Top Best Japanese Restaurants in The Oakmere

"Situated in one of the city's tallest buildings you find this amazing London rooftop bar and restaurant. Magical views over virtually all of the city, delicious Asian / Peruvian / Brazilian food and a wide selection of creative cocktails and sake are some of the highlights at Sushisamba. Trendy venue where people are well-dressed and the prices quite high, but also offering an experience really out of the ordinary."

"Who’d have thought bringing Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine could work so well?. Well, thanks to SUSHISAMBA you can enjoy the energy and spirit of these three distinct cultures in one sitting. So whether you’re after a Japanese hit, a taste of Peruvian cooking or, a touch of Brazilian fire, there’s certainly options for all!"

"It’s located on the 38th and 39thfloors of the Heron Tower, and has epic 360 views over the City. Needless to say both the interior design and views are very photogenic. SushiSamba is also one of the most Instagrammable restaurants in London."

"ROKA is a great Japanese restaurant close by the British Museum where kids and parents will find an easy-going atmosphere. You can even seat nearby the kitchen and observe all the action happening from the chefs. While there are no kids menus, you can pick and choose smaller portions of different dishes and allow your kids to discover different tastes and textures."

"If you and your kids have a taste for some good Japanese cuisine, then you can’t miss Roka. The staff is friendly and accommodating and the food is fresh and tasty. The interior is gorgeous but casual."

"Sushi Tetsu is a traditional Japanese Sushi Bar located on a side street in Clerkenwell. Specialising in sushi and sashimi that is considered to have some of the best sushi in London, there are only a handful of seats so booking well in advance is highly recommended. Tip: Sushi Tetsu uses Twitter to announce free seats and cancellations, but they get snapped up quickly."

"This seven-seater on a Clerkenwell side street arguably serves the best sushi in town. Run by husband-and-wife team Harumi and Toru Takahashi, it is almost impossible to book. But when guests arrive at this shrine to sushi, they will find Toru expertly slivering and slicing smackingly fresh fish, visible from a counter-style bar."

"Clerkenwell’s Sushi Tetsu might be the hardest reservation to secure in London. That’s in part because there are only seven seats. It’s also because pound-for-pound, it serves the best (value) sushi in the city."

"With a waterfall behind the bar and a giant gold-plated crocodile hanging on the wall, it’s hard not to get caught up in the glamour of Sexy Fish – a lavish pan-Asian brasserie with real “wow factor”. Eager staff in multi-coloured waistcoats attend to diners’ every need, delivering thrillingly fashionable food at heavyweight prices to an equally fashionable crowd peppered with celeb faces. Wagyu ganku rolls come topped with white miso and black truffle, while scallops are pepped up with jalapeño sauce and pickled green apple, although the biggest hits are elsewhere – witness tender, honey-glazed duck breast sharpened with kimchi and pickled daikon or sticky pull-apart pork ribs from the robata grill dressed with green onions and chilli."

"Ever the sexy spot, this restaurant and bar centres on East Asian food, late night bites and cracking cocktails. It's a numbers game here; not only are there over 400 bottles of Japanese of whisky, but there's even £1 million-worth of artwork by Frank Gehry and Damien Hirst."

"‘Interactive oriental fusion’ is the deal at this futuristic, neon-lit restaurant, which has silenced those naysayers who claimed the “gimmicky” idea of ordering your meal through a table touchpad would soon wear thin. Instead, diners love this “great concept” with its entertaining novelty – you can even order a taxi home from your table. The food is an accessible pan-Asian mixed bag with new dishes such as scallop tartare, Malaysian beef rendang and Japanese tofu salad ‘hiyayakko’ alongside soft-shell crab maki rolls, delicate squid and spring onion dumplings, Peking duck and a “winning version” of the ubiquitous black cod."

"This Asian fusion restaurant in Covent Garden boasts a pioneering interactive ordering system projected onto the table, making it one of the coolest restaurants in London. At Inamo, you can place orders via a 3D menu, choose from a selection of virtual tablecloths, find out about the local neighbourhood and even order a taxi home, all from the comfort of your seat."

"Address: 11 - 14 Hanover Place, Covent Garden, London, WC2E 9JP / 134 - 136 Wardour Street, London, W1F 8ZP / 265 Hampstead Road, London, NW1 7QX. Nearest train station: Covent Garden, Tottenham Court Road, Mornington Crescent. [embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Z0e1rADXQ/?"

"An unassuming unit steps away from a Pizza Express on a Marylebone side street houses some of the area’s best quality sushi. An extensive a la carte menu of sashimi and nigiri is where to head, with a nod to the seasonal razor clam and abalone if the time is right. The knowing wit of placing “bowl of boiled rice” on “hot, eat-in menu” says everything about Ohisama’s priorities; that said, the selection of vegetarian rolls, including a fine rendition of ume shiso, is a gesture of hospitality in a space so focussed on the quality and preparation of raw fish."

"If low-key, quick-in-quick-out sushi is what you’re after, you’ll be hard pressed to find better quality sushi in this part of central than Ohisama’s. This utilitarian spot has tables downstairs, but upstairs is almost entirely counter seating, and that’s where you want to be. If you go for one of the excellent omakase options, dinner will easily end up costing you £70 or more, but we tend to go for one of the lower priced sushi or sashimi sets which should be more than enough if you’re not quite up for making a night of it."

"Soho’s charming and outstanding udon noodle specialist is back — with newly arranged outdoor seating and heating in the Bloomberg Arcade. Chef Shuko Oda’s reoepening menu features a reduced menu of udon dishes, plus pork tonkatsu, chicken kara-age and pickles, as well as salads and tempura dishes with ingredients from Namayasai farm, and an expanded donburi selection."

