We ordered a lot of different stuffs and sake and everything was good. The sashimi and the sushi were perfect, fine and savorous; the karaage was as good as the one I ate in Japan; the tempura soba were pretty good but not my favorite dish of this dinner. We ordered sake as well which was nice ! It's an expensive place but it worth it. I totally recommend it !

Quick glance: + great quality ingredient…read more+ authentic taste and flavour + personable and happy staff - very pricey - venue needs a new lick of paint The unassuming entrance to Miyama is tucked away in a narrow street. If you do manage to find it, don't be put off by the lack of decor, particularly in the downstairs dining area in the windowless basement, where the off-white paint is starting to chip and crack in places. Miyama offers set lunch menus which look much better value than their a la carte and sushi selection, which includes miso soup to start and a dessert to finish, although still costing £20-30 a person, depending on which ones you choose. Bento boxes are also available, which looked amazing as I stole glances at our neighbouring table... The quality of food is unquestionably superb - very tasty, fresh, and with authentic flavours. Service was great too, with very personable staff, although food took a bit longer to deliver than the usual pace of life in the City. The high price tag means the restaurant should easily attract city banker clientele, but I think the lack of decor in the dining area makes it a bit incongruous for long city lunches.

He was serious. Looked online as I was leaving. I could have booked a table for two 10 minutes after I was leaving. They just didn't want us to actually be there.

We ended dropping a lot of money here but the sashimi was as fresh as it gets and the sake was flowing, so there you go.

However, if you're in northwest London my bet is you could do a lot worse.

A nice little restaurant tucked away from the hustle and bustle…read more I found this gem out of laziness; not wanting to travel far for food. Situated in Willesden Green I didn't know what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. Sushi Say is worth a visit if traditional-quality-no-frills Japanese food is what you're after! With the trend of fusion food, there are very few quality traditional Japanese restaurants in London. That being said, Sushi Say is by far one of the most authentic Japanese places I've been too. Everything is fresh and the emphasis is on simplicity and quality. You can really appreciate the quality of the produce and ingredients. The delicately prepared Toro and Yellowtail just melts in your mouth. The sashimi and rolls are generously portioned and beautifully cut; everything is balanced and tastes as it should. Service is friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back!

please take know that the address should read as:…read more 8 Station Parade Uxbridge Road Ealing Common London W5 3LD also the map shown is indicating a wrong location! and the nearest tube station is ealing common and not kew gardens! our original plan was to try out sushi hiro nearby. unfortunately hiro was fully booked for the evening and we settled for kiraku. basically, kiraku builds itself as an izakaya restaurant. lot's of japanese patrons which is always a good sign. comprehensive menu with a bit of everything. the sashimi moriwase special was surprisingly very good. very fresh and nicely cut. the shoku carpaccio was a nice sashimi salad with garlic and olive oil. their kaki fry was well fried. the salmon porridge was simple and comforting. the grilled eggplant with cheese and miso was a little over salty. kushiyaki was ok but not outstanding. i like their crispy chicken skin. their beef tongue was nicely crunchy and chewy. the pork rolled with shiso leaf was slightly too porky in taste. the chicken ball was ordinary and so was the chicken. as for the chicken wing, one was burnt and the other was under cooked. maki wise, the ones we ordered were the kiraku special and soft shell crab. kiraku special had a generous serving of ikura but i couldnt taste any crispy salmon skin. the soft shell crab one was ordinary. in both, the rice grains seem too starchy and big. the biggest led down, food wise, has to be the special of the day which was a deep fried iberico pork. too oily outside and too dry inside. definitely not worth the money and long wait! for dessert we struggled to make the staff know what we wanted. bascially, 2 macha ice cream with azuki beans and 1 kuri ice cream with azuki beans. after going back and forth for 10 minutes, she finally understood what we wanted! sigh. my biggest complain for kiraku has to be their wait staff! very slow service and no promptness in refilling our tea despite many reminders to do so! also the food took ages to come. so much so that we even forgot we had ordered them. having said that, they must be doing well as they were packed by 8pm. i'll be back but i'll be more careful what i order in the future. Opening Hours: Tuesday - Sunday (Monday Closed) Lunch: 12 - 3pm (Last orders 2:30pm) Dinner: 6 - 11pm (Last orders 10pm)

Camembert and fried pork sushi roll?…read more Stop and imagine that for yourself. Gooey smelly French cheese, fried pork cutlet and a little bit of chutney all wrapped up in seaweed and rice and then served with the usual dish of soy sauce and wasabi. How do you think that combination will go? Hint, don't dip it in the soy/wasabi stuff. So I think from the start of this review you'll realise that Kiraku are not the traditional sushi sellers that nearby five-star Atari-Ya are. They do sell some good cuts of raw fish as sashimi, nigiri and donburi but they also do a whole lot more - salads, roasted tofu, crispy crab and the aforementioned cheese and pork maki. I'm pretty sure I still prefer the conservative sushi three doors down, especially as the mackerel at Kiraku is annoyingly the pickled kind. But Kiraku must be doing something good as it's very packed every night and usually with young Ealing Japanese having fun with the many sakes.

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.

After moving to the area it was time to find a decent Japanese restaurant without having to…read morecompromise too much compared to the choices available in Central London and Maki does not disappoint! Maki is decorated in a typically traditional way for a Japanese restaurant, along with a choice of regular tables and chairs or the more traditional floor table and cushions for a more authentic Japanese experience. It's also a lot more reassuring when all of the staff are Japanese as you can usually expect the food to be a little more authentic. The selection available doesn't disappoint with a wide variety of the usual dishes of sashimi, donburi, tempura, teppen yaki, noodles and other main dishes. However, they don't offer bento boxes for those of you who are fond of them. Their drinks menu is also very extensive so as well as the usual teas and spirits they also stock a lot of Japanese whiskies, beers and sake. The prices are also extremely reasonable for imported Japanese drinks of this quality. I've eaten here several times and sampled the majority of the menu as it fast became my favourite Japanese restaurant in London. The food is extremely delicious so certainly doesn't disappoint and I've always found the service fast and the staff friendly and helpful. With a location not far from Kew and just at the start of Richmond it's also very accessible so if you're ever in the area and fancy a great, authentic Japanese meal then give it a try!

You get even more sides to pair with all the goodies mentioned. I guess you can say bento boxes are like comfort foods to me. When I first moved here, I tried Tokyo Diner in Chinatown and was not impressed (aside from their feature of upgrading to a bigger size at no charge, that's awesome). However, Maki's chicken teriyaki bento is fantastic. Instead of traditional charboiled or grilled chicken breast (or thighs), they dip the chicken pieces in batter, fry it lightly and then put the crack sauce (teriyaki sauce...I do love my sauces) on top of the chicken. Delicious. Pair it with the bento rice and it turns into a dangerous combo -- meaning I can't stop eating it even when I get full. Can one die from eating too much teriyaki chicken and rice?? I also ordered their assorted veggie tempura, and it was just as good. Lightly battered veggies with great dipping sauce. Goes great with rice. For 1.50 quid you get a HUGE steaming cup of green tea to wash everything down. I will be back. However, please be aware of the "optional" 12.5% service charge that they automatically add to your total. If you do takeaway, it's 10% off your order.
