Humble Chicken in City of London, Westminster

Completely amazing! The food was exquisite and meticulously presented. Simply stunning, I want to eat it all again. The team were fantastic, so attentive, and go above and beyond. Such a special place, I will recommend to everyone, and we will be back again. Thank you!

Have been lucky enough to visit here twice, once in September 2024 for the omakase menu and then again in January 2025 for the yakitori menu. Food was sensational both times, delicious and filled with creative surprises (I particularly enjoyed the tuna noodles). The yakitori was executed to perfection - tender, juicy and crispy. The space is cosy but comfortable, and the playlist is a lot of fun (no bland muzak here!). Finally, a special shout out to the purin pudding - can’t think of a better way to end a meal. Hope to be able to go back again soon!

My first Michelin-starred experience, and it was absolutely amazing! The food was not only exquisite in taste but also a masterpiece of presentation, reflecting incredible attention to detail. The staff's impeccable service and genuine care elevated the entire evening, making it a culinary journey I’ll cherish forever.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Interesting and different, it was a delicious culinary journey. Will be going back.

This place has been great through and through! Not your usual omakase obviously, but great food and quality. The attention to detail and plating is amazing. The open kitchen is really entertaining and the mix of music between pop, old school and kpop was so good! The portions are quite generous so it was really filling, but we loved everything. My only negative is probably the dessert which was too bitter for me, otherwise great!

Everything was delicious, from the start to the finish. I was impressed by the attention to detail in each dish. Many elements were nicely executed. The foie gras was like an indulgent savoury ice cream, and the beef tartare with the smoked quail eggs was cleverly put together. Their take on the sukiyaki was a little anticlimactic though. Why the 4 stars? Despite the great food and impeccable service, I expected more dishes to incorporate grilled elements to truly showcase their binchotan grill. Only a few dishes had something grilled, which is a shame because the binchotan grill gives amazing flavour, and not many places in London have that facility. I also expected more chicken dishes that would pay homage to Humble Chicken’s yakitori roots. I appreciate the owner/execuitve chef experimenting with this modern concept, but I would love to see more dishes that stick to its roots, especially since the place is still carrying the same name. As an Asian food lover, many of these flavours were familiar to me. If he had gained recognition for his yakitori, why not take that to the next level? Toilet was also a little scruffy for a Michelin restaurant.

Exceptional food, service, and... eye-watering price! I wish prices were a little more affordable, so that it could become a few times a year treat, instead of once every 5 or 10 years!

We dined here with the 15 course and humble pairing (wines and sakes). Let me preface this review by saying the food was amazing, it offered an international selection of ingredients very well put together that resulted in a very pleasing dinner. The staff was lovely and very knowledgeable. I’d like to explain this low score by mentioning this was our first experience in a Michelin star establishment, naturally we held high 360 expectations that were unfortunately not met. The atmosphere was simply disappointing, the music played along the night failed to meet the culinary originality, it was a “top hits 2023” featuring artists such as drake or Justin Bieber. The restroom was a disgrace, there was urine on the floor and toilet and the paper roll was empty, this applies to both gents and ladies, I’ve seen pub toilets in a healthier state. We still had a few courses to go but that didn’t stop the staff from opening after work drinks while soaping up the surfaces to get an early close. This will not be our last experience in a Michelin star establishment as we still seek to experience a high standard dinner, I hope the humble chicken owners rethink the privilege it is to hold a star and keep on making adjustments for the respect of this culture.

Amazing experience you must go and try! 10/10

One of the best dining experiences ever. It was a great fusion of Japanese, European, and fine dining. The Sukiyaki, for example, is a dish of change and motion. Chef Sato re-defined this motion by having a coated yolky egg in the middle where the flow of yolk after cutting creates the sense of motion. Really well-executed conceptually.

Great experience, good food, good service. Very memorable…will be back 😊

Currently, the best restaurant in London! Period!

Delicious! Start to finish, each dish was really unique and delicious. You expect to not like 1 or 2 dishes but I was really impressed with the depth and variety of flavours of everything. They also have a non alcoholic pairing as well as a wine/sake pairing, which is a nice touch. The service was really rhythmic, each person was so lovely and attentive. We will definitely be booking again.

