🇬🇧 Chisou: London's Best Japanese Spot for Cooked Delights! 🍣🔥
📍 22-23 Woodstock St, London W1C 2AR For those who prefer their Japanese cuisine without the raw fish drama, this Mayfair izakaya delivers hearty cooked dishes with authentic flair. 🍽️ MUST-TRY DISHES 🦪 Fried Oysters Bite-sized briny-sweet explosions with crispy shells. Pro tip: Share (third one gets greasy!). 🍗 Teriyaki Chicken Crisp-skinned, juicy-centered perfection. That glaze—soy meets honey in holy matrimony! 🍤 Tempura Shrimp Roll Sadly soggy (blame the rice steam), but saved by spicy mayo dip. 🦀 Soft Shell Crab Roll Looks Instagram-worthy, tastes... fine (blame stomach capacity). 😢 Misses ❌ Sold-out uni & sweet shrimp (heartbreak!) ❌ Squid & scallop nigiri – fresh but not life-changing 💰 Damage Control ✔️ £15-25 per main ✔️ £8-12 for small plates ✨ Why We Still Love It ✔️ Cozy izakaya vibe (wooden beams, sake barrels) ✔️ Flawless teriyaki that haunts our dreams ✔️ Mayfair location = perfect pre-theatre stop 🚇 Pro Tips ✔️ Lunch sets = better value ✔️ Ask about daily specials ✔️ Skip rolls, focus on grilled/katsu items #LondonJapanese #CookedSushi #IzakayaVibes #MayfairEats #TeriyakiLove #ComfortFood #UKFoodie #NoSashimiNoProblem
