Harden's survey result
Summary
“Consistently good food from an appealing menu” has earned a solid following for this Asian-fusion chain with branches in Soho, Marylebone, Primrose Hill, Chelsea and Barnes. Opinion is split on the relative merits of its two main offerings – all agree on the “terrific sushi” but others register both pros and cons for the hot dishes.
Summary
“Punching above their weight in terms of flavour and presentation” – this “buzzy” quartet of “medium-priced” Japanese/Asian fusion “pit-stops” are “fab little places” for a high-quality refuelling (the new Barnes site is “perfect before a film at the Olympic across the road”).

Summary
“Amazing sushi” and a “fantastic range of hot dishes” enable these “great value” Japanese cafés to stand out in the marketplace. They are “ridiculously small”, though – “you might not get a table”.
For 31 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).

"Japanese fusion, quite well executed. Not really the place to go for quality Japanese food, but useful in the neighbourhood. Helpful waiter guided us round complicated menu. "