Absolutely the BEST dining in London!!! Very lucky to visit twice during my trip for Omakase & then Yakitori Sato. Every course was amazing in taste, flavor & presentation. I still dream about many of the dishes esp the Wild Mussel (beautiful prezo!), foie gras, chawanmushi, shokupan, little piggy 🐷 (adorable!!), wagyu & desserts. Chef Angelo's creative brilliance shines in the imagery of each course. Yakitori Sato was so elevated & flavorful beyond any similar dishes I've had til now. I'm afraid my go-to yakitori eats in hawaii & sf will not measure up after this incredible dinner. I think I just need to return to HC. Chef and team provided exceptional service, very nice/engaging and welcoming. Luv the Playlists 🎵 - makes the entire experience fun and relaxing hang w friends. Dined at several Michelin restaurants during my time in UK & Humble Chicken 🐔 is BY FAR my favorite meals in a very long time. Interestingly enough - at these other starred restaurants the diners were recommending Humble Chicken to fellow diners which just shows how their talent, style, creativity & fantastic service have impressed & amazed us all. Go. Just go.

This was the first time I had their tasting menu for lunch on a Saturday. For what they presented, £135 was well worth it.

Every touchpoint we experienced with this restaurant was fantastic. The Humble Chicken team were great The food was well presented, interesting and varied. (A bucket of the sardine on seaweed cracker for me please) Well thought out drinks pairing too. A v enjoyable and indeed memorable meal.

Absolutely an amazing experience on November 28th at this London Soho gem! From the opening broth to grated frozen tangerine, every taste was exquisitely prepared, presented, and explained. My party thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the staff, and hats off for the music selection!

My friend and I always come to Humble Chicken for celebrations. Thanks for the team for giving my friend the best Birthtday celebration and accommodated all the requests that I put on the note at the booking. Yakitori is one of our favourites. Chef Sato’s precision to food is simply amazing. The team is very professional but also fun to talk to at dinner. They always remember the food that we like. The champagne and orange wine are my personal favourites. Quality of food and services is always consistent and outstanding. Highly recommend.

It is beyond me how a restaurant can be so complete. The second we entered the restaurant we were incredibly welcomed with the joyful atmosphere and the staff being the best I have seen in any Michelin star restaurants I have been to. They were extremely professional while remaining incredibly nice and caring. The variety of the food, exceptional mastery of different ingredients by the chef and the presentation of the dish makes me mind boggled of how this restaurant only has 1 Michelin star. In the Michelin restaurants I have been to I have always had at least one or two dishes I didn’t like but here moving to the next dish was like a divorce for my taste buds of the wonderful flavor I had just encountered. On top of all of these things the song choice was amazing and helped with combining hearing with tasting. By far the highlight of my stay in London and definitely will be sending everyone I know here 😁

Humble Chicken is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome. The menu begins perfectly with a chicken soup for the soul, laying the foundation for a meal where every bite was an explosion of flavours. The chef’s table experience was a delight, offering a front-row seat to the chefs’ artistry. The liver with persimmons under crushed almonds was an absolute highlight, while the beef tartare served on pines was both visually stunning and delicious. And the little baos? So adorable! Humble Chicken is a must-visit for anyone who loves bold, thoughtful, and beautifully executed food.

Good, but not great. Enjoyed the food here but didn’t blow me away. I was told the lunch menu isn’t as extensive as the dinner menu. Hard to justify a repeat visit with so much competition in the direct vicinity, let alone the city. Service was very friendly.

Uber delicious! 😍 Staff is very attentive, friendly and profissional. You must go!

We had a lovely experience at Humble Chicken. The food and drink pairing was lovely and the service and attention from the members was absolutely amazing. Our main interaction was with Kiki - she was polite, fun and knowledgeable. Humble Chicken is a place that's hard to leave :-)

What a lovely staff, in addition to the food, specialized drinks, and music/ambience. The team creates an unforgettable experience for each customer, and truly shows they love what they do. Bravo!

