Great sushi and dishes in a relaxed atmosphere. Book ahead to get a seat. We now try to go as often as we can.

I have recently read a one star review on Takahashi, although I can echo with some of the comments I find a one star is definitely an unduly harsh review. Let’s bring some balance back here. I had my sushi with their sake pairing experience. While I must say I have never been a fan of sake pairing as i don’t think they really do much to bring out the freshness nor enhance the taste of sushi, I only ordered it because the general lack of variety of sake in this country. Unlike other countries, there isn’t much of a seafood culture in this country and most of the sushi is supplied, I believe, by one main supplier in London. The sushi is as fresh as you can get in London unless you go to one of restaurants of the supplier in London. The location of the restaurant is obscure and definitely not the best part of London, however, the fact that people are willing to book months in advance and are prepared to travel to this restaurant goes to show the niche market for a good omakase restaurant. I think it is rather unfair to compare it to Japan or any of the Far East countries and territories as they are a completely different food culture. If the chef can make good money in such an obscure place with much lower rent, then kudos to him! My take on the food, yes it is not world class but definitely one of the best in England. Food - 8/10, ambience - 8/10, service - 8.5/10, value for money - 7/10.
