Epsom is lucky to have quite a selection of restaurants but the choice is quite narrow - a lot of…read moreItalians, some Indians, 2 Thais, one Chinese and one Mediterranean. In fact, Surrey as a whole doesn't have a foodie feel, unlike areas west of London like Berkshire, which is full of Michelin starred establishments. So, I was very excited to see Makiyaki's sign over the door of this restaurant site. This had housed Oliver's in the past, one of my favourite restaurants in Epsom which sadly closed. A Japanese restaurant is certainly a novelty in this part of Surrey and they've opened in Epsom's own restaurant row area of South Street.. Makiyaki will however be able to draw on the experience of their established sister restaurant of the same name in south Wimbledon. They've initially opened up just the ground floor, going with a modern theme, complete with jazz music. The menu leans strongly towards sushi with half the menu dominated by a great variety of rolls, all complete with photo. There are cooked options for the squeamish as well as the traditional raw fish. You'll also find Japanese stalwarts on the menu as well as the occasional Asian interloper like Korean bulgogi. My starter of chicken karaage came as about 10 moist bite size bits of chicken in crispy seasoned batter served with sweet chilli dipping sauce. It's easy to dry out this dish but this was an excellent version. For main, I went for the special sashimi set. This started off with a bowl of miso soup and some Japanese salad, which was covered in a moreish dressing. Then, the piece de resistance. A beautifully presented slab on which was placed 3 very generous slices each of salmon, tuna, yellowtail and sea bass as well as 3 slices of California roll. A little hill of gari (pickled ginger to clean your palate between mouthfuls) and wasabi completed the plate. The glistening look and clean smell of the fish revealed its first class sourcing and it was lovely to chew and savour each thick slice. The pricing, as for most Japanese food, isn't cheap but for this quality, it's value for money. The food is also available for takeaway. The presence of a Japanese restaurant in the heart of Surrey brings a big smile to my face. Is Epsom ready for raw fish? I certainly hope so!

Everyone starts with a miso soup - which was delicious - and then you choose from one of 4 options - I tried tofu for the first time in my life and was so pleased that I opted for it as it was really good. My son had the pork dumplings and really enjoyed them. We had the sushi for our main course which was also excellent. All of this cost £14.90 each and the other 2 lunch menus were cheaper - the cheapest was £9.90. We shared a black sesame ice cream and really enjoyed that too. The service was very good and friendly. They had another table with people with children, one in a high chair. They don't take bookings for lunch times as they are not very busy but they recommend booking for evenings as they are busy then.

It was quiet on an early Sunday evening, but the service was extra attentive and I love the semi-upscale Japanese aesthetic - we were seated next to a pretty aquarium and given cloth napkins and real wooden chopsticks. The vegetarian options excited me the most, and I ordered the Vegetarian Duck Teriyaki. It was really interesting because I'd never had any duck-related veg food, so I had to try it. The teriyaki flavor was a bit overwhelming, maybe too much sauce, but I still gobbled it up. My friend would have given her actual duck teppanyaki dish and the whole experience five stars, she loved it so much. I would definitely go back and try another one of their veg dishes! Winchester, it seems like this place isn't super well known yet, but you don't know what you're missing!

The food and cocktails here are delicious! I thoroughly enjoy the porn star martini which comes served on fire - delicious! The sushi was very good too.

