My favourite Japanese restaurant. Yes it is a bit pricey, but great for a special occasion. Book ahead, because it is small

I've always been a fan of Japanese food (despite an allergy to salmon, which cuts out some sushi) and so I was pleasantly surprised when I found this Japanese restaurant in Golders Green - only a five minute drive from where I live.

The food is very good. In fact, it's so good that Cafe Japan is my favourite local Japanese restaurant, because I don't think there's better Japanese food around North-West London.

Service is good, with helpful waiters and waitresses. I don't bother about booking in advance, as I don't really go at busy times, but I've been told that on a Saturday evening it's better to book ahead.

The main problem with Cafe Japan is the price of the food. Everything else is great, but oh how expensive it is. Too much for me to go there regularly :(

Otherwise, I would thoroughly recommend Cafe Japan to any Japanese food lover or someone willing to try something new! 4/5, only missing out on 5/5 because of the prices.

They do the best sushi in this restaurant. People who doesn't like raw fish can have prawn tempura inside out roll , the grilled yellow fish tail sushi is a must try!
Luv this place and shame it's far away

This is a really busy place with good sushi, a bit pricey though. Went there on a busy Saturday night, they had lots of bookings (we didn't book) and yet they managed to fit us in provided we had to give them back the table by a certain time. Waitresses were very helpful, and they food was delicious.

Simple Japanese 20th September 2006

Amoneg introduced me to this place and it's become a bit of a pilgrimage for us whenever we're around the area. Café Japan is a simple restaurant that offers good sushi at good prices. The food's cooked in front of you and you get a friendly welcome as you come into the restaurant.

You'll soon learn that I'm a BIG fan of sushi. I'm not sure when my obsession began but Cafe Japan is one of the few places in London still that fuels it. Lunchtimes are best as prices are really worth it. As you walk in to the restaurant, you are greeted (true Japanese style) by a sing-song welcome from all the chefs who work behind a bar near the entrance. The staff are very friendly and will often strike up conversation with you. If you're not a big fan of sushi be sure to try the grilled yellow-tail. Y-U-M
