Make sure to book if you'd like to get a spot at one of their two tatami mat tables in the window! View all feedback. What Roger Peltier doesn't like about Nippon Inn:

Food was amazing. Very polite staff. Received our food very quickly. Got cute origami figures with our cheque.

Nippon Inn, a charming gem tucked away in Charminster, offers a truly authentic Japanese dining experience. Despite its unassuming exterior, this restaurant boasts a dedicated manager and a warm, homey atmosphere. The cuisine is fresh, flavorful, and reminiscent of traditional Japanese cooking, far exceeding the standards of chain restaurants.
