About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Vegetarian-friendly
Launched in October 2017, AUN is a small, independent restaurant bringing the Japanese concept of ‘wakon yosai’ to the heart of Stoke Newington.
This idea of learning western techniques without losing a Japanese spirit translates as imaginatively presented dishes that create delicious Japanese flavours using European ingredients alongside traditional ones.

    Service a bit random and portions a bit small. Can run up a bill quite quickly just trying to get full

    For an enjoyable evening with excellent food you can’t go wrong with Anu. Staff were knowledgeable without being fussy. Food was well timed and although reasonably busy the noise level was good. Will definitely visit again.

    I would love to give this another shot but unfortunately it was an overall disappointing experience. The food just took way, way too long. Staff was lovely, I think understaffed. Food was good but not mind blowing, too expensive for this service level.

    Incredible food with warm and friendly staff who go out of their way to make sure you’re enjoying the experience! I’ve been three times and eaten something completely different and equally delicious each time. Amazing vegan options.

    We had a large table for 11 @ 3pm and the kitchen closed very swiftly after, which was fine. We were only given 1.5 hrs to eat and drink which was disappointing given the table size. If I had known the restaurant closed I would not have booked at this time. Other than this the service was good and the food was nice. Overall I wouldn’t recommend for large groups as they couldn’t accommodate cocktails for 5/6 people at one time

    All the dishes were delicious and beautifully presented. Service was friendly and attentive. A couple more wines by the glass would be good. Definitely a place to go back to

    We were sadly quite disappointed with our meal here. The food and service weren’t great and it felt very overpriced for the quality
