Nazuki Garden

Nazuki Garden brings a poised take on Japanese dining to Fitzrovia, drawing guests into a gently layered journey of texture and taste.

Moving with the quiet confidence we see in every professional and passionate restaurant, the kitchen balances clean, restorative broths with smoky grills and crisp fry-work.

It begins with simple pleasures: warm edamame dusted with sea salt and crackling salmon skin crackers lifted by shichimi and seaweed. Bright salads and kimchi with sesame dressing keep things lively, before miso gives way to sakana miso, a deeper, savoury tide.

From the hush of tempura to the sizzle of the flame grill, the repertoire spans prawn and vegetable batter-light bites, teriyaki BBQ roasted pork, and grilled steak glossed with a homemade sauce. Sukiyaki brings a hot pot richness with beef, pork or lamb and vegetables; katsu arrives golden and satisfying; and buta kakuni offers soy-sweet comfort.

Sushi runs from sashimi to nigiri, while bowls of tempura prawn udon or soba, donburi and simply grilled salmon, mackerel or seabass keep the focus on clarity and umami. To finish, mille crepe cakes and a green tea mill crepe set a delicate rhythm, while mochi ice cream in chocolate, mango and strawberry keeps things playful.

A considered, comforting spread in Central London: book a table, bring an appetite, and let Nazuki Garden do the rest - chopsticks at the ready.
