Great Japanese restaurant, conveniently located. This Restaurant was a lucky find for a business dinner during the week. The food is good, fresh, and the menu is quite extensive. The service is very friendly, Professional and can manage a crowded place with ease. I can definitely recommend it.
Definitely one of the best in London. Very authentic Japanese food. Great service. Shout out to their staff, Hadi. Very professional and quick response to our needs. Will visit again.
I really enjoy my dining experience here. The atmosphere is relaxed and not too noisy that it’s difficult to chat. Food are prepared and presented beautifully, very delicious, staff are friendly and helpful with advices in terms of portions/ recommendations. I will return and would recommend to friends.
Shabu Shabu was really good. Presentation of the dishes were thoughtful and so well done. Staff super friendly. Lots of Japanese men hanging out here for after work drinks and dinner which reminded me of Tokyo. My oolong cocktail was pretty good too. Want to try the sushi next time
We had dinner with a group of 8 people. It was amazing! Super delicious food, very nice people, beautiful interior. All over ten out of ten would definitely come back any time, thank you!

very authentic and delicious - it reminded me of the food I had in a ryokan in nagano
A fantastic little Japanese eatery on Leather Lane, they sport a wide variety of both drinks and food. The interior was clean, well-maintained, and cozy. The staff was both friendly and helpful. I had udon and a fried mochi appetizer. Everything was tasty! ごちそうさまでした！
Very good and authentic food. My colleagues recommended Mugen for good Japanese food and they’re right!
I strongly recommend the fried soft shell crab and karaage, both were very tasty and crispy! The Kushiyaki 5kinds was also a great side, they got Yakitori,tsukune, sunagimo, uzura, sasami mentai. Quite a big variety of choice.
We’ll definitely come back for more!!
Amazing food ! I was walking leather lane on an excursion when I popped into this restaurant. It’s near Prufrock.
The staff is Japanese but the manager(?) isn’t. The only thing that turned me off is the manager customer service could be a little better. I walked in 8 minutes before kitchen closed for lunch (1:22 pm) and the restaurant closed at 2.
He insisted I order immediately after handing me the menu so I asked for water while I decided. Overall felt rushed to get out of there and made sure I did before 2.
I would have preferred more authentic nigiri but was so pressed to make a decision I just chose two salmon rolls. The spicy Mayo was a tad sweeter from what I’m used to.
I would still go back to try more dishes as I love Japanese food but the service was 3.5 for me. Food was 5/5
We ventured into Mugen one evening as we were looking for somewhere good to eat and we were not disappointed at all. The karaage was soft and tasty on the inside, crisp and tasty on the outside.
The chicken katsu curry was well cooked and the flavour moreish. I look forward to coming again to try more of the menu, a delightful experience!
Recommended by a friend who works at Mitsubishi and she said her Japanese colleagues all like this place for lunch. Can tell from the menu that the dishes are quite authentic: they have Chazuke and urchin. So, comparatively speaking, I did not feel like entering a Chinese food express to order some Hunan chicken….
Food quality is good. Sashimi is ok, nothing outstanding. The eel iron pot is worth trying, which would be cooking on the table in front of you for 20min.
Price-wise it is reasonably affordable given its location. A main dish would be £15-20 and we got roughly £35 per person in the end for a table of 6.
The reason for taking off one star is their shortage of staff. There was only one waiter covering all desks. He is Indian but speaks Japanese fluently. But sometimes it felt a bit uncomfortable that he kept asking you to take over the plates for help as if you were working there like his junior when he brought up the dishes. It was understandable but not ideal.
Delicious food, lovely customer service and quiet and relaxing even though it's quite central. As soon as I walked up to the door the owner (?) held the door open for us and I thought right away it was going to be an amazing evening
I had lunch here the other day. I absolutely loved it. One of the best place to have sushi in London. You might need early reservation for eating in. Bit expensive but quality and taste was on point. As a sushi lover I enjoyed it.
Superb and authentic Japanese cuisine. A hidden gem and one of the best Japanese restaurants in London. The Katsu curry is easily the best in town. Excellent service and it is always being a pleasure dealing with the manager, Hadi.
