Best Japanese Restaurants in London

The best new Japanese restaurants in London

Healthy and energising, but still totally satisfying, Japanese cuisine was, is and will always be having a moment. Based on the profusion of sushi bars and Japanese-themed restaurants, London is a hub for the enduring culinary trend.


What Londoners want, London delivers: Whether you prefer sashimi, sushi, tempura, ramen, gyoza, yuzu or bento (or are just hungry to try any of the above), London has it. Here are the established best Japanese restaurants, plus a couple of new contenders


Sosharu, Clerkenwell



The menu here has sashimi, teppanyaki and robatayaki dishes rather than sushi or ramen. Downstairs a basement bar serves cocktails to the sounds of Japanese hip-hop to encourage dancing – ‘Sosharu’ translates into English as ‘social’.

Tokimeite, Mayfair



Tokimeitē brings to London. a contemporary interpretation of classic wa-shoku cuisine. Set over three levels, each with a different aesthetic, you can have a more informal meal or dine in the elegance of a more private space.

Murakami, Covent Garden



Find respite from the bustle of Leicester Square at Murakami. We tried the Volcano Rolls, Wagyu Beef, and Citrus Sake – all were unforgettable.

Umu, Mayfair


Traditional Kyoto-style cuisine made with expert precision and served in a stylish modern setting, Umu’s impressively discreet service ensures that this is the slickest Japanese dining experience in London. The sommelier offers more than 70 types of sake, and much of the fish is flown in from Japan.

Mommi, Clapham



Technically a Japanese-Peruvian fusion, the food at Mommi should be enough to lure you off the Clapham High Street any day of the week: book for an unusual brunch or go after work and pick a cocktail from their impressive range.

Roka



There are four Rokas around London – Mayfair, Aldwych, Canary Wharf, and Fitzrovia – and each one provides a dark urbane corner for some of the best (if most expensive) Japanese food in London.

Gyoza Bar, Covent Garden


Dine out on delicious dumplings at Gyoza Bar – the salmon gyoza are something special. The varied bao board makes this a great lunchtime pop-in as well.
