Authentic Japanese cuisine, teas , and drinks. The Sakura tea was delicious, the sushi was great quality and well prepared, the gyoza was tasty, and the Katsu was delightful.

Matcha heaven (seriously, your drink/dessert won't be just green and sweet, but will actually taste of matcha ). The miso aubergine don is a winner.

Andrea Suarez

Loved everything from the poke powls to the desserts ! The best definitely is the matcha brownie and the icecream by far, cheesecake not good, and mochis are not filled with icecream . Small place

Kevin Dulin

The Katsu curry was tasty!

George

The tips don’t lie. Chicken Katsu Curry is must - even better if you add a poached egg , kimchi and a little chilli sauce . The Pumpkin Katsu also looked nice, so will try that next time!

Anastasia Smolina

Amazing Japanese food & matcha place. Great sashimi type Kaisen poke , nice sushi and good miso soup . Best matcha ice cream ! ????

Lisa Twang

Forget Wasabi Bento and just come here for your Japanese food fix. It's more authentic , the seats are more comfortable , and the katsu curry is lovely. Portion sizes are smaller, but adequate.

Viv

The tasting box + matcha green tea latte . Oh and there are free wasabi green peas on checking in (at the time of writing). modern and good

Candice Ting

I had the chicken katsu curry - food came out quickly. It was nice but not the best I had ever had. However I would go back if I am ever in the area again.

Come with an empty stomach. Sushi , curry and ramen are all delicious.

Poppy Zhang

Both motcha cake and drink are amazing!

Matcha Monaka, matcha ice cream in delicate biscuits with a tiny lump of adzuki beans

Cannis Chan

Cozy place for chatting with friends. Worth trying if you are craving for some authentic matcha food/drinks

Daren Williams

Ramen (with beef mince ) was tasty though spicy . Salmon sashimi was top quality, about 5 large pieces + cubes of tuna .

Ivy L

Fantastic matcha desserts and high quality tea . Read my review on my blog (ivyeatsagain). Read more

Amira Aly

Succulent sashimi , delicious jasmine tea , and prawn dumplings to die for! Highly recommended!

Ronald DL

If you love matcha then this is your place. Lovely selection of sushi , katsu or bento options

????️

Matcha ice-cream is so good,i thought the taste of matcha doesn’t suits me until i tried this ice cream !!

Atheer Suliman

A great place for an authentic japanese food experience. Definitely coming back again ????

Jennifer Hardi

Try the Mochi ice cream . Green tea and sesame flavours are my favourite flavours

Leah R

Matcha lattes were nice, but a it was lukewarm which was a bit odd. My friends drink was almost cold and when she asked if it could warmed up, or she could get a new one they said that wasn’t possible

Nidhi Panicker Chitalwala

The teriyaki chicken sushi was so delicious! As was the tofu bowl. A very small place and super cheap !

Iv Aleks

Such a great place!It will be one of my favourites in a future!Lovely salads ,delicious salmon!Love it there!

Andy

chicken katsu curry is pretty damn good - chicken is super tender and fried perfectly

Bashayer

I love this places atmosphere and delicious clean food. Take a book with you and enjoy ur bento box

Boris ???? van Hoytema

Good, not to pricey , Japanese restaurant . Great to go to after visiting the Science Museum .

Priya Tungrus

Arrived at 3pm on a Saturday and there was a queue! 30 min wait for a small amount of tables. Will have to try take out if I can get past the queue!

Aqua Girl

Freshest sushi , free wifi , great service, right in the heart of South Ken ❤️

Priya Tungrus

Small restaurant at back. Lovely katsu curry . And a nice selection of green teas .

Melda Salhab

Matcha soft serve is quite refreshing but pleasantly not too sweet

Johannes Driessen

Lovely, simple Japanese food . Try the dumpling soup for a light treat

Ruslan

Matcha soft serve is best in town but poké bowls are small, and lack sufficient ingredients. Not nearly on same level as L.A.

Puppala Dupi

Everything is fantastic here especially the matcha tart and ice cream

Gavin Sullivan

Great lunch bento . Prawn dumplings . Miso salmon . Green tea latte and milk shakes .

B

Anything matcha (Japanese ground green tea )

afpc

When you order a pot of tea , staff offer to refill hot water for free!! Green tea cake is a dream! Thank you!

Jennifer Hardi

Try the plum wine and also prawn katsu ! They are my favourite!

Chris R (thechristophe)

Food was adequate, great green tea gateau and icecream . Decent prices. Don't order gyoza they get reheated in the microwave and as a result are chewy

Shaun Crampton

Katsu , tea and salmon bento were all very good

Gréta Barták

Reasonably priced Japanese place with a simple menu. Go for the katsu curry

Raulis Radziukas

Chicken curry was ok, but I didin't liked the veg sushi . Also the tea is intresting to taste :)

Gabriella Mcleen

Get the chicken katsu curry !! So good! Miso soup was one of the nicest I've had too.

Magda Iwaniec

Probably the best matcha latte I've had in London! ????

Anastasia

Nice little bonus: they now do a 10% discount for students with a valid photo ID student card.

Bub Chinpilas

Try their patisseries .. Its from Lanka.. Very delicious! Especially matcha ones..

Ben Adelie

Great macha ice cream and dorayaki . Authentically Japanese .

Stefanie Wai

my local haunt :) i come here for the bentos , houji cha and the AMAZING green tea gateau .

David Thair

Important note if you have a Tombo loyalty card: you have to give it to them BEFORE they've printed your bill, otherwise they won't accept it. ???? Makes it harder to be loyal!

Iban Benzal

Amazing Chicken Katsu Curry and good variety of teas .

Cat Giger

The tasting box is the first thing I had followed by a Matcha shake . Would recommend if you like variety.
