Customer Review Summary
Diners consistently return for the sushi itself, with several singling out the crunchy tuna roll and creamy scallop as standouts, alongside the tempura roll, inari sushi, and the yellowtail with jalapeño and black cod with miso from a set anniversary menu. Deep fried squid tentacles and chicken gyoza also draw praise. Friendly, attentive service comes up repeatedly, including quick turnarounds for diners heading to a concert nearby, and the calm, clean dining room is noted more than once. One recent visitor, however, describes a decline since a change in ownership, calling the rolls unremarkable and the wasabi flat, and saying the food didn't match the quality remembered from years before. Cocktails, including a margarita with a twist, and combination sushi and sashimi platters also get mentioned favorably. Several reviewers say they keep coming back, with one describing it as a go to spot whenever visiting London again.

“Not the quality I used to remember, we came here for dinner years ago and today we decided to come back. I believe the ownership has changed otherwise I don’t see why the experience was so different this time. First of all we couldn’t see any Japanese person in the venue ( which I remember was the majority last time), food was nothing special, we took four rolls, one special and three regular but they had nothing special in term of taste, we ate better in sushi chain to be honest, there was no point to spend more money and come from west London for this average food. Wasabi also wasn’t spicy at all, my husband litterally had half of it in his mouth to prove me it wasn’t spicy. We won’t come back, such a shame!”

“Our favourite sushi restaurant ever. The crunchy tuna roll is legendary! Creamy scallop is amazing too! Unfortunately we have moved away from London and haven't been able to find sushi like this anywhere else.... We always eat at Pham when we come back to visit London.”

“We were looking for a restaurant near Barbican centre where has AC for the hot day for lunch with babies and what a surprise! We found this gem just around the corner. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The dining environment was calm and pleasant- no loud music at all. And the restaurant also has baby changing facilities! Sushi was tasty and we will definitely come back again . Highly recommend. Thank you!”
