Dozo Sushi in Kensington and Chelsea

Delicious Japanese food, including sushi, tempura and ramen. The Nasu Dengaku is an absolute favourite and on my final meal list as a starter. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was good. I really enjoyed eating in the cubby downstairs. I look forward to next time!

Really fantastic food. We had some very fresh and light tempura, great eel rolls, a house special roll, some lovely temaki. Amazing miso soup 🤤 My only complaint: the sashimi was too thickly cut. Atmosphere is ok, nice, classy, but a little noisy/busy - what you’d expect in South Ken.

A fantastic dining experience! The sushi was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented, with a perfect balance of flavors. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a great meal. The service was attentive and friendly, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend for sushi lovers!

I ordered online - I found hair on my food! It’s The first and last time buying from them!! Disgusting!! 🤢 I will never buy again!! Zero hygiene!!

Great food and vibe. Nice location

Delicious food. Great service. Good ambiance.

Great food, amazing service, staff was friendly and helpful, 10/10 would recommend

My husband and my friends and I always love coming here - I swear this is the best ramen in London. Their portions are large and the decor is so inviting. Please do visit!

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 on weekday evenings, but very relaxed on Sunday afternoon.

The Ramen here is fabulous and such good value for money

We had a memorable dinner at Dozo. Great food, friendly staff, and warm atmosphere. Every dish had obviously been made to order and the sushi was great.

Served by Rachel and Carmen. Food was excellent. Every dish. Highly Recommend. Extensive menu. Used to come here a lot back after some years and really enjoyed it.

Hinj is the best. He should be promoted manager of all dozo’s in the entire world.

Hands down the best Japanese food in town

Best Tonkotsu Ramen in London 😊

Still the top notch Japanese restaurant. Satisfied portion size and good service. Sashimi is Fresh, think cutting and volcano roll was so creamy. Only a little under expectation was the rice a bit broken.

Seafood Ramen was good. Noodle texture a bit soft.

Great sushi place, one of my absolute favourites for the food but service can be lacking. Great atmosphere. Make sure you let them no halal to avoid contamination and alcohol.

We are regulars at Dozo in Soho and have always had a great experience there, so we decided to try Dozo in South Kensington. Unfortunately, this will definitely be our first and last visit. The service was disappointing—our waiter seemed uninterested and unmotivated, almost as if he was doing us a favor by serving us. We also had to wait far too long for our order. As for the food, it was okay, nothing special or memorable. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this location.

We had high expectations for Dozo in South Kensington, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The service was subpar – we waited far too long for our order, and the waiter seemed careless and unwelcoming. The food was fine, but did not worth the wait. Overall, it didn’t live up to the hype, and I wouldn’t recommend it.

I went with friends for dinner. The place is very welcoming, warm and clean. We ordered a bento box each (i.e. a complete plate of rice, miso soup and meat/fish/tofu) and two portions of gyoza. All very good and excellent. I have nothing to complain about. Relatively fast service. Average quality/price ratio. I suggest booking!

Sono stato con amici per cena. Il locale è molto accogliente, caloroso e pulito. Abbiamo ordinato una bento box a testa (ovvero un piatto completo di riso, miso soup e carne/pesce/tofu) e due porzioni di gyoza. Tutto molto buono e ottimo. Non ho nulla da ridire. Servizio relativamente veloce. Rapporto qualità prezzo nella media. Suggerisco di prenotare!

Delicious food, very friendly stuff! Nice designs of the table!

fee is way more than i expected but the food is way more better than i expected as well

The waiter’s attitude is awful!

Went here recently and truly had a magical experience with the food and service 🥰

I ordered Otoro which is meant to be uni and ikura. They charged me £18 and brought a piece of fish. The waiter tried to convince me this piece of unidentified fish is actually uni. I also don’t see any ikura on it but according to the waiter you see sea urchin and red caviar on this photo. Scammers

Sashimi and sake were absolutely amazing, and I will come again!

Fantastic lunch menu, the chicken ramen was our stand out dish, I can not recommend it enough! Lots of staff who are very attentive, I brought my 3 year old daughter, and we were really welcomed and looked after, we can't wait to go back!

Me gusta mucho este restaurante. Me gustan los asientos de estilo japonés. Me gusta el arroz de anguila. Es muy delicioso. La anguila sabe muy bien. La salsa está deliciosa. Me gusta mucho el té verde frío.

Very delicious! The spicy ramen has a lot of beef and the volcano roll is also very good! I finished one volcano roll and one ramen by myself. I was very full. Although it was delicious, it was too expensive! ! !

I like the seating area for some tables where you get to sit on tatami like structure. I went around 1:30pm for lunch and it was very busy, and peaks off around 2pm. I ordered Beef Nabe (or AKA Sukiyaki, hotpot like dish), there was also Pork Nabe, waited for half an hour for food to come. The staffs were friendly and helpful. It was my first time having Sukiyaki, the soup base is soy but sweet, plenty of udon noodles, beef and tofu and little bit of enoki mushrooms and fish cakes. I really liked the udon, chewy and smooth texture, tofu was soft, the beef slices were average, you could dip it in the two sauces provided: the Kewpie mayo or spring onion soy sauce. Overall great heartwarming dish for autumn.

Great place for dinner! Everything was delicious!

Love dining at Dozo, Alex is always so lovely to us and treats us perfectly. Booked a table for 7 and catered for all of us excellently. One of my friends had an egg allergy and the staff made sure to let us know what she could eat as we were ordering plates to share. Food was amazing as usual, love the volcano make and wagyu beef!

