Harden's survey result
Summary
“Inventive” Japanese-inspired cuisine (including “great sushi”) wins praise from a big fan club for Robert & Pat Barnett’s “lovely” long-established venue, which is unusually glam and ‘West End-y’ for somewhere in the boonies of Parsons Green. Ever since its Mao Tai days (you’re dating yourself if you recall those) it’s had a forward-looking formula: currently this comprises sashimi, seafood tacos, tempura and kushiyaki and grills from the robata.
Summary
“By far my favourite in South West London and beyond!” – Robert & Pat Barnett’s “very buzzy” pan-Asian in Parsons Green took over where its former incarnation Mao Tai left off as a place for a big night out for Fulhamites not wishing to schlep into the West End. “The food is always super-fresh; there’s a diverse wine list and the cocktails are as good as you’ll get anywhere… it’s always my eating place of choice even if it can be a bit heavy on the wallet…”
Summary
“You could be in the West End” at this “exceptional local restaurant” by Parsons Green, “serving contemporary Japanese cuisine” – “the ambience is glamorous and cool, the service friendly and efficient, and the food excellent, fresh and tasty”. It also has an “elegant and classic cocktail bar”.
Summary
“A perfect place this side of town”, say fans of this long-established pan-Asian – tucked away in Parson’s Green – whose swish décor and diverse menu (sushi, sashimi tacos, udon noodles, wagyu steaks, kushiyaki skewers, wood-roasted fish…) can make it a good choice for a special celebration. But it doesn’t attract the volume of feedback that it used to.
For 35 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).
