Oh my word. Pay the price but so worth it. Perfect Japanese food in this two Michelin started restaurant . Sashimi , sushi , sea urchins all melt in the mouth! Good heaven and I will return!

Andreas Cohen

Ishii-san is on the highest level, creating locally sourced kaiseki while being directly in touch with the fisherman to ensure the highest quality experience. Hands down best in Europe

Umu serves authentic and timeless Japanese food at its finest, using top quality ingredients. The way they prepare the food is simply amazing. Read more

TO: must haves include the zingy hand-cut red prawn tartar , delicatelysweet-salt-smoke eel kabayake or buttery yellowtail nigiri . Also memorable: sake-cured Scottish langoustines with tomato jelly .

Natalia Quintero

The kaiseki here is traditional in its form but often modern in its offerings, with a set menu of eight exciting, meticulous, and ingredient-focused dishes and an impressive wine and sake list.

Odelia Maman

An experience out of this world. You have to try the Japanese fish and chips .

Marina Pisklova

Top 1 Japanese restaurant in London . Authentic food, wagyu beef out of this world. Atmosphere is cozy . Be prepared to £££ spend quite a bit though.

Bonnie Wong

Get the chef 's special bento on the lunch menu !

An experience with one of the most expensive restaurants in London. Other places have better sushi and Japanese but you've got to shortlist this for a special occasion .

Amazing sashimi g8 wine list poor selection of cocktails best japense in London but pricey wagu was £90

Moozl

Try the rice pudding it was one of the best I've ever had.

David A

The sashimi is out of this world. But if you are not careful you can easily rack up a tab of £175 plus per person.

Hildegunn Nilssen

Go for the set menu and wine pairing . Expensive, but worth it. Service is wonderful.

Jasmine Friedl

I got the omakase and sushi extras, personally thought the rice was too tough and dry, other than that, fish was good

Nabeel

Excellent food and service

Saxow Boy

Kaiseki good but expected better from pricey 2-star Michelin

Sal

Very disappointed. Did not like the miso soup , sushi is ok although there isn’t many options. In my opinion it is the worst Japanese restaurantI’ve ever been to!

Christian Bisaillon

Sit at the counter for the best experience.

Amazing food!

Two Michelin stars .

Michelin service @ Michelin prices for unimpressive Japanese. Avoid, London has much better...

Nour Mardam

Extremely overrated! Service was great, rest decoration is very nice. However, food is average and not worth the value at all.
