Square Meal review of Tosa: ? Write your own review

With its fired-up open charcoal grill next to the diminutive front terrace, Tosa sets out its stall as a traditional purveyor of skewered morsels served in handy mini selections. The benchmark chicken & onion yakitori marinated in a rich sauce are fantastic, but inquisitive diners should grab several different sorts between them & see what’s best. Don’t miss the asparamaki (rolled pork belly with asparagus) or pork loin shisomaki: both are vibrantly flavoured, grilled to perfection while you watch, & wonderfully moreish. With most skewers priced at less than £2 each, you can happily indulge without any financial embarrassment. Elsewhere on the menu, tempura is as crisp & fresh as you could ask for. Sushi & sashimi specialities are also available, including nattomaki – the fermented soya bean rolls that brave fans of Japanese cuisine hold in high regard. Drink Sapporo beer, tea or saké.

I lived in Japan for several years, speak the language and I am a Japanese food fan .
Tosa is owned by two Croatian brothers who were trained for over 15 years at a Japanese restaurant in Finchley. Their dedication to authenticity is commendable . Their wives are Japanese and Chinese, you see them helping out, it is a family enterprise. I was one of their first fan and client and continue to support them regularly because I want them to flourish and so I can have my Japanese fix…since I am a Japanopile …

My kids love their entire menu..Their lunch menu is excellent value for money. Cooked with fresh ingredients to perfection. Yakitori is perfectly grilled and not overdone with the sweet sauce which most of the other Japanese restaurants tend to do.. Their dashi broth used in all their dishes are light, and full flavoured , you can taste the richness of the tuna flakes ..well balanced …

Try their agedashi toufu..a real test whether they could balance the soft delicate texture of the toufu and crispy light batter dipped in delicious dashi sauce garnished with ginger and spring onion …a dish I could never master and hence a must order everytime I am there…

Those who have never tried Japanese cuisine , Tosa is going to be the best benchmark for you …it never fails to deliver ..the attention to detail and the after taste lingering after the meal is usually a satisfied smile and knowing I could come back anytime..one of the few Japanese restaurants opened all week …long may they continue to be my second kitchen…

The restaurant is delicate in it's presentation from outside and within, and traditional Japanese table laying ensures you feel the authenticity of the place.
Serving staff are patient and helpful, assisting us with ordering a range of dishes as a starter and providing a repeat order of the t-bone steak, which is highly recommmended.
The range of dishes is excellent, from tempura and sushi to sesame green beans and incredible circles of pork on a stick. The flavour of everything was excellent.
Nice selection of wines (rose was good) and Japanese beers as well as spirits including saki. Overall I would say the service is great and the food is worth the journey!!

Kate, Orpington.
