Surrey, Japanese Restaurant Guide

“We keep going back for the top-notch Japanese dishes in sumptuous surroundings”, enjoyed in the surprising venue of press baron Lord Beaverbrook’s palatial mansion in the Surrey Hills. The “super-high-end sushi” and “tasty” Japanese grilled dishes are prepared by Wojciech Popow, founder of the Polish Association of Sushi Chefs, formerly of Noma in Copenhagen and Japanese specialist Yashin in London.

A “Twickenham institution”, this “small and very basic” Japanese canteen “is an absolute gem, with food to rival the top London restaurants” and “unassuming, hard-working owners and staff”. The “incredible service” is led by “the constantly friendly Bobby on front of house”, while “the menu is unchanging but consistently delivers good-quality sushi and Japanese dishes”.

This “very good neighbourhood Japanese”, one of the best in the Raynes Park enclave, earns plaudits year after year for its “excellent food and service”.