Amazing! One of the best meals we've had in London. Thank you HC team!! We will be back!

Thoroughly enjoyed dinner here - the food was brilliantly executed, all flavours and textures worked really well from start to finish. And the whole team I super pleasant and thoughtful. Humble but very mighty chicken!

Honestly Humble chicken is great! I’ve been here a few times now and knew it back when they had the yakitori menu! Recent menu is fire, I won’t spoil it as it’s a must try in Soho for a casual with a mate or a fancy with a date! Cheffing team are exceptional, they all know their stuff about the food and will give you attentive service that leaves you feeling pretty special! Enjoy Humble chicken, will keep going back again to see what the team come up with next!

Outstanding restaurant - exquisite and talented food, and the wine pairing was a fascinating addition. Great service from the whole team. A joyful experience all round

Had a dinner EXPERIENCE here the other night. Was a solo diner travelling from overseas and wanted to try one of London’s Michelin restaurants. Was a bit nervous but the vibe was very chill and staff were welcoming and accommodating. Every dish served was an experience and so much variety. My faves were the Mum’s Favourite (chestnut dumpling soup), the Shime Saba, Foie Gras, A5 Wagyu and Shokupan bread, butter and condiments (literally a picnic). The service is well paced but I started to get really full after the tuna tartare and couldn’t finish my sukiyaki. I also did the non-alcoholic drink pairing (which I would definitely recommend to enhance the experience). Some were cocktails that are on their menu. My faves were the Pear & Smoke and Jasmine Martini. The person who created them shared how he came up with the recipe. The vibe is really chill with a nice playlist. Staff were very attentive, professional and engaging. I wish I got their names, but the lady with the blue-dyed hair and the man who created the drinks were excellent! I’m so glad I went. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a very chilled/non-judgement solo fine dining experience.

The service was unprofessional and chaotic: the chefs' hair was untied and they wore rings while cooking. Within 5 minutes of confirming the allergies/preferences list, the waiter brought me the dishes containing the above foods. The food is then simply dug up and returned to the table. I can't believe this is the standard of service at a Michelin restaurant. The food itself was ridiculously seasoned, and due to non-subjective lateness (which was confirmed to the restaurant in advance) only five courses were served for the entire meal. The first of these is savoury and scary, the second contains confirmed no-go items, and the third is a buffet breakfast in a business hotel, where at least you have a choice. The fourth "dish" and the fifth lead directly to dessert. Your stomach is only 3/10 full after eating everything. It's hard to imagine you'd experience that at a Michelin. Not to mention the mandatory deposit that makes the meal feel like an extortion scam: it's either 180 pounds for nothing, or a three-hour ride to the rape of taste buds and satiety.

Was easily one of the best meals I've ever had, accompanied with incredible service and a buzzing atmosphere.

I have now eaten at humble Chicken many times and it just gets better every time. The team offer the best and most personal service I have ever experienced. Every course of the Omakase tasting menu is packed full of flavour, beautifully plated and blends Japanese and European influences seamlessly. The drinks pairings are also a real journey all coming with an incredibly detailed story and enhances every dish brilliantly. A once in a lifetime experience that I’ve been lucky to enjoy several times.

Humble Chicken is a fantastic restaurant. The food is superb and the its presentation is utterly exquisite. The service matches the quality of the food. Some of the recommended sakes were delicious and spectacularly varied. In short you will have a wonderful evening.

Tasting menu was a 12 course meal, the food was absolutely amazing, couldnt fault any of the foods, 10/10. The experience is one of a kind, felt like I was on holiday even though I live in London. The food is not something that can be compared to any other restaurant I’ve been to, the delivery, colours, flavours and textures are incredible and something worth a try. Service and chefs explaining the background and foods is an experience in itself. Highly recommend this place for any occasion.

I visited Humble Chicken with my good buddy for my birthday in October, an absolutely brilliant experience with amazing food and gracious hosts! Highly recommended! Thanks for my birthday card and seeds!

