Harden's says
All change! – the restaurant (names for its speciality dish, the hand roll) closed after 5 years in Brixton Market in 2025 and in February 2026 has headed for the bright lights of Mayfair, to open on Maddox Street in partnership with the Crown Estate who are "excited to welcome Temaki to the West End. It is a great example of a rapidly growing independent operator which is ready to establish itself in the heart of London". The ground floor houses an open kitchen – downstairs will be a 28-cover bar.
Harden's survey result
Summary
Billed as London’s first hand-roll sushi specialist when it opened five years ago, this tiny counter operation in Brixton Market serves very high-quality Japanese bites at a good price. If you have always wanted to taste wagyu beef or sake but balked at the cost, this might be your opportunity – a small plate of wagyu is £15, a sake flight £19, and fans find it “a seriously excellent experience”.
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).
