Small and busy - great food! 14th April 2008

My new favourite lunchtime spot!

Get your authentic Japanese food to sit in or to take away - either way it will be ready in minutes! It's small and crowded - not exactly somewhere for a romantic meal - but perfect for a quick bite with some friends.

Most of the dishes are donburi (rice bowls) - steamed rice with a choice of toppings. The toppings tend not to be very 'saucy' - but are delicious. I particularly like the sesame beef don and tori chilli don. There are also some noodle dishes and a few soups and curries - but I haven't got round to trying them yet.

There is no alcohol license - but a selection of cold drinks, tea or coffee. There is also the Mugi Cha option (Japanese tea) - though I have to say I didn't particularly rate it...

I almost forgot to say how cheap it is! A main is on average £4, with appetizers costing about £1-2. A cold drink is less than a pound!

Pompoko is open from 11:30am each day, and open until 10pm Monday to Thursday, 11pm on Friday and Saturday and 9pm on Sunday.
