Chisou - Mayfair in City of London, Westminster

Went twice in 2024 and was really happy both times. Good quality food and good service at a relatively reasonable price for central London. I also like the quiet location in a side alley away from the bustle of bond street.

Every dish we chose was incredible, with a special mention to the fried aubergine and tori kara age. Really lovely vibrant atmosphere and incredible mix of different people enjoying the skilled cooking. The service charge is steep at 15% but if it all goes to the very charming staff then it hurts a bit less. The bill was actually very reasonable considering the quality of the food and service. Will definitely be returning!

This restaurant was truly a wonderful experience from the moment I arrived to leaving. If you love Japanese food like myself - this is like heaven - I enjoyed the special lunch menu which was amazing value especially in Mayfair. Treat yourself and visit ❤️❤️❤️

Superb food and service. The waitstaff are incredibly friendly and make the experience one that is warm and uplifting! For sure enquire about the specials of the day as these are sometimes not written and are exclusive for a limited time.

Food and service was top. On the bill it was an optional +15% for service. This new practice isn’t correct. Stop it please!

After dining at Chisou, I discovered that Chisou had harvested my contact details and used it to send me spam emails. I never consented to my details being passed around to other companies, and on one email it says "You are receiving this because you booked a table at Chisou, Sushi Atelier, or Roji restaurant or signed up for a newsletter". This is really unprofessional and not how a restaurant should thank its customers. As for Chisou itself, its noisy and the setting is rudimentary and bland - its just a food outlet to go to, it isn't anything special. The rock shrimp tempura was rather poor.

A super evening celebrating our daughter’s birthday. The food was a delicious mixture of texture and taste. Well done to the chefs. And a big Thank You to the serving staff. They were friendly, helpful and attentive. This wasn’t our first time in Chisou and it will definitely not be the last. Would highly recommend.

Lovely birthday meal with my daughter. Excellent food and service. We just walked in and were fitted in as we were off to a theatre show and only wanted a light meal. The waitresses were all charming. Sushi was really fab particularly spicy tuna.

This was the first time I've visited the restaurant and quite a few people were queueing before it opened at 1pm on a Sunday. The sashimi was really fresh and the Nasu Dengaku (baked eggplant in miso paste sauce) was a very pleasant surprise. I'll very much like to be a returning customer.

This restaurant maintains its quality and still an amazing Japanese restaurant. Their sashimi is still amazingly fresh and plenty of choices. Loving their tempura. Not oily and just perfectly cooked and presented. We ordered the sea bass and that was grilled to perfection. Lovely dishes. The staff as usual were attentive yet not instructive. It was a wed night and the love was busy. Tells you something

Popped here one afternoon last week with friends. We had intended on just having a drink (as we had already just had lunch) but could not resist ordering a large plate of sushi to share and some edamame beans. Food was excellent and service friendly and polite. Would definitely come here again for a complete meal.

Absolutely loved this place!!! Excellent food, fairly priced, and service was exceptional, they even provided us with hot water bottles and blankets!! Would definitely come back!

Best Sushi in London - love coming here. Eyad was super friendly and very helpful. Very quickly becoming a regular for my wife and I. Recommend to all

Absolutely love this restaurant! Was the first place we visited post lockdown.The food is authentic and the ambience is amazing.The little section outside is super romantic.They gave us blankets and hot water bottles to keep us warm :)Our server Eyad was really sweet and helpful and made our experience really special.Will be going back again and again!

We just had an amazing dinner at Chisou, where the outside set up was just perfect: beautiful lights, outside heating, blankets, cool music. The food was as usual very good and our waiter, Eyad, was very kind and attentive. We were celebrating our daughter’s birthday who was offered a great surprise desert! We will be coming back very soon.

Came for dinner after lockdown finally lifted, and was welcomed by Chris and Kosuke who looked after my girlfriend and me so well during the night. Ordered nigiri mix, sugoi roll and sashimi omakase. Fish was really fresh and the sushi was well made. Would definitely come back again.

