Sapporo Ichiban London Reviews


Catford's redeeming feature - Nestled amid a hundred fried chicken shops lies Catford's redeeming feature - and what a breath of fresh air. Ignore the piles of kitsch in the front window (complete with small Koi pond) - beyond that lies a simple white interior decorated with hanging traditional kimonos.

You can choose to sit at the counter, or Japanese-style at sunken tables, or at western style tables. As is typical with Japanese restaurants, cooking and preparation is all done in full view.

The service can be a bit haphazard but the staff are lovely and one cannot fault the food, which is very well made, served in large portions, and very low priced. As well as sushi, tempura, bento boxes, curries, kimchee and so on, the restaurant has some interesting signature dishes: the "Catford rolls" or "sushi pizza" (not a pizza at all - sashimi salmon on a hot, crunchy bed of fried sushi rice) - all comes highly recommended.

The restaurant gets busy at lunchtimes and evenings, but you can usually find space.
