The 25 Best Restaurants In London - London - The Infatuation
"Himi is minimalist in design, but far from it in flavour and atmosphere. It’s got a Soho-cool edge, with a soundtrack of clinking half-pints and matcha-infused martinis, and Nas playing in the background as the chef hands out incredible temaki ōtoro warayaki. But it's softened by a warm, welcoming energy, partly thanks to Tamas and Tomoko, the husband and wife chef team who’ll chat with you from behind the bustling counter where prawns are grilled and meat is blowtorched an outstretched arm away. Everything hits here: light tempura scallop, tender, juicy charcoal-grilled red shrimp, and thick noodles in a hearty broth. The nigiri is top-tier—the rice is vinegared and warm, and seasoned with the perfect amount of soy sauce and wasabi before being topped with a melting cut of squid, tuna, or yellowtail." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
