"Apart from being a very common male and female name in Japan, Makoto also means ‘sincerity’ or ‘truth’. The sushi and sashimi served at Sushi Bar Makoto are certainly a true taste of Japan, nestled away in Turnham Green. A girl I’m dating is a fan of the restaurant and she was excited for me to try their food. The sushi bar was closed to visitors because of Lockdown 2.0 so we ordered our food to be delivered to her place via Deliveroo one Saturday night in November. We chose the salmon combo, which consists of two pieces salmon nigiri, six pieces salmon roll, and three pieces salmon sashimi. We also had the spicy tuna inside-out roll (uramaki and a side of edamame beans. When researching this review, I was surprised to learn that salmon has only been used as an ingredient in sushi since the 1980s and was introduced by a Danish businessman (one of the only Western sushi variations that has been adopted in Japan . It’s hard to believe the Japanese didn’t include salmon before this because it is so delicious when served as an ingredient in sushi. For those unfamiliar with sushi, salmon nigiri comprises an oblong of vinegared rice with a slice of salmon draped over it. Salmon rolls are wheels of rice with salmon and spring onion stuffed in the centre, contained in an outer wrapper of nori (seaweed . The spicy tuna rolls look similar to the salmon rolls, however the rice is on the outside and the nori is wrapped around the tuna and vegetables in the centre. Lastly, salmon sashimi (which, strictly speaking, is not sushi is simply thickly cut pieces of raw salmon. It’s all very good. The fish in each of the dishes was really fresh and full of flavour. Fat grains of white rice are used and the vinegar used to hold the rice together gives it a lovely, slightly sour flavour, while also being satisfyingly sticky and starchy. I adore salmon so, for me, my favourites were the salmon nigiri and salmon sashimi. Our food came with several knobs of wasabi, which I enjoyed smearing on the salmon rolls and tuna rolls to give them some extra heat, and we got four sachets of soy sauce that I used to dunk my nigiri in. (If you’re like me and enjoy lots of soy sauce, I’d recommend having a bottle on standby because four sachets wasn’t really enough for two of us. We got a pretty generous portion of edamame and it’s always fun to bite the beans straight out of the pod to eat. The sushi was attractively presented in boxes with clear lids to show off the neatly prepared and colourful contents, and was even more beautiful eaten nyotaimori-style. Our food took about half an hour to arrive, was reasonably priced and was surprisingly filling. Chopsticks are provided if you’re feeling adventurous, or do like the Japanese do and simply eat it with your fingers. Sushi Bar Makoto is a hidden gem in west London and one you should truly try."

This Japanese sushi restaurant offers excellent value for money with high-quality food. The tuna rolls, eel on rice, and spinach were all delicious. Don't miss out on the hot sake with your dinner.

This is my favourite sushi place in London! The quality of the fish is top notch! They do lunch sets (makimono lunch etc) and they are quite cheap. Dinner is a bit more expensive but not that crazy.

A small and unpretentious Japanese restaurant whose menu goes beyond sushi. It also sells food to take away. I have eaten here several times and been impressed by the authenticity and value for money. View menu

Ok it was a takeout, but what a great takeaway! Fresh tuna, salmon and bass nice and thickly cut for sashimi, lovely miso and extra rice. So much better value than a Yo sushi as an example just no comparison

I loved this pretty restaurant. The staff was very kind and always happy to help and the food was lovely. Simple but authentic and very well presented. The place is clean and the spot is very convenient for those stopping at Turnham Green.

I go here all the time either with my partner or solo. Fantastic service, lovely recent refurb, and the food is beyond excellent. Thoroughly recommend, especially for a quick lunch. If you’re there for dinner, invest in the bento pricey but worth it. View menu

The food at this restaurant is excellent. They are very generous with their portions, and they offer delicious fatty tuna (toro) which is not often found in typical sushi restaurants in London. The service is efficient, and the majority of the customers are Japanese.

We visited this restaurant for lunch and noticed they offered lunch sets. Initially, we thought the prices were a bit high compared to other restaurants like Eat Tokyo, but we decided to give it a try. It was definitely worth it. I ordered the sushi and sashimi lunch set and it was incredibly good value. This was the first time I had sashimi slices that were an inch thick (and I have been to Japan many times), and they were extremely fresh. The lunch sets also come with miso soup and a salad. My partner ordered the uni don and it was very authentic, unlike some places where it tastes like it came from a package. The portions were huge and we would rate our experience a 10/10!
