Harden's survey result
Summary
“They don’t need to try too hard” at Jun Tanaka’s “relaxed” but extremely accomplished Fitzrovia fixture. “Everything that’s on the plate is there for a reason… a good reason!” – his “very high-quality” cuisine is “very well-balanced” and service is “charming”. Top Menu Tips – “seared mackerel with pickles works well, beef cheeks is a signature, and turbot head is wonderful”. BREAKING NEWS: In summer 2022, a fire closed the restaurant, with no reopening date set as of mid August 2022.
Summary
Jun Tanaka’s brilliant Mediterranean-inspired cooking is showcased at its best at his casual six-year-old HQ in Fitzrovia. It’s “notably good value” for cooking of this “excellence” and “variety of flavours” – the sort of place you’ll “definitely go back to again”. Tanaka has done some TV but is relatively unsung – if he was a little better known, this place would be a household name.
Summary
“Mouth-watering food” – “French-style with a difference” – wows almost all visitors to Jun Tanaka’s “informal fine-dining” joint in Fitzrovia. “The food is taken seriously but the atmosphere is grounded and relaxed” – “when I want a solid and thoughtful meal, I go here”. Better still, it’s “a bit of a bargain for the quality”, and there’s “huge value in the wine list for a Michelin restaurant”.

For 32 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).

"The most attentive cooking I have had the pleasure to eat in a long while. Everything on the plate was there for a reason, a good reason! Service can appear a little brusque at first but once you interact with them they are a delight."
