Two Kitchens

Two Kitchens on the High Road is exactly what the name implies: an Italian kitchen and a Japanese kitchen operating under one roof, with no crossover between them. The Italian side fires up a wood-burning oven for pizzas — pepperoni is frequently cited as a highlight — and the pasta and grill menu is broad enough to serve a full evening meal. The Japanese side runs sushi, nigiri, sashimi, tempura, teriyaki, katsu curry, and ramen, with the sushi quality praised in reviews as genuinely fresh and restaurant-standard rather than supermarket-standard. Bubble teas, cocktails, and a dessert menu round out an offer that serves families, couples, and groups who cannot agree on a cuisine. The dual concept has been running long enough to build a Loughton following: over 1,300 reviews at 4.4 aggregate on one platform. Dine-in, takeaway, and delivery are all available.
