Astonishingly good!
I visited here with some friends - having been disappointed multiple times in supposed authentic Japanese food all across London, I really didn't have much hope for this one.
But my goodness - this was AMAZING.
I ordered the Tendon and Unaju - cooked to perfection.
Tendon
Crispy deep fried vegetables and prawn - they didn't skimp out on quantity for the price. Tasted superb with given sauce (reminded me of the infamous Tendon Makino from Kyoto). Made to order - everything fresh. Couldn't fault it at all.
Unaju
Just wow. Not rubbery, chewy or cold. And hardly any bones. Great skills in preparing the eel and even better skills at cooking it. FANTASTIC!
Staff are great, very welcoming and super friendly!
The only downsides are that it's too far from home and it is "kind of" hard to find? It's on the second floor of a shared environment where each floor is a different restaurant.
But seriously, this is probably one of the best, if not, the best Japanese restaurant I have been to in London.
No nonsense, authentic, pure Japanese food.
Love it!
HIGHLY recommend for anyone to visit.
When Japanese business (persons) eat here you know it's authentic. The clientele is mostly Japanese and we visit often. Patrons need to keep in mind that this isn't chain-store "sushi" to go. It is a place to be adventurous and to drink sake, whisky highballs, and have a fun time. This is also a place where chefs from other japanese restaurants hang out in their off time - so that tells you something. Ask the chef what she recommends - おすすめは何ですか?" (osusume wa nandesuka) and order off of the specials board. :) Enjoy!!
If you're looking for an authentic Japanese food experience at a reasonable price and at a few steps from Camden Town station, this is the place.
Fish was very fresh and nigiris were of the right fish/rice ratio. We also had Unagi and Ikura on rice, both delicious. Staff is very nice and they've been super accomodating with a lively 3YO.
Definitely recommend and will be back again. Truly happy to have an authentic Japanese restaurant in Camden!
