Popped in for lunch with a friend yesterday. Mondays are always slightly odd for eating fresh fish,…read moreas Billingsgate is closed, so how "fresh" can the fish be? you must ask. it was superb. We had salmon, salmon and more salmon. I'd say the miso soup ain't great and the green tea tasted like hot water, but the actual sushi... well, that was delicious. I went for the salmon set, and my friend ordered some individual bits. We both went back for more. Presentation is 5* and the quality was excellent. A very worthwhile stop - skip the miso and green tea tho'

I have been Japan and out of all the places I have been in London this comes the closest to feeling like your are in Japan. I had Japanese curry, prawn tempura and Japanese dumplings, nothing was frozen, was all made fresh. It's a little pricy but it's in high gate so everywhere is going to be a little more costly then your average place.. I have always said that I don't mind paying a little more over the odds if the food is good. Little Tip. If you get there 10 minutes before closing they some times give away free food when you buy something.

Absolutely brilliant, a hidden gem. Get in quick as this place will be queued out the door soon!…read moreAmazing sushi, dumplings and even ramen. We are lucky enough to live close and come here a lot.

Disappointing experience, good food, terrible service, and zero respect for customers…read more We were given a 1h15m dining window, which we accepted. The ordering was slow, and despite writing our order out in the Notes to avoid any confusion, dishes still arrived wrong. It took a lengthy conversation with our server before she even understood what had been sent out incorrectly -- time we simply didn't have. We raised the issue and noticed them we wouldn't be able to finish in time given their mistakes. Their response? After 1h 15min, staff swooped in to clear plates -- while one of our friends was still eating. And they still charge a service fee for this? The food is the one saving grace, but the management is chaotic and the attitude toward customers is unacceptable.

A very authentic Japanese restaurant on the outskirts of London. I sat by the grill bar where I…read morecould watch the chef grill the meat before me. The hamachi kama was nicely charred and still very juicy on the inside. The skewers (yakitori and beer tongue in the picture) were also very tasty and the meat was very tender. They also had a decent drink menu with several sake options and mixed drinks like Japanese fruit sours. They are reservation only but their online system is simple to navigate. I look forward to visiting this restaurant again to try their other skewers!

Great little find.. Actually my brother found it and it was a great place for a family lunch today…read more They have great bento selections and see pictures as I'm sure we nearly ordered everything they had in their bento selection... Staff was great in dealing with all 16 members of the family.. Location I'd good, free parking on a Sunday. Fish was fresh and very healthy portions too. I actually couldn't finish my bento and sneak a few sashimi into my nephew box when he wasnt looking I don't think he noticed. I suggest booking if you have a big party as the venue is very small.. One thing they only have one make and female toilet, be prepared to wait if you all decide to go at the same time. Great family atmosphere and will definitely be back.

This is definitely THE place to eat japanese in Camden's Stables! They prepare it as you order, so…read moreyou always get a fresh, hot serving of food, and it's a big one too! I love their deliciously fried chicken and salmon box that comes with a really good mix of cabbages. Price wise, it's a great value as well, a box that will make you definitely full (unless you eat half of a piglet for breakfast;p) cost around £5-£6. What can I say more - best street japanese takeaway I've eaten in London! Only one thing could be improved - please wear gloves while preparing food!;)

My favourite cuisine in all of London. I get to visit Highgate every Summer from NYC and anyone I…read morebring with me MUST come to Sushi Wa. I've tried everything on the menu but highly recommend Spicy Chicken Karaage, Sweet Potato Croquettes, Banana Fritters (yum), and all the sushi variations. The staff treats me kindly every time I come especially being that I go every single day when I'm there. But no questions asked, must try. I'm including a lot of pictures.

When Sushi Wa opened in our neighbourhood, we were all excited as the previous restaurant had been…read moresuch a failure. (Seriously, I think it was a money laundering business as they never had any customers, it seemed.) And thus a few days after it opened, we went to try it out...that was quite a while ago and we've been back several times since. However, to be quite honest, Sushi Wa wasn't what I would call one of my instant favourites. My first visit was actually not so much of revelation - I liked the decor, the nice service, but thought the food was only so so. Plus, I thought it was odd that a sushi place would also offer a partially Korean menu, such as bi bim bap. Now Sushi Wa has come to be one of our deafult take-away locations and funnily enough, the bi bim bap has become a favourite of mine. (To be sure, it's not amazing, but quite good.) My partner always orders the Mixed Chirashi and the rolls are generally also of very good quality.

They offer delicious lunch specials that are portioned well and have plenty of variety. I recommend this place to anyone who is hankering for Japanese delights.

I love any cuisine that allows you to try multiple dishes. Gone are the days of three set courses,…read moreI want six, nine, fifteen!!! That's probably why I and the wife love tapas, dim sum, but above all Japanese. In NW London you can find some exceptional dining options - Sushi Say in Willesen, Cafe Japan in Finchley, Atari-ya in Swiss Cottage. All worth trying. We happened to come across this place late last summer, whilst we had to temporarily stay in Kentish Town due to our flat flooding. I'm so glad we were forced to, as Kami beats all of the above for selection, freshness, taste and presentation. Our standard measure of Japanese restaurants is the miso soup, and Kami does it superbly. It's no surprise then to find out that the main chef is a graduate of fine dining restaurants such as Sushi Samba. The restaurant lacks a bit in atmosphere, but don't let that put you off. Go. Cross town. Order a take way. Best in North London.

Talk about authentic, this place is a gem. Just got out of a concert and needed food badly, found out this place opens late. Walked in at 10.40pm and they still took orders. Has a wide selection of sushi, sashimi and set meals. Meal sizes are just nice and the prices are decent. High quality meat, tastes lovely Lovely staff, quick service and lovely ambience. It's a nice place to chill, and have drinks. Enough seats for couples, groups and families. I wouldn't say it's kids friendly cause it feels like a place where adults come in to let go some steam after a long day (maybe it's because I'm here at almost 11pm). Also no space to park a stroller. I'm going to come back here to chill DF out lol

We are so sad. This used to be a very reliable, authentic Japanese restaurant, but now has gone…read moredownhill. French Beans with Sesame Dressing had perfectly-cooked beans, but the dressing lacked depth of flavour and the portion was tiny. Ten Zaru Soba (cold buckwheat noodles with tempura) had tasteless, watery dip. The noodles were cooked nicely, but Tempura was very greasy. Sake Shioyaki - grilled salmon with salt - was very small and was just plonked on top of lettuce; presentation was awful. The rice portion was very mean, too. Very bad value for money.
