British-Asian Fusion · Nottingham
Where bold Eastern flavours meet the soulful warmth of Britain
Our Story
Ember & East was born from a simple obsession: what happens when the precision of Japanese and Korean cooking meets the heartiness of British tradition? Head chef Mia Tanaka spent a decade moving between London restaurants and her family's kitchen in Osaka before arriving in Nottingham with a vision.
Our dishes don't compromise — they marry. Black garlic meets Hereford beef. Dashi broths embrace locally sourced root vegetables. Every plate is a quiet conversation between two culinary cultures, refined through flame and craft.

Reviews
The truffle pork belly ramen genuinely stopped me mid-conversation. I've eaten at some of the best restaurants in London and this holds its own with complete confidence.

Mia's cooking is something else. The miso salmon melted with the ponzu butter in a way I hadn't expected. Understated, elegant, totally assured. We've been back four times.

It doesn't try too hard. The space is calm, the service is warm, and the food is quietly brilliant. The yuzu cheesecake alone is worth the trip from Sheffield.
