Atari-Ya Swiss Cottage: The best toro in London? | London Eater

Review analysis
food   staff   menu   value   ambience  

Atari-Ya are primarily fishmongers who specialise in importing sashimi-grade fish and are said to supply some of the highest profile Japanese restaurants in London, including Umu and Nobu.

As expected, the menu is about as utilitarian as they come, run-of-the-mill sushi and sashimi choices form one page, the next are a selection of grilled/pan-fried meat, vegetables and fish (including fried and breaded pork (tonkatsu) as well as oysters).

Not to labour a topic which deserves a separate discussion altogether, but for now, a NY Times piece on freezing fish inside sushi restaurants[7.

NY Times article on freezing fish in sushi restaurants.]

I’m not actually sure if any restaurants in London use Japanese Koshihikari, I suspect the higher end restaurants do, Umu or Zuma perhaps, since rice is such an integral part of great sushi.

Restaurant Review: Shikumen Aldgate | First Scoop

Review analysis
ambience   food  

The concept Shikumen is a word originally used to describe architecture influenced by both Western and Chinese style.

Shikumen, the restaurant, promises to use the best elements of the West East to create the finest Chinese dishes possible by carefully sourcing the highest quality ingredients possible and pairing them with the best British produce.

Since opening their first restaurant in 2014 at the Dorsett Hotel in Shepherd’s Bush Green, they have received raving food critic reviews and a Michelin Bib Gourmand award.

The setting Tucked away on the first floor of the Dorsett City Hotel on Aldgate High Street, we were surprised to see how large and spacious the restaurant was with floor to ceiling windows and plenty of seating options.

Restaurant Review: Mei Ume at Ten Trinity Square | Elite Traveler

Review analysis
ambience   menu   food   staff   drinks  

On arriving at Mei Ume in the recently opened Four Seasons London at Ten Trinity Square, the space immediately leaves an impression, exhibiting both architectural grandeur and accomplished contemporary design reflecting the restaurant’s Asian influence.

Taking its name from the Chinese and Japanese terms for plum blossom, Mei Ume brings the two nation’s distinct cuisines together with creative flair and culinary finesse.

Head chef Tony Truong, formerly of the restaurant Royal China, brings Cantonese inspired plates to the menu, while sushi chef Mun Seok Choi, who came over from Sake no Hana, exhibits his skills at the live sushi bar, and chef Derrick Chen, who previously worked at Hakkasan and Yauatcha, takes responsibility for the restaurant’s creative dim sum.

Here, authentic Chinese and Japanese dishes are created with a modern approach, from small plates such as Shanghai braised pork ribs to larger courses such as stir fried Dover sole with lemongrass and chili.

The restaurant’s wine list is curated by wine director Jan Konetzki, with an extensive choice of sake on the menu too, but dishes can also be complemented by cocktails that are inspired by the four elements of Chinese astronomy: the black turtle of the north, vermilion bird of the south, azure dragon of the east and white tiger of the west.

Lorne, London: restaurant review - olive magazine

Review analysis
food  

Until recently, Victoria has been a barren corner of London when it comes to restaurants, with battling through a swarm of tourists to a Pret sandwich your best chance of getting a decent meal.

Lorne serves seasonal, modern British food in a relaxed, pared-back setting with natural woods, plenty of greenery and marble-topped tables that gave us serious interiors envy.

Tuck into freshly-baked sourdough with rich, peppery olive oil made on one of the sommelier’s family farm in Sicily while you contemplate the menu.

Enticing roscoff onion tart served with corn-fed chicken, cauliflower and new-season ‘wet’ garlic however, was underwhelming, with acidic onions fighting against rich but slightly soggy pastry.

There’s nothing ground-breaking happening at Lorne, but with solid cooking, great flavours and an impressive, adventurous wine list, this is the kind of neighbourhood restaurant that’s worth escaping the crowds for.

Fay Maschler reviews Sosharu: Jason Atherton's empire turns ...

Vince has generously outbid anyone else in the Evening Standard Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity Auction to have a meal with me on the job.

— he also made the top offer benefiting Great Ormond Street Hospital for a meal out with Tracey MacLeod, talent agent, TV presenter, MasterChef judge and until recently restaurant critic of The Independent.

Izakaya, often likened to a Japanese version of a gastropub, is how the publicity announces this Clerkenwell venture, described as a collaboration between Atherton, his wife Irha and executive chef Alex Craciun, previously sous-chef at Pollen Street Social.

The menu divides into 11 savoury sections with items priced in a way that the four or five dishes each suggested by our waitress gallop onto a bill that is at odds with the notion of unceremonious eating and drinking.

Miyazaki wagyu tataki — a handful of seared beef cubes — with turnip and radish kinpira, a sort of quick pickle, served with scoops made from deep-fried kale is another ingenious assembly I recommend if the £19 price doesn’t offend.

Roka 37 Charlotte Street, London W1(020 7580 6464) Lunch for two, including sake and service, about £100 When I find something delicious to eat in a restaurant, I tend to stick to it.

At La Famiglia, on the King's Road, I regularly switch between aubergine parmigiana and the prawn salad with white beans to begin with, yet can never stick to a principal dish.

My initial visit to what I now think of as 'my wonderful little world of Roka' consisted of just the two dishes: ko nasu (aubergine in mirin, ginger and soy) and kani no kama tobiko (rice hotpot with king crab and wasabi tobiko - or green flying fish roe to us gweilos).

Oxymoronic it may be, but an accurate description of the great beauty that is the Roka rice hotpot with king crab would be along the lines of 'Asian risotto'.

Roka uses the long, thin-skinned, pale-purple aubergines and - since I have tried to cook it at home using the regular black ones, and failed - these are clearly essential to the success of the dish.

Sosharu: restaurant review | Jay Rayner | Life and style | The Guardian

Review analysis

Think of it instead as the sort of all-embracing, utterly self-aware Japanese restaurant you would find in Los Angeles, transported here to London’s Clerkenwell.

We ignore the sashimi; there are so many other places in London for that.

We finish with a syrup-drenched sponge beneath an aerated pillow of cream, hiding a soft chocolate ganache along with a sweet soy caramel sauce and a green tea-flavoured crêpe cake.

■ Like Sosharu, Nanban in Brixton is a Japanese restaurant run by a chef from elsewhere.

At Nanban he brings his nerdy fascination to a repertoire of Japanese soul food – not a bit of sushi in sight – focusing on gutsy bowls of ramen (nanban.co.uk).
