Finchley’s answer to Ten Ten Tei? Not quite… Ten Ten Tei is my favourite budget Japanese restaurant in London, but that restaurant is located in the West End. Although I’ll willingly travel far and wide for a good meal, not everyone feels the same way. London is a big city after all and not everyone … Continue reading

Four Seasons review – the best roast duck in Chinatown?
The best roast duck in the UK according to The Financial Times. Exaggeration or a real gem? I loosen my belt to find out. Roast duck is one of the most well-known Chinese dishes in Britain, but the version most of us are familiar with is a crude bastardisation. The roast duck available from most … Continue reading
Hakubai review – a beautiful taste of Japan in New York

London has a large array of Japanese restaurants ranging from those that are … Continue reading
Ten Ten Tei review – The best budget Japanese in London?
Japanese restaurants in London, especially those serving sushi and sashimi, tend to be expensive. Unfortunately, the more reasonably priced ones usually aren’t very good either <cough, Yo Sushi, cough>. An exception to this rule is Ten Ten Tei, a small restaurant in Soho on Brewer Street. The place has a ramshackle, threadbare look to it. … Continue reading
Mushu review – Vegetarian Japanese in Fitzrovia?
I’m a big fan of meat, but I can respect the choice of vegetarians to avoid the bloody stuff. Two of my regular dining companions, the Prancing Hippy and the Flame Haired Squelchie, are vegetarians. Technically, the Hippy is a pescetarian as he does eat fish and other seafood – presumably they don’t deserve his … Continue reading
