Kudasai London — Restaurant in London

Stepping into Kudasai (ください), a polite way in Japanese of saying “please give me more” one might easily forget they’re in Southwest London and instead imagine wandering an off-street in downtown Tokyo. The authenticity and ambiance of this hidden gem are that convincing. From the moment you’re greeted until the last bite, there’s an undeniable magic in the air. The sushi? Absolutely delicious. It’s evident that every dish served is a masterpiece, balancing traditional Japanese flavors with a touch of something uniquely special.

The genius behind Kudasai is Jo, a Philippine native whose culinary prowess transcends borders. His ability to craft sushi that rivals, if not surpasses, the esteemed offerings of places like Nobu, is nothing short of remarkable. And yet, the prices at Kudasai remain astonishingly reasonable—for now. A meal here offers the same upscale quality but at a fraction of the cost you’d expect elsewhere.

But Kudasai is more than just its food. It’s an experience, one that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled upon Tokyo’s best-kept secret. Compared to local favorites like Kibou and Tsunami, Kudasai stands in a league of its own, making others seem like mere grocery store takeaways.

I cannot recommend Kudasai enough. For those with a taste for exquisite sushi and a yearning for an authentic Japanese dining experience, this is the place. And to any investors reading this: Kudasai is a golden opportunity. Let’s ensure this remarkable establishment thrives in Southwest London. Jo has created something truly special, and it deserves all the...

We visited for dinner in mid-December and chose the bottomless option which was £35 per person. It starts with a hotpot in which you cook a selection of vegetables, noodles and beef, before moving onto starters, which included edamame, chicken karage, a chicken bao and gyozas, before finishing with a huge sushi plate to share. The food was all excellent, particularly the sushi and starters (the hotpot could maybe have done with more flavour) and the service was friendly and helpful, particularly as a couple of our party had food intolerances. In theory we could have ordered more, but we were all stuffed. It was just a shame the restaurant was so quiet on a Friday night, albeit just...
