Great Japanese:Peruvian fusion! The Nikkei sashimi and sea bass ceviche is a must! The aubergine miso with apricot and puffed soba was surprisingly delicious! So yummy, there was no room for dessert .

Diane Derrien

An incredible dining experience ! Every dish was spot on, very original and full on unexpected flavours perfectly balanced. Flames at the table sushi was a highlife, as was the chocolate crepe

Justine R

Incredible food!! Best fusion restaurant I've been to in London so far. To save money, go early for a pre-theatre menu. Only 25£ pp and includes 3 (big!) courses and a glass of cava . 😋🍾 Enjoy!!

Silene Lim

We had the bento box for brunch . Everything was delicious, except the chicken and rice . Ambience is trendy (a bit much) but reminds me of sushi samba in NYC when it first opened in the early 2000.

Guido C

Best Peruvian fusion in London. Fantastic food, music and cocktails . Stay away from the sushi and focus on the Peruvian side. Pisco peach is a must! Caution: music can be too loud if you are over 40

İlayda Cakar

Amongst sautée section, hake and truffle is to die for! Sushi close to Japanese standards and cocktails are also super strong! (Hint: Lychee picante 💜) Top.

Paul Gernay

Nice quiet place with interesting fusion Japanese/Peruvian menu. Would definitely recommend for a good chatty dinner with great drinks and ceviche style food.

Phoebe Flockhart

Get the soft-shell crab maki rolls , flavour out of this world. Delish sashimi as well with a variety of dips ; I’d recommend pairing the tuna with the truffle sauce .

Khalid

All time favourite in london. For appetisers go for the tuna tacos , nikkei sashimi , tostadita and sato maki . For mains always go with the lomo al parrila(beef fillet ) or the chicken miso .

Emily-jane

Japanese/peruvian fusion in soho - small plate sharing concept - slightly OTT decor and loud music but the food and cocktails are delicious gyoza , pork belly , short rib and sushi rolls are a must try!

Magda Iwaniec

Pricey but totally worth it! Salmon picante roll, gambas salvajes, nasu miso , tentaculos de pulpo were all amazing. Rather than 4-5 dishes per person, take around 4-6 between the two to be full :)

Levent Akgerman

Great vibe. Citrus sake is interesting. Nigiri platters (aburi as well ), hamachi with yuzu , lobster tempura , passion fruit brulee...the service is impeccable.

Mada 🐎🎾 🏊🏻‍♀️☕️ 🎸

Amazing Nikkei cuisine in a lively atmosphere . Tried the Chef Experience, which is a set menu where the chef comes out with every course to explain the dish. Really great experience

Nikita Ka

Fun vibe to go and grab a a drink at the bar . Very mixed crowd and amazing graffiti artwork. Perfect for pisco sours , the food is not amazing for ceviche go best to Ceviche down the street!

Dorcas Chan

Very good fusion food and stylish restaurant . Pre theatre meal is very good value , for £25, there is champagne , Miso soup , 6 different things for the main and 4 different petit desserts .

Ankit Chhajer

Took my team the £25 bento box is probably the best value for money . Good vegetarian options . Love the cocktails . A must try cool/fusion place.

Lizzie P

Tokyo style bar / restaurant with a mixed crowd and great vibe in the heart of Soho. Check out the graffiti artwork downstairs

Cat

Must try the miso eggplant with dried apricot and puff buckwheat and also the corn fritters . You can get lucky to get a seat at the bar if there is two or less people. Even if it is fully booked .

Ardeshir Patel

Been to this place many times for drinks. The japajito is one of my favourite cocktails . The food here is really good mixing peruvian and Japanese flavours in the most amazing ways. Have the beef .

G Lee

Interesting Japanese Vs Peruvian restaurant . Great atmosphere with nice cocktail . We arrived at 10 and they are still serving food! Try avacado roll!

Nouf Q.

Went for lunch so a bit quit, the place interiors would be amazing at night though and they seem they have a night crowd, the food I've had better Japanese

Raul

I had an amazing lunch experience really nice decor, superb food (sushi and sashimi are really fresh), the concept is vibrant and staff was really attentive.

Jenny

Sushi and pork belly is a must try! The pork belly is juicy is in a rich sauce. Nice atmosphere, not ideal if you want a quiet meal

Emilie Rosoux

Incredible restaurant ! The food is delicious and surprising, the waiter who was taking care of us was lovely and the atmosphere is fancy ! I enjoyed every minute of my evening :)

Nigel Hewson

Very impressive Japanese restaurant with Peruvian influences from founder of Nobu. Tasting menus very good value and way of trying the food.

Romy Cohen

First fusion restaurant I tried. The tuna sashimi on a tortilla was splendid! Also: download the velocity app and insert the code CH1 to get £10 of your bill. 🍣

Rinatsu Chan

Food is just amazing. Absolutely beautiful restaurant and food presentation. In love with salmon guacamole and spicy tuna roll .

Riv

The Aubergine miso and the Octopus with yuzu and potato purée were amazing. Chocolate fondant dessert was good too.

Ly Nguyen

Delicious! Ceviche , maki , tempura everything was excellent! Try chotto dessert plate

Sharon Lam

Great atmosphere and service. Really liked their dumplings and the sauce that came with it. Cocktails were good too!

Fahad

Miso marinated chicken is out of this world 👍🏻👍🏻

Samar Al Ma'awali

Cassava and sweet potato chips , soft shell crab , Chilean sea bass , tuna ceviche , beef tataki and the grilled squid are all a must try !

Sharon Lam

Great atmosphere and service. Tried their sharing course, as expected some dishes were innovative and delicious, the others was rather basic or sauces was too overpowering. But enjoyable experience

Dan

A hollow experience, the place is designed to look good, ultimately the food (veg sharing menu) is lazy and the service is insincere, you are paying for the postcode, not genuine care

Verginia Duran

Very expensive , but the food quality is great! Beautiful plates and very gourmet! Try a Pisco Sour drink!

Jason Quarisa

Highly recommend. Great service and cool vibe. Miso chicken and sushi rolls were standout. sushi rolls were fresh and 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Lamy Choi

Omg it's delicious!! The perfect fusion of 2 cuisines!! The martini with yuzu is highly recommended!

Onwah

The tasting menu is excellent, packed with flavour. Dishes are brought out one at a time over the span of 2-2.5 hours so be prepared for the time investment!

Lamia

Spring rolls are average. Try California roll and quinoa salad ( best quinoa i've tried)

Stuart Murdoch

They have a pre-theatre menu, a bento box with some of the signature dishes like ceviche and maki

Whennoufeats

Ebi tempura sushi , Edamame and Chicha morada

Enzo Martinelli

Lovey combination of Japanese and Latin cuisine. A guaranteed success with a group of friends.

Jawharah💎

Good. Prawn tempura , california maki , ebi furi maki are recommended. The beef steak with pomegranate sauce is below average. Prawn spring rolls is regular.

Johannes Driessen

Stunning Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant . Extremely cool, great atmosphere and food to die for. Do it. Eat it all.

H Alghanim

shrimp roll & spice beef 👌🏻

Heena Karani

Great cocktails & loved the veggie sushi & the veg tostadas . Wasn't a big fan of the aubergine miso or the corn dishes. The service was really slow.

Lexi Zhao

creative food but highly-priced and the portions are too tiny! But I think it's a good place for some dessert and cocktails !

Ipek

Definitely try the anticucheria dishes, particularly the octopus and the corazon! The sushi and cocktails are good too