First time visiting Chisou. Food was fanstastic and the service was exceptional (especially from the waiter, Eyad) We especially enjoyed the Aburi Sake Toro Truffle and the Unagi Maki. Furthermore, Eyad was super attentive and friendly, definitely makes my dining experience an enjoyable one! I would definitely recommend this restaurants to my friends

We’ve been here once before and the sushi was so fresh - quality is very high. This time we had a wonderful host Khris who was very attentive and kind. Because of the service this time around, I will definitely come back again!

We didn’t pre- book but was greeted and seated quickly and efficiently. Eyad was amazing, so attentive and polite. Thanks for an amazing night :)

Very good food! Would highly recommend for lunch or dinner. Our waiter Eyad gave us very good recommendations!

Food was great, price was reasonable, and most of all there was great service by Eyad! He gave great explanations and was very attentive. Highly recommend this place, especially for occasions. Came here for a birthday celebration.

It was delighted as usual, The Japanese food serve was amazing. The customer service was excellent, Eyad was attentive and helpful to offer the best selection. A magical last dinner before the lockdown.

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Chisou. Food was amazing & service was brilliant - especially our waiter Ryo - who had excellent suggestions and professionalism beyond his years. Will definitely be back again!

Excellent Izakaya. A very nice and authentic Japanese restaurant situated in a cobbled stone streets with charming tables and heat lamps outside. Great variety of food on the menu and perfectly executed. Highly recommended.

Really great evening. Food was amazing Rio our waiter was brilliant. Thank you Rio for a great evening.

The food was excellent ,friendly staff, my waiter Kris is so nice very funny and she explained the menu to me very well

Great Japanese restaurant, food was delicious, amazing service and special thanks to Chris and Rio who have been amazing and very professional. Would highly recommend.

Food was great and we really felt like we were in Japan. The service was amazing thanks to Chris and Rio! Highly recommend it !!

The sushis were amazing, we had a very great time! Very professional and nice waiters, especially Chris! Will highly recommend this restaurant

Food was very tasty 😋 service was immaculate our waitress who’s name is Chris was very lovely enjoyed every meal served and will definitely come back Once again ask for Chris she will take care of you.

We had an amazing birthday dinner here! The service was amazing, so helpful and polite. The food was outstanding, by far the best sushi I’ve ever had in London (almost identical quality to the food I had in Japan) and well priced considering how great the meal was. Our server, Christian, made our dinner particularly special - thank you! We will be back!!

He estado buscando buena comida japonesa y esta no me decepcionó: el sashimi / omakase para 2 (28 piezas) elegido por el chef, el tataki wagyu y el salmón braseado con trufa estaban deliciosos. El pescado sashimi era muy fresco y uno de los mejores que he probado en Londres (la selección del chef incluía salmón, atún, besugo, lubina, pulpo y sashimi mackeral). Terminamos con el bento de postre que fue suficiente para compartir entre dos!

Gran restaurante, con productos auténticos que los chefs logran combinar en deliciosos platos. La Ensalada Horenso Clásica de Chisou fue absolutamente deliciosa, parece tan simple pero el sabor es tan sofisticado. La calidad del Gyu Tataki está fuera de este mundo (rebanadas de carne) que también fueron marinadas increíblemente. Entonces, por supuesto, la razón por la que fuimos allí fue por el Tonkatsu que no nos ha defraudado en absoluto, al contrario, ¡casi tan bueno como en Japón! :). Tienen cerveza japonesa y una amplia selección de sake (de ahí el nombre Izakaya). El entorno es realmente agradable, trae recuerdos de Japón. Un poco caro, pero definitivamente sabes lo que pagas.

Good food, nice and intimate restaurant but in my opinion bit expensive. In 5 people we left PDS 274.33

An excellent meal all round. Teriyaki beef and chicken dishes and prawn tempura all very good. The chocolate fondant dessert delicious. A must place to visit

Vine aquí para almorzar. El servicio fue rápido y atento. La tempura soba estaba deliciosa, solo un poco de lástima que pusiera toda la tempura crujiente en la sopa, lo que resultó en una pérdida de la tempura crujiente y empapada de inmediato. La guarnición de tofu que pedí también era de alta calidad y deliciosa. Una buena opción para la comida japonesa en bond street / oxford street.

