📍 AKIRA Restaurant
📍 Japan House London

We’ve been here a few times now, and this place is definitely becoming one of our favourite Japanese restaurants. We tried the 5 course wagu omakase and 5 course sushi omakase from the dinner menu.

📍 Kasa and Kin

If you’re craving bold Filipino flavours, warm hospitality, and the vibrant spirit of the Philippines—Kasa and Kin in the heart of Soho brings it all together. We stopped by for dinner, and from the first sizzling plate to the final spoonful of dessert, it was a full-on tribute to Filipino culinary heritage.

🍽️ What we ordered:
• Beef Ribeye Steak Beef Pares – served Pampanga style chopped meat, onions & spices
• Pakbet – vegetables sautéed in shrimp paste (bagoong)
• Laing – slow-cooked taro leaves in coconut milk
• Ube Brownie Sundae
• Halo-Halo

🥩 Beef Ribeye Steak Pares

Was served Sisig style, served on a sizzling and stayed hot throughout. Tender, juicy ribeye slices bursting with that unmistakable sweet-savoury richness, crispy on the edges, and glazed in a bold soy-garlic sauce. A modern, elevated take on a street classic, we ordered garlic fried rice to ‘Pair’ with it! —proper Filipino comfort food.

🥬 Pakbet & Laing

Filipino veg at its finest. The Pakbet packed deep umami from the bagoong, balancing freshness and funk, while the Laing was rich, earthy, and warming. The taro leaves were slow-cooked to perfection in creamy coconut milk, lifted by ginger, garlic, and just enough chilli heat. These sides aren’t just extras, they’re essential.

🍨 Dessert: a celebration of ube and nostalgia.

The Ube Brownie Sundae was indulgence in every bite: chewy ube brownie, ube ice cream noodles, topped with sweet purple syrup and white pearl chocolates. As for the Halo-Halo? Cold, colourful, and proudly Filipino. A layered treat that captures everything from our tropical sweetness to our love of mixing flavours and textures. It’s a dessert that tells a story.

📝 What stood out?

The energy and hospitality. From the friendly, attentive service, big thanks to Hitomi, to the warm, modern space that still feels connected to Filipino culture, Kasa and Kin nails the balance. Most of all, the food speaks proudly of its roots. It’s expressive, made for sharing, and unapologetically Filipino.

👎 What could be better?

The menu might be unfamiliar to those new to Filipino cuisine, but the team are more than happy to guide you through. And really that’s part of the experience.

✅ Would I go back?

Without a doubt. The mains are impressive, but it’s the depth of the sides and the nostalgia-laced desserts that will keep me returning.

Kasa and Kin is my go-to Filipino spot in central London. From sizzle to spoon, it’s five stars all day, every day—a true taste of the Philippines, proudly served.

📍Pergola on the Wharf
📍Canary Wharf

After seeing Pergola all over my feed—lush interiors, rooftop vibes, and bold plates—we finally booked in for an evening visit. And yes, booking ahead is essential—this place gets busy, and for good reason.

🍽️ What we ordered:
• Korean-Glazed Flat Iron Steak with
Yuzu Hollandaise & House Pickles
• Sweet Potato Fries
• Korean Pulled Beef Bao Buns with
Kimchi Slaw & Gochujang Sauce
• Camden Pale Ale
• Diet Coke

🥩 The Korean-Glazed Flat Iron Steak was cooked beautifully—tender, smoky, and packed with flavour. The Yuzu Hollandaise added a citrusy zing that cut through the richness perfectly, and the house pickles brought a bright, crunchy balance. The Korean Pulled Beef Bao Buns were equally epic: pillowy-soft, filled with slow-cooked, spicy-sweet beef, creamy kimchi slaw, and a generous drizzle of gochujang sauce. And the Sweet Potato Fries? Crispy, golden, and dangerously snackable. Drinks were simple but hit the spot—Camden Pale Ale for a hoppy kick, and a Diet Coke to keep it classic.

📝 What I liked?
The evening atmosphere was vibey—think fairy lights, chilled music, and a buzzy crowd without feeling chaotic. The space is airy and beautifully designed, with greenery everywhere and waterfront views if you time it right. Food came out quick, portions were solid, and every dish delivered on flavour.

👎 What I didn’t like?
Honestly, not much. It’s definitely a spot you plan for—not ideal for walk-ins—but the payoff is worth the booking. Prices reflect the location and setting, but the quality backs it up.

✅ Would I go back?
Absolutely. I already want to try more of the menu—and the cocktails next time. It’s a perfect mix of relaxed and refined, and ideal for an after-work treat or a casual date night.

🔍 Note: First visit review—excited to return and try more soon.
