A tiny, efficient sanctuary of authentic Japanese cooking near Victoria Station that puts local chains to shame with its high-value comfort food.
Ordering Strategy
Booking is absolutely essential as the space is tiny with only a handful of tables; it serves as a quiet pre-theatre spot or an intimate date venue.

Good to know
The restaurant is extremely small (approx 20 covers), so do not expect to walk in without a reservation during peak times. Service is notably speedy.
