Impressive compact restaurant half way between Turnham Green station and Chiswick High Road. Reservations are encouraged given the small space.
HIGHLIGHTS:
eel dish with rice (see my photos) was a revelation with a rich fatty flavour usually reserved for a slow cooked pork belly.
The special sashimi collection is a very generous portion and delicious. Well worth the price. The tuna belly was a highlight together with the clam and scallop.
The smooth aubergine was a delight with its seedless texture just made the whole dish very light.
I would highly recommend liming here oh and ordering the plum wine!

This place is such a close to authentic and pocket friendly restaurant. It's not a fancy high fi place, but if you are craving GOOD sushi and you're around chiswick or Turnham Green this is THE place to go. The fish is so fresh, tender and melts in your mouth. The quantity is brill for the price too. Absolutely enjoyed our Sunday lunch there.
Reliably quality sushi - probably average a lunch here once a fortnight and the fish is consistent. The service is always attentive, warm and quick in the airy restaurant. My go-to is normally the Sashimi lunch which is a bargain at £11 for the standard of sashimi presented. It comes with miso soup, pickles and a bowl of excellent sushi rice but the fish itself is the star: fatty tuna belly may even feature if you're lucky. Some of the special rolls are impressive: the soft-shell crab in particular. For the more adventurous the menu extends to a delightfully grilled eel with teriyaki dish and squid with spicy cods roe, and uni (sea urchin) often features on the specials board although it runs out rather quickly: as a rather luxurious product, over-supplying uni of a lesser quality would be a disservice.
Although authenticity can be an over-bandied about term, Makoto has it in spades and is a cut above your standard London sushi. If you're a Chiswick resident, add it to your neighbourhood rota immediately.
