Harden's survey result
Summary
The sushi and other Japanese fare remains “very good indeed” at this “friendly and attentive” neighbourhood spot, which is above par for somewhere in the boonies of Willesden Green. (Old timers still remember when it was, for over 30 years, another Japanese called Sushi Say).
Summary
Willesden Green locals rejoice at “such delicious cooking on the doorstep” – continuing the tradition established by its predecessor Sushi Say over 30 years of Japanese cuisine that would be “good enough for the city centre”. Service is “very attentive and friendly”, offering “careful and patient explanation of the menu”.
Summary
With its “surprisingly high-quality Japanese cooking for a nondescript suburban strip” in Willesden Green, this accomplished local spot offers a “delicious omakase experience in a calm environment” – making it an adequate replacement for its predecessor Sushi-Say (the epitome of a wonderful, family-owned Japanese, which inhabited this out-of-the-way site for over 30 years).
Summary
“The best food in Willesden Green” is arguably a double-edged compliment, but should do nothing to detract from this accomplished Japanese, acclaimed by locals for its “super-fresh, true-tasting sushi” and other “exquisitely prepared dishes”. As with its long-time predecessor on this site (Sushi Say, long RIP), what is potentially a “dull” space is enlivened by the “charming” service.
For 34 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).
