Harden's survey result
Summary
This “excellent Japanese restaurant” – now 10 years old – offers “unpretentious homely Japanese cooking and a great sake menu”. All the favourites are here, from noodles and tempura to kara-age chicken and gyoza, with the exception of sushi – but you can replicate its flavours by ordering assorted sashimi over the bowl of sushi-seasoned rice.
Summary
“This tiny place on the edge of Chinatown is a knockout”, with its “calming atmosphere and very, very good Japanese food”. It has built an enthusiastic following over the past decade for a good range of dishes, from yakitori and kara-age chicken to gyoza, udon noodles and tempura – but not sushi, which requires special training. There’s also a “good sake selection, at fair prices too”. Top Menu Tip – “salmon to die for”.
Summary
“Incredible food for the price of a Wagamamas” (“the best sashimi… feather-light tempura”) awaits at this “friendly and efficient” corner spot in Chinatown, whose Japanese cooking is impeccably “consistent” and “very fresh”. “The amazing yuzu and sake cocktail” is also not to be missed.
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).