Came minutes after the opening with no reservations, but we were lucky to get in. Amazing food. The spicy beef ramen was one of the best i ever had. Variety of Maki rolls with a twist. We had dragon roll and spider. Very delicious. Recommended!

The signature orders were not very good But the normal sushi and maki is good Also salad is very delicious

Crazy service best sushi alex the best

The staff were friendly but I was disappointed by the lack of vegetarian options. Shockingly the veg and meat is fried in the same oil which made it impossible to swap items from the existing menu.

I had an incredible dining experience at Dozo London! The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The sushi was fresh, perfectly crafted, and truly some of the best I've ever had. The service was outstanding; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. If you're looking for a fantastic sushi spot in London, Dozo is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Best Japanese food in South Kensington

The food was great especially for the Volcano Maki rolls and Dragon rolls. Tempura also tasted sooo good. Nice service and cozy atmosphere❤️

I almost never comment on restaurants but I had to write this review because it was the worst paid dinner experience of my life. Me and my sister visited the place and ordered edamame, unagi roll, green tea ice-cream and hot green tea. Afterwards I tried to order some drinks because I had a stomach upset from earlier and not feeling well, but my request to have a menu was declined and we were handed over the bill. When I told them we did not ask for the bill yet the waiter told us they booked the table for another people and now we have to "pay the bill and leave now" because there was a queue of people on the door. We were there merely 30 minutes and not ready to leave. Abhorrent business practice. To be fair; I will rate their food and atmoshpere as well. Their unagi roll was falling apart in a sauce and it tasted worse than average. Same quality goes with the ice cream as well. Edamame was OK because you can't really mess it up, can you? Regarding the athmosphere, I gave 2 stars rather than one because the premises was poorly lit, therefore we could not exacty see the slop we were eating. So thanks for that at least. Keep on serving low quality food and treat your customers like theme park visitors and you'll lose your audience sooner or later. Absolutely not recommended.

Small cramped place. Worst service ever, booked a table for 19:00, made us wait in the draught for 15 mins when it was 5 degrees outside claiming that the people at our table were paying. Worst co-ordination ever. The waiter then took a picture of us, and showed his mates behind the counter and made fun of us. We made him delete it and left disgusted. Horrified that I even considered eating at this dump.

Pasamos a dar un paseo en el almuerzo para ser recibidos por un personal masculino bastante desdeñoso, no interesado. 2 personas y un bebé de 9 meses. Aprecio que el lugar puede no estar diseñado para sus familias como la nuestra, pero todavía se puede manejar de una manera amable y acogedora. El camarero no podría haber sido más desdeñoso, claramente molesto y molesto por nuestra solicitud. Finalmente nos mostró una mesa disponible, apuntándola como si "aquí tienes, a ver si te funciona" y se alejó. Él no hizo ningún esfuerzo para acomodar bien y podría simplemente haber explicado de una manera amable que el diseño del restaurante no era amigable para bebés. En cambio, nos hizo sentir que tenía mejores cosas que hacer que tratar con nosotros. Salimos del restaurante después de averiguar que podía funcionar con nuestro bebé, el camarero ni siquiera trató de mirarnos salir o decir adiós o cualquier tipo de palabra hospitalaria. La comida puede ser genial, no sé, ya que no tuvimos la oportunidad de probarlo, pero francamente no estoy convencido de que alguna vez probaría si se sirve con actitud negativa.

Fantastic service, loved the food, great atmosphere. We had sushi, but I saw others having ramen, and I can't wait to return to try that!

¡Elegancia discreta! Personal amable y profesional. Deliciosa comida. Gran punto de precio. ¡Comida perfecta! Mi marido y yo visitamos durante nuestra estancia en la zona para una comida improvisada. Íbamos a tomar una comida para llevar cuando vinimos a pedir vimos el restaurante y decidimos tener una comida relajada. Nos alojaron ya que no teníamos una reserva y parecía relativamente ocupado. El ambiente es perfecto y también tienen mesas de aspecto bajo hábilmente colocado. Pedí el pollo picante Ramen y una cerveza Asahi. Mi marido pidió vino y pollo Katsu Curry y comentó lo deliciosas que eran las zanahorias dentro del plato. Ambos platos estaban perfectamente condimentados con porciones generosas, tanto que a regañadientes no pudimos terminar nuestros platos. Sin duda volvería a visitar y ya que nos recordó a nuestros restaurantes japoneses favoritos en Nueva York! Un lugar de visita obligada! Gracias 👌🏽💕🤤

What a terrible experience! I will never come again. Such a poor compulsory consumption!!

Very good service .Ken is very good and funny .Fantastic service and food

My favourite local restaurant in south Kensington!!

The food was tasty and the staff nice. Unfortunately, the chicken ramen contained quite a sizeable moth. We were not charged for the dish at the end of the lunch. This was likely just an unfortunate incident, but I'm afraid one star is in order.

The service is terrible. food good though

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

The taste is very good and the service is also good

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

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!

La mejor y más original comida japonesa que he comido. Presentación y originalidad que uno puede esperar en el propio Japón

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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~

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

Really good restaurant, affordable prices and amazing taste！

Great value of money, the bento box is great!

Good! Nice food and environment.

It’s really good!! All delicious~

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

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.

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 🤩

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

Excellent place. Multi flavors and delicacies. Highly recommended.

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!!
