Buzzy Japanese in East Dulwich (younger sister of Clapham’s long-established Tsunami), that’s “always busy due to the reliably tasty (and never-changing) menu” of sushi and sashimi, plus more substantial fare, backed up by “excellent cocktails”.

This “great local Japanese” in East Dulwich is the “small, younger brother of Tsunami in Clapham”, and attracts a “buzzing crowd of local regulars” with its “good sushi and sashimi, crisp tempura, and sizzling hot plates of steak, chicken and fish”. Service is “cheerful if occasionally haphazard”.

“Consistently high-quality food and cocktails” set the tone at this Japanese izakaya in East Dulwich, from the ex-Nobu team behind Clapham’s well-known Tsunami. “Occasionally you get the sense that some of the staff don’t really know what they’re doing” – but most reporters are more than happy with the sushi, sashimi, tempura and other delicacies on the menu.

The “very good cooking at this Japanese fusion place” – an offshoot of stalwart Clapham hotspot, Tsunami – makes it a popular option in East Dulwich. Service, though “sweet”, has slipped a notch, though: “they sometimes seem more interested in serving cocktails than getting the food sorted”.

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).
