I used to live in Japan and when I open the door to this little store, a wave of nostalgia hits me…read morefrom the smell to the instant greeting chorus of "irasshaimase~". I can get most of my basic Japanese needs in here and at a better price to boot. Rice, mugi-cha, tofu, fresh shiso leaves, and two types of konyakku! They also have free rentals of Japanese TV recorded onto DVDs. In the back is a fish mongers and an authentic "choose your fried food" box with korokke, yakitori, etc. There is also a small self-serve bar of freshly made items like hijiki salad, fried tofu age, Compact but well stocked, and there is usually sales outside in front of the store! Bonus!

They sell fish that you won't easily get anywhere else in London. Try the mackerel, the medium fatty tuna and the butterfish. You can choose to have the fish already cut into Sashimi.

I would give this restaurant zero stars if I could. Before coming today, I read reviews saying the…read moreservice was BAD SERVICE ATTITUDE! , but I thought we would be ok. We booked the table for 5 people at 12.30pm. The Chinese woman with glasses (I forgot to ask her name) who I assumed was the manager because she was dressed differently, came over to teach us how to order using the QR code. I asked if there was Wi-Fi and if I could get the password. She said, "Yes! But why don't you use your mobile data?" I explained that my number was American and the signal was weak and slow. She then gave me the password, but I couldn't hear her, so I asked her to speak slowly. She rolled her eyes, started to get annoyed, and raised her voice. I told her it was my first time here and why couldn't she be more polite? How was I supposed to know everything? It's not okay to provide service like that. In the end, I didn't order anything, but my friends did because the kids were hungry. I just sat there and waited to go eat somewhere else. I would recommend going to another restaurant. There are plenty of Japanese restaurants in London. There's no need to eat at a place with terrible service, especially with a 10% service charge. Good luck to anyone who is willing to have a new bad experience at this restaurant!

Kimura has taken over the locally famous Fuji Foods which for me did THE best sushi in all of London. Yep, as good if not better than Atari-Ya in London. Kimura has an almost identical setup inside and is staffed by mostly Japanese. I must say the staff upon entering were charming. One particular lady was just a delight to chat to (actually much better English than the Fuji staff haha). But she helped us no end and talked about the products I was gazing at. Ended up buying some Bulldog Sauce and Kipwee mayo which I had been looking for. Resonably priced too. One day I will try the sushi but that will be a very hard act to follow let me tell you. But it terms of service and Japanese products the more popular ones are there; with staff willing to go out of their way to help.

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 have always said that I don't mind paying a little more over the odds if the food is good. Little Tip.

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.

We had popped in to make an order that would be ready by the time we had finished at the pub just spent down the road. I'm not actually sure if there are sets but we got an array of individual sushi and group of sushi (comes in 6 and 4's) to order. I must say the prices are very very good value whatever the quality. They were waiting when we arrived 15 mins later and took them back to the house. Overall my comments would be that it didn't seem packed with fish in each sushi, quite ricey, but I could taste the freshness which was of course good. For sushi pieces of 6 to be £3.50 or thereabouts it is great value and cheap sushi fare. The quality of service is great and it's seems to be growing in popularity here in terms of trade. I thought the karaage chicken at only £1.80 and individual mackerel at £1.30 is fantastic. I think the sushi rolls might appear quite ricey heavy but for price as I say is great. And you should defo get individual pieces of nigiri that focus on fish on top of rice to demonstrate on the meaty fish. Wasabi and soy is free too. I will defintely be back for this affordable piece of sushi at sushi heads and to speak to the great staff.

First time visiting this restaurant since the South African owners sold Boombar several years ago…read more And the good news is that on the basis of this visit, it's every bit as good as Boombar was We had a big snack type meal - salmon teryiaki; California roll; prawn, fish and vegetable tempura donburi; soba noodle soup with tofu and spring onion. Every dish tasted freshly made with fresh ingredients. The rice was cooked just right, the tempura was light and crisp and the sushi excellent. I'll definitely be returning (but have to admit that I wish Wow had opened up next to Boombar so we could have them both).

Update: Just went in to eat there and NEVER AGAIN. It's such a shame because Yannick Bouvier - the…read morechef and owner of Shiso is a very talented chef but such a grade A asshole. He also owns Le Bistro next door which used to serve great French food. Walked past it today though and council notices line the windows. Seems like the council is after him, and have broken in and shut the place down. If you're seeing this guys he's right next door! I feel so sorry for the only waitress that works there who obviously has to deal with his shiz all the time. When we asked for some chilli sauce the waitress timidly went up to him only to be shut down. When we had finished eating everything and was just waiting for one more dish, the waitress again went up to him only to be told he wouldn't be making it under his breath. The poor woman had to make up some excuse about there not being anymore fish for that dish ...... it was a veggie salad. When we got home we realised we'd been overcharged for the bill. I think they sneakily added on service charge to each individual dish. So cheeky. Advice to Yannick: hire a front of house manager for gods sake and hide yourself in the back. It's the only chance you have for survival.

And it was good. We got avocado rolls, salmon rolls, salmon sashimi, chicken gyoza, shiso edamame and some rolls from the specials called 'ooh la la' rolls that were super good - mmm tempura prawn and avocado rolled in chives. YES. The avocado was deliciously ripe (important) and the salmon was excellent. I couldn't so much taste any shiso with the edamame but the sashimi came on a shiso leaf which I ate happily. The gyoza were good too, crisp with a flavoursome dip. The prices were really reasonable - we spent about £30 for the both of us - and it can be so easy to overspend with sushi I think. Service was friendly and we had no problems. I quite like the decor too though it seems sort of half done. It's fun, with some graffiti and the flying geese and fairy lights, then some random strip of wallpaper and animal horns and a big alien. It doesn't quite fill the space and the tables are bit sparse with fake flowers that look like they've died. I think they should forget the lame wallpaper strips and fill the walls with graffiti and throw in more lights, but the decor is less important than the food and the food was good and I'll be going back.