Ronduit een van de beste Japanese restaurant’s in Londen!! Betaalbaar, zeer vriendelijk personeel en aangename zit plaatsen! Ik kom zeker terug :)!!

Vine a este restaurante con mi amigo para celebrar mi cumpleaños y lo pasé de maravilla. El servicio fue insuperable y el personal fue muy acogedor y trabajador. Trabajaron duro para hacer que la experiencia de mis amigos y la mía fuera tan fantástica. Un gran agradecimiento a la gerente Simona que siempre hizo todo con una gran sonrisa incluso cuando le pedí tantas fotos. También nos traen algunos pequeños pasteles y bebidas de cumpleaños que nos encantó. Un gran agradecimiento también a Misae y Audrey quienes trabajaron muy duro y brindaron un servicio encantador y hospitalario. Definitivamente volveremos A ++++

Amazing family experience at one of London‘s very best Japanese restaurants. The standout dishes included the Spinach Salad with spicy prawns and the black cod. The staff are amazing and very family friendly

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. The fish is fresh however the filleting skills are lacking. The slices of sashimi are cut too thick and some of the sashimi were a bit chewy l, particularly the octopus.

Siempre una delicia. Esta fue nuestra primera comida después del bloqueo y no decepciona. El cangrejo de caparazón blando con rollo de trufa es increíble. También obtuvimos algunos de los clásicos nigiri de atún graso y Yellow Tail & Jalapeño que se derriten en la boca. El restaurante tiene un ambiente relajado con un servicio amable y una de las mejores selecciones de sake de la ciudad. Las mesas están bien distribuidas si se tienen en cuenta las medidas de distanciamiento. Espero volver.

Awesome place you feel like you are in Tokyo Been a fan for many years of each venue but Woodstock St my fav ( convenient too) amazing food awesome saki great staff Go there enjoy don’t hold back Fatty tuna butter fish snow crab Yummmmmmmyyyy

Lovely evening meal. Great food well prepared. Beef teriyaki cooked to perfection. Scallop special very tasty. Well worth a visit. No issue with gluten free needs

仕事で利用しました。食材も良く、ドリンクも豊富。今回はランチタイムに西京焼きをチョイス。店内は大勢のお客さんで賑わっています。またロンドンを訪れる際はぜひ利用したい店の一つです。

Wonderful food and brilliant setting. Visited this restaurant with friends and had a set menu for 4. The food was delightful each course extremely tasty. We had a table right next to where the sushi was prepared. Very reasonable price too. I will be returning it was fabulous!!

i have been a very strong supporter of Chisou for over 10 years, in various locations, from beauchamp place, hannover square and woodstock st. i tend to go every week, with friends, clients and family. last Thursday, the head waitress was terribly rude, service has been very bad on the last 4 occasions. the concept of sushi miles is totaly false, we can never redeem. every time i wanted to redeem there was an issue. i am writing this review not because i am just a walk in customer, i am a regular. and it was the last time i enter these premises, i don't agree with staff being rude to customers. i wasn't alone and my guest was terribly shocked by the attitue. it has become such an unfriendly place that i am never ever going back. what a shame ! for an expensive place, at least provide better service for the regulars and non regulars.

Yesterday we had an amazing experience dining at Chisou. Everything since we arrived was surprising and exquisite. We were greeted by the team with a cheerful welcome while Peter was leading us to our table. Since we have some experience in Japanese restaurants and we are always looking for new dishes and tastes we asked Peter for some advise. We had a spinach baby leaf salad that was incredible. The sashimi was spectacular. We tried as Peter suggested the Wagyu beef and the black cod and there the experience went up to the outstanding. We finished with something simple but surprising: a vanilla ice-cream with some drops of a very special and flavoured aged sake. To sum up we had the best dinner ever in a Japanese restaurant out of Japan and mainly because of Peter’s guidance and service. Thank you!

We were delicately welcomed and served by the team and the diner was excellent. Guided by Peter we had a great taste of some of the menu highlights. The food was tasteful and the raw ingredients are outstanding. I truly recommend Chisou to Japanese food lovers and to those who want to discover it. Don’t miss the sake!

