Solid option for lunch, but too expensive for what it is. Small place with mostly bar seating, which is nice since you can see the sushi chefs work their artistry, but may not be suitable for parties 4+. It's a serious sushi place with a neon sign above the bar that says "no soy sauce" since they want you to appreciate the flavors of the dish. Best thing I had was the negi toro handroll. I also had a great unagi special, but unfortunately it may not always be available. I also tried some of the omakase (which was good but variable in taste) and the donburi was ok. The wasabi garlic edamame was very heavy on the garlic taste and honestly I think I would've just preferred it with light salt. read more

food was good. Service was a bit strange the waiter multiple times said "oh let me see if I can remember what this is" I enjoyed it though read more

We did take away. My sashimi was a big disappointment. My party enjoyed theres, to be fair.

This is a very nice sushi place in Kensington, serving fresh nigiri and sashimi prepped and served by Japanese people, along with some westerners as well. The creations aren't the norm, but their omakase is perfect, with choices of number of pieces, 10 being the large one and the one I chose. There's a big block of a tree trunk between the two workstations that's used to char the surface of the fish with a blowtorch, which gives a nice Smokey flavor. read more

The last time I came here was two years ago and have to say it has stayed the same in terms of quality and service. Quality is excellent and the Yashin Omakase allows you to sample the range of sushi bites at best cost. £60 for 15 pieces. Chefs know their seafood and creative combinations. Service is slightly worse than last time. This time being seated downstairs meant we didn't get to experience the sushi bar. They have too many staff for various tasks that do not get done efficiently. One person to bring plates down and then it sat for over 5 minutes waiting for the only waiter to serve it. No one checked our table throughout the meal so we sat with empty drink glasses. This is unacceptable for a high end sushi restaurant and so will have to look elsewhere for our next dining experience. read more

I had the omakase as well as few other dishes and the sushi preparation was fantastic and delicious! I also had the miso cappuccino, which was a brilliant, original preparation of a delicious miso soup topped with a tofu based cold foam, so it looked almost like a cappuccino served in a large tea cup. I also greatly appreciated the excellent service! The staff were attentive, courteous, and not overbearing. read more

It's great to see Britain gradually lose its status as the poor food appreciators of the world and one of the proofs is the proliferation of sushi eaters. Even 10 years ago, the thought of eating raw fish would be anathema to most Brits but now, you can buy it in supermarkets However, the quality is still way behind places like California, where simple mom and pop places still turn out amazing and affordable sushi Yashin is a higher end restaurant and I got the chance to try it out for lunch yesterday. The staff are super nice and shout out a Japanese greeting as you enter, Ippudo style. At least, I assume it's a greeting! I had made a booking via their website and the only seating oddity is that they like to cram everyone to one end of the kitchen counter even though there was lots of space available. I didn't mind but a couple who came in after me asked to sit at the empty end As I had turned up for sushi, I opted for the omakase 8 for £30 - 8 pieces of nigiri sushi with the choice of fish dictated by the chefs as well as 6 pieces of maki roll of the day, served with miso soup in a teacup and salad I'm always up for miso soup but I found the salad a little bland, mainly because the dressing was uni-dimensional rather than having a few balanced flavours Now onto the sushi. Firstly an apology for the lack of photos but I have to confess I forgot in my excitement to eat it! The pieces aren't huge and those with a bigger appetite than I may still feel a little peckish on leaving. However, the quality of fish is first rate. They were conventional fish though and I was hoping for something a little more off the grid or the odd bit of luxury like toro (fatty tuna belly) or scallop The restaurant's USP is 'without soya sauce' and they season the sushi and every piece had a matching condiment on top. I presume that's because they want you to really taste the fish and this is where I think some of their condiments were too powerful - there was especially a wasabi based one that made it impossible to taste that piece properly. I ended up nibbling each of the nigiri on is own to get the flavour of the fish before eating it with the condiment I did enjoy the sushi but having eaten at places like Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare, my advice is less is more when it comes to adding flavours sushi. In fact, I loved the crab salad maki roll because I could taste and enjoy the crab flavour At these prices, a visit here is more of a treat than an everyday meal but my favourite nigiri in London still remains otoro at Dozo in Soho and hotate (scallop) at Cocoro read more

If you are looking for a place to eat really fresh sushi without soy sauce, this is it. Really fresh fish and great selection. I came in for lunch and watched the chefs do what they do best. This place is pricey but you can even find great affordable options whether it be a £12.50 sushi lunch special or £20 omakase for dinner. Highly recommend going here and who knows maybe I'll see you there. read more

