Quality, freshness and authenticity.

At Japanese-owned Shimogamo, we’re serious about your dining experience.

We source the freshest fish from Cornwall, use an original blend of seasoning and make our dashi stock on-site from scratch.

The secret to our delicious dishes is the inspiration from Kyoto-style recipes. Our attention to aesthetics extends to the traditional Kutani tableware brought in especially from Japan - so your meal is a pleasure for your eyes too.

Shimogamo has a dedicated sushi counter, as well as spacious seats that offer a relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere for you to indulge in popular dishes such as sushi, sashimi, shabushabu, sukiyaki and yudofu.

Shimogamo is nestled in the calm of Primrose Hill, yet only a stone throw from Camden.

Our team is looking forward to welcoming you very soon.

    Our group loved the food at Shimagamo. We had Tonkasu which was cooked well and tasted great. It was served with lovely salad and dressing, rice, miso soup and pickles. I would recommend this restuarant for a casual lunch. It was warm and cosy on a rainy day and the service was very welcoming. I have already booked a return lunch. I hear the sushi is also very good so I might try that next time. I'll work my way through the menus it is so tempting.

    Once again a delight to have dinner at Shimogamo, all the food was perfectly executed, from the aubergine starter via the lemongrass sizzled pork to the amazing yellowtail cheek and salmon belly melting in your mouth! Staff was friendly, atmosphere chilled and fairly quiet. A must-try, and again!

    Very fresh delicious food and good value. And the place is not too noisy so perfect for a conversation. Service rather slow and a bit disjointed, and there is not much in the way of decor, but the food alone (especially for the price) is well worth coming for. Such a shame this restaurant is closing next month! Will try to come back before they close.

    very good sake selections and generally foods are very good. Sweets with Yuzu are excellent. only we didn't like that waiters took dishes without asking while we didn't finish the plate completely.

    Japanese friend recommended this restaurant and I - also Japanese- could say it is genuine Japanese food. bit expensive but the food itself is really good especially seafood, such as Sushi, boiled fish.

    Prices are reasonable and service are good. We booked for 3 persons, but were seating in a quite small area, not felt spacious.
