    Sushi Joy
    Josy A.

    Oishiiiii!! I used to live near West Acton...the best thing about living that far West was access to the amazing chain Atariya for sashimi/sushi/Japanese grocery goodness. This is the same chain...but for sushi rather than groceries. I approooove! I have to admit, I didn't really look at the menu...I just listed my seven favorite nigiri sushi and sat down with a nice warming cup of miso soup. However my friend ordered some of the maki sushi...and they were goooorgeous. Seriously, the unagi roll is the nicest maki-zushi I have had in London. You should all definitely try: - Hottate (amazing, melt in the mouth scollops) - Amaebi (the small, slimy sweet shrimps - delish!) Not bad: - Hamachi (I can't remember what this is in English - maybe yellow tail?) - Unagi (I am a bit of an unagi snob. I like it served warm with a dribble of the sweet soy sauce. But this wasn't really up to scratch here.) @JB...you would love this place! It will fill up your sushi baby happily.

    Baked cod uramaki. V tasty with a hoisin (sweet) like sauce. 6 pieces

    Sushi very fresh and very quick service. No frills if you want to sit in. You have the choice of three or four single tables alongside the sushi bar close to he door or two tables at the back next to the fridge and the loo. Loved the rolls. Will def be back. It's always busy with takeaway orders.

    Super XL Chirachi
    Ophelia A.

    I was originall going to a nearby sushi place that was closed and by chance lucked out by stumbling across Atari-ya. I got the Super xl chirachi, which at first seemed a bit pricey for a place like this -- it's a hole in the wall with sparce seating consisting of beat up picknick style tables and faint smell of harsh chemical cleaning detergent -- but as I dug into the enormous serving I realised that it was a bargain at (£16) , only I should probably have settled for the smaller one. The place isn't really much to look at and I would recommend it for takeout unless you're a fan of previously mentioned barebone interior and the ambience of a storage container. The food however is an entirely different matter. It might be lacking in presentation -- even if I did enjoy the sight of a wasabi smiley face the size of a ping pong ball -- but in terms of straight up quality of fish and preparation of it, Atari-ya makes up for all its little flaws with seemingly little effort. The melting fatty tuna alone is among the best I ever had and together with the generously distributed pieces of ebi, sea urchin, variations of roe, amazing salmon (which I'm normally not a super fan of) and more it really comes together as a great deal. This is no fuzz sushi at it's best and I'm pretty sure I'll be back a lot in the future, even if it's a little out of my way. Edit note: After recently discovering many better sushi places around town, not actually have been back to Atari-ya more than once, and still mostly remembering it for that harsh smell of cleaning detergent the first time around, I have lowered my score from a 4 to a 3. The fish is of good quality and priced reasonably, but not worth travelling across town for. If you're in the area and want a good quick bite it's definitely a good option but otherwise you could do better.

    Food prep.

    The sushi here is undoubtedly very good. It is a no-frills restaurant reminiscent of a fishmongers, and can get very crowded at lunchtimes with little room to move past people waiting to order without hitting the people inside eating. I would recommend ordering in advance as they always say it will be 30 minutes to wait usually they are a lot quicker than the stated time, however they do have a lot of new staff currently and they have recently messed up our orders meaning that we had to wait an extra 15 minutes whilst they made the platter for us. I like that on quiet days you can watch the chefs prepare your food and that every time I go into Atari-Ya I can never work out if I feel that I am more in a fresh-smelling chippy or a fishmongers that serves food.

    I struggled to share this little gem of a place because it's so tiny, and don't want hordes of people running in and taking up the precious table space, but what the heck, it's almost Christmas and I'm such a nice person. My friend introduced me to Atari-ya a week ago, and since then, I've been back 3 times. In one week. That's how much I love this palce. You don't come here for the ambience, you come here for lovely and fresh Nobu-quality sashimi and sushi (apparently Atari-ya supplies sushi to Nobu). I recommend the spicy tuna roll, eel and avocado roll, spicy yellowtail rollpractically everything on their menu really. I'd steer clear of the yakitori though, it's really nothing to shout about. The best part? Their prices are extremely reasonable. We ate like little piggies (witness: edamame, miso soup, salmon, tuna and yellowtail sashimi, salmon & avocado roll, eel & avocado roll) and paid about £13 each. Bliss.

