Japanese Lantern Street Bar ちょうちん横丁, Kingsland

Ordered the Yokocho carpaccio with hemp seed oil and olive oil, Dan Dan dry noodles and unagi Don. The carpaccio comes out with smoking dry ice which looks great but also tastes awesome - never seen this in a Japanese restaurant before. Everywhere I go, I have to try the unagi Don, because after having it in Japan, I've been chasing the perfect unagi don forever. Unfortunately, I've yet to see the authentic taste replicated. Nonetheless, quite good. Thumbs up for the Dan Dan chewy noodles too - you'll feel quite bloated after this dish. Of course, the decor needs to be complimented as there aren't many places with such nice lanterns as displayed.

Really enjoyed my experience here tonight. Clean and tidy. I tried beef tongue and pickled vegetables. It was very good

Nice Japanese themed restaurant. Portions were a bit small in my opinion but tasteful nonetheless. Grilled squid it definitely worth trying, it has a tender texture and slightly smoked taste. Service was great, staff members are attentive and ready to explain anything any point from the menu.
