Ii-ma Sushi in Sutton

A small but authentic Japanese restaurant with nice Japanese speaking staff (or owner?). Sashimi and sushi are delicious. Feels like I am having my dinner in Japan.🍣

Tried one of their set menu with udon + sushi. Great taste and good value for the price! I think this is the best one in Sutton.

Fresh and genuine kitchen . Soup was well balanced taste and sushi mix was satisfying. Great for a visit

There is no other Japanese restaurant that I would choose to go to in this part of town. One of the best, especially for sashimi!

Good food. Very small space. Better book the table and arrive no later than 10min.

Amazing sushi restaurant, tasty fresh food, and amazing service

I'm enjoying my Delicious Dinner 🍣🍱🥟 😍😋 from iima-Sushi TakeAway

Excellent food, great service, lovely little restaurant. One of our favourite places to eat in Sutton, we visit here every so often and we always are happy to eat and chat with the staff. Highly recommend.

The restaurant didnt have the card machine working. Had to go out of the restaurant and spend another £2 extra to withdraw cash from a cash machine. Staff apart from apologising (and are polite) did not compensate for such inconvenience. A esteemed establishment would have handled it better.

Authentic Japanese menu with a small and atmospheric vibe. Run by Japanese who are very friendly. I could eat here every day.

Lovely little place. Great California roll, loved the wow roll too. They were worth the allergic reaction. The staff are lovely, very very nice.

Food is very good, and is not very expensive highly recommend this for special occasions. Beautiful plating and fresh food.

Everything was perfect! Miso soup and udon tempura noodle soup are recommended.

every time when I was working late, I just thought about iima sushi. Atsuko san and Sachie san are always providing the best service to the customers.

Fantastico 🤩cucina ottima personale gentilissimo locale molto caratteristico cibo meraviglioso!i dolci sono buonissimi tutta la cucina è buonissima

Food was great and very reasonably priced. Staff were really friendly and service was great.

Since it opened and regardless of staffing changes over the years,, the food, service and ambiance has always been of the highest standard. Everything is freshly made and the scope of the menu is enough for the most ardent fan of Japanese/Asian Cuisine to be satisfies. Prices are very keen and there is always a smile from the staff, be warned though, this is a very small space so if you are lunching, be sure to reserve a table or try to avoid the local Office lunchtime breaks. A marvellous and welcome addition to Sutton’s Food Scene and evermore shall it hopefully be so!

Best food in town, great service, lovely atmosphere, but as it's small it can be hard to get a seat. Warm Sake is a treat.

I’m Not one for reviewing places but I felt compelled to after an absolutely delicious sushi experience. I’m a sushi addict and am generally utterly underwhelmed by sushi in the UK. Not so here, perfectly cooked sushi rice topped with melt in the mouth fish , a real treat. I will be back.!!!!

Incredible to eat in and take away. Amazing sushi (fresh counter!) and delicious meals. Super friendly service.

I have a sushi udon set and it is delicious and fresh. Sake also tastes good.

Very happy with experience. Lovely little restaurant with very family staff, great food & drinks. Would recommend for anyone who loves sushi & Japanese culture.

Best sushi in Sutton. Cozy atmosphere and consistently great service.

I've been here about 2 times and the staff are great as always and the food is amazing. I would definitely come back next time.

The best little sushi restaurant in Sutton with amazing staff.

Great vibe and service but don't expect the food to be authentic. Spider marki: The soft shell crab was not crispy at all. The marki itself was loose. Tori karaage: The chickens themselves were good but we're surprised that they weren't served with mayo and a lemon slice. Unagi don: Eel was thin. No taste of grill. Rice was not from Japan, probably just Japanese style, which ruined the whole don.

Food is nice but prices have gone up too much. I ordered take away salmon avocado roll and chicken katsu cost me £51. Not good.

The food is so good! I eat everything on the bowl and the staff is also really friendly! The miso soup tastes better than other restaurant's miso soups and the lunch sets are a bargain!

Lovely food and very friendly staff.

Very good food, waitress was very friendly, good atmosphere. 10/10 recommend

Nice little cosy Japanese restaurant. Huge menu and good prices. Delicious

Good food, friendly staff. The salmon teriyaki and the Yasmin Tempura rolls were very tasty.

Loved our experience! Great food and a lovely atmosphere. We also all felt the price was very reasonable too. We will be returning

The staff were so lovely and the food was very good. Loved the atmosphere of this place. Will definitely be back soon.

Took my son for his birthday. They have a great menu to choose from, and food was absolutely delicious!! The staff were so friendly and lovely and made an overall great visit.

I love ii-ma sushi! Best restaurant in Sutton. Such a lovely spot!

I was in 2022 there and it was very good! Would definitely go there again!

