"Stunning Japanese restaurant close to South Kensington tube station. The owner is Japanese and they are known for importing ingredients and distributing them to other Japanese restaurants in London so have the best knowledge and understanding of Japanese cuisine. That being said, the menu here is a contemporary take on Japanese food but you can also find classic sushi (both nigiri and sashimi alongside more ‘fun’ dishes like ‘miso cappuccino’ (miso soup with a foam in a stylish teacup and matcha tiramisu for dessert. I love the wagyu rolls as well Compared to their other location just off High Street Kensington (Argyll road I believe? , the atmosphere at Yashin Ocean house is a little livelier and works for both dates or events like a birthday or company party. They also have a very nice bar on one side of the restaurant and a great selection of sake and Japanese whisky’s like the Hibiki brand. My only complaint is not a complaint but a suggestion unless you know this place exists, you would never guess it is a restaurant inside this beautiful heritage building they need a more obvious sign outside otherwise I would have walked past thinking it is a private house or small museum. The interiors inside are a mix of contemporary like exposed brick walls whilst keeping some of the elements of the Victorian building. A very quirky and cool place!"
