Yokoya is an intimate Japanese kaiseki restaurant at 9A Delancey Street in Camden Town. With space for only a small number of guests, it offers a focused, reservation led experience built around close attention to season, presentation and pace.
The restaurant now concentrates on traditional kaiseki rather than a conventional sushi menu. Eight and ten course selections lead diners through a sequence of varied preparations, each intended to express the character of its ingredients without unnecessary embellishment.
Seasonal produce and carefully selected Japanese ingredients shape what is served on any particular visit. Changes in temperature, texture, colour and cooking method give the meal its rhythm, making the progression as important as any single plate.
A curated choice of Japanese drinks supports the food and the quiet scale of the room. Yokoya is best for diners who value a deliberate, chef guided meal and are comfortable booking ahead for a set multi-course experience.
Address: 9A Delancey Street, Camden Town, London NW1 7NL, England
