Dozo Sushi in Kensington and Chelsea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The Volcano maki and Dragon maki was amazing food !! She is very friendly and patiently helped me order my food

Nice Japanese restaurant in this area! Good price and decent food. Love the atmosphere here!

The taste is very good and the service is also good

Really enjoyed this restaurant. The basement level really feels like you're in Japan. The sushi is good, not great but the service and atmosphere really stand out!

We adore Dozo! It's genuinely one of the best Japanese spots around SW London - consistently great food, very fair pricing for fresh fish and the staff are absolutely professional, friendly and welcoming! The lunch deal is a particular favourite, but we have come for many dinners and it's always a win! Highly recommend the hand rolls, rock shrimp tempura, and spider maki. Support local businesses!

Amazing, and don’t miss the volcano 😍😍😍

What a fantastic place for some nice authentic food in a beautiful atmosphere! Ask to sit downstairs it was very enjoyable!

The best and most original Japanese food I have ever eaten. Presentation and originality that one may expect in Japan itself

A great Japanese restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised! And the waiter’s attitude is very good. They have a lot of foie gras dishes! It’s something you rarely see in the UK. I highly recommend the eel rice and sashimi platter, as well as the foie gras hand rolls! Delicious 😋

It’s a very good Japanese food in London. The ingredients are very fresh. I recommend the volcano roll.

Ken was the best. He helped me choose what i should eat and the food was incredible.

Ken was the best. The best service i have ever had. I eat out everyday in all sorts of restaurants. He knows how to make people happy

Phenomenal food and atmosphere. Some of the best sushi I’ve had in London. When visiting London this is a must stop in a walkable and fun area. We’ll be back again!

If you come to London and stay in South Kensington, DOZO is a Japanese restaurant worth visiting. The interior has a Japanese style, and it is very popular, but even without a reservation, the wait is not long. We stayed for ten days and ate there twice. If you like Asian Japanese cuisine, their ramen, fried rice, and hot pots are highly recommended. Kids who like Japanese ramen will also love it. It is especially suitable for the rainy and cloudy weather in the UK. If you want to have some hot soup, I highly recommend here. If you don't get a chance to eat here, the other restaurants on the same street are also very good. So far, we have liked all of them. If you come to London, if you live in South Kensington DOZO is a Japanese restaurant worth visiting. The interior of the restaurant is very Japanese-style, and business is very good, but you won’t have to wait too long even if you don’t have a reservation. We stayed for ten days and ate twice. If you like Asian and Japanese food, then this restaurant has ramen, fried rice and The pot dishes are all worth trying, and children who like Japanese ramen will also like it very much. It's especially suitable for the rainy and cloudy British weather. If you want to drink hot soup, you can consider this restaurant. If you haven't tried it at this restaurant, other restaurants on the same street are also very good. I like it so far.

Amazing amazing night! Had Ken and Kitt as servers and they were so so lovely, treated us like family and were very funny and helpful! Been many times before and always amazing, will be back again. Food is affordable and so tasty as always! 😁

Given the price and taste, I wouldn't recommend the place in general, there are way better alternatives

Food is good but service is not that great.

The most delicious sushi I’ve eaten in a while

Everything was delicious, cozy atmosphere. Waiters were great hosts

It was our first time here and it was amazing. The price point is still reasonable knowing it is located in South Kensington. We got a good selection of food. The Unagi don was soooo soft (but still have to be careful of the little bones), the Spicy Ramen and Tori Yaki Ramen had good amount of flavour and noodles, and the sushi was generous on the topping. The restaurant itself it was aesthetically pleasing. Definitely recommend this place!!

Our favorite ramen in London!!!! So delicious

Dozo is an excellent Japanese restaurant with outstanding dishes like the beef sukiyaki and soft shell crab salad. The volcano sushi and drinks are also exceptional, making it a great place to enjoy Japanese cuisine

The eel fried rice and sashimi platter are incredibly delicious, with great freshness and texture. The volcano sushi and mocktails are also great

The atmosphere in the restaurant was warm. Serving from Kitt and Leon was exceptional - they really made our visit special. Will definitely be returning again!

We were greeted by Rachel upon arrival and she was extremely polite and very smiley. She was very attentive and came to take our order swiftly. When the food came, it was well presented and tasted fantastic. I have tried most Japanese places in London, from Nobu to Zuma to Ikeda to Novikov and the sashimi @ dodo is by far the best. Highly recommend this little gem in the heart of South Ken.

We were taken care off by Rachel. Felt so welcomed explained the menu and made amazing recommendations.

Great food and service :) have been here multiple times and always love the sushi and cocktails. All staff are really nice and friendly.

Food came very late, have ordered bento, katsu curry. Rice was absolutely disgusting.. tembura was pathetic. Not cruntch at all just pure oil. It was horrendous. Asked staff to take service charge out, which is ONLY OPTIONAL, I’ve been aksed WHY. Lol Then She and her colleauge were speaking in their language right after I made payment. Pathetic food pathetic service. I was expecting this place like soho branch but no where near.

