Japanese @ Misato, Chinatown (London)

Just walk Wardour Street from Wong Kei and you come across this small unassuming eating joint:-



You would prolly just walk pass by, not paying much attention to it. Not very attractive from the front - but come during meal times and yr attention will be drawn towards it. For you would notice a long steady line outside!!!!

Yes, people queue up and wait for long periods of time (even during freezing winter) just to get a seat in this place.

But once you are in, you may still be surprised at what is the big deal. It serves pretty ordinary sounding Japanese food.

But it is goooooood!!! The portions are HUGE and the price is sooooo affordable! So no wonder you'll see a lot of asian students eating there. You'll prolly end up sitting next to another Malaysian the next time you are there!


I had this grilled salmon bento set the first time i was there


But most people will go for the rice with meat options - the prok or chicken katsu, curried, or the delicious beef! The mountain of rice in the pic above is covering a generous portion of pork katsu!
