This is my local, and favourite(!) sushi bar. It is small and unassuming, but serves the most delicious and authentic sushi. The menu is limited (you won't find a lot of hot food), but that is true to sushi bars in Japan.
All sushi is hand made to order, presented beautifully, and most importantly taste amazing. Fresh, clean, with just the right amount of wasabi. A must for sushi lovers! -

This is a quiet stretch of Ealing just before the Broadway and where I found myself meeting friends for dinner.
It's a light and bright restaurant with a sushi bar and then bar and table seating. The main kitchen is situated on another floor. Not a very beautiful place. But I already felt like it would be an authentic experience.
The menu is quite big with specials and a separate specials board. We tried a lot of things. Of my items, I really enjoyed the salmon sashimi, yellowtail sashimi, chicken karaage and the salmon sushi plate. The fried oysters were good, if smaller than I expected and the tuna sashimi and seafood dumplings were not enjoyed.
My friends enjoyed their soba noodles, chicken teriyaki, sushi, mackerel sashimi (particularly good) and tempura.
Desserts were moochi and ice-cream. This was particularly good, especially the sesame. I pounced on the green tea mousse as I was told it was the last one.
This was a joy, huge portion and more a dense set mousse. It was silky smooth, rich, bitter from matcha, absolutely delicious and so incredibly rich. So rich, I couldn't finish it and they kindly gave me a take-away container (who takes away dessert??? :) )
This was the general vibe of the service, sweet, friendly, accommodating, speedy and able. Even the sushi chefs smiled over at us!
The restaurant itself was quite busy for a Wednesday night, takeaway and eat-in customers alike. Including Japanese and regulars. The service didn't dwindle at any point.
The bill came to £128 for 3 hungry girls so it's too expensive for an every day dinner but a great place nevertheless. 4.5 stars -

Excellent food. Friendly service. Happy clientele. This is a thin slice of Japan hidden in plain sight. Don't be afraid to speak with the chef or waitstaff, because they'll treat you like a friend and make sure you're welcome and happy.
I had the tonkatsu and thought I was in Kyoto, so yeah, it's good. I'll be back for sashimi and some more conversation on my next visit. -

Overall this place offers very good sushi. The fish is fresh and cold, the rice is sticky and warm. Medium fatty tuna nigiri was incredible, though variable in size: everything is clearly handmade to order, but not the flawless work of a master. Tofu agedashi was surprisingly, impressively, crispy and rich.
The decor leaves much to be desired, which is more kebab shop than sushi bar. The furniture feels cheap, the lighting is harsh, and our meal was accompanied by Heart FM's club classics. -

A fine facsimile of a low key Tokyo sushi bar - expect reliably good, clean sushi without the show, pizzazz, and price of central London (it is better for it). The J-Pop soundtrack can be a bit intense though!
