“ Unbelievably high quality Japanese food. Other reviews say the food was bland, I say they are getting kidney stones soon because British/Local taste buds are too numb to enjoy to subtle nuances of Japanese flavors. The prawns gyoza is exceptionally good with the shrimp meat bouncy to the taste and full of sesame oil flavor. It's definitely not something that is made cheaply like other takeaways. The miso soup was traditionally nothing fancy but this one is authentic to the Japanese taste. The chicken rice has skin on it which I really love, unlike the british chicken which always peels the skin off. All in all, this is an authentic experience for a very good price! ”
“ One of the best sushi spots in London! Very fresh, great variety, lovely lady on the phone! Would recommend the tempura roll! ”
“ Ignore the 3.8 stars review it looks like that's mainly due to delivery issues from the past. We have moved in down the road and for the past 3 months this has been our go-to takeaway. The food is amazing, I love all the pan fried noodles, the katsu curries but most of all the gyosas ”
“ The best and most consistent food for Japanese I have had outside of central London restaurants. ”
“ Food was great, will come back, I got about 10 prawns in my dish. It was great. The Tori Kara Age is nice, crispy and soft. ”
“ I’ve been a customer for nearly 6years now, and I can say they have one of the most reliable quality of food. The service is quick and really polite, but best to pick up in person as delivery drivers are often a let down in my area. ”
“ I ordered Amai Udon and salmon and tuna sashimi. Everything tastes delicious and fresh. The food presentation was excellent as well as the packaging. The delivery was on time. Good value for money. Will definitely order again and again. Local classic, it's been here for years and the couple that run it have been a fixture of the local community for a long time now. Food never misses the spot. Great meal deal, less then 8 for lovely dumplings and a generous and tasty portion of Katsu curry. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu! ”
“ Some people mentioned delivery issues, but I ate there and I can tell that it’s the most original Japanese food I have ever eaten in my whole life. The service is amazing and the prices too. It’s a 5/5 to me ”
