KIBOU - Battersea

Bringing the taste of Tokyo to Battersea, KIBOU Japanese hot kitchen and bar is a must for any sushi or ramen lover in London.

This gorgeous restaurant at the end of Clapham's trendy Northcote Road is bursting with colour, with iconic Japanese-inspired murals adorning the walls, a huge cherry blossom tree to the front, and a floral conservatory area inside the venue.

The menu is as eclectic as the design, featuring a melting pot of all your favourite Japanese classics. Dig into bowls of steaming ramen, made with pork, chicken or vegan broth, freshly prepared katsu curry, and increasingly popular donburi, Japanese rice bowls. Alongside these, you’ll find steamed bao buns with a variety of fillings, a selection of hip poke bowls and an extensive range of handmade-to-order sushi and sashimi, including their signature and much-talked-about volcano roll - salmon, avocado and tobiko futomaki, tempura fried all served with KIBOU house sauce.

Plus, get into the Japanese spirit with a visit to KIBOU Battersea's standalone bar and izakaya. Here, some of the best names in Japanese whisky jostle for shelf space with a premium range of sake and shōchū.

You can also enjoy a Japanese-inspired afternoon tea at the venue, plus they offer a Bottomless Sushi menu every Sunday for just £34 per person.