An absolutely outstanding experience. It was a true privilege to be served by Angelo Sato and his fantastic team. They take their time to ensure everything is perfect; the food is exquisite, and the staff is friendly, professional, and remarkable. This was likely one of my best meals in London in the past three years.

Excellent. Food was superb, staff were equally or more so. Wouldn’t hesitate to return, nor to recommend to others.

My wife and I had a fabulous evening at Humble Chicken. The team and the food were truly exceptional. We've been very fortunate to have dined at many michelin starred restaurants but we both agreed that we now have a new favourite!! Thank you so much!! Can't wait to come back.

While we booked to eat here, we were unable to attend as the dietary restrictions and inability to adjust the menu to cater for some allergies (egg and tree nut) would have put my gusts at a food safety risk, this is disappointing. However, the communication and customer services was excellent and they refunded the deposit immediately. But I still cannot fathom how they can receive a michelin star while refusing to adapt their menu to cover food allergies. Maybe that is a question for the Michelin Guide though!

Chef Angelo and his team guide you through an exquisite two-hour journey, where each dish is a stunning work of art and every bite is a burst of culinary bliss. The experience is perfectly paced, allowing you to savour the thoughtful creativity and exceptional flavours that unfold with every course. As it was my birthday, they went the extra mile with a signed card and a candlelit dessert to put the icing on the cake—excuse the pun!

Michelin quality and fun! Enjoyed every dish. So much thought, attention to detail, creativity, and fun was evident in everything. Everyone was so situationally aware of what was going on and friendly. They made sure you felt welcomed and were well cared for. Loved the music and vibe. The menu with the happy birthday wishes on it for my friend and inclusion of Grandma’s pickle recipe (OMG - so delicious!) was so thoughtful and generous! This wonderful experience has set our London trip off to a fantastic start. We highly recommend and wish them nothing but success! Well worth your time.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Friendly welcome, then we were talked through the dining experience. Drinks order was taken. Then the food started coming. Each dish was delicately served to us with an explanation of the dish and ingredients. We were able to watch the chefs constructing the dishes in front of us while we ate - painstaking care taken with each tiny piece. Absolutely exquisite dishes, each a work of beauty and utterly delicious, our favourite was probably the fig and foie gras which blew us away. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable. It really was a wonderful evening.

Loved the Omakase experience. Think my favourite was the black fig with foie gras. The combination of textures and different flavours really worked well together and took you on a journey each bite. Whole team did a fantastic job, worked well together was well orchestrated. Thank you for the experience, I have really enjoyed it.

Everytime I go it’s just perfect! Can’t wait to be back again😁

The most delicious yakitori in the country

First of all, thanks to the staff for being so accommodating. We arrived very late but they were still able to serve us the full menu. Don't be like us: this is cuisine that deserves the time and space required to appreciate. The omakase menu here runs like a modern tasting menu, rather than something like what Kurisu does (which does a handful of starters and then beats you over the head with an incredible amount of incredible fish). The trick that Humble Chicken pulls off is that the palate fatigue that can set in during a long tasting experience never sets in here. I can't tell you how many times I've done a menu where the first 4 or 5 courses are fantastic, then the restaurant acknowledges the fatigue by slapping down a Big Dumb Main Dish. Humble Chicken somehow manages to keep the good times rolling throughout the menu. I think we laughed out loud when the pork bao buns with the little pig face on them came out of the kitchen. It's also worth mentioning the service, which is informed, polite and refined. It's a pleasure to dine with a crew so committed to hospitality. My wife and I would be very happy to dine here again.

Truly exceptional dining experience. Everything from the food to the service to the playlist were fantastic. Job very well done.