Lovely little place for lunch, felt really authentic with the art inside and the (I don't know the right terms) built up platform that you sit on with the pit under the table for your legs. The staff were all friendly, service was very prompt, and most importantly our ramen was delicious

The best sushi restaurant in London! Thank you Leon, you are so kind and professional. I came twice today :)

It's a delightful Japanese restaurant; I enjoy my meals at Dozo, especially because of Ken's exceptional service.

I recently dined at Dozo and had a great experience. The food was excellent, especially the sushi. Ken, our server, was fantastic, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Dozo and suggest asking for Ken.

Fantastic service from Ken! Highly recommended

Their products are something you can blind spot and won’t step into any trap. The environment is nice and has a Japanese food atmosphere. I highly recommend both the taste of the ingredients and the environment. In my mind, the overall score is very high, and the photos are also very nice. laugh

Very good! Not sure why the overall rating isn’t higher!

The ingredients are very fresh and the salmon is very tender. I really like the fire sushi roll and the eel rice and the sukiki pot, which is really delicious and steaming hot

Imperial college canteen hahahaha. The volcano roll is super delicious, and all shrimp-related sushi and tempura are super delicious. Especially sister Rachel’s smile is very gentle~

Good! Nice food and environment.

Really good restaurant, affordable prices and amazing taste！

Great value of money, the bento box is great!

It’s really good!! All delicious~

Even though the restaurant lacks of room, the atmosphere, the staff and the cuisine are excellent. Proportions are more than enough and so tasty ! Many thanks to Carmen and Ken for their warm welcome and service.

very kind staff, they were always there if we needed anything. went there for my birthday and the food was so delicious and they even have mochi and cheesecake. the spicy beef ramen is out of this world. would to there again 10/10

I Really enjoy my food here excellent service and food, well manners staff(ken) all r very helpful I strongly recommend this

Quite and nice space to enjoy the delicious food! Highly recommend volcano rolls 🤩

Excellent place. Multi flavors and delicacies. Highly recommended.

Delicious food, I could come every day! Very friendly and professional attention!! Recommended! Don't miss the opportunity to share with Ken and Carmen

Good food good service nice people ken is nice man

Visited this restaurant and had a great talk with the manager Rachel. She’s so friendly and lovely :) It’a also such a coincidence that she’s also a Malaysian!!

Best sushi restaurant in south kensington! A must visit if you’re around!

I don't know what the bad behavior reviews are for. I've been going to this restaurant for a year now and every time we leave with a total satisfaction. The staff the food the atmosphere is just beyond perfection. I would also like to add that Ken served us the last time we went and it was great meeting him. He is very sweet and nice just like the rest of the team working there. Would definitely recommend this place!!

Typical and traditional cuisine, very good! Expect a little wait during rush hour Highly recommended to anyone looking for real Japanese food

very nice food and service. the queue is long but worth a wait. Food is fresh and delicious.

The Volcano Roll is a must try. Great quality, hygiene and the atmosphere of the downstairs area is incredible.

Eggshell in my takeaway donburi bowl, I called up and got told “there’s nothing we can do” unless you take a photo of it. I couldn’t as I was disgusted so was already thrown away by that time. The beef was also overcooked. If support was better and a refund had been given I wouldn’t have approached it this way.

Very good service even gave me complimentary desert alec the manager the nicest man I met and the service was excellent.

Really cosy atmosphere, very intimate setting with decent slightly overpriced sushi.

The best sushi I have had in London, staff also very polite and friendly they found us a table despite us arriving late. Will definitely be returning! Thank you

It tastes very good. Very classic Japanese ingredients. Especially the eel rice is delicious.

Witnessed a neighbouring table of 3 ordered at least 15-20 minutes late but had their bentos ready even a few minutes earlier than my single and simple donburi… Also a noisy place to go, tested 80+ dB on my phone.

Very friendly atmosphere and pleasant setting with candles, soft lighting and little music. I didn't know what to get (not being used to such a diverse menu) so I asked a waitress for some recommendations and I went for tempura makis, it was delicious! The prices are a little high but it's worth a try.

Not only my favourite sushi restaurant but my favourite restaurant in London ! Amazing food and service along with an aesthetic atmosphere!

Absolutely amazing. Our favourite Japanese in London! It’s always busy and there’s a reason for that. Amazing good and service!

Delicious food and amazing service from Ken.

The children were amazed by this very cozy place. Tasty food for a very reasonable price at lunchtime.

So nice sushi place in South Kensington! We order a lot. Nice sushi and skewers! The service is 10/10. Definitely will come here again!

Excellent pricing for the food, it is very rare to see such quality of foods with cheap price as 11 pounds in lunch menu, would gantry visit again! Recommend: Lunch Dozo Sashimi Set

Always excellent food at this lovely little Japanese restaurant. Waiting staff are friendly. A range of dishes and prices which are keen (especially given the location) but turnaround is quick so not a place to linger.

