At MYMA, we bring the heart of Japan to East London. Led by Chef Alex Ghețău, we offer a cozy, modern atmosphere where traditional Sushi and comforting Ramen are our signature dishes.

Additionally, in Irish, “MYMA” means “the person you love the most,” and in Indian traditions, "MA" represents “mother,” the embodiment of love and care. This fusion of meanings underscores our mission to provide a space where everyone feels cherished.Located near Canning Town in East London, MYMA is the perfect place to enjoy authentic Japanese flavors with a modern twist.
