Incredibly Authentic Japanese Treat in Kensington The Big 3s: Ambience: traditional Japanese welcome and goodbye, friendly teamster at bar, attentive cross-training staff, well light environment; tempura/sushi bar option; no Japanese music at all; Service: attentive and traditionally Japanese and British; guys behind the bar are working seriously and well, but they don't greet or smile at the guests at all Food: authentic tempura and service and flavors EXCEPT no daikon radish inside the tempura sauce escapes our understanding completely; plenty of tasty vegetarian options
