Amazing food - Roka Restaurant
www.rokarestaurant.com/ - CachedRoka is dominated by a centrally located Robata grill, where guests dine in full view of the chefs in preparation. Serving modern Japanese food with a western ...

Chisou - 31 Beauchamp Place is supposed to be good as well. I have not eaten there, but a mate who works in the area says it is very good but pricey as hell - so go for lunch if you're not a banker.

Don't pay too much for sushi. I've been to pricey places and the cheap place down the road is just as good. As long as the rice is made right and the fish is cut correctly, it's all the same. I only get nigiri though. Maybe it's different with rolls.

- educate me then sushi wizard. aside from fresh fish sliced correctly and properly made rice, what else is there?section_014
- the extra price often goes for 'having the rice made right and the fish cut correctly'... and eventually the freshness of the fish...maikel
- so let's say that perhaps your 'cheap place down the road' should be recommended, as usually cheap sushi is not fresh...maikel
- or has the rice made right, or the fish is cut correctly. Or perhaps, just perhaps, you cannot tell the difference.maikel

Clearly not in London but the only one good thing about Cambridge that I recall was the Porter Exchange, in Mass av. - That was the real deal. Good fresh unpretentious sushi and the best japanese curry that I ever had. You could even try bubble tea (only for the brave).

Not sure if its still the same sushi restaraunt but just off Regent Street, down to Hanover Square there is/was a Japanese department store. The ground floor corner of that, used to be (and I stress this was in the mid 90's) the absolute best sushi place in the whole of fucking ENGLAND, MAN.
If it hasn't changed hands and they still do it properly, it knocks all other sushi into a greasy bag.

Atari-ya in Bond Street... only 5 tables though.
I think they do mostly catering but the Sushi is pretty fucking good.- I have heard this recommended before, never been there myself though

the place voted the best sushi in London consistently is Sushi Hiro in Ealing. Kiraku is next door and is also brilliant.
Ealing common is home to Londons biggest Jap community.

I live across the road and eat in them all the time. They are just the best sushi in London.
If you're looking for more central they tend to be quite pricey, but I must say that Tosa in Hammersmith is good, and Roka is amazing but full of cu*ts
UMU in Mayfair is fantastic too

^ being very, very, very honto totemo ironic.
hate that store.
and itsu. itsu means 'when' in Japanese, but the food is a real jumble of asian 'inspired' crap. the question is 'itsu' are they going to start doing decent japanese food.
There's so many chains of japanese restaurants nowadays in London, but none are authentic or high quality or even matching the level of service you get at some of the cheapest salaryman chains in Tokyo.
They know they can get away with it as most people won't have gone to japan or lived there.

Dreaming London gets these chains:

http://www.sukiya.jp/and a couple Family marts(selling muji snacks) and some 7-11's and a Circle K would be awesome, especially if they did Oden.
Please come and replace the rip off, grumpy service foreigner ran corner stores of london.
