Known for its authentic Japanese cuisine, Maguro delivers top-quality sushi and sashimi in a relaxed, minimalist setting that feels like a true neighborhood gem.

Whether you're heading to an intimate gig or a big night out, this spot offers a quiet escape before the music begins. The menu focuses on fresh, traditional Japanese fare, including expertly prepared nigiri, maki, donburi bowls, and tempura — all served with care by a friendly, attentive staff.

Why Concert-goers love it

Quick service and calm surroundings make Maguro ideal for a pre-show dinner without the rush.

What People Say

Reviews highlight the freshness and quality of the sushi, with many calling it a hidden gem in West London. Diners love the reasonable prices, clean presentation, and attentive service. It’s also frequently praised for being peaceful and unpretentious, making it a great spot to unwind before a high-energy night.

Areas for Improvement

While the food is widely appreciated, some reviewers mention that the decor is a little plain — think more traditional than trendy. And since it’s a small space, it can fill up quickly, so booking ahead is a good idea.
