Just wow. I’m admittedly highly critical of a lot of the food I’ve had since relocating to the UK from the States, but I could find no fault in Akasaka Wolverine. Booked for 6:30 PM on a Saturday. Cozy and quiet, looked like a date night for most of us except for the family that sat next to us. Service was prompt at first but I feared it began to lag a bit until we received our first courses. I have to say there was no real discernible order to our food when it arrived. At first I was a bit annoyed, then I realized the chef was preparing our food in such a way as it was fresh. We ordered: spicy tuna roll, salmon roll, yakitori skewers, miso soup, edamame, and beef bulgogi. The hot dishes arrived sizzling hot and full of flavor. The sushi was fresh and lovely, the edamame was, well, edamame. The beef bulgogi came on a bed or rice and pepper slices and was the best I’ve had. One of the best dinners we e had in the past few years. Get...
Read moreAn excellent venue! Truly delightful, ticking all the boxes. Wonderful food, friendly helpful staff, all at a great price. 2 of us with drinks spent under £60 and had several dishes each. Servers were super friendly and helpful, I've missed service like this. But the food. Delightful! I will admit, my first sushi post lockdown (1-3) but, this really was of a great standard. Tuna belly sashimi, spicy California roll, tuna rolls, endamame, Tori Karaage and a beef yaki soba. Where to start...? The noodles in yaki Siva were excellent, not overcooked with a little bite to them. Loads of veggies and generous with the beef strips in there too. The sushi rolls were really good, fresh, a little bit of chew but just holding the fresh delicate fish inside. The tuna sashimi was fresh, soft melt in the mouth morsels that disappeared too soon. Yes I'm going back, yes I'll recommend it and I'll order more next time as...
Read moreThis is an amazing place to go. It's very small, so huge groups would need a large couple of tables together to fit. There staff go above and beyond and are well deserving of tips. There is a great selection of japenese foods, such as my favorite, onigiri. You order normally (not like the conveyor belt of places like yo! Sushi), paying at the end. The food is more expensive than what you might expect, even if you have been to places such as yo! Sushi before, but the quality is there highest I've found for fresh sushi and other Japanese dishes. Alcohol is served here too. You can split bills between anything and anyone, so the prices are easy to work out, and drink prices are nothing other than normal. The food will arrive in good time, be presented beautifully and taste amazing. I would eat here everyday...
