Kata Japanese Kitchen

I've never liked sushi. Tried it a few times from supermarkets, restaurants in West London and a few others. My experience at this place has changed that. Defne the waitress made sure we had an excellent meal, advising us what to have (even the eel), ensuring we both had time to consider our choices, then brought food to our table without delay. She even thought ahead to bring us the necessary utensils to help us share the food we ordered - sharing a burger is messy without a sharp knife cutting it down the middle etc. Such waitressing skills may sound unsurprising, but sadly they are rarely seen to Defne's standard of attitude, ambiance and professionalism. As well as the superior service, the food was really excellent too and has changed what I look for in a sushi restaurant. Well, I probably won't go anywhere else for sushi, I suppose.

I have been ordering takeaways from this place a lot! Poke bowls are amazing, this is definitely my favourite place for poke, I tried a couple of other ones in the area, nothing is even as remotely as good as Kata Kitchen. Rolls, rice, etc, all really good. I discovered this place being incredibly food poisoned at home trying to find some place that delivers chicken broth (it was really the only thing that would do at that point, walking to the shop was out for me too) and ordered a bunch of those. When I am sick, chicken broth from Kata Kitchen does the trick. Please don't remove this item from the menu, it is a life saver, honestly! What could be better is packing, sometimes liquids end up in a bag and it is not great. Edamame has been not so fresh recently.
