KANJI

Kanji in Balham is the sort of place that makes you wonder how you lived before finding it. The food? Absolutely banging. The sweet and sour spicy chicken katsu has fans raving, and honestly, it’s hard to argue with that. It’s fresh, flavourful, and you can tell the chef cares – maybe because he’s always around, keeping things lively.

But it’s Mr. Lee, the owner, who really steals the show. His hospitality is so warm you’d think you walked into a family reunion and everyone was a Michelin-star chef. Whether it's the homemade drinks or the delightful service, Kanji nails the balance between quality and comfort. If you’re in Balham and haven’t tried it yet, what are you even doing with your life? 🍜👌
