Nestled just a short stroll from Hampstead Heath at 9 South End Road, NW3 2PT, Mitsuryu is a Japanese dining spot that blends quality, authenticity and value in one inviting package. Popular dishes include classics like chicken katsu curry, teriyaki salmon and inventive sushi rolls. Mitsuryu strikes a nice balance: it’s more polished than a typical fast casual sushi spot, but less formal (and much more affordable) than luxury omakase-only venues. If you’re looking for Japanese cuisine in Hampstead that covers both sushi lovers and fans of comforting hot dishes, we deliver and offer takeaway. The proximity to the Heath makes it a good option either for a pre-walk meal or a relaxed dinner after an outing.

    Came here for a kids birthday party meal. The service, and Mo in particular, was fantastic - especially with such a group and with a few allergies. Was a great time and the team did a great job at facilitating this - very happy with the service
