Lena KakavouliNovember 20, 2016Great mouthwatering super fresh sushi (sadly no scallops)! Yakitori grilled skewers are not to be missed! Always busy, better to book ahead. Takeaway option available. Staff very polite.
İdil YucelJanuary 14, 2017Great place to try. Try to sit next to the grill it is a great experience. I don't think they have the best sushi in london but it is very good. their grilled small dishes are great. Try sake.
M WOctober 8, 2014Excellent Japanese that's benefits from being slightly hidden in Hampstead. Good luck getting a reservation last minute. If you do, you'll eat food that's on par with some places in Tokyo.
Kornelija MaceviciuteSeptember 15, 2018Very cozy, lovely staff. Took both available skewer sets, seaweed salad and it was a perfect meal for two. Add some plum wine to finish the dinner!
Mila PopovaJanuary 31, 2013A genuine Japanese cuisine experience. Personal favs - the skewers, the grilled mackerel and a glass of plum wine. Even basics like miso soup and tofu are perfect here and worth mentioning.
josh taylorJanuary 12, 2018Never disappointed. The perfect case of letting the food speak for itself. Love love this place, though I'm not sure my wallet does. Must book otherwise no chance
Catherine SneydFebruary 10, 2023The sushi is excellent, handmade at arms reach in front of you and the hot grilled seafood is also exceptional
True japanese izakaya. Superb quality fish. Never had a disappointing experience. Have to try their amazing skewers prepared right in front of you on the indoor charcoal grill by a master chef.
Sole AngelAugust 3, 2017Amazing. Must go place if you look for traditional, well made sushi. Worth every penny.
Sof CNovember 14, 2012Their yakitori is probably the best in town. The grilled chicken wings are our favourite, scallops on hot plate also buttery and perfectly cooked. Avoid the lamb and duck.
hello_emilyJuly 28, 2014Lovely food but very small servings. Chopped tuna & spring onion sushi & red miso eggplant were great. & pork belly was succulent.
Jeremy BassinderApril 4, 2015This is about as an authentic Japanese restaurant as you can find outside Japan. Fabulous sushi and skewers from the grill
Cheng WangJanuary 1, 2020Food, service, ppl, everything was just amazing, love it, will definitely go again.
- Phil NomJune 17, 2016Come for the smoky yakitori menu, sake and izakaya vibes. Book ahead and ask for a grill-side seat
The Times and Sunday TimesAugust 7, 2014Grilled Set B, seaweed salad, little bit of sushi, small hot jugs of saké: totally Tokyo-tastic in the heart of Hampstead. Read more
- Toro Tuba, Hampstead Roll, Grapefruit Cocktail, Quail Egg Skewers, Pork and Sisho Leaf Skewer, etc
- Jojo TanSeptember 8, 2016Best yakitori in London!!! The chicken gizzard and hampstead roll are must try here!!!
- M WAugust 12, 2016Authentic Japanese izakaya/yakitori-ya. Whilst not the specialty, the sushi is good too..
Mitch RevySeptember 11, 2020Mixed platters are great way to try a bit of everything. Would rexommend!
Miso aubergine is our favourite dish. And try the plum wine.
Mikko ArevuoApril 12, 2014The spicy tuna inside out rolls, chicken liver and duck skewers are amazing.
BillAugust 21, 2010If you're checking in, then you're already set on the right path! Try their sake served in the wood box... the dry one is best!
Joe CohenNovember 26, 2009this is super dizzle sushi, the best in London and maybe the best outside JP...make sure you book cause it's small and they don't take walkups kindly...
Marshall StarjFebruary 7, 2010By far the best Japanese I have had in London. Get there early in the evening if you want to sample the delicious chicken wings with salt.
Clea RomeoApril 10, 2015Nice food but they brought everything out at once so half the hot food was barely warm by the time we got to eat it. We complained and they didn't really care. Wouldn't go back
alex alexsandrovMay 26, 2013И что так англичане прутся от этого места))люди якитория и тануки лучше в 100 раз))

"Yummy BBQ. All the kalbis, especially with miso or garlic butter, and the harami skirt steak. Pork cheek wasn't bad too. Go on Monday when it's ala carte happy hour all day. Recommend reserving."

"Great food and deletion of alcohol. Tucked away in the quiet streets of hampstead, it's perfect for a nice bite and a drink after a walk in the Heath. It's a bit on the pricey side though."

"One of my favourite spots in London. Great views of the city"
