Riverside Kawa Pan Asian Restaurant

You're walking along River Gardens Walk in Greenwich, and suddenly you've stumbled into somewhere that feels properly special. Riverside Kawa sits right on the water, which means you get that rare London thing: a meal with actual views that aren't marred by scaffolding. The sushi here doesn't mess about—the fish tastes like it arrived yesterday, the rice is properly seasoned, and they're not trying to reinvent the wheel with some ridiculous fusion nonsense. The pan-Asian menu keeps things interesting beyond just sashimi, so there's something for everyone, whether you're a purist or after something with a bit more going on. It's the kind of place locals in Greenwich have already claimed as their own.
