About Nippon Izakaya

Nippon Izakaya is a sushi restaurant on High Rd in North Finchley, London, where izakaya dishes sit alongside sushi such as the Dragon Roll. Lunch specials run every weekday, including bento boxes with tempura or teriyaki. Prawn tempura and miso soup are available as sides, so a meal can be built up from small plates. Dessert comes as mille crêpe cakes in tiramisu and pistachio, which gives the menu a sweet finish alongside the savoury dishes. The restaurant is open daily, and Japanese tea is served with meals.

Customer Review Summary

Sushi draws the most praise at this North Finchley izakaya, with reviewers calling it fresh, buttery soft and nicely presented, and one singling out the Dragon Roll. Close behind are the sides and hot dishes: miso soup and prawn tempura, Japanese fried chicken, katsu curry and omu rice. Weekday lunch specials, including bento boxes, donburi and ramen, are described as good value, and one diner praises the tiramisu and pistachio mille crêpe cakes. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly, and one family notes how they look after their children. The main complaint is cost. One reviewer finds the sushi somewhat overpriced compared with similar places, and another calls drink prices very high, citing a small water. One adds that parking nearby is very difficult, and one suggests tipping since the bill carries no service charge. One group waiting outside for a late friend was invited in and had a table held during a busy dinner service.

    “A hidden gem in Finchley!!! The quality of the sushi and everything is top level. The details of the presentation of the plates are amazing. We drive 1hr to come and eat at this restaurant. Very worth it !!!”

    “Amazing amazing food and staff are so friendly! We’re locals who will definitely keep coming back. 10/10 fresh ingredients and the sushi is so buttery soft & the ratio of everything is just perfect. Their side dishes are all so fresh and tasty - I’d get the miso soup and prawn tempura again and again!!!”

    “First time ordering from here and I’m really impressed. I got the Dragon Roll and the Japanese chicken takeaway, both were absolutely delicious and tasted really fresh. The quality was great, portions were good, and everything was nicely prepared. Will definitely be coming back again!”

    “Food here is really good and well made. The waiters are incredibly sweet, and knows their menus. They are great with recommendations and smiling. All sushi were great, however somewhat overpriced, when compared to similar places, with good quality sushi. Note that the bill doesn't have a service charge, so remember to tip your waiter. 😉”
