Onami
Description
Nestled in an unassuming location, this sushi café offers a mixed dining experience that garners both praise and criticism. While some patrons rave about the delightful sushi and standout dishes like chicken katsu curry, others have encountered frustrating customer service incidents and disappointing food quality. The ambiance may not be remarkable, but the café aims to impress with reasonable prices and a commitment to quality. Despite inconsistency in service and offerings, many visitors appreciate the delicious food and warm atmosphere. Ultimately, the café remains a budding gem in the local food scene worth exploring—if you can overlook a few bumps along the way.

We made a lunch booking for 4 having researched on TA what was available in the area as we were visiting from 150 miles away. We accidentally drove past the restaurant as it looked like a small Café, we decided to try it anyway and without question had some of the best Sushi we'd ever had, and we have been to some really famous Sushi restaurants. Please don't be put off by the location and style of building just sit down and enjoy truly fantastic food and a warm welcome from the owner Fon.
Ok so the location is not so great and ok the ambience is just so so ... BUT . The food is pretty amazing . Order the lunch box ... Wait a while and wow awesome.:. Take out is also an option
Former head chef of Nobu Mayfair now runs this place. What a stroke of luck to have it at the end of my street.Onami offers a good, extensive menu which is all cooked to perfection and all the favourites are there. We can easily spend £30 on a takeaway from Onami. They operate from a rather unprepossessing cafe style small building but do NOT let this put you off.
This place is awesome, the owner is so lovely and highly skilled he makes incredible sushi, really tasty and for a reasonable price! Definitely worth a visit. You can sit inside (if you're a group of less than 4) or just order it to take away.
After being recommend by a friend, we have been going to this local Japanese restaurant for over 6 months, the Sushi is always fresh, the rolls are made to order and not stored in a fridge beforehand.If you have time, try the Tempura prawns fresh by eating in the restaurant. It is much better then takeaway as it is cooked to order.As the chef/ owner his name is Fung) used to work at some of the top Japanese restaurants in London, he will also serve some of their signature dishes, like Blackcod in miso £18 a portion instead of £45 in London) and Yellowtail with Jalapeño. For the adventurous eater, try the thin cut Octopus with dried Soy sauce crystals.We have never had a bad meal here.
