Inside, the decor is clean and simple. The sushi bar runs along one side of the narrow room, with eight or nine stools. Table seating for 18 people is opposite, with a long banquette along the wall and blocky pale wood tables and chairs. The tables can be moved left and right to provide seating for groups of two, four, etc. |
oonth on Chowhound [http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/471658#4569761 reports] that it has a similar (but more extensive) menu to their [[Atari-Ya Sushi Bar, W1U 1EH|James Street branch]]. |

[[Kake]] visited on a Wednesday lunchtime in September 2009. There were about half a dozen other customers when I arrived, so no problem finding me a table. Music was playing, some radio station or other. Tea arrived mere seconds after I sat down, and was refilled as necessary. The only menu I was given was the set lunch one, from which I chose the sashimi set lunch (£9.50). Pickles and miso soup arrived first; both were good. Next came a salad of mixed green leaves in a decent enough dressing, tangy but not sharp. The main event comprised a bowl of rice (good, firm grains, not overcooked or mushy) and twelve pieces of sashimi <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3883996818/ photo]</small>; scallop, surf clam, salmon, medium-fatty tuna (chutoro), and lean tuna (akami). All the fish tasted fresh, and was well-cut. The scallops in particular were the freshest I've tasted in a while. [[Kake]]'s verdict: Atari-Ya offers possibly the best quality-to-price ratio you'll find in London. I made the journey up to Hendon specifically to have lunch here, and I'd do it again. They have [[Atari-Ya Sushi Bar, W1U 1EH|another sushi bar]] on James Street in [[Locale Marylebone|Marylebone]], which gets more crowded but is probably more convenient for many people. Accessibility: One step up to get in. Didn't check the toilets.