Yashin Sushi - Sake Martini, Sake Flight and Tuna with truffle oil! Amazing!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - London, XGL

I wanna start by saying that I'm a bit snobby when it comes to sushi. and that I thought sushi in London is hopeless and subpar. cos nobody knows what good quality seafood means or even tastes like... until I found Yashin. I'm addicted to Yashin. It's like a drug. I can't stop thinking about it, and when I have it, I keep wanting more. Seriously, my order increases every time I go. Makes me feel like an insatiable beast. So what's so special about Yashin? First off they've got really good quality fish. Probably the best I've had in London (better than Nobu IMO). It's rare that you find good quality uni and hotate here, but Yashin's got it!! In terms of otoro, chutoro and fatty salmon, they are OK. They're not bad but I wouldn't say they're outstanding. I normally prefer my sashimi cut a bit thicker, but I guess otoro/chutoro/fatty salmon are hard to source so it's more precious for them. Now let's talk about their special sauce and toppings. They're AWESOME. They even make boring sea bass amazing, and change my view on my least favorite mackerel. Their tuna carpaccio with truffle sauce and yuzu sauce is a little taste of heaven. It's a great starter while you're waiting for your nigiris (they could take a while) If you're into sake they have a very well selected list of junmai, jinjo and daijinjo. writing this review makes me want more Yashin! read more

I dined here on Saturday night and had a really enjoyable experience. My husband an I shared the 'sashimi without soy sauce' which came as 12 pieces of 6 fish varieties. Each fish was seasoned differently and the fish was excellent quality- the mackerel in particular was exceptionally fresh. For £25 this was a pretty good deal! We also got an order of the 'summer truffle toro with salted kombu'. The truffle and toro was delicious- there were whole pieces of truffle which was a real treat for the palate! There were 5 pieces of toro which was a very reasonable portion for such a high quality dish. We ordered the Sukiyaki with red ginger roll as it said it came with a raw egg and we were intrigued.. The roll was really crispy and could be dipped into the raw egg served separately. We thoroughly enjoyed it- the egg gave it a creamy flavour and the variety of textures worked really well. The decor of the restaurant has been really well thought out and the servers were very attentive. We will be back for sure! read more

This place was a pleasant surprise as not your usual sushi place. The chefs pay great attention and detail to what they serve. The menu is eclectic and yet still traditional. The only draw back to the place as with most places in London it can attract the pretentious douchey crowd who are loud obnoxious euro-trash. However the food and staff make it a pleasurable experience¡ read more

Recently opened Yashin Sushi near High Street Kensington is easy to miss if you don't know that it's there. Hidden away on a side street without any sign outside all you can go by is the interior and the large neon sign on the wall behind the chefs. The sign incidentally says "Without soy sauce" - the only soy sauce is the one that the chef has added to the sushi by brushing them with it to make sure it's the right amount. Let me say right now, the place is expensive. Since they recently opened when I went they were handing out vouchers for £10 off per person for dinner. Still, the Omakase 8 (8 pieces of sushi with 6 rolls) is £20 with the discount. The quality of the fish however is fantastic... I have to say this is the best sushi that I have had in London so far. Also, as you can expect from a place like this the service is impeccable. The seats are all situated around the counter behind which the chefs prepare the food. It's quite a sight sitting there watching the chef use a blow torch to quickly sear the scallop sushi you are just about to have. As an appetiser a plate with three different things were brought out of which I had to choose one. Why I couldn't have all 3 (especially since the place was deserted) I don't know. For a starter I tried the fresh tofu which comes some jelly that is supposed to be dissolved in the tofu. The tofu was silky smooth and quite nice with some very subtle flavours. On to the sushi. I went for the Omakase 8 and wasn't disappointed. There wasn't a single one that I didn't like and some were absolutely great. Melt-in-your-mouth fish quality and eat-slowly-to-savour-it flavours. After the sushi on to dessert. They had 4 different ice creams: green tea, white sesame, shiso sorbet and yuzu sorbet. I tried both shiso and yuzu sorbets and they were a fantastic ending to a great dinner. Very refreshing and light. I would come here all the time if it weren't for the price which is why I took one star off. read more

Everything served here is fresh and unique, but some pieces are a little over-powering, like one yelper suggested. Service is excellent as well. I loved the sashimi scallop (with caviar). Not a caviar fan, so my friend had my share of it. All tasted great, but that dish was most memorable of the meal. Expensive all around, but worth trying. read more

