Kome

Kome — the name means "rice" in Japanese — is a family-run Japanese and Korean takeaway on Chigwell Road, Woodford Bridge, established in 2013. The sushi is made fresh to order: nigiri, sashimi rolls, and maki are prepared with fish that customers consistently describe as genuinely fresh and properly handled. Katsu curry — crispy chicken with Japanese curry sauce and rice — is the most recommended hot dish, praised for the quality of the crumb and the lightness of the sauce. The kitchen also handles teriyaki, chicken wings, and rice bowls. Google gives it 4.3 stars; Restaurant Guru rates it 4.8 from over 700 reviews. It operates from a small unit with a modest eat-in area, primarily as a takeaway. For Japanese food in the Chigwell Road corridor, Kome is by some distance the area's best option.
