to avoid frustration.

Very authentic. You can extrapolate their efforts to resemble the Japanese cuisines simply from their wasabi pick. It’s almost like the real one! (P.S. Wasabi root mash can be as expensive as your sashimi!)

Tuna & Toro
Definition of Umami. Toro was more to the lean side. Tuna said to be from bluefin tuna.

Assorted Mini Don
A bit of everything! Make sure you also add their homemade shoyu.

Deep Fried Oysters
Nicely done! Well coated and oysters within are still fresh and mildly sweet.

Found an amazing little hidden gem near our place! It’s a lovely atomsphere authentic Izakaya (居酒屋) run by a friendly Japanese chef Taro and his wife Eliza offering a true Japanese experience. The quality and freshness of fish was really awesome. We ordered few dishes, Fried Oysters and Chicken Karagee are especially delicious and authentic.
Really hard to find a good Japanese restaurant in London, glad we found this place. 美味しい 😋😋😋

We were here last week and revisited yesterday with my children for an afternoon lunch. We ordered Chirashi Don set and Curry Chicken Karaage set, both are very good. Very happy to find this tiny jewel, will continue to visit to explore more dishes 😋
