Kawagishi Restaurant is a small, relaxed Japanese-cuisine eatery in Greenwich, boasting an incredible location with a view looking out to the water. If you're living or working in the surrounding area and looking for a special place to host an event or occasion, Kawagishi has one of the best spots in Greenwich and a delicious menu to boot.
When the weather's nice, a selection of tables and chairs at the front of the restaurant let diners enjoy scenes of boats big and small sail past, with one of the most unique views in the city. Inside, you'll find a minimalist-style space rooted in natural materials and colours with wooden tables, grey seating and pendant lighting over head. A lovely detail is the wall murals of elegant cranes and crashing waves, with a typical Japanese style which give the restaurant an artistic flair.
When it comes to hiring the space, the best thing to do is speak to the team about your wants and needs. They can chat through the options with you, whether you're looking to book a large table, part of the restaurant or take over the entire thing.
Another great reason to book Kawagishi Restaurant, of course, is the food. The menu is extensive and covers several different sections, starting with a selection of appetisers such as chopped tuna tartare with yuzu miso, spring onion avocado crest and tempura nori, alongside chicken wings marinated in Korean spices, glazed with soy and red chilli.
We think the tempura selection sounds particularly delicious, with soft shell crab, sweet potato and prawn tempuras. As does the range of sushi, with sashimi, nigiri and delicious crunchy maki. In terms of bringing in a cake or desserts for a special occasion, while the menu doesn't have any options currently, again chat to the team and they can advise.
