I’ll never not adore this restaurant. I’ve been coming here for nearly a decade, not super regularly but it’s never disappointed me. The sushi is fresh and flavourful with soft and fluffy rice, the drinks and cheap and cheerful (get the plum wine!!!) and they’ve always got room for me and my friends. One of my fave sushi places in south east london, I would take anyone here. And the value is amazing!! You always leave full and they’ve always got something you want. It’s even good for my veggie and vegan friends!

We have waited too long to write a review for our most favorite place in London. And no, we are not in the so called new age "food critics" category, whatever that meand. If you're expecting high end service and a katana wielding lesson, this is not the place for you. We are also not "authentic Japanese food experts", as some gleefully label themselves, we just like the restaurant, top to bottom, authentic or not. Service can be slow at times, as it can be experienced IN ANY OTHER RESTAURANT ON THE PLANET, but if you're not going there after a starvation diet or during peak times, it should be fine. Consider that it is a family business and three, four people are usually doing everything, from cooking to serving and cleaning. We often take our own empty plates back or we even clear our own table, as to give them a hand (now the restaurant aficionados are going to have a mild stroke upon hearing this) but that, for us, is part of the charm of the place. Food wise, we have never been disappointed, I mean NEVER, and the price per quality and quantity can't be beaten in London. We are two average people and we never seem to pass over the 25 pounds bill, for both of us. That's literally the cheapest dinners we ever had in London. Since we've been going there for one year and a half we've got to know the staff and they've gotten to know us and we've always been understanding of the serving times or possible mishaps. So, my advice is to go there with an open mind and decent appetite and if you're planning to visit the restaurant at peak times, be ready to wait a bit for your food. And stop whining about everything.

Extremely slow service. Really wanted to love the place as the staff are nice. Starters were fairly tasty but after waiting over an hour for ramen to arrive we had to ask for the bill early as we had booked to see a film at the cinema nearby. There were only 4 other tables when we arrived and all already had their food so not sure why it was taking so long to make ramen. I thought an hour and 10 mins would be plenty of time to whip up some noodles but sadly not. Would come back but only if I have a spare 3-4 hours as it seems to take a while to make dishes. Not sure how they’d cope if the restaurant was actually full but definitely need more/faster cooks

This is such an underrated gem and some of the best sushi I've had in South London for a ridiculously reasonable price! Don't judge a book b its cover - the front of this restaurant does not do this place justice. The sushi is as good as any I've had at fancy central London restaurants but for SUCH a low price. The staff are amazing, the unique setting (sunken tables) makes it so much fun, and the Japanese-Chinese menu includes all my favourite dishes from both cuisines! I almost don't want more people to find out about this place but the owners really deserve it because they're doing such an amazing job. The free matcha chocolate that they make in-house and give you with the bill was the icing on the cake !

This is not the most helpful of reviews but I wanted to balance out the amazing reviews everywhere that convinced us to visit. I did the best out of us, as I am gluten free. There was very little choice but I had some rice with dried meat and some kind of pickled veg on the side. When you stirred it together it was tasty. My friend's food - sorry I don't know the name frankly looked like vomit and she didn't like it at all. Her daughter was also unimpressed with her food. I felt bad when I looked at their plates and bad that I had invited them. We enjoyed the novelty of sitting on the floor with our legs hanging into the 'pit' and there was a nice atmosphere.

I found this place by accident while taking a different route home. While it looks nothing special from the outside, it definitely has a lot to offer and is a very good value for money. Aside from traditional tables you can also seat Japanese style at the low tables which adds to the climate. The menu is very rich, prices are very low and portions generous. You can choose from a selection of starters, sushi and variety of hot dishes. My personal favourite were takoyaki and it’s probably the only place you can find them in this area. I also went for chicken kara-age, crispy squid, prawn rolls and mushrooms on skewers. All freshly made and served hot to the table. Very nice service as well and

This place is a gem. I've eaten here many times and always been impressed. The owners and all the staff are so welcoming and lovely. At the busiest times it can be a little bit slow, so I find it's better to order things to share as the kitchens turn out dishes one after the other, but it's always worth the wait and always a good time.

Sapporo never fails to delight. The food was delicious (as was the wine actually), we felt safe there (the tables are distanced and were sanitised regularly) and the service was especially good. I've frequented this restaurant a handful of times over the years, and was especially keen to support it after the UK lockdown. Having never left a review online for Sapporo before, despite valuing it so highly, this review aims to right that wrong. As I say above, the service was faultless: they gave us space when we needed it (I was catching up with my bestie after months of not seeing each other) and were attentive when we were ready to order more, which we did frequently! We shared some starters (pork gyoza, avocado rolls, vegetable tempura) before moving on to mains (chicken ramen and the duck teriyaki bento box) with wine. The house red was really full bodied and not watered down like you get in some other restaurants. I always get the veggie tempura at this restaurant because it really is so good. It didn't include sweet potato and peppers this time, which was disappointing, but the battered mushrooms and cauliflower were delicious. The bento box for me is excellent value for money (see the pics I've posted of the menu for Sept 2020 prices), as you get a steaming, vegetable-filled bowl of miso soup as well as the main and pickles. My friend loved her ramen, as did my sister, who I ordered take out for at the same time as I dined with my friend. Do support this local restaurant if you can. I was very grateful for the top notch service I received earlier this week, and for the full belly I left with too!

I always have to eat here at least one to three times a month. Best Asian restaurant in Lewisham/Catford. I love the ambience. They are so good at what they are doing and the food they make. The bento boxes are worth it as well as the starters. The staff are so polite and welcoming. I was gonna give a 5* in total but I had to go with 4* because I badly need them to have a delivery but still not. I have been going to this restaurant for years and I honestly feel like it's time to step up the game. It is quite a trek to travel from Lewi to Catford especially when I'm so tired from work so I highly suggest a delivery. Otherwise I couldn't ask for any better, just a slight additional recommendation ❤️

Was surprised to see a Japanese restaurant in the local area, so I for sure had to try this place. It’s not in the very best place in Catford, rather I never knew this place was around until a friend recommended it whilst looking for places to eat at in the area The food itself was quite disappointing. The ramen didn’t offer much flavour to it, broth was quite bland and the beef was very plain in flavour. It did sort of offer the spicy kick as it was advertised, but it wasn’t as strong as I was expecting. Wasn’t really the best value for money. The tapioca pearl drink was unbearably sweet, was super bummed by the tapioca. It wasn’t chewy, nor was it even of a ball-like form like usual tapioca pearls. Could do with a clean as the interior was quite filthy and the display menus was filled with dust - essentially it looked like the place wasn’t well taken care of I do like how it has seating options where you can either sit on the floor with your feet in a sunken floor, or go for a western style table and seating. Service was okay, staff were friendly, but the food took a while to arrive. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for good quality Japanese food, but for the location and if you’re looking for something cheaper and more local in the market, then this may suit you

We used to come to this restaurant a lot and had good food and service. Unfortunately the last two times we have visited, the service was extremely slow. Dishes arrived when all other diners had long finished their meals. The interior also felt dirty and tired. Some compensation for the poor service would have been appreciated but was not offered.
