OKA Barnes is a Japanese and pan-Asian restaurant at 88 Church Road in Barnes. It offers table booking and a full dine-in menu as well as takeaway, giving local guests a choice between a settled meal and food ordered for home.
Sushi and rolls are an important part of the menu, with combinations such as jalapeño salmon with avocado and cucumber or the Red Dragon roll with prawn, mango, tuna tartare and ponzu soy. Seaweed salad and smaller plates can be shared before the main dishes.
Hot cooking brings beef teppanyaki, bulgogi beef on sticky rice and tempura sea bass with pak choi. The broader pan-Asian approach allows the kitchen to move between Japanese techniques, stir fries, rice bowls and sauces with sweet, citrus and savoury elements.
Lunch, specials, dessert and drinks menus sit alongside the main selection, making the restaurant useful for both a quick meal and a longer evening. Guests with allergies or dietary restrictions should check the current menu and discuss preparation with the team before ordering.
Address: 88 Church Road, Barnes, London SW13 0DQ, England