Yashin Sushi - Sashimi scallop and caviar - Sushi Bars Near Me - London, XGL

Very friendly, confident and luxurious sushi restaurant. I guess all self-confessed sushi lovers in London should visit this restaurant! The dishes are pleasant in the eyes and taste gorgeous. I took "Aburi Salmon Ikura Don" which contains 'Ikura' seasoned with truffle and fatty 'toro" salmon served with miso soup in a lovely tea cup (!) and salad with delicious onion dressing. The dish is beautifully arranged so that I even hesitated to touch it with chop sticks. You can sit at the counter if you like to see the skillful cutting movements of sushi chef or you can choose to sit at the tables in downstairs as well. Now I have to save my money to have dinner here...!!! read more

Pricy, and can be resistant if you haven't reserved a space even if there is a vacancy in your view. However amazing sushi, with jellies, sauces and fresh fish that blow you away. Recommend anything that lists the truffle jelly. Preference is to sit at the sushi bar and watch the masters create your dishes. If you're a party of 4 or more must call in advance and ask for downstairs seating. read more

Let me preface my review by saying the food was fantastic. BUT and this is a huge but, it was insanely overpriced. We sat down after a long day of travel and zero planning. We looked at the menu and all almost had a heart attack. We legit only got one meal and split it between the three of us. With 2 glasses of champagne we still ended up spending £150. WAY OVER PRICED and really not much food. Also, for the money you would expect the service to be better. The host was so snooty and our server was not helpful at all. We were his only table and you would think he didn't want our money. I spilled my glass of almost full champagne and they didn't help clean or replace it. Yes it was my fault but I am at a supposedly fine dining restaurant you would think they would be more attentive. Definitely wouldn't go back. read more

When you mentally commit to spend over £100 on an Omasake sushi menu your expectations are naturally raised. Whilst parts of the 15 piece "Yashin" selection were excellent I was disappointed in the fact that all pieces were prepared in advance and then served as a group. As many pieces are lightly cooked with a butane torch, once they have been left sitting for 10 minutes, what was originally soft and succulent fish becomes rubbery and much less tasty! The raw fish was obviously very high quality however at times the garnish accompaniments were overwhelming to the flavour of the fish. The service was acceptable but at this price point one reserves the right to be picky and to be honest nothing makes up for a server with a clear understandable accent. Altogether not poor but at this level leaves much to be desired. read more

This place really surprised me. Never heard of it - it's only 1 month old. It's tucked away on a side street off Kensington High St but its not a place you should miss. Its small but trendy / upscale sushi bar where the fish takes the center stage. I came here from lunch and had a salmon nigiri/maki lunch special. It's basically 5 pieces of nigiri and 6 pieces of maki. What's makes this place interesting is that they don't serve you soy sauce (huge sign at the back of the sushi bar stating just that). Each piece of nigiri was topped with a flavor (jalapeno, vinegar jelly, onion, etc) . Its was subtle enough not to overpower the salmon and was a nice change to your typical sushi. The best part of all was the price - 12.50 for the set. I'm not sure the rest of the menu is priced as attractively. Definitely worth trying. read more

A perfect dinner, we will be back! It is rare to find a place like this in London where people really seem to care and where the attention to details is so great, without overdoing it. Yashin is about delicious, meticulously-prepared, beautifully-presented Japanese food, in a very nice and warm decor. We had dinner at the counter and would really recommend it, especially for a party of 2 or 3. We liked everything (apart from the Tofu but that's more personal). You get to see the chefs work and prepare the food, an entertaining and interesting show. It is not cheap but if you stick to beer or green tea it helps, especially as the food is the main attraction. We did have some wine and had some great advice from the Japanese sommelier who knew his French wines extremely well. Overall a great venue in an unlikely location. We will be back! read more

I could say that Yashin is a must for sushi lovers who does want to try creative sushi pieces with special sauces and toppings, absolutely fresh fish but "without soy sauce" like their welcome sign says on the main wall behind the sushibar... This place is properly expensive, the centerpiece sushi counter gives the game away as soon as you step inside. The menu also displays precision and innovation, kind of kaiseki style. The wine and sake lists are long and well chosen, eat upstairs if you can, you will get a better service there. They have good options for lunch time. read more

Mother of all fish, this place was the bomb. I heard drum rolls when my food came, and Im not exaggerating. Note of advice before you put your shoes on: this place is pricey. Two hungry diners (a mate and myself, not just me and my imaginary friend ) ended up at a little over £200 with sake, but it was worth every penny. The sushi is super inventive, and you wont want to share. They have this cappuccino foam starter thingy that is amazeballs, and the sushi selection is one of the weirdest food pairings Ive ever had in my adult, conscious life. Save up and try this, totes worth the hype. read more