"Located on the sixth floor of the newly refurbished Page8 Hotel, this spacious (six thousand square foot to be precise) Japanese restaurant is set to be London’s hottest rooftop hangout. Designed with nature and wellness in mind, two external roof terraces and a separate bar area overlook Trafalgar Square. Unobstructed city views are a big draw but the best part?"

"Bisushimi’s rooftop restaurant by Trafalgar Square barely had time to open this year, so they’ve switched to showcasing their food on delivery. Make sure you order their Toro Taku Maki made with dry-aged rich marbled Bluefin Tuna. Read our Test Drive."

"With views over Trafalgar Square and two massive roof terraces, expect this new Japanese restaurant to be quite a draw. (Initially delivery & takeaway only)"

"Brought to you by the Goodman Restaurant Group, the people behind the Burger & Lobster restaurants, this restaurant champions the beasts of land and sea – the finest beef and Norwegian Red King Crab. The crab comes from the Norway King Crab company in Bugøynes, a small town on the Northern Norwegian/Russian border that benefits from the behemoths of crustacians. While the meat is handpicked from around the globe – everything from USDA Nebraska’s 150-day corn fed Chateaubriand to A5 Grade Japanese Wagyu Sirloin."

"What:Beast is the kind of pricy restaurant only people with serious money frequent. Vast wooden tables, which stretch the length of the dining room, ensure that any meal at Beast feels like a banquet. Steaks are the main draw but don’t overlook the seafood."

"Restaurants Seafood Marylebone"

"When you first walk into Mayfair’s Bocconcino, there are a few things that stand out. First up will be your own reflection, bounced back at you by the mirror panelling that lines the restaurant’s mezzanine-meets-lobby. Then there’s the spiral staircase that swoops down to the lower floor, glass handrails glistening in the soft golden light."

"Read the full review: Bocconcino19 Berkeley Street, Mayfair, London, W1J 8EDThis smart Mayfair joint backs up its stylish looks (think plush seating and glittering chandeliers) with some serious substance. Perfect for date night, dishes such as oozing buratta and pasta spun in a wheel of cheese are guaranteed to ignite romance."

"Tokyo Diner is a great place to go for a quick bite to eat before a show, or a longer meal with friends. It's reasonably priced food and diner style means it's a favourite with Japanese people in London, and those in the know, looking for relatively authentic Japanese style restaurants. Bento boxes allow you to sample many different things from the menu, and the meals that come with rice / fish or meat or noddles will fill you up against the London winter before you hit Soho, the bright lights and the big city."

"2 Newport Pl, London WC2H 7JJ (Chinatown) This authentic Japanese restaurant offers fresh and delicious food with both vegetarian and meat options available. From between £6.50-£11.50 you can pick up miso soup, a rice/noodle based dish and a side dish. Between 3pm and 6pm things are even cheaper."

"Around the corner from Leicester Square, Tokyo Diner makes for a tasty but affordable meal. Tokyo Diner does authentic Japanese food (even the menu is mostly Japanese) at low prices. The menu is large, so many of the options are north of £10, but the real value is found in the lunch menu."

"Having already opened his fabulously-reviewed Endo at the Rotunda, sushi master Endo went one further opening this new sushi bar in the heart of lockdown. Notting Hill residents were the first to enthuse about the amazing bento boxes. If you were missing top drawer sushi during the lockdowns, just looking at Sumi's Insta account might break you."

"Endo Kazutoshi has opened a more laid-back, still pristinely wood-panellled neighbourhood ode to the craft of sushi in Westbourne Grove. The Sumi terrace is open for al fresco dining, offering two chirashi boxes with fatty tuna and caviar as optional add-ons."

"Restaurants London Fields. Some of London’s hottest kitchens get their breads from Ben MacKinnon's tiny bakehouse in the arches beneath London Fields station, and E5’s hand-baked wares are top stuff if you’re stocking up on the staff of life. This independent outfit has its own stone mill and uses only organic grains and the finest ingredients to craft fresh, nutrient-rich loaves – most of which depend on 100 percent sourdough ‘starters’."

"E5 Bakehouse are one of London's premier sourdough providers and you'll find them in many a restaurant too. The range also includes a spelt loaf, rye breads and buns and plenty of top drawer pastries. Brunch at their cafe is very popular, and they have a coffee roastery in Poplar."

"E5 Bakehouse offers all the homely warmth you could want from a pastry shop. Get cosy at the bakery’s gorgeous wooden tables and enjoy the smell of freshly baked bread in the background. Indulge in all the classics alongside some modern revamps."

"East Finchley’s finest sourdough bread, sourdough pastries and babka can all be purchased, as warm and fresh as a YMC shirt, from Margot Bakery. The crack team of egg-cracking experts bake with organic, free-range eggs from Rookery farm which are delivered fresh every week and even the brioche and croissants are leavened with sourdough. It’s that attention to detail and borderline-obsessive focus on the provenance of the ingredients that gives every bake they make an extra layer of depth and richness."

"This East Finchley bakery is the creation of two locals who steadily built up the business to grow a reputation that now brings people across town to them. Sourdough makes an appearance across the board, including in the pastries. Top non-bread draws include their babkas, sourdough brioche cinnamon buns and Danishes, and lots more limited editions."

"Bakers Mathew and Andrew met while working in Melbourne and decided to return to London to set up their own business. Chewy Cookie is all about quality, ethically sourced cookies. The doughs are aged for 24 hours before baking (and we can attest to how great they taste)."
