Nestled just a short stroll from Hampstead Heath at 9 South End Road, NW3 2PT, Mitsuryu is a Japanese dining spot that blends quality, authenticity and value in one inviting package. Popular dishes include classics like chicken katsu curry, teriyaki salmon and inventive sushi rolls. Mitsuryu strikes a nice balance: it’s more polished than a typical fast casual sushi spot, but less formal (and much more affordable) than luxury omakase-only venues. If you’re looking for Japanese cuisine in Hampstead that covers both sushi lovers and fans of comforting hot dishes, we deliver and offer takeaway. The proximity to the Heath makes it a good option either for a pre-walk meal or a relaxed dinner after an outing.

At FAN, Coco continues this legacy. FAN's culinary philosophy keeps umami as its backbone, while exploring the immense potential of mixing cultures, flavours, and techniques. Execution and balance remain central to every dish.However, FAN's richness does not stop there: the restaurant was founded by Coco together with his childhood friends Romina and Santiago, both of Cantonese descent. As a result, FAN is not only Japanese-Peruvian, its also Cantonese, French, Spanish, and, most importantly, constantly evolving.For us, FAN is about celebrating the beauty of cultural exchange, learning from others, and discovering ever new ways of embodying Umami.This is what we call Neo-Nikkei cuisine.

    Lovely staff who looked after us very attentively but without fuss. All food brought out quickly. We have just come back from Japan and have eaten a lot of sushi and Sashimi- and let me tell you this sashimi was high grade, fresh and tasty! The dragon rolls were excellent too. We also had a couple of cocktails- expertly made and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was great too- our daughter's birthday and it was fun and lovely without being loud. Honestly can't RECOMMEND enough. Thank you!
