Takumi

Takumi London sits on Old Compton Street in Soho and serves traditional Japanese food. The kitchen covers yakitori skewers, fresh sushi, and classic rice and noodle dishes, with each plate prepared to show off the flavours rather than dress them up.

You can sit at the robata bar and watch the chefs work, or take a quieter table if you would rather a more relaxed meal. It is worth booking ahead, as seats fill up. For those who already know Japanese cuisine well and for newcomers alike, Takumi is a solid spot for an evening out in Soho.
