We walked in without a reservation and without knowing anything about the restaurant, other than it looked welcoming from the window. But we were really impressed by the quality of the cuisine. The sushi and sashimi are great value given the high quality, and the...hotpot nabe dishes are also very good. The sake list is simple and well explained, making it easy to navigate. You can really feel the care that goes into the entire menu, and the pottery for sale is also very nice. A true gem, hidden in plain sight. We will definitely be coming back.More

we love Zen Mondo, beautiful food, great value, charming staff and owner, excellent sized portions, the food is really superb. And the ceramics are fab!

Didn’t really see what the fuss was about. Nice ceramics but the sashimi platter didn’t taste the freshest and the gyoza with mash purée was odd. I think there are better Japanese restaurants in the city.

We've been coming to Zen Mondo for years - it's always fresh and delicious with a great selection of authentic hot and cold Japanese dishes. Highly recommend!

The restaurant is very charming and the food is outstanding. I still dream about that braised pork belly. The sushi was delicious and the owner creates her own pottery, which btw are gorgeous. Visit this place if you like real Japanese food

Managed to get a last minute reservation on a Saturday, and so pleased we did. The double prawn tempura roll was knock out, and the salmon sashimi incredibly fresh. If you’re looking for loads of the latter, opt for the chirashi - such a generous...portion. Middle of the road price wise but quality ingredients and big servings make it totally worth it. No spirits on site, just wine, beer and sake. Highly recommend!More

Authentic, tasty experience in a cute little place. Sushi took a while to come which implies it was being rolled to order rather than having been sat around all day

I have discovered this restaurant quite randomly but luck was with me this day because I was positively surprised. Since then I came back to this restaurant on every opportunity that I could and even though it’s quite pricey, it is in my opinion worth...every penny. The atmosphere is good, the staff is warm and welcoming and this is without talking about the food by which you can never be disappointed. I have stayed one year in London during which I have tried many restaurants, but this one is without any doubt my favourite Japanese restaurants and one my favourite restaurant in the whole city.More

I love hand cones - temaki - and these were among the best I've had. Not only was there a really good range, from snow crab to spicy tuna to eel, they were well made and perfect for dipping. They were also BIG. I had...two and was stuffed. Great value for money and NOT overloaded with rice. Partner had the Udon and found it both hearty and tasty. Great range of sakes as well ... and in a world of way too many chain sushi stores with industrially prepared sushi - this was a delight. Oh, and the great presentation on lovely ceramics. A lovely lunch.More

I asked that person if shabushabu is enough for two people. They said its a lot. but it was just so little for 28 pounds. I dont think this area could that this pricy

Came back here a few nights ago and still love their set dinner with two desserts! Awesome meal and service and love their own pottery ware where no two are the same!

This is my favourite Japanese restaurant in London! I am Japanese and this restaurant serves real Japanese foods in reasonable price. I am confident to take my friends (Japanese and non Japanese) here . ロンドンでお気に入りの日本食レストランです。よくあるなんちゃって日本食では無く、ダシのきいたお料理がこだわりの器に綺麗に盛られて出て来ます。このレベルでこのお値段はかなりリーズナブルだと思います。
