With adventurous foods ranging from sweet chicken wings to slices of rare duck, you are guaranteed to get an unusual, but extremely tasty Japanese meal.

The food is absolutely incredible, everything from the exquisite Japanese style canapes to the flawless sashimi slices. Be sure to make Nobu one of your premier London sources for Japanese food. Even though it's hard on the pocketbook, it's definitely worth it!

Visit Roka on Charlotte Street! This glamorous sushi joint is the perfect place to have dinner with a group of good friends. Although the menu is on the more expensive side, it's worth it because of the relaxed, pleasant atmosphere and phenomenal sushi menu. Don't forget to try the soft shell crab. You definitely will not regret it!
