The kitchen shuts from 2.30 to 5.30 six days a week, and all Sunday until five.1
Why go
The Hammersmith branch leads its own page on chirashi, the scattered bowl of rice with fish and vegetables through it, and runs unagi, sashimi and nigiri alongside.1 It is one of a small London group; the operator names Covent Garden, Golders Green and Soho as the others, while Time Out names Notting Hill and Holborn instead, so treat the roster as unsettled.
Order this / avoid
- Order: the chirashi, which is what the branch itself puts first.
- Avoid: the afternoon gap. Lunch stops at 2.30pm and dinner does not start until 5.30pm, and Sunday is dinner only.
Good to know
- Where: 169 King Street W6 9JT, on the Hammersmith stretch.
- Hours: Monday to Saturday 11.30am to 2.30pm and 5.30pm to 11.30pm, Sunday 5pm to 11pm.1
- Booking: taken through the operator's site.
Verdict
listed — The Hammersmith room of a small Japanese chain, leading its own page on chirashi and running unagi, sashimi and nigiri alongside. The thing worth knowing before you go is the clock: it closes between 2.30pm and 5.30pm from Monday to Saturday and does not open at all before 5pm on a Sunday. It sits on the bottom rung because nothing read this pass carries a critic's line about this branch, and the operator and Time Out do not even agree on how many branches there are.
