Nagoya London

You're in Canary Wharf but it doesn't feel like Canary Wharf, which is already a win. Nagoya pulls off that tricky thing of being both neighbourhood-feeling and properly accomplished, with a menu that respects Japanese traditions without getting precious about it. The sushi counter is where you want to be—watch the chefs work while you order omakase or pick individual pieces that actually taste like something. Beyond the raw stuff, their robata grill does proper work with seasonal fish and vegetables, and the kitchen handles everything from yakitori to richer mains with real technique. It's busy enough to feel like somewhere people genuinely want to eat, but never feels chaotic or rushed.
