About
One of the original Atariya sushi bars in North London, the Golders Green branch on Finchley Road is run by Japanese-owned JFLA Holdings, a Tokyo-based company that is London's leading wholesale supplier of sashimi-grade fish. The counter offers a wide range of freshly prepared nigiri, sashimi sets, and maki throughout the day, using fish sourced directly from Japanese markets. The Golders Green location — close to the tube and a large North London Japanese community — has long been one of the group's busiest sites, earning a loyal following among Japanese chefs and food-savvy locals seeking exceptional quality at reasonable prices.
