Now this is the place, you can't miss out on...

The restaurant, during lunch and dinner times, is full and, usually, you need to wait for at least 15 min for a table, but it is worth the wait... It is usually very busy and buzzy, but quite friendly.

Sushi and salads are freshly prepared, juices freshly squeezed. All mains (rice and noodle) are absolutely delicious! The portions are big enough to even feed my husband!!

Staff are OK, they are fast and efficient, usually they leave you to yourself so you can enjoy the fantastic food...

Try their selection of sake (Japanese rice wine). I recommend the Singapore Noddles - my all time favourite.

They do take away and we do tend to oder in quite often.

Pricewise - the cheapest and tastiest Japanese so far!

Thanks for this. I've often passed this place on the bus and had wrongly assumed that it was a Slug and Lettuce type Pub!

Reasonable prices, love the soya beans in the pod (very fun to eat!), and the simple interior is lovely. Definitely need to go again!

OH my god. Without a doubt the best Japanese restaurant I have eaten in.

All sushi is freshly prepared and the noodle and rice dishes are also cooked to order. The Blackbean and Chilli Lo Mein is my favourite, with so much more flavour than your typical dish. The raw juice is also great.

With each dish costing about £5 including rice or noodles, this place is incredible value for Kensington and is usually full by 12:30 each lunchtime.

In fact, this is the thing I miss most about not working in Kensington anymore - make sure you try it if you're in the area.
