Ginza St. James's in City of London, Westminster

Afternoon tea with red letter day voucher We were warmly greeted and taken to our table where we were made very welcomed and were given the afternoon tea menu. Our waitress Veronika showed us the selection explaining origin and flavours and was very attentive. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. It was all very fresh, flavoursome and also lovely presented. The afternoon tea ended with matcha tea presented at the table. What we also greatly appreciated was that we were told at the end, when I asked whether there was anything to pay, that service charge is payable only if we choose to do so. Of course we paid as we felt that the service charge was well deserved by everyone, especially Veronika. It’s refreshing that it was presented as an option as most places we have been to insist and sometimes the service, especially when using a voucher can be lacking. Not here! We loved every minute and will be back.

Wonderfull place with lovely staff (almost over pleasing) The teppanyaki chefs ware great! The food is nice, quite pricey for what you get though and I missed the soy sauce on the side. Overall a great expirerence.

We had the most delicious afternoon tea at Ginza today. It was a beautiful twist on the classic experience, with wonderful food and drinks. Each dish was thoroughly explained and we finished with matcha tea made at the table with complete description of the benefits and traditions. A special shout out to Veronica, who made our experience very special and couldn't do enough for us! We will definitely be heading back for cocktails and teppenyaki soon!

Amazing experience! Great food and drinks selection and the staff was lovely and knowledgeable they provided incredible service. The food is very savoury and the signature cocktails are incredible. We will return soon!

The food was small for such a big price, I did the ginza that costed 125pounds and it was sooo bad for its price. The cooked salmon was a weird sauce that was sweet with peas. And I waited about 4hours to finish the Ginza and my family bought a lot of other stuff that wasn't worth it. I went to a different Japanese shop called Sushioen around Whitechapel and it was 10x better for a third of the price . Overall a horrible experience