Food is so yummy!! The service is 10/10!! Best Japanese food is the best I’ve ever had in London! Everyone needs to check them out!!!

I previously gave this place 5 stars, but since the past year has gone by this place has seriously deteriorated. Food has gone down hill. Service is not great, atmosphere sucks. Won’t be going here ever again… such a shame because I always loved this place 😞

I LOOOOOOOOVE THIS PLACE! GOD DAMN ITS GOOD! Wayyyyyyy Better than Nobu Or Novikov What’s even better is it’s a third of the price of those places

I always came here for beef nabe it makes me feel warm🍲

This is the second time I have been here, the service is very good, and the dishes are very appetizing, and they are also fresh and delicious❤️

The food here is exceptional. I mean it really blows you away. The place itself however is so tired and in need of refresh it’s tragic. There is a real chef in there somewhere producing memorable dish after memorable dish.

Great food and excellent service !

Best food and super welcoming staff!! Definitely go to Dozo if you want to have great sushi.

Delicious food, definitely recommend this restaurant for a lovely evening.

Best Japanese cuisine I’ve had in London! A wide range selection of authentic sushi nigiri and sashimi, the ingredients were fresh and high quality. Volcano Maki was tasty, strongly recommend. Also equipped with good atmosphere inside, people here were friendly, we spent a great time here for our dinner.

Excellent service; staff were super friendly and hospitable. Food was amazing too!!! Will 100% be coming back

Had dinner at Dozo and it was pretty solid. The Wagyu was tender, and they nailed the flavor. Blue fin nigiri was fresh, definitely a win. Uni and the sake sashimi were the kind of good that makes you wanna order seconds. It’s a chill place with some seriously good eats. I’d say give it a go if you’re around.

Very friendly environment. The food is delicious. The staff always smile and very entertaining. They make my night so enjoyable.

Come to Dozo for lunch with a friend. The staff is friendly. My friend is a vegetarian and the staff will recommend food suitable for vegetarians. Also the salmon sashimi is very fresh!!! I will come back again!!

Dining at this restaurant was transformed into an exceptional experience thanks to Leon. His attentive service was nothing short of spectacular, anticipating our needs with a warm, genuine smile that made us feel truly special. Leon's knowledge of the menu helped us make perfect choices, and his recommendations were spot-on, enhancing our culinary journey. His professionalism and enthusiasm for his work shone brightly throughout the evening, making it a memorable one. Anyone lucky enough to be served by Leon is in for a treat; his remarkable service truly sets the standard.

Great food. Service was impeccable. Honestly one of the best food I’ve ever had in years. The waiter was very kind and offered us the best suggestions

Great food in Dozo South Kensington with great service. All staff were so polite and considerate and made the experience great! 100% recommend and will be back many times!

Amazing service and food! Food came fairly quickly and there are a few vegetarian options too. Matcha tiramisu was wonderful. Would recommend it to a friend.

We come twice a year in average with hospital appointments and the lunch menu never seems to fail! Great benzo 🍱 boxes and incredibly reasonable sushi 🍣 with cost effective drinks. As always we will be back and thankyou for being so accommodating with children

Great food with great sushi, hard to find such a nice place in the UK

Nice food and good stuff i will come back at the next time

amazing food!! the decor is incredible with chic traditional decor which is very cozy. The staff were prompt and very friendly!!

I used to be a Japanese chef. So I always order some food that I know well, so I don’t step into any trap. When I see a lot of negative comments, I can only say that everyone’s taste buds are different.

Amazing service, amazing staff!!!

Staff very friendly, food is nice and sashimi is very fresh.

Always come here and always will

Exceptional food and very nice staff 🤗

Nice place and delicious sushi .

We went for lunch. The lunch menu is a really excellent price and the food was delicious. As a vegan, I think the bento box and some side dishes are the few options available, it would be great if in the future there might be a vegetarian ramen available 😁 Service was nice and quick, we appreciated the staff. They had a lot of customers which is always a good sign! We will definitely come again, thank you!

Stumbled upon this gem late one evening and had the chirashi don, tempura udon and sushi roll I forgot the name of. The sashimi was fresh and delicate, sushi roll was exquistely presented and the matcha & black sesame ice cream was the icing on top of the cake (no pun intended!) Would recommend for anyone looking for a intimate and ambient dining spot for Japanese cuisine, for date night, family dinner or with friends. The food, service and environment was all perfect and would definitely come back again!

A friend wanted a Japanese dinner and I found Dozo. We enjoyed Edamame Beans, Tempura no Mariwase, Gyoza, Mini Pork Belly Kebabs and Temake Rolls which were too much! It all arrived very quickly and was delicious. Service was helpful and efficient. We’d love to return.

Such a great place! Nice food, super friendly staff. Definitely will come back. 👍
