I love their honey fries! they're so crispy and slightly sweet and come with the perfect dipping sauce. I think it's a unique dish which is definitely worth trying out! We got carbonara and curry sauces to go with our Katsu. The curry sauce has a really robust flavour profile and is full of all these incredible warm spices, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend getting this sauce. The carbonara sauce was nice as well and really creamy, I just wish it was a TAD bit spicier. I'm not sure how but Katsuya always has the flakiest crispiest Katsu and it is so appreciated. Portion sizes are very generous so you can easily split with friends, or indulge yourself depending on hunger levels. Overall a really positive experience, I look forward to coming back many more times!

One thing I didn't realize before coming here was that Katsuya sells Japanese FUSION tonkatsu. I…read moreassumed it was a just a Japanese Tonkatsu place until we ate here and saw the sign on the outside. My expectations may have been thrown off a little since I didn't realize what Katsuya trying to do. That said, the food was good, but nothing I'd shout on top of the hills for. The food was still decent, so had to still give it four stars. As much as I am not a fan of fusion restaurants, my favorite was the carbonara katsu. It was like dipping your katsu into an Italian seafood alfredo sauce, with a decent amount of seafood and bacon in it. The pair of this fusion was delightful and I enjoyed eating this one the most. The katsu itself had a nice light, crispy, airy batter, and the pork (you can choose your type of meat) was tender. It was light, yet deep fried, so super oily and felt like a heavy meal. My second favorite was the curry katsu. A good curry sauce with your katsu, typical to what I've gotten at other Japanese restaurants, and exactly what I would expect. It had a slight spice to it. The original katsu I wasn't too much of a fan of. The sauce was a little too buttery for me. Buttery and sweet. I'd come back for the carbonara katsu again for a dip into this italian/japanese fusion.

A lot more ambience than the Oxford location, in my opinion! Came here with 2 co-workers for a work lunch. They have a menu for lunch specials, however, one of the items is not on the menu. They should at least put a label over that item if re-printing menus is not in the plan... Food was delivered quickly, and was delicious! I had the Korean combo with spicy chicken and it came with lots of saucy spicy chicken with onions and zucchini, about a cup of rice, miso soup, small salad, 3 sweet-potato sushis, and 2 gyozas. Lots of food for $15 (once you factor in the tax and tip). My coworker ordered vegetable tempura and they didn't trim the asparagus so one of the pieces was actually the bottom half - inedible. Otherwise, everything was yummy. The place got pretty full right at 12pm when they open. Service was also great, we had people checking on us frequently. I look forward to coming back here, maybe to try one of their house specialty rolls! One star off because of the asparagus and lack of chicken bibimbap!

We had an amazing dinner at Shiki. The restaurant is tucked away and slightly hard to find (Google…read moreMaps sent us into a nearby neighborhood) but so worth it. The small, intimate space was the perfect getaway from the cold, rainy London night. We started with some hot green tea and miso soups. Both were yummy and warmed me from within. Then we each had an unagi (eel) nigiri and their fire-roasted scallops nigiri. The scallop nigiri was definitely the highlight for me. We also split the A Platter Deluxe. It came with salmon, albacore, shrimp and tuna nigiri and several rolls. It was SUPER filling and delicious. The fish all tasted so fresh and buttery (especially the nigiri). It was a ton of food but we managed to finish everything. This spot is a must if you are a true sushi fan and want a ball out sushi night.

In the picture I took, the excellent, homemade-tasting, oniony curry sauce is off to the side so you can add it to the katsu (and rice) just before you dig in. This means your cutlet stays crispy the whole time. Wonderful presentation in a lovely to-go bento box. Meal included a cup of miso soup as well. The other picture was my partner's pick. Unagi poke bowl with added salmon (for an extra $4). Great portions and really well flavoured. She commented especially favourably on the tempura crispy bits throughout the bowl, which provided great texture. Go here. Order. You won't be sorry.
