Hayaku Sushi Cafe

We don't always find good sushi in London so this is a gem. Dining space is limited so it is best to arrive early/make a reservation. Service is attentive and friendly, the lady makes sure to check in now and again despite being busy with orders and takeaway. Definitely coming back again to try other things on the menu!

My partner and I have been here many times over a period of ~18 months while we lived in Penge. The food here is always fantastic. As someone who lived in Japan for 3 years, I can attest to Hayaku's authentic taste and atmosphere. The owners are friendly and service has always been great. I have never had a bad experience, either eating in or ordering takeout. 100% fully recommended to anyone living in or visiting London: while I've been to other Japanese restaurants in the city, Hayaku is the best!

Excellent food and service in a warm and friendly environment. Clearly a lot of love has gone into the menu and we can definitely recommend the Kyoto platter and vegetable tempura which we enjoyed with veggie spring rolls and egg fried rice! Excellent selection of bubble tea including some flavours and combos we've never seen before— especially if you like more mature flavours! Overall properly nice 🍣

Sushi is by far my favourite food. It's hard to find good quality sushi in London for under about 50-70 pounds per person. I What most restaurants pass off as sushi is comical. However, this place, although not top grade, is literally the best sushi for the money in the city of London. Given that I've lived in London for over 20 years and eat sushi at different restaurants weekly, I feel like I am in a position to really judge. In addition to the rolls, I particularly like their salads, which are a very low calorie excellent meal, try the crab and mango, it's my favourite. I have never been disappointed with the food and since moving to Crystal Palace, I order it on delivery about 2-3x a week for lunch and or dinner as I work from home. Avoid the negative reviews, no place is perfect...there will always been incidents, but I believe this place is consistently good!

First time visiting Hayaku Sushi Cafe today - it is so good! I had a beautiful tofu katsu curry (the batter was so light and crisp) and my husband had chicken yaki udon noodles for lunch. Staff were so kind and lovely, the prices are very reasonable and we’ll be back on a warmer day to get a shave ice for sure!

Absolutely delicious every time. Really good selection for vegetarians as well. We ordered spicy edamame as a starter, yakitori chicken thighs, miso aubergine, mixed vegetable tempura, rice and tofu curry with rice. Portions are really big. It’s by far our favourite place to eat in or get takeaways from in Penge

One of the best sushi in London. I heard about this place & went very early as it's a tiny place & it gets very busy. 4 of us went & we really enjoyed the drinks & the food. Excellent presentation &delicious!! Great menu with bubble teas & desserts. Friendly family run business. Well definitely be going back to this local gem. No need to go to west end any more for sushi.
