Kurumaya in City of London, Westminster

Best California roll I’ve ever tasted!! Food came super quick, and the waitress was very nice. Right outside of Farringdon station so very convenient!

and as such we were here for a pre-theater dinner. As has been said - very cramped indeed, no hangers for coats; like in a bad theater itself. Small and stuffy but at least warm. Service friendly but menu very limited, all drinks etc premade so no sugar reduction possible. We had a bento and a sushi set; mine was fine I'd say, okay quality, the beef rather below, the sashimi slices good. Prices, oh well, London Japanese, meaning quadruple Tokyo (and that's the bigger and richer city). In sum, absolutely one can go there before a show or so, but it's not a destination restaurant, even in context.

Small place with very tight space between tables. Sashimi was good freshness but sliced really thin, you don't really enjoy the taste because of that. Twenty pounds later I was still very hungry but had to leave for a concert at nearby barbican.

Se llena un poco, las mesas están muy juntas. Pero eso se suma a la sensación del lugar. El servicio es excelente, muy amable y rápido. La comida tarda un poco en llegar, ya que aparentemente todo está hecho a pedido. Grandes maki rolls y sushi. Muy bien Katsu. Definitivamente volveré aquí otra vez, una vez que los mejores restaurantes japoneses en Londres, a precios muy razonables.

Si quiere algo más que sushi o shashimi, tenga cuidado si es alérgico. Todo está preparado de antemano, por lo que no pueden elegir la opción de comida. Agregue a esto una actitud pobre y usted tiene todas las razones por las que no puedo pensar en visitar. Si quieres sushi o shashimi, entonces el restaurante los sirve bien, pero pagarás caro.

In rather cramped and unpretentious premises (which look like they could have been a tea shop in an earlier life) Kurumaya effortlessly dishes up tasty, fresh Japanese fare at not unreasonable prices. If you are in the area (the Museum of London, definitely worth a visit, is nearby) and don't have a reservation, as was our case, you may still get one of the diminutive tables. The edamame were well presented and nicely seasoned with large grain rock salt, and the hiyashi (seaweed) salad was excellent. The miso soup was fine though maybe lacking a little depth of flavour. A selection of sashimi went down very well with the boss especially liking the squid, and the nigiri was delicious with flavoursome toro (belly tuna) starring this time. If you would like an alcoholic drink there are three bottled beers but the green tea is very good. Service is attentive, friendly and informative. Great little place but it is minimalist if you like space.

Title says it all. Highly recommended. Food and service impeccable. Not super cheap - but satisfactory. £100 for 2 and we pushed the boat out including drinks. Atmosphere cafe style.

Food choice is not immense but is super good and fresh. We went for diner and think the busiest period was over, lucky for us.. no long waiting period since everything is made on order. We spent around £96 for 3 persons (tips included), so not super cheap but well worth it

nice food ... no loyalty card and never as discount although as a company we spend hundreds in their... but food nice and the girls are nice that work their

Amazing Japanese food. The sushi and ramen are well worth it. It gets busy at lunch time. If you're going to be dining in then get there quick.
