Japanese Lunch in Soho: Quick, Tasty and Anything But Ordinary

Lunch in Soho can sometimes feel like a race against the clock. You have meetings to get to, shops to explore, emails to answer and, if you're lucky, a little time to actually enjoy your lunch.

But quick doesn't have to mean boring.

At HIMI, we’re bringing something a little different to lunchtime in Soho: Japanese food with a modern edge, served in a relaxed setting and designed to fit into a busy London day.

A Japanese lunch with a difference

Forget the predictable sushi-and-miso-soup lunch.

While Japanese food is at the heart of what we do, HIMI isn't about sticking rigidly to the usual Japanese restaurant playbook. Our menu takes inspiration from Japan while embracing contemporary flavours, ingredients and techniques.

The result is food that feels familiar enough to be comforting, but different enough to make lunch feel like something worth looking forward to.

Whether you're after something light, something satisfying or simply want to try something you haven't had before, there's plenty to discover.

The HIMI set lunch

Our set lunch menu is designed with Soho lunchtime in mind: delicious food, served efficiently, without compromising on quality.

It's ideal when you have an hour between meetings, a lunch date with a friend, or simply want to escape the office for something better than a sandwich at your desk.

A set menu also means less time deciding and more time eating. Sit down, order, relax and let us take care of the rest.

And because it's HIMI, expect more than the standard Japanese lunch.

Lunch before shopping, theatre or Soho exploring

HIMI is perfectly placed for a day in Soho.

Perhaps you're heading into the West End later, meeting friends for a day of shopping, browsing around Liberty, exploring Oxford Street or simply spending a few hours wandering the streets of Soho.

A good lunch makes the perfect halfway point.

Come early, take your time and make lunch part of the day rather than something squeezed in between everything else.

Quick lunch. Proper food.

We know that London lunch can be a balancing act. You want food that's quick enough to fit around your schedule, but good enough to make leaving the office worthwhile.

That's exactly what we're aiming for at HIMI.

Japanese-inspired. Modern. Full of flavour. And definitely not your usual Japanese lunch.

So next time you're in Soho at lunchtime, skip the desk lunch and come and see what HIMI is doing differently.
