First time there with my colleagues for a dinner ! The…read moreplace itself is really small and our group of 14 people had the place for ourselves ! Very comfy ! The place is owned by a Japanese family of six, all working together. This is place is not known for their sushi ( forget it, it's not the main food of Japanese food) but for their katsu ( fried food ) we ordered different dishes to share : edamame, kushikatsu, fried oysters, fishcake, pork, some greens... and of course sake ! Everything was very tasty, it reminded me Japan so much ! I totally recommend this place for enjoying nice and real Japanese food! Also it's not too pricy for London

This teeny tiny gem of a restaurant is absolutely fantastic. After stopping by in the afternoon,…read moreand finding they were only open in the evenings, say after 6pm, we called ahead to book a table for 2 at 7:00pm. It was a good thing we did, because the place filled up soon after we were seated. This please specializes in battered fried awesome on a stick. So do order some of these fun dishes. I also tried a bit of their sushi, and it was tasty and unfussy. But I think the highlight of the meal was trying new flavours, such as deep fried shrimp wrapped in perilla leaf. They also have a very nice sake and shochu selection. Try the red bean ice cream. Very subtle and a lovely texture with mashed beans included. Our hostess/waitress was a one woman wonder, and she made sure we loved everything. Don't be afriad to ask if you don't know what a sauce or side dish is. I learned I really like the yellow pickled radish called takuan that came with my partner's meal. and it made the hostess super happy too boot, as apparently, according to her, many younger Japanese don't like the flavour. Ah well, I know I did.

They weren't busy when we visited which was around 5:30 on a Tuesday. The sushi was good and I would absolutely get this udon again. The broth was AMAZING. The matcha ice cream was just ok to me- maybe it's my American taste buds but it wasn't very sweet so it was almost bitter and I didn't like that very much. But overall a great spot and I'd definitely go back.

I'm working from London for two weeks so I haven't been able to focus on finding food spots for me…read moreand my boyfriend as much as i usually do BUT we happened upon this gem! Everything was soooo delicious. This has been one of our favorite dinners in London. Tuna Crispy Rice - 10/10, rice was perfectly crispy, tuna was fresh, great flavor in the sauce Sashimi Salad - 10/10, the dressing was soooo good and all the fish was very fresh, I will be coming back for this again before I leave I'm going to let my boyfriend write about this because he ordered it: Kung Pao Chicken - 10/10 One of the best I've had. It had great ratios between the rice, the meat and vegetables. The flavors complimented each other well. It was savory and a little sweet, and salted very well. Vegetables were great, not mushy or underdone! Very good and will definitely come back for it!

There seems to be a lot of mixed reviews of this place on Yelp, but I thought it was quite good…read more The sushi was slightly on the pricey side (~70 GBP in total), but good quality. Volcano roll - This was my favorite, as there was a delicious mayo sauce with eel inside. A unique and tasty creation. Spicy crunchy salmon roll - This one was just okay. The sauce on top was a bit spicy but it otherwise didn't have too much flavor to note. 12 piece sashimi set - I could taste that the sashimi was fresh and I liked that there were scallops there too. The environment has a nice intimate vibe with some unique Japanese style seats. The service was fine, although the staff could have been a bit friendlier. The service speed was quick though. Overall, I think Dozo is a very good option for high quality sushi / Japanese food in South Kensington.

Best sushi in London and not typical London sushi prices…read more We've been here half a dozen times by now, always for lunch (Tip: if you're hitting up the musuems nearby, try this spot, away from the crowds.) They don't take lunch reservations and you don't need them. We always arrive right around 12pm when it opens and get a table. Speaking of tables, it's worth noting that they have embedded floor seating so the tables are low to the ground, but you still sit in a chair-like position. So you're sitting on the floor, on a cushion, and there's no back to rest against. I do not wear a dress when I come here, and it can be difficult to clamber into the "seat". They also have normal tables, too so be sure to ask for that if you want it. We always get the nigiri, which is very reasonably priced, super fresh and delicious, but they also have ramen, bento boxes, maki rolls, hot pot, donburi and noodle dishes.

It is located in the Japan House which has a shop and museum on the lower floors and this restaurant upstairs. We booked for afternoon tea on OneTable and they came out with the lunch menu which looked kind of pricy but we ordered the large tea platter which was full of tasty sushi and delicious snacks as well as a choice of tea or other drinks. I ordered the matcha and my wife ordered the sencha tea which were probably the best tea we have ever had. The service was pretty good but they forgot to give my wife a birthday desert (which was one matcha cake and one sponge cake with a candle) while they celebrated a birthday next to us. Not sure if it was a mix up since the booking said it was for a birthday or if she had a birthday twin next to us. Anyways, they felt bad and didn't charge for the birthday desert which was nice. We recommend this place for an authentic Japanese experience as well as their afternoon tea and to check out the free museum downstairs as it has rotating exhibits.
