Harden's survey result
Summary
“Exquisite Japanese fusion food as well as fabulously creative cocktails” have made this slick Clapham operation “a perennial favourite” for two decades; and it still gives West End names a run for their money. Top Tip – “gin dara – black cod with sweet miso. I know it’s a Nobu original but this is the best version in town”.
Summary
“Exquisite Japanese fusion food as well as fabulously creative cocktails” have made this slick Clapham operation “a perennial favourite” for two decades; and it still gives West End names a run for their money. Top Tip – “gin dara – black cod with sweet miso. I know it’s a Nobu original but this is the best version in town”.
Summary
“A real gem” – “extraordinary” – this Clapham fixture has for many, many years produced some of “the best Japanese you can get, at a really reasonable price”: in fact, locals feel “to be honest, it’s far better than the very expensive well-known Japanese restaurants in Central London”. It also mixes up “some of the most innovative cocktails in town”. The catch: “it’s always packed so the service lets it down... but that means nothing when you taste the food”. “Pity the Fitzrovia branch closed” – but do try Yama Momo in East Dulwich.
Summary
“Far superior to Nobu and a fraction of the price!”; this fusion Japanese is a long-running fixture on the Clapham scene thanks to its “complex menu” of “consistently delicious” fusion fare and “fabulous” cocktails. Drawbacks? – service can be “clueless” and the interior “noisy”. Note, the West End branch (in Charlotte Street) is now closed, although the team has opened Yama Momo in East Dulwich.
For 30 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).

"Reliable local serving Asian cuisine at reasonable prices. Miso aubergine a highlight, steak went down very well and the take away option also very good. Friendly service and cool ambience."
