This place is competent for Japanese food representation in London.

Had some seafood udon noodles, a soft-shell crab bonsai roll and one of their "spicy tuna bombs".

The noodles were OK - but a wee bit to saucy (wet)

the bonsai soft-shell crab roll was the highlight....

I cant call this place a true izakaya as they don't offer Tokyo staples such as whiskey and sodas (highball). In fact they just carry beer wine and sake.

Also they don't carry other izakaya staples such as tempayaki sticks nor does it have any of the festive menu combos that Japanese izakaya are known for.

Considering sushi and japanese food in London is terrible for the most part, this place is a bit refreshing but not good enough for me to rate higher than three stars.

Also something I ate gave me a moderate allergic reaction which hasn't happened to me once in 20 trips to Tokyo over the last decade. Not sure what it was.

Hey - its better than Tonkotsu!

Solid sushi. Fresh fish with good flavors. Reasonable prices. The fried gyoza (dumplings) also good.
