GOLDERS GREEN. This restaurant serves some of London's best sushi. So, while fabric-draped ceilings and comfortable surroundings are pleasant, they take a backseat to the authentic, innovative menu. Dishes include sushi, deep-fried scorpion fish, and shrimp tempura. In addition, the set dinner menu offers terrific sampling at great prices. You'll get several starters, a broad assortment of sushi, and your choice of main dish, not to mention an elaborate ice cream-based dessert. TUBE: Golders Green

MARYLEBONE. There's nothing flashy or frilly about this Marylebone sushi joint. The emphasis instead is on exceptionally good sushi, sashimi, and nigiri. An excellent wine list and friendly, efficient service round out the experience. Private rooms are available for parties, and dinner bookings are encouraged, especially on weekends. TUBE: Bond Street

HAMPSTEAD. This Hampstead restaurant boasts a telltale green facade and serves a tasty array of Japanese fare, from hand-rolled sushi and eel (the latter fried, of course) to chicken yakitori and shrimp tempura. Each dish is prepared to-order, using only the freshest ingredients, and intimate wooden tables and subtle decor give Jin Kichi an authentic feel. TUBE: Hampstead

ST. JAMES'S. This longtime Japanese favorite continues to thrive, thanks to a spacious interior, helpful service (they'll even put your bib on for you), and excellent teppanyaki-style cooking. Lobster, duck, chicken, and pork are all prepared in an authentic manner and with skill by entertaining chefs at large, yellow, U-shaped tables. When the meal is done, lights are turned down for the finale – fireball ice cream prepared amid Grand Marnier flames. TUBE: Green Park

MAYFAIR. This well-known Japanese restaurant is famous for its fresh seafood dishes and its huge variety of noodles. Although the exterior looks unassuming (even nondescript) and the interior is almost equally simple, the prominence of Japanese patrons lets you know that the kitchen is skilled at authentic cooking. Sashimi is a specialty, and dishes like grilled eel, seafood teppanyaki, and hamachi keep aficionados coming back for more. TUBE: Green Park

MAYFAIR. This restaurant offers London's most extensive Japanese menu, although Latin and American influences are thrown in to create a truly original cuisine. Traditional favorites like sushi, sashimi, and tempura are prepared with unique twists. Eel, for example, comes rolled in a pancake and served with lime, foie gras, and sweet potato noodles. Skewered tuna and tofu are topped with black bean sauce and "devil's tongue root paste." Expect something different in the cool, black, minimalist dining room. TUBE: Hyde Park Corner

MAYFAIR. This highly regarded Japanese restaurant offers an authentic, upscale experience that diners won't soon forget. The menu features a wide range of deliciously exotic fare to suit just about any palate, from grilled teriyaki to hand-rolled sushi. The setting in the esteemed, Georgian-style Millennium Mayfair is comfortable and unpretentious, if a bit subterranean. TUBE: Bond Street

CLAPHAM. Although it can be loud and space can get tight, such conditions don't seem to bother loyal Tsunami patrons, who find much to applaud in the place's fantastic fare. Beautifully crafted sushi draws constant praise, and bento boxes offer an easy, delicious overview of the menu. Cooked dishes like tempura, katsu, and curries please folks not in the mood for sashimi et al. Chic surroundings, affordable prices, and a broad selection only increase the overall appeal.

CANARY WHARF. Folks at Canary Wharf satisfy their raw fish cravings at this sushi bar, the more casual sibling of London's famed Nobu. The sleek geometry of the decor takes a backseat only to the view, which is maximized by walls made entirely of glass. The menu, too, boasts cutting-edge attitude, and some of its creative Japanese dishes boast unexpected South American flair – Dover sole with black bean sauce, king crab claw with butter ponzu sauce, Peruvian-style spicy rib-eye steak, and scallops with spicy garlic sauce. TUBE: Canary Wharf