Great food and drinks in here. The food was incredible and the pairing with the sake really complimented it. The recommendations from Peter were great.

Having eaten a lot of sushi in the west, this is by far the best Japanese meal I've ever had. Not only was the food amazing, but our waiter Peter (who by the way spoke Japanese perfectly) guided us through the menu and gave us some amazing recommendations as well as sake pairing for every dish. He explained every plate, ingredient and pairing in a way that showed in depth knowledge of the product and preparation. I will definitely come back and order the same things (with Peter's recommendations bore in mind!).

Excellent Japanese restaurant! We had several delicious items but the outstanding one was the Sugoi Maki Chisou rolls - absolutely delicious.

We love Chisou and have been going since they were in the old location. This was our first time in the new venue and overall service and food were very good. We were slightly disappointed of the snow truffle crab maki which comes at nearly £20 and wasn’t tasty at all. Definitely too pricey for what you get. Also I was suprised the restaurant didn’t have a baby changing station thought this was a regulation and being with my 1 year old daughter changing her was a complete challenge! Otherwise the ambience was very nice and the staff were helpful and friendly.

Being a sushi lover, I ensured prior to arriving in London we had somewhere to go for sushi whilst down. Chisou seemed to tick all the boxes. We were greeted at the front door by a lovely older lady who was a great waitress throughout the experience. However, the food was disappointing. For the London price we were paying, I expected a lot more quality and taste. Being from Aberdeen, there are very few sushi places so when we go on holiday we always ensure we try one of the best in the city. My sushi rolls weren’t very big and lacked the taste I was expecting upon reading the menu however they were okay. I have had much better for a much cheaper price elsewhere. We also ordered Wagyu beef skewers which were extremely fatty and over seasoned which is not what you want when paying a premium price for a tastier specific cut of beef. Our total bill was over £100 which I just thought was absolutely ludicrous however we paid as you should and we continued on with our night. Dissatisfied with the food however the waitress and the restaurants layout was great.

Acostumbrada a sushi de fusión este sitio se quedó por debajo de mis expectativas. Me gustó, pero me parece muy caro para lo poco que pedimos. El spicy tuna, altamente recomendable. En general, deberían innovar mas.

Bestilte sashimi og avokadosalat, fikk en liten haug salatblader, 2 biter laks, 1 bit tunfisk, 3 reker og 1/2 mini avokado. Kjempetørt. Maki miks var helt OK, men ikke noe en ønsker å bestille igjen, ikke gode smaker og så heller ikke lekkert ut (ikke lagt opp pent eller pyntet på noe vis). Maten var den dårligste vi hadde under hele ferien, og var den laveste standard sushi vi har spist. Dyrt var det også (ift hva vi fikk).

Great food, Greatest service. The atmosphere is good too:-) We have been there a couple of times, both for lunch and dinner. Bring the kids!

The food was great and all.. Sadly, me and my spouse got food poisoned.. We wouldn't say we got it from this restaurant if we weren't sure where it came from. It ruined our last day in London.

Nothing to fault. Great menu, great quality, great service, authentic design and decent value. The real thing - light....came in through the back entrance off a hidden street, just as you would discover in Tokyo....only to realize climbing up the stairs that this was the tradesman entrance....adds to the atmosphere

This is a very popular Japanese restaurant tucked off Oxford Street. We had some great Sushi and rolls. It's rather expensive given how understated everything is. The restaurant is pretty basic in terms of decor and there isn't much style. The good food was the stand out feature!

Amazing place Cool staff, great food, friendly atmosphere Highly recommended for a dinner and to enjoy a taste of Japan cuisine Chicken dishes are amazing The manager is super helpful and the waitress who served us was the best ever Highly recommend

I loved every bit of my experience eating at Chisou. The staff are very polite and professional, they greeted us in Japanese and made sure that all our needs are satisfied. The food was outstanding - fresh, nicely presented and very delicious! I would definitely recommend it to everyone that want to have an amazing dinner in Central London.

