Seriously the best sashimi in London and I've been all over London and Europe testing sashimi. This place is the best. Unpretentious, fresh and home-made! Their Gyoza is freshly made, the sashimi melts in your mouth, the hot food is so good here. I visit here every week as can't get enough. This place deserves a visit. Seriously divine and very good value!! ❤️ Azuma!!
Excellent value and really nice food. Me and my daughter can't get enough, went there for lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Could do with a hot vegetarian main option but maybe I didn't see it on the menu I'm sure if asked for something could be done as it's all freshly prepared
Great affordable Japanese food, large portions which are great for the value. Will come back again.
£4.50 for a delicious chicken katsu curry and other excellent items on the menu. Had a great first time experience and will return again soon!
Excellent food. Best sushi I’ve had in London and well priced. Authentic food and chicken and beef are halal too. We will be back!

We don’t usually head down Holloway Road for food, but we had a sleeping baby and had just dropped off our kids at play dates nearby so decided to see what we could find for lunch. Azuma is a really unassuming restaurant, although I’d be more inclined to call it a cafe as it’s very casual inside. The set up is basic, as is the decor, and at first glance, it looks like you should go up to the counter to order. But no!
We popped in around Sunday lunchtime and it wasn’t too busy - about a third of the tables were occupied. Despite this, I think only one person was covering the tables so it took a short while before we were given menus.
We ordered the gyoza, karaage, chicken teriyaki and chicken katsu. Portions were generous, it was well priced and most importantly, tasty. A mum and son were having sushi next to us which looked great, and they also ordered bibimbap which I made a mental note to order next time. There will definitely be a next time!
Overall, service was ok. We had some confusion over communication, but we got there in the end. They didn’t seem to have some of the drinks which were on the menu, so that’s also something to take into consideration. However, our waitress was friendly and polite.
I’m keen to come back here again with my kids - I think they’d really enjoy the food here and I’d love to get them to be more adventurous (which isn’t saying much as they’re suspicious of everything which isn’t beige) and try sushi and some of the rice dishes.
My other half said he’d describe Azuma as “tasty, good value and relaxed”.
I’ve been coming to Azuma for the last 3 and a half years. Each and every-time that I’ve visited the food is extraordinary, fresh and prepared in a fast manner.
The service is welcoming, warm and comforting, as well as very attentive.
The restaurant has space for both family and individual visits, and I highly recommend it to others in the local area.
Love this place, the chef is a lovely old Japanese man and makes authentic Japanese food with large portions at a cheap price. All hot foods are either £8.50 or a bit more than £10, the service is so nice as well. While there is a wait for the food, honestly its really worth it knowing the man is cooking the food himself and at such a high quality. I really cant recommend this lovely restaurant enough. My family goes here so often and its always such a great time. I recommend trying their katsu curry, tempura udon and katsudon. I adore this place!! Everything here is delicious!!! Ive literally tried all the dishes here.
Just had the best sushi takeaway from Azusa this weekend. We’ve tried a few and eaten in at some places in the area, but the quality of the tuna, salmon and sea bass was great. Ordered a few mixed sushi platters and a couple of rolls which were fantastic. Not eaten in yet but I’m sure it’s better! Will definitely order again. So pleased we discovered this place.
Really great Japanese food. Best chicken karaage we’ve had and chicken katsu and sushi both excellent and v authentic also. Very friendly staff and great to see non-alcoholic Asahi. Can’t wait to come back and try everything on the menu. Cheap and cheerful unassuming place which needs to be visited to be appreciated. Can see myself becoming a regular.
Food is great and freshly cooked, though portions are a little small (especially the rice portions). Tempura and katsus are freshly fried on order, which I really like. That said, this is definitely not a fancy place: lots of tables and clean but not much atmosphere, you seat yourself, order at the counter, get your own utensils and drinks from a fridge. But it is affordable and genuinely tastes like authentic Japanese food - most mains are under £10, starters/sides are about £5. I’ll keep going back.
beautiful and tasty food. we had ramen, katsu curry and some gyozas and everything was delicious! worth coming in
This place stands out in the area with a fair amount of Japanese spots. The sushi is absolutely delicious, the rice is a little bit sweet which is lovely. It’s fantastic value, the rocket in the box is peppery, the wasabi is not mustard dyed- it’s the real deal. The quality of the fish is exceptional. The chicken katsu is also great. The chef who gave us our food to takeaway was very sweet. The food is very affordable. Recommend highly.
Great homely place, been coming here for years, the service is always so kind, the price is very reasonable and the food lovely. Love catsu curry and sushi here. YOU WILL NOT REGRET making this your go to place for sure :)
Great Japanese and Korean food, close to Holloway Road tube station. Spacious space and very clean. Reasonable price.
Went recently with my girlfriend to eat. The food was very good. The chicken karage for one, was sublime. Lovely friendly staff, very low key and competitively priced. Will be coming back, for sure!
Lovely casual dining. Great prices and our food was amazing. The lady serving us was very helpful and kind. We will be back.
Bibimbap comes in large portion and tastes great! The portion of chicken katsu curry is a bit small though. Fried chicken is good. Miso soup is too salty. Sushi combi plate is ok over all. A meal deal of one main dish + miso soup/drinks is £6.95 and is a very reasonable price for me!
Visited again and would still highly recommend! Especially the bibimbap!
Best sushi in London and for an affordable budget! We lived in the area, now visiting London and couldn't wait to taste their ramen and sushi again. We cannot believe it's so quiet here. It should be buzzing 😉
Delicious high quality food. Good variety of dishes available at a very reasonable price. Becoming a regular spot for me!
Wheelchair accessible/friendly too
I’ve been here twice and I am in love with this place. The food is to die for and very filling. The staff is super nice. The chef, who I’m assuming is the owner even asked if we wanted to keep our friend’s bibimbap warm until she got here. (She was really late) The chicken teriyaki don is absolutely delicious I would definitely get it again. The tempura is definitely a winner. All my friends tried it and are tempted to come in the next day for more.
Very tasty food and low prices! We really enjoyed our dinner.
Unique slightly negative aspect: the place is not particularly beautiful.
Really good restaurant in Holloway. I love their yakitori and everything. We loved the quality of food and the value for money. I highly recommend this restaurant if you like Japanese food.
They are very nice and friendly. They did the seared salmon roll for us. It is one of our favorite places in Holloway. It would be nice they add more of a personal touch to their layout and decoration.
