Harden's survey result
Summary
With its “great selection of fresh, authentic and interesting Japanese fusion cuisine”, this high-grade local in Clapham continues to wow reporters, even though what was super-innovative when it was launched 21 years ago by a trio of ex-Nobu chefs is now found all over London. “It’s great to have an off-West End restaurant with reasonable prices and top-quality food.” “Every year it’s my favourite – nothing in London can compare with the grilled scallops and black cod washed down with an Electric Kamikaze buzz-button cocktail!”
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.
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).

Tsunami Restaurant Diner Reviews
"A little oasis in the north clapham hinterland. The restaurant is pleasant and bigger than it appears from the outside with tables nicely spaced. Decor could do with updating but it doesn't detract. Service was 'efficient' (rushed) but polite. Food was of a high quality, well seasoned and treated with respect."