This is one of my favourite restaurants in London. It's always busy and has unique ideas for eating the traditional sushi, some even with strawberry on top. I went for lunch this time and ordered the maguro zuke don which is tuna marinated in soya sauce. It was perfect portion for lunch and it's not bad at £20 including drink. They have adorable miso soup that comes in a royal Albert tea cup. read more

Fish quality was ACE...except since they likely also source from Atari-ya so that same fish can be eaten at numerous places. There was waaayyy too much garnish on the fish. I couldn't stop tasting onion for the entire day. Another minus was the green chili garnish on the uni. Why alter the taste of uni esp with something so strong as the green chilli? Miso soup was also bland. And despite respecting their "no soy sauce rule", I'd actually much prefer a bit of nice soysauce on my sashmi vs. the mountain of garnish. Great place if you're up for really fresh fish with a fusion-y twist and fancy presentation. Not for sushi purists. read more

It was a girl's night out, to be filled with good food, alcohol and laughter. As most of us are foodies at heart, it didn't take long to decide on Yashin. I was really looking forward to it after a tough week and it was a great way to start the weekend. Funnily enough my friend and I were late and it didn't help that we both went to the wrong Kensington station. So the poor girls who were already waiting had to wait a little longer for us to arrive. Sorry ladies! We finally arrived and placed our orders. Some of us went for The Yashin at £60 and the rest went for Omakase 11 at £45. We were served some amuse bouche next. There was bite sized octopus and pork skin jelly with the third being omelette topped with shrimp. We also ordered some oysters to start. Fresh oysters and the vinegar dressing was definitely refreshing and added a zing! Yose Tofu £6.20 This was quite fun. The soy milk came in an earthen bowl and we were required to scoop the fish stock jelly which is dashi stock into the soy milk. This made me remembered a scene in Heston's 70s feast which I watched on telly last night where he did a similar version. The heat emanating from the soy milk melted the dashi jelly which trickled into the milk. Taste wise, it was a tad bland and nothing exciting. I was expecting an umami hit! Next to arrive were the main stars. Omakase Eleven £45 for 11 piece ensemble plus a roll of the day 'The Yashin' £60 for 15 pieces of exquisite sushi It was a mix of some amazing ones and forgettable ones. The outstanding ones were the salmon with dashi stock, prawn sushi and yellow fin tuna. Sadly while the wagyu beef was good, there are better ones out there. There is no doubt on the quality and taste. Yashin makes fantastic sushi and easily one of the best to be had in London. Unfortunately, you pay for it with the price. The girls who had the Yashin felt that they could have stuck to the Omakase 11 as it included the fantastic ones as well. To have to pay an additional £15 for an extra four pieces of while good but forgettable sushi was perhaps not of good value. When you've had sushi as good as or even better than this at a fraction of the price in Japan, I am happy to save and head on a Japan trip again. read more

Without soy sauce! They're big into this "no additional soy sauce thing" but whatever, I asked for some anyway. Not at all to insult the sushi chefs, but because I like the option. It wasn't needed. I've been here twice now, and was sad to see it make TimeOut's best restaurant list because I like that it's a bit of a secret, but it is truly a great sushi joint, and in an affluent area that lacks quality Japanese cuisine. One star off for not having much of an atmosphere (though the decor is cool, but no music) and for having somewhat of a limited menu, but everything on it is truly incredible. The first time around we had the omakase which was superb, but don't think this is traditional sushi, it isn't. It isn't as experimental as Zuma, but the nigiri definitely has non-Japanese influence. For example for 'dessert' we had squid and scallop nigiri (that was not on the menu) and it came slightly seared with chunky salt bits and heavy wasabi on the rice. It was OKAY, but I wish they had asked us if we wanted experimental kind as all we asked for was the basics. Anyway, we were a big fan of the grouper sashimi with yuzu sauce (9.50 pounds), the yellowtail sashimi with garlic sauce (7 pounds, and YUM), miso soup (2.50), spicy tuna roll (6 pieces, 4.25 -- WHAT, cheaper than Feng!), the softshell crab roll (5.50 - amazing!), and the uni nigiri (straight from Canada, nest uni out there, and a reasonable 5.50 per piece). The seasonal veggie salad with sesame paste was too heavy on the paste, and again, the scallop and squid was a disappointment given that they were taking a liberty we didn't sign off on, but all in all, the place has sushi on lock down. They are open on Mondays, but remember that the fish markets aren't open then (best to avoid any sushi in London on Mondays). Quite important to make a booking in advance, which can be difficult as their phone never seems to work, but the sushi bar is the best place to sit and it is a truly great value for what you get. The rolls are unbeatable. Highly recommended. read more

