Tombo, Japanese for dragonfly, a symbol of renewal and positive force is London’s first authentic Japanese café and delicatessen. Situated in the heart of the South Kensington museum district, Tombo offers a new experience in modern Japanese cuisine and the art of tea. Our focus is on delicious, healthy low fat eating with a range of well-balanced mineral rich dishes to eat in or take out.

Come and try our innovative sushi maki rolls freshly made every day in store. Grab a Bento box or a Don dish (fish or meat topping on rice), try our noodle of the day or simply make your own selection from the deli counter.

We are proud of our specialist cakes many containing green tea made in store and by Japanese patissier Lanka in north London and Taste of Dreams in Sussex.

We are also passionate about the pleasures and health benefits of tea in general and green tea in particular. Sourced from our supplier in Kakegawa on the slopes of Mt Fuji, we offer a range of green teas to delight your taste buds and to help keep you healthy. Tombo’s speciality is matcha latte served hot or iced. Come and find out why it already has a dedicated following in South Kensington.