At the risk of sounding like I'm stalking the favourite restaurants of my Yelp fine dining partner…read morein crime Gemma G, I got an opportunity to dine at Wabi and grabbed it with both hands after Gemma's hearty recommendation in her review I thought it was odd to site what sounded like a pretty gourmet restaurant in the middle of Surrey but when I arrived in Horsham, I discovered quite a big town supporting a good number of restaurants. Wabi is located on one end of a street hosting 6 other restaurants I was lucky enough to speak to Claire when I made my booking over the telephone. Having worked her way up from her early days as a food runner, she's now the restaurant's main food manager and she was able to answer my myraid of questions about the dishes and the philosophy of the restaurant. I had excellent service from Claire and also Lily - the perfect mix of professionally indulging the foodie geek in me as well as being relaxingly chatty and friendly Walking into the ground floor bar area was amazing - your eye is immediately drawn to their large water feature behind the bar. Then, to the right, you see the sushi bar and robata grill, above which you'll find the specials' board and a TV playing manga movies. Having initially booked to eat in the upstairs restaurant, I immediately asked to sit in the bar area, which had a lovely chilled vibe I sat next to the giant fish tank containing 2 lionfish (not on the menu) and an eel (on the menu but not that particular one!), which Claire pointed out to me. As a teetotaller, it was nice to see that Wabu hadn't forgotten us non-drinkers in its extensive cocktail list. I had a nice and refreshing oriental lemonade - coriander mixed with almond syrup and fresh lime juice topped with ginger beer Having intended to order the tasting menu, I went a la carte in the end. I was a bit cheeky in asking if I could have half portions of 2 of their snacks in order to try more dishes. Well, they topped my cheeky request and gave me small portions of all 3 snacks - edamame with Maldon sea salt, crunchy tempura broad beans and light as a feather home made pork scratching with yuzu pepper aioli. I was amazed that the broad beans were only deep fried as the middles were so soft and moorish I followed with one of my weaknesses - tempura soft shell crab. This was served with a yuzu kosho mayonnaise, which had a nice kick to enliven the crab I followed this with tea smoked lamb chops 'Hoba-Yaki'. The chops were cooked to a perfect medium rare, retaining all their succulent juiciness and served up on a bed of sweet and sour nasu (aubergine). For me, the acid test of a Japanese restaurant has still got to be its sushi and I ordered unagi Kabayaki and salmon, done gravadlax style, cured with beetroot and dill giving the outside of the fish a ring of red. I always order sashimi rather than sushi so that I can taste the flavour of the pure fish. Both were lovely though I'm not sure the gravadlax curing added a huge amount to the salmon. The eel was especially good with the sweet coating cutting through the satisfying oily richness of the flesh. I did feel a little guilty eating my unagi in front of the eel in the tank but Claire helpfully told me that eels are virtually blind Lily recommended the fried (yes, fried!) apple cake, which turned out like a posh McDonalds apple pie, with a crunchy filo pastry shell encasing soft apple. A tall holder dispensed custard and a scoop of apple ice cream finished off the dish. A nice end to the meal, which wasn't too heavy It wasn't a cheap meal but this level of innovative slightly fusiony style of modern Japanese food will cost - think Nobu, Roka and Zuma. Now, for Japanese food fans in London, don't despair - Wabi will be opening a new restaurant in Central London in late summer, so you can indulge to your heart's content soon without having to drive down into the countryside Thanks, Gemma for the tip!

So my initial challenge was to find a place to have a nice dinner as I didn't know the area. So a lot may have changed since my visit, but I believe this was a well deserved rating as the ambiance was quiet, and quaint. The service was good and the food was definitely satisfying, as I was craving some Japanese food. If I'm ever in the area again, and craving Japanese food, I'd go back. So enjoy and I hope the quality is just as good as when I was there.

After searching far and wide in Maidenhead I returned to the only Japanese restaurant in town. It…read morewas nothing remarkable but, of the restaurants in Maidenhead, it was top-notch. This says more about Maidenhead than it does about Miyazaki. Although the restaurant had mostly empty tables I was offered a table that they'd need within about 80 minutes. "No problem" I thought, along with "where is this crowd they're expecting"? Eighty minutes later and it was obvious they were truthful. This is Maidenhead's "hot" restaurant. With a sushi menu stretching all the way from tuna to salmon and back again (!) it's fair to say that the selection of raw fish here doesn't go deep or extensive. Does Hamachi even make its way to the UK? I never saw it on a menu once. Miyazaki does offer salmon nigiri both raw and lightly torched and that's about as exotic as things get. What they do they do well enough and certainly well enough for the area. If you're in Maidenhead you might as well make a reservation to dine at Miyazaki. It's not the only restaurant in town but I think it might be best one.