I went to get dinner with friend and I was left with one of the best dinner experiences I had in a while! From the friendly staff ready to help you with your choice to the chefs who are extremely professional and passionate with preparing your food. The food is authentic and phenomenal, everyone in the group was left speechless after they finished with their plate. Your taste buds will thank you after a night out in Chisou Sushi.

quality of the produce was one of the best that i have had in london or pretty much anywhere. really enjoyed the atmosphere, some of the best japanese restaurants in london can be a little too glitzy in their set-up but this was a properly authentic atmosphere.

Nice Asian fusion food. Reasonable quality. Portion is quite small (Japanese style) but lacks the elegance of true Japanese style, while charging at rates of Japanese restaurants. OK for an one-off visit but probably overpriced to attract repeating guests.

Lunch on a busy Friday, no prior reservation. It is one of my wife’s favourite restaurants when she is in London for business, but for me it was my first time in this Chisou. The place looked really busy when we arrived. No problem: warm welcome and we were immediately shown to a table. The tempura was outstanding, and the sashimi world class, but the star of the meal was undoubtedly the Junmai Ginjo sake we chose (Koshi No Kanbai Sai - Blue river). I had never seen such a long list of sakes in a Japanese restaurant ever...(and I have been to many Japanese restaurants in the world including in Japan)

Once again back in London we had an exceptional diner at Japanese restaurant Chisou. Lot’s to choose. Sushi was marvelous; The fatter Tuna and the salmon with black truffle. And the tempura as well as the deep fried chicken plus the surimi was finger licking good. Prices were not cheap but it was worth while. So when shopping at Oxford street look then in Woodstock street for this hidden pleasure.

The fish was decent, but not sure I can give it anymore than 5 stars. I had read very high reviews, but couldn't see or taste the "wow" factor for the life of me.

Very good. Bill can mount up if you over order. Wide choice of Japanese food from sushi and sashimi to tempura an other dishes

This is the second time I’ve been to Chisou Woodstock Street in two weeks. To say I like it is an understatement. This Japanese restaurant is the best in London!

You know you are in a good japanese restaurant when there are japanese people between the customers. I went there today for the first time and I was not disappointed. While the price was a little high, I was pretty satisfied with the quality of the food.

This is a little intimate place with good food and polite service. Somehow it was so intimate and peaceful that you could genuinely enjoy the food in the middle of London.

Fantastisk god mat og koselig lokale. Hyggelige og hjelpsomme servitører. Kjøkkenet lå midt i restauranten og vi kunne se kokkene jobbe bak disken. Vi valgte sushi og shashimi men de hadde også mye annet godt på menyen. Flotte råvarer - vi kommer tilbake neste gang vi er i London.

A tres de nosotros nos gustaba ir japoneses, así que reservamos este restaurante deliciosamente íntimo y delicioso. Los pequeños comedores están en tres pisos diferentes, muy acogedores (¡en el buen sentido!). La comida es absolutamente fantástica, como es el servicio que es amable y eficiente. El sake, un gran menú de sake, también es excelente. Definitivamente no se puede perder.

とても本格的な日本食を食べれるお店。 席数が結構あるので予約無しでもいけると思います。メニューも豊富です。

Very good this place! One better sushi restaurant in London! We loved sashimi and nigiri here. A little bit expensive but good food!!!

Regresé a mi restaurante japonés favorito en Londres después de un año para descubrir que se ha reiniciado en algo que tengo que decir que es aún mejor. Atrás quedó el ambiente temperamental de izakaya, reemplazado por algo mucho más brillante y moderno y un estándar más alto en general.

Su consiglio dell’hotel, ho provato questo ristorantino giapponese dall’atmosfera calda e accogliente. L’arredo è semplice ma carino con sushiman e banco posti al centro del locale. Mi sono seduta al bancone e vedere i sushiman all’opera è sempre una bella esperienza. Il sushi è ottimo. Il tonno e salmone freschi e super gustosi. Il

Var her for andre gang og restauranten leverer topp nok en gang. Veldig god mat veldig hyggelig betjening og topp stemning. Anbefales på det varmeste

Hungry and looking for lunch we saw the menu down an alley and entered not realising we had come in from a back entrance. Got a pleasant surprise when entering the main restaurant area and were delighted with the service and tasty well presented food.

