London has hundreds of Japanese restaurants — but finding the ones that feel genuinely Japanese takes time. Mekiki is an independent guide built by Japanese Londoner. Browse 100+ carefully selected restaurants across London, filtered by area, cuisine, meal type, price, and Google rating from Michelin-listed omakase to neighbourhood ramen. Bilingual in English and Japanese. Updated regularly. Unlike algorithm-driven review sites, every listing is curated by someone who actually knows the food.

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Ken 👋 I moved to London from Japan and immediately noticed something missing — it's genuinely hard to find Japanese food here that feels like Japan. Not just sushi conveyor belts, but proper izakaya, handmade ramen, wagashi, omakase... the kind of food I grew up with. I run Youtori, a Japanese supper club in London. Through years of cooking for Londoners and exploring the city's Japanese food scene, I kept a personal list of places I'd actually recommend to Japanese friends. Mekiki grew out of that list. 100+ restaurants, filterable by area, cuisine, price, and Google rating. Bilingual for both Londoners and Japanese expats living here. Would love to hear from anyone who's tried to find good Japanese food in London — you know the struggle 😅 With love, Ken
