I’ll never not adore this restaurant. I’ve been coming here for nearly a decade, not super regularly but it’s never disappointed me. The sushi is fresh and flavourful with soft and fluffy rice, the drinks and cheap and cheerful (get the plum wine!!!) and they’ve always got room for me and my friends. One of my fave sushi places in south east london, I would take anyone here. And the value is amazing!! You always leave full and they’ve always got something you want. It’s even good for my veggie and vegan friends!

Delicious mouthwatering food and a wide selection of authentic Japanese dishes to choose from; best I’ve had in London so far. Fantastic and warm service. Very reasonable prices. Wholeheartedly recommend. <3

Extremely slow service. Really wanted to love the place as the staff are nice. Starters were fairly tasty but after waiting over an hour for ramen to arrive we had to ask for the bill early as we had booked to see a film at the cinema nearby. There were only 4 other tables when we arrived and all already had their food so not sure why it was taking so long to make ramen. I thought an hour and 10 mins would be plenty of time to whip up some noodles but sadly not. Would come back but only if I have a spare 3-4 hours as it seems to take a while to make dishes. Not sure how they’d cope if the restaurant was actually full but definitely need more/faster cooks

Horrible food, nothing os anywhere near traditional, tempura was heavy and oily when it should be light and crunchy, salad can't be called a salad, sushi was frozen and wasn't even fully thawed then served. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT ACTUAL JAPANESE FOOD.

Cheapest and tastiest icecream mochi you will find! I've enjoyed everything I've eaten here and the staff are a delight. The prices and service and food is well worth a trip ❤️

We have waited too long to write a review for our most favorite place in London. And no, we are not in the so called new age "food critics" category, whatever that meand. If you're expecting high end service and a katana wielding lesson, this is not the place for you. We are also not "authentic Japanese food experts", as some gleefully label themselves, we just like the restaurant, top to bottom, authentic or not. Service can be slow at times, as it can be experienced IN ANY OTHER RESTAURANT ON THE PLANET, but if you're not going there after a starvation diet or during peak times, it should be fine. Consider that it is a family business and three, four people are usually doing everything, from cooking to serving and cleaning. We often take our own empty plates back or we even clear our own table, as to give them a hand (now the restaurant aficionados are going to have a mild stroke upon hearing this) but that, for us, is part of the charm of the place. Food wise, we have never been disappointed, I mean NEVER, and the price per quality and quantity can't be beaten in London. We are two average people and we never seem to pass over the 25 pounds bill, for both of us. That's literally the cheapest dinners we ever had in London. Since we've been going there for one year and a half we've got to know the staff and they've gotten to know us and we've always been understanding of the serving times or possible mishaps.So, my advice is to go there with an open mind and decent appetite and if you're planning to visit the restaurant at peak times, be ready to wait a bit for your food. And stop whining about everything.

Delicious food and excellent service at great prices, very warming and homely meal. Would recommend to everyone, good for groups of friends and family.
Loved it. Delicious and most appetising. Not expensive. Very clean. Excellent service. I also bought fresh Salmon and Avocado Sushi to take home.Vegetarian options: Bento box style. Salad, tofu, rice, ginger in separate compartments along with fresh tasting Japanese sauce. This order includes a warming bowl of Soup.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access to entrance and first tables.

Really nice food, good variety and great for non carnivores. Service was a little slow (was busy) but friendly and attentive. Hidden gem, this place.

Very nice food - all fresh and hot. I had the miso soup, vegetarian gyozo and a vegetarian sushi platter. Very generous portions too! I couldn’t finish the sushi so took some home. Service was nice and attentive (I asked if they could swap some of my sushi). To be honest I was sceptical reading about sushi in catford (there are not many restaurants here anyways) but I am honestly delighted ❤️

This is such an underrated gem and some of the best sushi I've had in South London for a ridiculously reasonable price! Don't judge a book b its cover - the front of this restaurant does not do this place justice. The sushi is as good as any I've had at fancy central London restaurants but for SUCH a low price. The staff are amazing, the unique setting (sunken tables) makes it so much fun, and the Japanese-Chinese menu includes all my favourite dishes from both cuisines! I almost don't want more people to find out about this place but the owners really deserve it because they're doing such an amazing job. The free matcha chocolate that they make in-house and give you with the bill was the icing on the cake !

Great food, the tempura is absolutely delicious. I love the traditional seating available for customers. Nice decor and nice prices as well.