Never had a bad experience in a Japanese restaurant. Chef is not qualified to cook. Agedashi tofu was rock hard and beef was over cooked. Not worth spending over £100 for two without wine. Feel rip off and not a place for cooked food.

A laid back place, with the friendliest of welcomes. Service was just right. The sashimi was very fresh - so tasty, especially the scallops. Lots of other, interesting, different dishes on the menu. The pineapple carpaccio was one of the best desserts I ever tasted.

Chisou simply gets it right - extremely high quality food (the sashimi is sublime) served in a warm, inviting and unpretentious setting...and it’s great value for money to boot! My favourite Japanese restaurant in London and I’ll keep going back.

Brillante lugar para el almuerzo. Llegué sin reservar con un restaurante muy completo y me pidió que se sentara en el bar para ver los procedimientos. Un poco ventoso cuando se abrió la puerta, pero nada de mayor preocupación. Una comida muy agradable tomada con Sake caliente, el Sashimi es perfecto, así como el tempura Yasai que nos recordó nuestro reciente viaje a Japón. Spot en servicio y rematado con helado de macha. ¡Magnífico!

Another outstanding meal at Chisou! It's the first time we've visited the new location and we're really impressed: it feels lighter and more airy than the previous Mayfair location. Service as ever was outstanding and the food itself was absolutely delicious. Very highly recommended.

Food was good but the entire service was extremely slow.

Nice interior with decent sushis but the extremely poor service is what puts me off. We waited ages for somebody to take an order and again waited very long before we could pay. The restaurant was nit crowded at all. Given prices, I would have expected better service.

Amazing restaurant and amazing food. Thank you pauline for the amazing service and Sake recommendation. Will definitely come back!

Visit this place every time I came to London and it never disappointed, lunch or dinner. For people who likes real sashimi this place is a must.

The best sushi place in town, will come back for sure next time when I visit london

Great Japanese restaurant hidden in a back street near Bond Street station. Excellent service and wow the food is first rate

Un menu particolarmente dedicato a delle belle specialità' giapponesi caratterizzate da contenuti innovativi. Servizio impeccabile a prezzi ragionevoli.

Como gran fanático de Maguro Sushi, encontrar un lugar como este que ofrezca no solo selecciones en Atún Extra Extra Extra Graso, sino también en diferentes variedades de Atún (como el Blue Fin) hizo que mi experiencia culinaria fuera adictiva. Me encontré regresando por varios días, solo asegurándome de que la calidad de las diferentes selecciones permaneciera constante. . . Y no imaginario. El servicio también es una experiencia, simplemente ingrese por las puertas y aquí los cantos de bienvenida del chef XD

Superb sashimi and grilled eel. High quality food with good unobtrusive service. Not ridiculously expensive for the quality. A winner.

Been there for a quick shopping break on the take away side of the restaurant. Food is good but for the quantity served I find it pretty expensive. I have enjoyed my quick lunch and my warm sake but regarding the food I found better somewhere else pricewise.

The food was fine, however the service is poor, food waiting time is too long and waiter forgot our requests. Not satisfied at all for the service

Great lunch. Food good, the beef teriyaki over cooked but everything else was very good. Nice and easy lunch

Head sushi chef’s attitude is unpleasant and even our order did not come after 40mins. It was not recommended to anyone!!!

we sat outside, interior looks very pleasant and original.

Beautiful food and ambience recreated at their new location. A wonderful experience.

La situación cambió recientemente. Ahora está en la calle: La dirección de tripadvisor Woodstock es equivocada. El pollo katsu sabía muy bien y extraordinariamente como cerdo. Sin embargo, la col fue tristemente falta esencial desmenuzada. El arroz no sabía como arroz japonés. La nueva decoración del restaurante es muy bonito y parece ordenado y caro. Así que, ¿por qué economizar en calidad de arroz? Es tan extraño para servir la sopa de miso, junto con la ensalada como entrante: no puedo conseguir mi cabeza alrededor de por qué esto es hecho.
