Kirin Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in London

Been looking forward to trying out this new place in the neighbourhood and was excited about trying Japanese cuisine for the first time. Arrived and it was empty, always a bad sign. Sat down and was greeted by the waiter. He seemed nervous thing he was new. Didn’t know the menu and couldn’t explain what anything was. But he got the senior waiter to help. Who was slightly arrogant and said just look at the pictures, then helped with a heavy heart like he had something better to do. The place was empty. He suggested the bento box and some sushi items and we ordered chicken fried rice and tempura prawns. Prawns were nice. The food was presented well and looked good. Rice was bland and very basic. The sushi was okay. The Bento box was really bad. The vegetables were not fresh and they tasted old and rubbery. Now I can relate to why it is always empty when I pass by. Very expensive for food and service are which are...

First time eating here since of the discount, but after this I am most likely going to come here again. The prices are what you expect from a sushi place, but the quality was really amazing. Tasted really fresh and the presentation was really pretty, especially for the sashimi. Don’t get me started on the interior design, it’s so pretty. they didn’t have to go off so hard with the design but they did, love the sakura and old fashion japanese art on the wall 🤗🤗🤗. Service was really nice and the staffs are friendly. if you want to eat sushi and you are nearby i recommend this place! 🗣️

also don’t be dishearten by the fact there’s not a lot of people in the picture of the place, it just opened recently so cut it some slack off that part. every place starts...

We had a great time at this excellent restaurant.

From the moment you step through the door, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility and elegance, setting the stage for an extraordinary dining experience. Prawn tempura, chicken udon and teppanyaki are highly recommended. The menu had many options including halal and vegetarian dishes. All the food was extremely fresh and delicious.

Michael was outstanding, ensuring everything was upto the mark - service and food - as we were celebrating a birthday. Really glad we discovered this Japanese wonder, and will be back soon to try...
