    Recommended as a good option for dinner while in town…read more Stopped by to add our name to the waiting list as we were told it would be an hour wait (actually 90 minutes). Waited at a pub across the street as suggested. We checked back a number of times and felt others were called in before us. We finally got in at 9:30pm and escorted to the bottom section of the restaurant, small but happy to be sitting down. Vibe was quiet but not bad, just not the same as upstairs. Our wait staff advised us that it would be 20-30 minutes add'l for any Sushi or Sashimi, which is what this restaurant is known for as well as Korean? ? ? OK, so we wait since we're highly invested now, we finally get very simple items: edamame (lacking rock salt), a roll, a few sashimi and soft shell crab. The food was simply "just" OK but not worth 115 minutes of my life. All of the sudden @10:15 on Friday night, the wait staff drops the ticket on our table. We are not finished, called her over and asked why we have the bill. She says it's time to close & the Sushi chef turns off the works light. We call the manager (who has a very uncaring attitude) and ask what's going on AS we just sat down? He says that it was last call and we said we were not made aware of this. He reluctantly said OK & another staff member with even more attitude literally says nothing and drops the food on the table with no thank you, no enjoy your entree or did she bring any sauces. I try to avoid negative postings like this but I'm unsure how to improve this. The facts are the facts!!! The staff needs some classes in "customer care". These guys clearly have more business then they know what to do with. I will take my hard earned money to one of many other similar restaurants in the area,

    I seeked this place out because of its great yelp reviews and it also gave me an excuse to invite…read moremy friend along who lives around the area. When we first arrived, the small little restaurant was packed, and they kindly let me know it'd be about a 20 minute wait so we decided to go grab a drink elsewhere and come back. With Korean and Japanese on the menu, I went with ordering a Shrimp Tempura Crunch roll, Bulgogi Bibimbap, Dakbulgogi, and Jap Chae. The crunch roll was very good, and the great thing was that it tasted very fresh, which is always a plus. The Jap Chae was okay, not exactly sure what was off about it but it needed a little something. The bibimbap was very tasty, however, Bibimbap in Soho beats them on this one in my opinion. The Dakbulgogi was delicious. Succulent chicken drenched in spicy sauce, I love it. We also ended the dinner on a good note by getting some green tea ice cream. Overall, a lovely place with very good food. A bit out of my way, but if I'm ever craving some Korean, Dotori is a nice spot to go to.

    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.

    I love the Korean bbq experience of cooking your own meat, but it seems like they prioritise the…read morechef cooking on wood charcoal now, which I am not complaining about. The Samgyupsal (Grilled Pork Belly) was delicious! Probably my favourite in England so far. It's always hard to find here because so many places serve only Halal to cater to the local populations, but it's always a treat for me when I find the authentic dish in the UK. It was juicy, fully cooked through, and perfectly lightly flavoured with salt and pepper. I ordered 3 of my 4 favourite dishes here. The other two are Samgyetang (Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup) and Tuna Kimbap. The Tuna Kimbap is also hard to find in England and I don't know why. It's a simply colourful and delicious dish to make and doesn't take much cooking. The Samgyetang broth was good and the meat was tender. It didn't come with salt and pepper on the side which it traditionally comes with in my experience since it's normally a very very light broth, but this time it felt light and fresh but still had a good amount of flavour. The owner and server seemed nice and are Korean so I made sure to say 맛있다 or mashita expressing how tasty everything was and my love for their cooking. It's on a main road and close to Middlesex University, if I was a student again, I'd definitely be here all the time, haha. Note that there aren't banchan (traditional Korean side dishes) but it was still a very filling experience and not overly greasy. Also, the Brown Rice Green Tea is my go-to tea, but it came in a teabag which I wasn't expecting, still lovely though! I'd love to come back sometime and try more faves. Maybe I'll bring family.

    So I have never been to Korea but I genuinely feel this is quite close to authentic :) It has what…read moreI find really home-feel made noodle dishes - my go to dish is the Japchae (sweet & savoury stir-fried glass noodles with veg & chicken) - however the menu has a whole array of good choices. The reason this is 5 star though is because the Korean fried chicken here is just banging! :) Strongly recommend - whenever am craving fried chicken - not too often it serves up a treat. You can get the mixed variety with half honey glazed & half normal. Josh the owner is really nice - cute family run biz plus always has kpop in the background. Yep IU, BTS you name it ;) great addition to Hendon.
