Best Japanese Restaurants in Golders Green

The food was excellent except for the tempura starter which I wouldn’t order again because it was rather greasy. This is our third time here over the past year but this time the service was not as good. There was a fairly young man who seemed very new and not to appear to know the menu offerings. More disappointing was his complete lack of knowledge about sake. We ordered the four sake tasting (£20 pp) and he didn’t know which one we should pair with each dish nor could he tell us anything about the sake. I can appreciate he might be learning but why he couldn’t call on a more experienced member of staff to briefly describe the four sakes is a mystery. Although pleasant, he didn’t seem at all interested in learning nor curious about food. Once the plates were cleared he didn’t ask if we wanted dessert or more to drink. After waiting 20 minutes we just decided to pay and leave. This is a good restaurant with mostly excellent quality food and many menu items but on this one night it was let down by a very inexperienced staff member.

Our personal experience was excellent. We had a dog and a kid with us so we were a little anxious but were waited on brilliantly and the food was absolutely superb. You guys were great and made a rare night out for us feel very special. Thank you.

Really enjoyed the chicken and beef Udon noodles. Lovely, friendly staff and just a very calm dinning experience on a cold night.

Murasaki never disappoints , food is outstanding, chefs sashimi special fabulous and the service is brilliant thank you again

This is a perfect neighbourhood restaurant. Fresh food, excellent quality and good service. Every neighbourhood needs a local spot this great. Also iconic fashion images from the owners label from the 90's to look at. It's quirky and different. They are really nice to kids too.
