Let’s start with one of London’s oldest Japanese restaurants – Chisou. Famous for its extensive sake list (make sure to order one with your food), Chisou has a reputation for Japanese food as you would find it in Japan. With locations in Mayfair and Knightsbridge, Chisou provides a fantastic selection of super fresh sushi or sashimi served at the counter. We’d recommend one of the sushi selections, particularly the Moriawase Sushi which offers nine pieces of nigiri and six pieces of maki.
From the oldest Japanese restaurant in London to one that’s a little more contemporary, Sushi Atelier serves artistically created Japanese dishes. Expect delicate carpaccios, inventive sushi rolls and beautifully topped nigiri. Service is from a long sushi counter, with the chefs working in front of the customers. A must try!
On the Battersea Park Road you’ll find Sushi Cafe, which has a buffet price of £24.80 per person! The buffet menu includes over 50 freshly prepared dishes, including the well-known and loved Salmon Nigiri and Salmon and Avocado Rolls (both of which are a must try). Order as much as you like, until the team has to roll you out after 1 hour and 30 mins.
Husband and wife chef team, Tamas and Tomoko, host up to 10 guests at their intimate wood counter in Mayfair. Their restaurant Roji uses super seasonal British produce, and they create a unique menu that celebrates the fish, vegetables, fruit and meat produced by a handful of small passionate farmers. The food is based on Japanese principles of cooking; grilling, simmering, steaming, frying and cutting. The omakase-style menus include a sushi course and can be paired with a hand-picked selection of sake and wine. Not one to miss.
Ta Ke Sushi s a contemporary Japanese cuisine newly introduced to Ealing. The chefs here have many years of experience in freshly preparing traditional dishes. It’s a great spot to visit with friends and family as the staff are highly accommodating and the modern dining area is both relaxing and tranquil.
