Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Camden Town

"Located just below Duck & Waffle on the 38th and 39th floors of London’s Herron Tower is the equally impressive restaurant with a view – SUSHISAMBA. SUSHISAMBA uniquely blends Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine and culture, with a menu featuring everything from tempura and sushi to churrasco and seviches. As well as the large main dining room with its floor-to-ceiling windows and unusual bamboo roof, SUSHISAMBA also features the highest outdoor dining terraces in Europe, offering unparalleled 360-degree views across the capital."

"Restaurants Brazilian Liverpool Street. Take the glass elevator clinging to the side of Heron Tower, shoot up 38 floors in a few stomach-flipping seconds, walk through the pulsating bar and find your way to the double-height glasshouse of a restaurant, with its magnificent bamboo-lattice ceiling and wraparound views. Japan, Brazil and Peru come together here, making Sushisamba a sure-fire hit for a showy date night."

"One of London’s best Japanese restaurants, Dinings SW3 has launched a Dinings at Home delivery and collection offering, serving popular dishes such as grilled black cod, Wagyu beef, and potted Native lobster. Highlights also include the restaurant’s sashimi and sushi dishes. Dinings SW3’s own Sake Blend ‘78’ is also available to accompany."

"Restaurants Japanese Belgravia. This place is not cheap. But if sushi is your desert island dinner, it’s worth it."

"Two years after it launched, Zuma got a little sister in the form of the first Roka on Charlotte Street. Since then, the suave sushi bar’s predictable popularity has seen three more follow in its footsteps in Mayfair, Aldwych and Canary Wharf. Pretty plates may come at a pretty penny but are exceptional with it, with dishes including a wagyu tempura maki with karashi ponzu and yellowtail sashimi with truffle yuzu."

"Restaurants Japanese Canary Wharf. When the suits vacate Canary Wharf, this slick Japanese rolls out the red carpet for residents. Family brunch is a blast: under-tens can choose from a three-course menu and run riot in the play area."

"Roka, on North Audley Street in Mayfair, will be opening its terrace to diners. Just moments from the bustling Oxford Street, Roka brings a unique style of contemporary Japanese robatayaki cuisine and its sophisticated design to Mayfair."

"Charming, highly regarded and given the skill that goes into what you’re eating, one of the best value meals you’ll get in London. One of our staff here, James, once had to call the restaurant 4,000 times to get a single booking, that’s how difficult it is to get a table. Run by Toru ‘Tetsu’ Takahashi and his wife Harumi, the seven-seater restaurant is regarded as one of the holy grails amongst the food connoisseurs of London, and somewhere you don’t have to spend a fortune to have an incredible meal."

"Clerkenwell’s Sushi Tetsu might be the hardest reservation to secure in London. That’s in part because there are only seven seats. It’s also because pound-for-pound, it serves the best (value) sushi in the city."

"Like Sushi Tetsu, Wimbledon’s Takahashi is run by a husband and wife, chef and front-of-house team, with the chef both ex-Nobu and named Takahashi. Cornish red mullet and horse mackerel grace a specials card to make anywhere blush. Takahashi-san borrows from the Mediterranean elements of his former employers here, but superlative nigiri and sashimi — served with minute attention to detail to prevent spoilage of the rice at a restaurant with no sushi bar — are the things to come for."

"You could walk past this tiny spot on Merton Road five times before realising that this low-key restaurant is home to some of the best sushi you can get in SW London. It’s a small restaurant with an intimate feel, and a menu of nigiri, sashimi, maki, and small plates. The fish is excellent, and the spicy tuna and shrimp tempura maki are some of the best we’ve had in London."

"If you're looking for outdoor dining in Clapham, then Hannah should be on your radar. The quirky bar and restaurant features a huge selection of wine by the glass alongside a tasty menu of light bites, from gyoza to grilled octopus."

"One of London's coolest restaurants, Chotto Matte fuses Japanese and Peruvian cuisine through its innovative Nikkei menu. Pop over to the Soho spot for the chance to tuck into beef tataki and passion fruit salsa, sea bass ceviche and aubergine miso sushi, washed down with some of their sumptuous signature cocktails."

"Dedicated to providing a night out like no other in the area, Mokoko specialises in cocktails, Champagne and wine. Aiming for a sophisticated clientele, the bar centres its relaxing environment around the 25+ demographic. Multi-award winning, Mokoko has…"

"4 Arches Ln, Nine Elms, London SW11 8AB Why should you care?. This is the second Street Pizza from Gordon Ramsay (after St Paul's). It's all about bottomless pizza options here."

"Fashion fans should bookmark this undeniably chic patisserie pronto. Pasticceria Marchesi is one of Milan’s most established bakeries and is now owned by one of the world’s biggest fashion powerhouses, Prada. They opened a London outpost earlier this year and it’s become one of Mount Street’s most Instagrammable spots – for both it’s sweet treats and sugar almond coloured interiors."

"Italian-originating Said is the London offshoot of Rome’s oldest chocolate shop, but the gravity of such status doesn’t stop it from getting a little silly. Hot chocolate here transcends warm beverage to full-blown dessert – rich, thick, molten chocolate is spooned into cups so generously it often overflows. Cakes can be ordered here too, with the option of adding a dutiful drenching of hot milk, dark or white chocolate sauce."

"The inside of Silk Road now too often resembles a seminar of Theatre and Performance students at Goldsmiths, which is why it’s all the more important to bypass sitting inside and get the food to go — which is still an option not a lot of people take advantage of. Since reopening in July, it feels like some dishes are back at a high consistency: the T.E.P. (tomato, egg, pepper) noodles had a proper hit of chilli and cumulonimbus egg whites coddling tensile noodles, and barely cooked tomato chunks, while getting the handmade cabbage in a tupperware makes it easier to drink its umami rich sauce despite it being at least 80% scalding oil."

"Restaurants Chinese Camberwell. A pioneer of regional Chinese cuisine in London, this Camberwell cutie puts the focus on dishes from the north-west frontier province of Xinjiang. The flavours can be fiery, although they’re tempered with a plethora of spices – a legacy from the namesake Silk Road that was used to transport treasures between the East and West."

"Get an authentic taste of China in South London at Silk Road. Silk Road’s short menu includes Sichuan-style dishes and Xinjiang specialities. What attracts most people to Silk Road however is the noodle and stew menu."