    Qype User (gloomy…)

    First time here, wanted to eat in. The waiters rushed me to order my sushi, I only skimmed through 2 mins to order tuna and salmon maki £1.80 each. sashimi is £1.80 for three slices. Great value for high quality food but can improve with customer service.

    However, who cares about all that extraneous superficial stuff when Atari-Ya offers such wonderful high-quality sushi?

We enjoyed walking around and seeing a wide variety of food options! The whole market area was clean and organized when we got there at 9am. No lines yet.

We tried: * The Ginger Pig - Traditional Sausage Roll * Wild Mushroom Risotto - Spelt Risotto with Truffle Shavings * Turnips Greengrocer - Chocolate Covered Strawberries * The Black Pig - The Best One With Crackling * Turkish Deli - Turkish Delight & Turkish Coffee * Bread Ahead - Crème Brûlée Donut

It is a farmer's type market with some prepared foods, which were top notch. We walked the entire thing and grabbed as much as we could to eat. There are plenty of food places just outside the space that are open later as well. I got some meat sticks from a vendor, sort of farmers market style. There was also another stand that had fruit in a cup with chocolate.Our best deal were some arepas that were half off because it was closing time and they wanted to get rid of them. This isn't the place to take pictures, but rather to immerse yourself in all the goodness that is here.

    My wife and I chose this place for our last dinner in London before heading back home to DFW. I had…read moreread about this restaurant in some top 10 lists for foodies visiting London and was dying to check it out. First, it's not in the busy part of London where you would expect a restaurant of this caliber to be but rather it is in a very blue-collar neighborhood on the south side of London. It is a VERY cozy place with only seven tables but that is how they keep the quality and experience so great. The decor is as if you are on an old fishing ship. Reservations are highly recommended but we got there right when they opened (7pm) and thankfully they let us have a table. After being seated the hostess showed us the days specials and they ranged from fantastic scallops to lobster with every choice as good as the last. My wife and I chose the Chef's Choice 8 course dinner. The dinner comprised of a delicious sardine sandwich followed by a fillet of night perch which was then followed by lobster that melted in your mouth. Then we had a pallet cleanser of a light peach sorbet with a shot of vodka poured over it. The meal resumed with a grilled piece of pork belly (I got the "meat" choice) while my wife had a grilled hallibut (she got the "fish" choice). The next course was a warmed cheese (I believe it was gruyere) in pastry accompanied by a small mixed green salad with aged balsamic. The dessert courses were a delicious crepe with creme bruille filling and the end course was a pear puree along with a chocolate pudding with a hint of mint. We loved this place even though the name sort of threw us off at first. When you hear "The Lobster Pot" I imagine a bunch of seniors getting off a day-tour bus to a casino at a truck stop or something but this experience was far from what I first imagined. I would highly recommend spending some of your tourist dollars here at this restaurant.

    Don't arrive early or you'll be sorrier than a cracked crustacean's claw. Kitsch sticky menus…read moreneeded a bit of explanation and if the menus change regularly (no oysters , but I'd rather they'd be off the menu than off in my stomach) then perhaps daily printed menus would work. A delightfully decorative place complete with seagulls singing sea shanty classics on loop. Terrified but glorious goldfish adorning the cabin window walls, really every maritime detail had been thought of, even staff in cabin costumes, it was as cheesy as the lobster Thermidor. So fun. I loved being bibbed up too, I like knowing things are gonna get messy. The Meli, a melee of seafood; half lobster, sea bass, spicy grilled perch, razor clam (touch over done), squid kebab (could've been flavoured more) but all in a sea of buttery champagne and avruga sauce. No tide could hold me back from wanting to lick my plate or use this as a moisturiser, oh my golly so delicious. It came served with enough perfectly cooked veg that my mother would approve of too. Soft butter, less surprise from the proprietor at our arrival and this place would have had a perfect score. Overall our waitress was lovely and the food was really darn good.
