An immersive, high-energy counter-dining experience where serious Michelin-starred omakase meets a fun, unpretentious atmosphere with a loud hip-hop and pop playlist.
Ordering Strategy
This is strictly a set tasting menu (omakase) experience; you must book ahead for one of the specific sittings.
What to order
Mussel with Citrus Kosho Ponzu
Universally praised as a 'very tasty' one-bite opener that provides a fresh, acidic start to the 16-course tasting menu.
Shokupan with Chicken Liver Parfait
Hailed as 'one of the best' bread courses in London, this house-made milk bread is served with a decadent slab of cultured butter layered with chicken liver parfait and roasted apple mustard.
This Little Piggy
An 'almost-too-cute-to-eat' signature bun shaped like a pig, filled with rich pork trotter and a surprising 'oozing quail egg' yolk.
HFC (Humble Fried Chicken)
A 'real winner' that upgrades classic Japanese karaage using the succulent chicken oyster and finishing it with a luxurious 'healthy dollop of caviar'.
Foie Gras with Persimmon
Described by critics as a 'meaty ice cream sundae,' this creative dish features frozen foie gras shaved over sweet Italian persimmon and crunchy hazelnut brittle.

Good to know
The restaurant pivoted from casual yakitori to fine dining omakase (earning 2 Michelin stars by 2025). Seating is exclusively at the counter. The price point is high (£185+), and the vibe includes a lively soundtrack of Drake and ABBA.
