Friends in Sutton

“Visited the great new tearoom formerly known as Tashas Tearoom in Cheam Village today . Was greeted with a lovely welcome from the new owner Sally and her husband Alan straight away . Lovely homely feel to the place . Plenty of tables to sit at. We ordered drinks which came very quickly from the owners son George , lovely lad who was very helpful. We then ordered the Tuna and cheese Panini which came with some crisps and a small salad garnish, well presented and very tasty , would highly recommend a visit to this cozy tearoom that will prove to be an asset to Cheam Village.”

“So glad i live around the corner from this place. They remain the BEST in SUTTON. Their food is always fresh with large portions and very fast delivery. What i love the best about this place is that even though i live 5 min walk away they still dont hesitate to deliver it. They always make sure that the delivered food is hot. Thats how pizza is eaten at its best. We definitely need to help this family business get BIGGER and BIGGER. Because they absolutely deserve it XXX”

“Not one to leave reviews often but felt the need to for team at Fade! From the moment you walk in greeted by the friendliest team! They listen and provide best trim you could ask for and the finished result shows they know and are passionate about their craft! Definitely not going to be using anyone else then these boys!”

“Majestic Wine Cheam have just helped me at the last minute having been let down elsewhere. Ellie was incredibly helpful reserving the large order at short notice and having it all ready for me to load just before she shut the shop. Excellent service for which I’m very grateful.”

“First time visiting the new restaurant, sashimi was a lot better than I would have expected for the price. Thai red curry and pad Thai were great. I suspect eating in meant the food was better but when is that not the case?? Recommend for anyone in the area to try. Based on tonight it’d be a loss to not see it get customers it deserves”

“[SHORT VERSION] One of the best Japanese food we’ve had in London. Prices were MORE than reasonable and the portions are big. You should eat here. [LONG VERSION] The Food: We first had the Yuzu Yellowtail Tiradito. The first mouthful me and my partner had, we looked at each other and said, this sort of flavours could be easily served in fine dining restaurants. Very complex sweet, sour, and a small beautiful hint of spiciness to it and then the yellowtail tasted so fresh. Not one bit of slimy/fishy smell or flavour to it. We then had the mixed tempura. There was no usual dipping sauce and we thought it was a bit sad, but when we had our first bite, it was so crunchy and tasty that too much sauce would ruin it. You could really taste the freshness of the prawn. My partner and I think that proper japanese chefs pay attention to detail, so we check how they prepare their food, and they delivered. The tails of the prawns were completely clean with no black marks at all and the vegetables were so fresh too. We also had the pork katsu curry, which had the entire bowl covered with the pork cutlet and a really powerful japanese curry sauce(very flavourful)[no photo as someone took a better one that does justice to it]. The Chef and the Place: To be honest, I found out about this restaurant passing by it early morning(it was closed) on our to the bus stop, and I checked the reviews(high). I thought we would drop by later that night. They said that they don’t do reservations as it is really a small place(mainly takeaways), with bar like setting(stools lined up along the window and along where the chef prepares sushi) and 1 small table on the side. We went in later for dinner and were surprised that there wasn’t a single Japanese staff in the place, I even looked outside to check if we were in the right place. So we’re like, ok let’s just order, we’re here already and as soon as we tasted the food, we loved it. We talked to this Sri Lankan chef and asked how the hell his food tasted this good and we all had a good laugh. He’s been in the Japanese Fine dining field for 25 years and he wanted to start his own little restaurant serving cheap but high quality food. We spent 2 hours talking about Japanese food, and how they store, prepare, and present their food. They even showed us that they use only the highest quality ingredients all the way down to the salt they use for the sushi. These guys are lovely human beings and they are also highly skilled in what they do and they need the recognition. Thank you for the lovely meal. It was a pleasure meeting you guys. P.S. Thanks for the special off-menu aburi salmon!”

“What a fantastic experience! The staff especially waitress was incredibly kind and welcoming — truly made us feel at home from the start.

“This place is an absolute hidden gem in Sutton. The food is fantastic. It is so so amazingly tasty. The portions were large. We ate in and also did take away, with the standard of food being the same whether eat in or takeaway. The lady serving us was efficient and kind. Lots of Chinese people eat and take away here.. we are now regulars here…. And are slowly tasting everything on the menu… with the Singapore laksa being our favourite.”