We had the most amazing night! Thank you so much 💛

Simply a magnificent evening down at Angelo’s Humble Chicken. Having visited many Michelin star restaurants, the service at Humble Chicken was by far the best we have experienced. We interactive with almost every member of the team throughout the evening. They were all professional, very knowledgable about the dish or pairing their were servicing, and all with a passion for their craft. The food delivered on all fronts, and as we expected. Not a single dish disappointed. The pics speak for themselves. If we had one negative, it would be that the pairings all come with some sake. As not a great fan, maybe a pairing with just wine wouldn’t go a miss. We certainly will be back soon

Wow. Our second visit and it's still amazing. Sato and his team really know how to take care of their customers. The food is sensational

Humble Chicken in London is an absolute gem! From start to finish, every dish was a delightful surprise. We started with the wild mussels and foie gras—both were rich and bursting with flavor. The beef tartare was impeccably fresh and seasoned to perfection, while the HFC (Humble Fried Chicken) was crispy, juicy, and utterly addictive. "Little Piggies" offered a playful and delicious twist, and the tomato dish was refreshing and beautifully balanced. The shokupan was soft and pillowy, perfect for soaking up every last drop of the dash and sukiyaki, which were savory and umami-rich. To top it all off, the dessert of mocha and Kentish strawberry was a sublime finish, blending sweetness and freshness in every bite. The atmosphere was relaxed yet refined, and the service was impeccable. Humble Chicken offers an innovative, unforgettable dining experience—definitely one of London’s must-visit spots!

Incredible!!! Amazing amazing food and such a wonderful experience. Fantastic for a special occasion. Really intimate setting. Great for watching the chefs at work.

Everything was perfect. The staff were very kind and the food was incredible good. I’ll be back soon.

Best dinner we had in London, or anywhere. I am so happy they earned their star this year and that we were able to book a reservation. I'm wondering where their 2nd is to be found as it was apparent to me they deserve it - 2025? The wine + sake pairing is a must if you drink. The food was beyond delicious and creative and beautifully plated. Whoever made the playlist that night should share it on spotify for date night dinner vibes. Watching the chefs at work was so much fun. As someone who can't walk and talk without tripping, I was in awe at how welcoming and social the chefs and hosts were while cooking the best things you've ever eaten. I wish they'd film their way through the omakase menu so I could watch it all again - that's how fun the experience was and how great the chefs were at presenting the plates and pairings. Really excited to see where they go from here :) Hoping that next time we're in London a couple seats are still available.

Absolutely one of the finest 1 Michelin star meals I have ever had. Top 5 for sure. Almost every dish was a hit. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. In particular the Somm went out of his way to change up some of the pairings and to give recommendations on where to source great sake. The chefs were present and engaged and the atmosphere relaxed. The only reason I gave a 4 star rating on atmosphere was the combination of location / noise and that my companion found the seating a bit uncomfortable. Counter style omakase as is typical in this level / style of Japanese Kaiseki so knowing this I was fine with it. Specifics on individual dishes in the photos but I will call out the HFC - Hungry fried chicken - as one of the only successful caviar plus fried chicken (oyster) dishes I have ever had.

Japanese-European fusion executed with finesse, Humble Chicken strikes a delicate balance between respecting Japanese ingredients and dishes and reimagining them in the European context with originality and panache. The service was excellent, attentive and hospitable.

If you’re searching for an amazing dinner experience in London, trust me when I say you’ve found it. This was the best dinner of my life! The food was beautiful, unique, and unbelievably DELICIOUS. The service was top notch. The whole team glided through the kitchen all night while poetically explaining the flavor bomb you were about to experience. The sake / wine pairings were exquisite and opened my eyes to a whole new world. I will absolutely be back next time I’m in London.

Had an incredible dining experience at Humble Chicken. The staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu and suggesting a perfectly paired sake. The intimate setting and personalized service made us feel right at the chef’s home Each dish was a visual masterpiece, bursting with vibrant flavors. Thank you for a truly memorable evening!

Wow! What an experience. The humble chicken left us in awe with an incredibly dinner that ticked all the marks. The meal was a creative blend of Japanese techniques, local ingredients and stories of heritage told from both the kitchen and front of the house. The dining around the counter led to an intimate experience with a rapid array of small bites leading into the major dishes of the tasting menu, one being tastier than the previous. Beautiful craftsmanship, amazing flavours and my favourite wine pairing in a while with a mix of selected sakes and wines. Especially the sake hit the spot for me, our sommelier was knowledgeable and oozed passion in a way that you can’t help but enjoy. Being my favourite dining experience in England, I hope to find the financial means (the dinner definitely being on the pricier side) and time to come again one day Thank you to all of the team who made this evening so special!