A very welcoming surprise! We've had sushi in different parts of the world including Japan. And we had a great experience here. The standout was toro with a thinly sliced truffle on top. The real deal. Another amazing dish was the the beef and something cut roll (forgot the name). In the center of this was a raw quail egg that you break and dip your pieces in. Loved it! The next time we're in the neighborhood, we'll stop by again! read more

A place where sushi is a creative art, beautifully created presented with sauces I have never seen used for sushi before. This place is properly expensive for the kind of up scale crowd from those upper echelons of wealth. The fish is incredibly seasoned from amazing cuts of meat that put other sushi to the lower levels. However the fact they only do you just sushi and sashimi means unless you order an expensive amount of food you will leave hungry. A great place for a special treat with someone of discernment, who enjoys such things makes it a great place. Especially as they bring dishes out one after the other which makes it last and a memorable occasion. read more

I didn't wake up that day thinking I was going to eat some of the best sushi I'd ever had that day. If you've got some cash and are looking for an extremely memorable and fancy plate of fish, this is a great spot. This is a new spot opened by two chefs who decided to splash out on their own. The name of the restaurant comes from a combination of their names. The best way to go here is one of their 3 omakase (tasting) menus, which range from about 30-60 pounds. You'll get to sample 10-20 different types of fish, depending on how big of a menu you've selected. Each piece of nigiri is expertly and individually crafted and comes with its own garnish. The fish is very good quality and delicious. You're meant to enjoy the fish, not drown it in soy sauce and wasabi, hence their motto of "without soy sauce." And their fish can definitely stand up to this closer examination. You're likely to exclaim, "Wow, this is the best halibut/salmon/i-don't-know-what I've ever had!" And after you've stuffed yourself with fish, they offer some interesting ice creams and sorbets, which come with fruit and gelee. What's almost as fun as eating the fish is watching it being prepared by some clearly expert chefs. Be sure to call ahead for reservations during the weekend, and get a seat at the sushi bar. I will be back. Gluten-free notes: Their motto is "without soy sauce" so you won't feel out of place skipping the soy sauce (which often contains wheat). Some of the pieces of nigiri seem to have some sort of sauce applied to them, so you'll want to ask. read more

For me, this is some of the best sushi I've had in London. Much less fussy than Zuma and Nobu. Much more akin in style to some of the NYC greats like Jewel Bako, Sushi Yasuda, Sasabune, and Sato. I'm not saying its in that league but it's London's best effort so far. read more

I'd like this restaurant a lot more if I could order items separately rather than having to get set menus/bundled dishes and if they had a better selection of fish. Their sushi is on the better end of London offerings, but I find the menu extremely limited, especially at lunch (which I don't understand -- am I less choosy during the daytime than at supper?). I really found the service to be excellent on my last visit, but sat downstairs which I don't very much like at all (though it is on the airy side of basements -- try sitting downstairs at Koba Korean on Rathbone; its a veritable jail cell). I am still inclined to give 4 stars because my frustration with Yashin are not their fault -- just because most sushi restaurants serve a la carte and have 15 types of fish doesn't mean all must. read more

The food was exceptional, 5 stars. The service was terrible. 20 mins from ordering to get drinks. An hour to get some of the appetizers, mains about an hour after that. I don't mind a slow dinner but this left us tired and miserable and with a hefty bill. They need to fix their problems otherwise it won't be no soy sauce, it will be no Yashin. read more

Yashin Sushi - Truffles! - Sushi Bars Near Me - London, XGL

Great Japanese restaurant in London. At first, I thought the restaurant was dead and too expensive. We came in around 7pm-ish, and there were hardly any patrons inside. The tables are downstairs (which is slightly misleading when you first look inside because it seems as if you can only sit on a stool.) Downstairs it's comfortable, and the menu is fantastic. It's pricey [for someone coming from the states!], but not over the top. Practically all the dishes of sashimi or nigiri or rolls don't have or need soy sauce. DO NOT give in to the temptation to ask for soy sauce. Each item was seasoned just right. You do not need the soy sauce, trust me. If you want to drown your food in soy sauce, you should leave the restaurant and go somewhere else so that you can spend less money on unpalatable sashimi. Truly the best Japanese food that I've had since Nobu. I'll post photos soon, but... don't go to their website. It will constantly crash your browser! read more

This placed was over priced and tasted terrible. I'm surprised people give this restaurant such favorable ratings. At this price point, I expected better. I am from New York and eat at Soto all the time ( 2 mich star restaurant). This would be no where near Soto quality. I was very disappointed in the food here. The service was good but the food was bland. In a city with lots of options, definitely pass on Yashin Sushi. read more
