This place is amazing, I still can't believe it took me a year of living in Finsbury Park before I visited. The prawn bibimbap, bbq beef and all of the sushi I have sampled have all been wonderful. The sushi is so fresh (note: it tends to come out after the rest of the food). If you're not sure what to have, the Japanese & Korean Set menu A for 2 is delicious and great value at £26. The seating is quite cramped but you hardly notice once you start eating....and I think the place has a warm atmosphere. The staff are incredibly hard working and not at all unfriendly. You need to book a good few days in advance to get a table.

Food is amazing and worth the price, Cozy place, very warm service. Early booking is highly recommended :-)

Ordered some food takeaway did not check when I collected it: food wrong inside the bag! Bad service!

Awful. Booked a table for myself and two guests- arrived 5 minutes early and they'd already given it to someone else. Ruined evening, terrible service.

VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been here many times and food is wonderful. However I did book a table three days in advance for Saturday night at 20:30 and when I got there at 20:28 they already give my already book table to someone else and they ask me if I can go somewhere and come back at 21:10. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!! No point in booking.

I've been here many times and would have gone even more were it not for the queues. The food is wonderful, so flavoursome and fresh. I love the marinaded beef bibimbap so much it's hard to pick other items, but everything I've eaten there is delicious. I've never found the service to be a problem. The staff are running around and you have to catch their attention, but they are friendly and polite and the wait for food has never seemed unreasonable. Go at lunchtime and you might not even have to book.

Best Japanese restaurant so far.We really recommend it.It is just lovely.We tried almost everything on menu and never was disappointed.Me and my boyfriend are both chefs so......Enjoy!!

The food here is seriously good. I am going to try and eat here again tonight, but it will probably be fully booked. Agree with comments below on service.. They simply don't have the space or manpower to cater to everyone, but if you get a table the food more than makes up for it. Seriously - who gives a crap about the service if your food arrives on time and its cheap and amazing?! I don't go to a restaurant to speak to waiting staff.. In a sea of chicken shops, this is easily Finsbury Parks best restaurant (by a country mile). Try seasons too - another great restaurant nearby.

Really good food for a really good price, the service was friendly. Could not ask for more in a local restaurant. Will definitely be back again. Just a word of warning... book in advance, we went on a Tuesday night and there was still a big queue past 9:00 pm.