The food and staff were both amazing. Made my husbands birthday really special. Thank you!

We had a wonderful experience celebrating my brother’s 40th at Humble Chicken. I’m pregnant and they were so kind in finding out my dietary requirements and making me special dishes on the day. Plus the food was amazing and my brother was completely blown away. 100% would recommend.

Being completely honest, this has to be the best restaurant I have been to. The Fat Duck was previously the top in terms of food and experience, but Humble Chicken takes the top stop. The food is on another level, probably because I love Japanese food. Took my wife for our 10 year anniversary and she absolutely loved it as well.

A truly wonderful experience had yesterday at Humble Chicken. The food was incredibly complex and creative with great pairings with the wines and sake. I particularly enjoyed the tartare and the chicken! The whole experience was a real triumph and revelation. Thank you again to the whole team - your hard work has paid off and I cannot wait to come again soon!

Incredibly kind and knowledgeable staff, passionate about what they do, friendly, not pedantic or elitist, just accessible and amenable. The food reflects all these qualities—elaborate yet quirky, refined to perfection, generous, and distinctly gourmet. We will come back!

My wife and I had such an incredible experience at Humble Chicken in mid-July. Some of the best food we’ve ever had and probably our favorite meal on a recent trip to London. The team was amazing. The chefs present food in such a proud and elegant manner, while the beverage team keeps your drinks flowing. We had some of the most interesting sake, which came with detailed but not overly so explanations of their origins. The food was amazing. The bread service was outstanding, the lobster was insane, the beef was incredible. Really a joy to eat here

From the moment we walked in we experienced five star service. I have yet to see such attention to detail in a restaurant in this city. The care put into each dish and pairing was enthusiastic and informative. I’m truly impressed. Delightful dish after delicious dish after immaculate dish …. I’m running out of adjectives on the level this restaurant deserves! Now, for the staff- you all love what you do and it shows. Hearing and feeling your passion made the experience all the more unforgettable! The owner is also quite kind and I loved watching him watch customer’s reactions… so wholesome to see the pride in a chefs eyes like that.

Every single bite was so goodThe layers of flavour and texture were exciting and took me on a journey The whole menu was well balanced and I didn’t feel over full but also completely satisfied 10/10 Staff were warm and friendly and the dining experience was enhanced by the counter experience

Amazing! Wonderful service, pleasant space and creative flavors. Particularly memorable bites include the Humble Fried Chicken, the mussel starter and the tune course. That being said, I enjoyed every course. My only regret for the meal was being too full to finish the final savory course. Excellent wine and sake list, with helpful tasting notes. The staff is top notch, and really added to the experience.

Really excellent experience and one of the best wine/sake pairings we've had. Amazing service too! Thank you for a great evening.

Really great food with a clever focus on reducing food waste through using typically unwanted parts. Recently recognised as a Michelin star restaurant in London, right in the middle of Soho. Japanese cuisine with a European fusion twist.

Highly highly recommend you visit humble chicken. So grateful to have a seat where you get to watch the entire staff work together as a team to produce a well designed dinner. Thank you!!!

The food is exquisite, but I’m not here to review the food. I’ve been three times with various family members and friends, including Matthew, who left the review below mine, and I can share their thoughts: Pauline (big sister): “It was a taste sensation and a meal to remember. In a wonderful setting. With great company” (Mark’s note: aww!)
Martin and Imran (life long friends and Michelin Star restaurant connoisseurs): “The best meal we’ve ever had.”
Matthew (another life long friend, and my companion that evening see review below): “An experience on a par with the birth of my Son.” Matthew had the wine and sake pairing which, if it affected his judgment, can only have done so in a manner that speaks very highly of the wine and sake pairing. Now, it’s my turn, I want to review the service, because I experienced a level of service that most people will never receive anywhere.

