NOKO (Brixton) - (Near Lambeth, london)

Dan Calladine Good Japanese food and drinks. I popped in for a quick dinner and really enjoyed the special donburi rice bowl (with squid, prawns and kimchi) with a draught Asahi. The menu is extensive with noodles, okonomiyaki and more, plus lots of choice in drinks including sake and beer.

helen asher Absolutely excellent! My three meats rice dish could not have been any better. 11/10! The roast pork was perfection! Best crackling I’ve had . The sauces that ties everything together was more perfection! Rice was fluffy… literally perfection in a dish.

Ada P This place serves really good food at an amazing price! I had the lamb curry which was very tender and in a delicious sauce full of flavour, a large portion with the bony lamb and lots of meat which i love. The naan was freshly baked and very nice. For £6 with the naan and salad it is amazing value for the quality, taste and portion. The staff were friendly and kind. The naans were being freshly rolled and Hand spun before being cooked. The place was also super clean and all food looked good. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their food, definitely going to be a staple work lunch at their pricing! I would definitely recommend.

James Kirk Food was amazing, hands down the best pancakes I have ever eaten. Coffee was fantastic too. Staff were really friendly and I loved the general vibe/atmosphere of the place. Me and my other half found this place by a happy accident and I’m so glad we did. Best breakfast/brunch we’ve had.

Faizal Haqq I used there cater services for a large funeral and they were very professional. The correspondence was easy and the management were responsive. They arrived early on the day to set up, the waiting staff were polite, friendly and organised. The food was fresh, delicious and hot. They cleaned up after and the head chef checked in on us to make sure everything was okay. Overall, had a great experience. 10/10 would recommend.

Sabrina S I’ve been coming to San Marino in Brixton for years and it has always been one of my absolute favourite spots. It’s a family-run café and you really feel that warmth every time you walk in — the staff are genuinely welcoming and make you feel at home. The food is consistently amazing, especially the breakfasts, which are some of the best in Brixton. Everything is always fresh, well-cooked and generous, and it’s the kind of place you can rely on every single time. I’ve brought friends and family here over the years and it’s always the first place I recommend. I also love that they now have a bar in the evenings — the cocktails and atmosphere are brilliant and it’s become my go-to spot before and after gigs. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. Always leave happy, full, and already planning the next visit.
