Nori

The 11 Best Restaurants In New Malden - London - The Infatuation

"When you get to Nori’s address, you might be confused. The entrance is in an alleyway off the high street and you’ll walk in to find an ornate bench and a staircase, but little sign of a great Japanese restaurant. But trust us, up those stairs you’ll find fantastic udon. The sushi is satisfying, if a little slap-dash, but the hot and cold noodle dishes and delicately fried tempura are the things to get. It doesn’t hurt that the intimate dining room is packed full of bamboo and has enough charm to make it perfect for date night. Planning a family meal? Reserve one of the private dining spaces behind the chic shoji partitions." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager, sinead cranna