Up to Asia’s standard Japanese restaurant. The staff is nice and friendly. Have been there couple of times, never fail me once!

This is by far the best sushi in the Sutton area - the fish is always fresh and service is very friendly. Their lunch sets are also great value for money.

Great food, hands down. Very small restaurant but very cosy. The only thing for me are the prices. Slightly on a higher side.

Best sashimi ever! So so fresh and melted in your mouth. Can’t wait to come back for you! Very cute and quaint restaurant

It was a nice restaurant food was fine I ordered quite a lot and because of the amount of food there they only bring the wasabi sauce for one dish. I did asked little bit more and they asked £1 extra for extra wasabi which I spend £57.50 for the meal. That sauce suppose to be a complimentary for the amount I spend. I'm sorry but nobother restaurants did ask any extra for wasabi which that was greedy. I won't be going back there.

Small quiet Japanese restaurant. Good nigri, sashimi, maki and all served by a Timothy Chalamet style charming waiter. Will definitely be back soon.

Fantastic sushI, dumplings & chicken kaarage. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. It’s small inside but the service is quick. Reasonably priced. The best, freshest sushi in the area

The best place for original Japanese food, the staff is super kind and nice and the food is delicious!

The best sushi ever, noodle are amazing and the staff is very nice and super kind! The place is super clean and small but very comfortable.

Very small inside but the food is good and the lunch menu good value.

The restaurant had a genuine vibe, but sadly, the sushi didn't hit the mark. The fish lacked freshness, and the sushi rice just fell apart.

Nice and small family run sushi place with good and reliable food. Also reasonable price!

An absolute gem of an intimate Sushi Restaurant We regularly lunch here and have done since Il Ma opened in Sutton. My wife and I can honestly say that the dishes, service and value for money are unbeatable and there has never been a mediocre experience or imperfect dish in all of our visits. I’ve sampled most of the extensive menu and wholeheartedly say that they are all excellent, call me unimaginative but I highly recommend their Katsu Chicken also. A great, ‘compact and bijou’ fantastic Japanese style eaterie.

Great traditional tasting/feeling Japanese food. Lovely food. Lovely service. Will definitely be using again.

A great sushi place with friendly staff and space to dine-in, an added bonus that it's open at lunch time as many local sushi restaurants with room to dine-in near me only seem to open of an evening

Wow loved this place. The sushi and katsu curries are absolutely delicious. The service is so friendly and efficient. We’ll definitely be back soon.

The sushi is always good here and freshly made. Good value and lots of dishes to choose from. They have budget options for lunch with sushi from 6.50 and a special lunch menu. I always nip in a few times a week and the service is quick and friendly.

I went to ii-ma for the first time about 5/6 years ago and I remember that it was just OK, and nothing special. However, I moved closer to the restaurant and decided to try it again just to see and can confirm that it has massively improved! The food is really tasty and there is a really great selection of dishes to choose from. I like that it's also open late so if you wanted a later snack, it's possible. One of the chefs is Korean and the wait staff are Japanese which makes me super happy because it's more authentic and it allows me to speak Japanese, which I don't often get the chance to do in the UK, especially in Sutton! I hope they will start to offer a delivery service soon.

Very welcoming and pleasant staff. Beautiful sushi and sashimi. Katsu & teriyaki were nice enough but not wow and quite small for a main meal. Only 18 seats and lots of potential customers being turned away and waiting outside resulted in what felt like a very rushed meal - 2 courses eaten and bill paid in under 40 minutes. Would absolutely go back as the sushi is very very good but next time we would choose a wider selection of this rather than the meal dishes and order a couple at a time to enjoy at a more leisurely pace. Either that or return for lunch or to take away both of which we have done in the past without the time pressure experienced this evening.

Always a delightful experience this tiny japanese restaurant opposite Sutton station is a must visit. Freshest sushi ( and I live in Cornwall) The Sashimi meal at £18 is one of London's absolute bargains. 3 types of Sashimi + salad + rice + pickles + miso. Make sure you book!

Limited seating, as the restaurant is quite small (recommend you make a reservation if you're planning on having dinner here on a busy evening), but charming interior and serves delicious food.

Lovely little restaurant. Fast turning into my favourite place in Sutton. Food is lovely and the staff are so friendly.

Amazing, tried this tonight for the first time and my wife and I absolutely loved it.

Nice food and very nice service 😄

Such lovely people and a warm intimate atmosphere. Feels like hone food. Quick service. They top up your green tea!

Food was incredible! Great service and the most amazing selection of authentic Japanese food 👌 will definitely be back

Brilliant vibe, authentic place, honestly not too pricy neither all things considered. Really happy we made the decision to come here tonight, will come back.

The food was absolutely perfect and the staff are lovely.

