Endo in Hammersmith and Fulham

La noche que asistimos a Edo mismo no estaba funcionando, lo que inmediatamente quitó el brillo de la noche. La comida era buena y admiraba la compra artesanal por el precio que esperaba que fuera mejor de lo que era. Tal vez sea mejor cuando Edo está allí.

Me and my partner were very excited about this restaurant considering the reservation time (we booked in March for May. This was as their reservations must be booked at least 1-2 months in advance, and I do not blame them. Situated above the old Television Centre in White City, the 12 seats provide a panoramic view across the city. The decor was simple yet elegant. In terms of service, this was by far the most attentive service we have ever experienced. From the moment we entered, we were welcomed and looked after up until we left the restaurant. I cannot praise the staff more. For the dining experience, Endo and his team made sure the atmosphere was just right, we were transported away from the busy London life and fully immersed with the 22 courses. The ingredient was also fresh- emphasis on fresh, all the pieces of fish tasted great and flavourful. There were also luxury toppings such as caviar and truffles which were also an added bonus, but considering the price, it is expected. I honestly cannot praise this restaurant more and would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves sushi!!

At least five or six times during an exquisitely entertaining and enjoyable evening, we tasted food that made us think we’d died and gone to heaven. So many of the pieces of sushi were explosions of pure joy in our mouths. My husband and I had incredibly high expectations for our visit, yet we both agreed they were not just exceeded but blown away; we were unanimous it was both the best meal/food and dining experience of our lives. Endo’s passion for his homeland, the finest ingredients, and an exceptional, authentic Japanese experience shines through. Attention to detail is exceptional - the care with which Endo sources ingredients and passion for storytelling makes this an experience as well as a meal. The restaurant doesn’t open if Endo isn’t there: you’re guaranteed to get the experience with the master himself. And why does that matter? His mastery of this cuisine is unmatched in London. The flavours, the quality of the fish and ingredients… everything is sublime. We especially enjoyed the tuna “business card” and scallop nigiri but so many courses / bites were exceptional it’s hard to call our favourites without calling out almost the entire menu. With so many outstanding establishments to try in London there are only a handful of restaurants we make an effort to return to return to. Endo is worth every last effort to secure the reservation - it’s an experience and culinary moment you’ll savour for a long time afterward. To our minds it’s hard to understand how this hasn’t been awarded at least a second star (have the inspectors struggled to make a reservation?!) - for us it would sit as a peer alongside any three star establishment. Bravo.

One of the best food experiences I have had in London. The team are charming, the location stunning and the food is near to perfection.

This is much more than food. This is a few hours of happiness, pure relaxation and sensory pleasure in the hands of a confident and kind master of his art. One of the best meal experiences of my life and as much of a a highlight as my first visit. Bravo.

As somebody else said how this only has 1 Michelin star is beyond me. Absolute incredible experience, super intimate setting, fun sushi master and staff and top notch service. Almost feels like you are in someone's living room just eating incredible food Many unique ingredients and stories around the ingredients and how they were sourced and how Endo's journey evolved. Amazing variety of food and a great atmosphere. Loved how you switched to the smaller bar area for the sweets after the main dishes. Endo is a true master and Casper the team just work flawlessly together, excellent in all regards. Food was obviously top notch but loved the "simple" nigiri sushi the most. Heavy on the bill but as expected. Will be back as this is one of the best food experiences you can have in London
