Haku KitchinB+

118 Fortess Rd, London NW5 2HL · Japanese restaurant, Asian fusion restaurant, Asian restaurant · Kentish Town

Neighborhood Japanese spot for fresh sushi and comforting katsu with a light fusion twist; great at the counter, but expect occasional slow service and some inconsistency.

The verdict

Haku Kitchin delivers reliable neighborhood sushi with strong food quality anchored by fresh salmon and well-executed rolls, but inconsistent execution and service communication gaps prevent a higher grade. The charming counter setting and loyal following reflect genuine appeal, though slow service on busy nights and occasional portion complaints limit it to solid local favorite rather than destination dining.

One caveat: Service can slow down on busy nights, with mains taking notably longer for some tables
