🇬🇧 Donabe: Waterloo's Newest Japanese Gem by Ex-Hannah Team 🍚✨
Just tried Donabe - the hot new clay-pot rice spot from the brains behind Hannah, and wow, it delivers! Tucked near the London Eye with zero signage (look for Kitchen India), this minimalist haven serves next-level comfort food. 🍽️ Must-Order Hits 🍤 Prawn Tempura Paper-thin crisp with bouncy shrimp - dip in tentsuyu to cut the richness. 🥘 A5 Wagyu Sukiyaki Rice Marbled beef + sauce-soaked rice = umami bomb (don’t over-steam the egg!). 🐔 Oyako Don Silky egg & tender chicken - best ££ value on the menu. 🍨 Black Tea Ice Cream Not too sweet, with deep roasted-tea notes - perfect palate cleanser. 💡 Pro Tips • Portions are just right (1 pot = 1.5 people) • Book ahead - only 20 seats! • Black cod is a sleeper hit (but tiny portion) 📍 County Hall, SE1 7PB ⏰ Dinner-only vibe (perfect post-London Eye stop) #LondonJapanese #ClayPotMagic #WaterlooEats #HiddenGems
