restaurant, but it's doing well justifying its existence. Get a table at the back, one of the sunken ones! Then order some sushi off the a la carte menu. If you're not a sushi snob, the sushi pizza and fashion sushi are all really tasty (sushi pizza is deep fried rice with fish on top. Brilliant). It's good value, good fun and the non-sushi dishes are good too - I've only tried the noodles but they've always been done very nicely; pretty straightforward stuff but definitely tasty and good value. Service isn't amazing - they've got drinks orders wrong a few times - but they're speedy with the food and friendly, so no major problems. All in all, a redeeming feature of Catford.

This restaurant from the outside looks.... well shabby I guess. Not the greatest location by any means (and I speak as a Catford resident). Step inside however and you will be amazed.

As soon as you walk in the door, you are assured of a warm welcome by the owner. This is a simple looking restaurant dominated by the open cooking area. The menu features a great selection of Sushi, Sashimi (that's the raw fish) as well as a range of Japanese starters, noodles and Teryaki style dishes and even Bento boxes. If you know your way round a Japanese menu, dive straight into the a la carte menu. Otherwise try one of the set meals. The staff are knowledgable and helpful if you need advice or information.

The sushi and sashimi are or particular note. The fish is always beautifully fresh, and all the sushi and sashimi is prepared to order by their resident sushi chefs at the open counter. I have been here several times and have never been disappointed.

For drinks, stick to the traditional green tea or saki, or try a "Bubble Tea" - a drink pretty much unlike anything you will have had before!

Highly recommended, certainly for anyone locally, and worth travelling to if you are a little bit further away.