Amazing sushi restaurant! We've been there twice and all the times we had an amazing experience

Delicious sushi, really lovely service and a fab atmosphere, not much more you can ask for! Perfect dinner date spot

Super fresh, best sushis I had in a long time!

Great sushi and wonderful service!

Fresh 🐠 authentic food and great service!It was a great birthday lunch treat ! Highly recommend it !!!

Best sushi i ever eat❤️all fresh made in front of you❤️

This restaurant is one of a kind. It has Authentic japanese cuisine, authentic japanese design & the loveliest staff. Very delicious food for a good price. I definitely recommend this place and will come back. 😊

Due to covid I couldn't go back home to Japan. This small family owned izakaya in Sutton made me feel like I was home in tokyo. It features typical Japanese decor with chef preparing food behind the counter. The quality of the food is second to none. Fantastic udon and very polite service! Oishii

If you enjoy Japanese food, give this place a try. Ordered over the phone, very easy. The lady who answered the phone was extremely friendly and helpful in talking through a few questions. Food was ready after around 40 minutes, was fairly busy in the restaurant when picking up the food. Food was well packed and travelled well back home. Everything was cooked well and the Sushi/Sashimi/Nigiri was all fresh and well prepared. If you enjoy this cuisine I would highly recommend this place. Will definitely be ordering or even visiting in person!

Great little restaurant, will definitely be going back

The best udon soup in whole area. Fresh fish and food very tasty. It is one of the best restaurant for my girlfriend and me. Service and style are simple, but perfect and precise. I love this place!

excellent sushi, reasonable price for lunch

Amazing food and fantastic service!

Fantastic sushi. I drive half an hour each way to collect from here. It's that good!

Absolutely amazing, the food had left me speechless.

Excellent value for money and fantastic service.

Best experience of my life!! Staff super friendly and lovely. The chef is 5⭐ Best sushi ever

Had a wonderful meal here this evening. The food was amazing and the staff were all super friendly. Great little gem in Sutton.

Best sushi place ever. I will travel all the way from Romania just to have a meal in this place. That's how good it is.

fantastic food and friendly staff, look forward to going again

Suberb Japanese food, yhe only place that's better is in Eastbourne so too far for regular visits!

Lovely food and friendly service.

The quality of the food was excellent and the staff were all very friendly and polite - Highly recommended! お疲れ様でした！

What a gem…! Really nice food and friendly staff. Can’t wait to go back!!

impressive sushi 🍣 Nice atmosphere and friendly Japanese staff if you have a chance I'm strongly recommend this place

It had chicken katsu curry and Hamachi (Yellow Tail) nigiri. Curry was tasty and nigiri was gorgeous! I took 5 different types of sushi rolls home and we enjoyed them. Very friendly, relaxing atmosphere. I will come back with my family.

Amazing food, friendly staff, very good environment. Certainly the place I'd recommend to whom likes good quality food. It was a fantastic experience for me

Lovely sushi place. Hamachi (yellow tail) nigiri (2 pcs) was beautiful. I will definitely come back with friends to eat more sushi!

Wow, very small family run sushi restaurant in Sutton ii-ma sushi, they don’t have an Instagram. They do have a Facebook page so give them a follow. The sushi is all fresh and made to order the dragon rolls are must try. Had a selection of sushi, seaweed salad, chicken katsu and yaki soba. Overall amazing food, friendly service and excellent atmosphere. You get a massive 👍

Nice Sushi restraunt at the top of Sutton, right by the station as well. Friendly and professional staff.

Before we visited the restaurant, we looked at the pictures and reviews left previously and we were very excited! When we had food, we ordered Chirashi don(assorted fish with rice) + Ume sushi set + Tempura don, both quality and quantity were quite disappointing. The assorted sashimi provided with Chirashi don, they were so thin so you could see through... I was not impressed at all. ​ For Tempura don, the batter with prawns was not crispy and not as airy as it should be that you would expect as Tempura. It was just boring prawn fry. Besides there were only 3 and the mirin(sweet cooking drink) they added to the rice was not cooked so I could smell very strong alcohol in the rice which was not so great either. Ume sushi set we paid £11 but I think Wasabi sushi set might be much better… I revisited the reviews left again today, they were mainly left more than 2 years.... the restaurant is not the same I assume. I would not go there again, the recent visit was quite enough!

Lovely staff and quick response and very tasty gyoza's

Best Japanese restaurant in Sutton!

Wonderful food. Best sushi ever and the lady that attended us is such an angel ❤️

Had an absolutely amazing meal here last night, everything we ate (and we ate far too much!) was delicious and beautifully presented. I’d call it a hidden gem but it’s not exactly hidden - so conveniently located opposite the station! Really reasonably priced, too. Definitely my new go-to local spot when I get a sushi craving.
