The cutest! Lovely little place and delicious food. I had a very healthy fish, rice and veg dish which was simultaneously simple and perfectly executed with fresh ingredients. My friend had the udon soup which she enjoyed very much.

Delightful small local Japanese café run by a friendly team and always-smiling eponymous owner.
There’s a grand piano that’s used in the various classical and Jazz concerts that they have every couple of weeks. The acoustic is good and and the intimate concerts are a highlight for me in this area.
Coffee is good, from a small producer, I think. Western pastries and some nice home-made Japanese cakes.
There are noodles, sushi bowls and Bento.
I think the lunch box is intended to be a Lovely Assortment of Things rather than to fill up starving tourists ;)
Well worth crossing over the station for.

Very cute cafe! They have a lovely matcha, on the creamier side. Its maybe my favourite matcha in london. Their food portions are a bit small though so be aware if you're ordering.

Finished half marathon and had lunch here, a friendly and cozy Japanese cafe with good selection of udon/soba, rice ball, miso soup and drinks. Kind of home made vibe and taste, simple and yet comfy, needed all the pickles, warm soups and hot tea after a big run

Such a cute, eye-catching, and feel good cafe located just outside kew garden station. There’s something so special and unique about this place… They offer a good selection of warm drinks, pastries, desserts, and hot Japanese food. The tempura udon was so delicious. The noodles had a beautiful texture and the tempura was fried to perfection! Will definitely be back ☺️

Nice meal in cozy neighborhood. Not too crowded in mid-may. Portions were a bit small, so maybe next time get lunch special and miso

Ver cute cafe I stumbled across when I got out of the station last night. I arrived early then expected, friend hasn’t arrived and it started raining.
First thing to note is that there’s no waiter to sit you down, just find a seat yourself and go to the counter to order when you’re ready.
I got the prawn tempura udon, was the best udon I had so far and so soothing to eat on a cold rainy night. Flavour totally suit my taste buds, perfect saltiness and spiciness. Chewy udon, crispy prawn. Comes with a bottle of seven spice as well, would recommend adding some for extra kick. Lunch menu looked very good too, would definitely revisit. ありがとうございます!

A local treasure in a great spot. Tasty home-style Japanese food with lovely proprietors. Always feels special. Just wish it was open throughout the week!

What a gem we found! It’s such a nice cafe, authentic Japanese food and desserts in a lovely cafe. Superb services too. The tempura udon is so so so good. Don’t miss it if you are in Kew!

Stopped here to have an oat matcha latte on my way to kew gardens and it was absolutely delicious! Truly Japanese style. Lady at the counter was super kind and cute and she gave us a complimentary cookie :)

This place prides itself in quality and I would certainly return here. A couple of months back, we visited this place, ordered a salmon bento for takeaway and went out to get some other food.. The queue elsewhere was so long that by the time we came back to collect the food, the restaurant insisted that they would need to make a new bento for us as the quality of the fish would no longer be fresh.
They volunteered for that with a smile, and at no extra cost (when it was really our fault for taking too long to come back).
Absolute food connoisseurs!

Very relaxing space, easygoing staff. Quite varied items on the menu, average tasting lunch special - rice dish. Need only a few touches to deserve five stars.

Great jazz gig last night with Meredith White, Julian Costello ans John Jones. Love the way the owners encourage live music and share their wonderful Fazioli grand piano with musicians. Wonderful home cooked Japenese food on offer. No licence so BYO.

Authentic Japanese restaurant. Love the vibe and the decoration here. Great place to stay after visiting Kew Garden.

The owner and his wife (I guess she is) were both very kind and friendly. The food served was fresh and very delicious too! It's just next to Kew gardens train station.

Delicious affogato and udon. Very friendly Japanese staff. Very clean and well decorated. Highly recommended!

Such a lovely place to relax and have some food. I find it hard to have a matcha latte that tastes right and I am very fond of theirs. My friends and I also really enjoy the various treats they serve, such as crêpes, scones and cheesecake. Bonus Japanese toilets 🚽🚿