Because I’m left handed. To explain: Initially you’re seated with a pair of chopsticks in front you, positioned to your right, as you’d expect. The first thing I did was to move them to my left side. From that point onwards, everything that was served to me, was positioned for my left hand. All the drinks, and food items. I didn’t say anything to anyone about it, but someone noted the position of my chopsticks, and all the servers adjusted accordingly. I’ve never had that happen to me before, anywhere. The kicker was the main course (short rib - heavenly, my only comment on the food). For this we were provided with an additional knife and fork, placed on a napkin for each of myself and Matthew (my dining companion that evening). Matthew had his fork to the left of his knife, as you’d expect, and mine, had the fork on the right. I was honestly blown away by that. I’m not sure how many people would notice or care, but I found that level of attention to detail quite extraordinary, and I absolutely appreciated it. Over the coming years, I intend to bring pretty much everyone I love here. Next year my brother and his wife celebrate their 50th birthdays, and 20th wedding anniversary. They live just outside Edinburgh, and I’ll be bringing them here to celebrate. Some of my dearest friends in the world are coming to visit next year. I’ll be bringing them here too. I could go on, but I think you get the gist. (btw, I’m not looking for any special treatment by telling you this. I’ll be coming regardless, and, besides, what more could you give?)

An absolutely fabulous experience - reminded me so much of one of my favourite restaurants in NYC - Degustation.The menu was amazing - each bite shrouding your taste buds with layers of flavour and then unwrapping gently as you get to the completion of the mouthful. Each course building on the previous one. The staff were impeccable - friendly and knowledgable. I can't wait to go back!! dd

If I was to try to describe the dining experience I would say that it took me 20 years to be a parent and it’s the most incredible thing. (My son is now 6). Tonight at Humble Chicken can only be compared to the day of my son’s birth…… a whole new experience which blows the mind (and palette). Truly as memorable as the day Richard was born. Each course was phenomenal and the wine pairings were incredible also. Cannot say thank you to Mark for taking me, oh to the staff for being so incredibly talented and welcoming. They truly have a passion for what they do and their smiles carry to their eyes as they engage with you. My only complaint is that I don’t possess a millionth of the talent and will be returning to my own Home cooking tomorrow. I would say I have been ruined beyond belief. But that’s hard to say when I feel I’ve had one of the best experiences of my life. In truth, it will inspire me to be more adventurous in my home cooking and to make a date to return, to humble chicken with family and friends

Over the years I've been lucky enough to go to some amazing establishments, but in the way of a culinary experience, this is one of the best my son and I ever experienced. Me and my son had the pleasure of sitting through 12 amazing dishes that we had and a compliment drinks menu with. (Highly recommend) Have to say it was amazing, from the warm friendly service to the precision and presentation of the dishes is second to none. If you're thinking about going, don't hesitate, book it and enjoy!

The food was incredible and the staff couldn’t have done more. The setting is great and we loved the atmosphere. A thoroughly enjoyable evening!

Prob the best meal I’ve had this year. Could not fault it in any way. Amazing

Had such a fantastic meal. Loved the set up, the food, the service (really excellent). High end without being stuffy. Really good fun.

One of the best meals of my life. Every course was spectacular. I've eaten omakase dinners worldwide, and this one will be remembered. The service was top-notch, and I can't recommend the sake pairing enough. We will see you again every time we return to London. Thank you!

We were so impressed by the whole experience! Everything was so relaxed and friendly. It was great that we got to speak with most of the team, we were treated like royalty by everyone. Food was exceptional, it was a privilege to watch it be so lovingly prepared in front of us. The background music felt a little out of place but the randomness of it made for a talking point and added to the experience itself. Thank you so much for the extra birthday touch...you made it one to never forget.

Everything was perfect. We believe we had the best seats in the house right where the chefs cook and prep. Given that its a small counter top venue of 20 (ish) seats we could have been in the corner or the far end of the counter. Truly lucky. Thanks to the team. The food was exceptional, every bite better than the last. The staff were attentive and engaging, they didn’t mind interacting and sharing their thoughts with us. Even put a candle in the dessert and signed a menu happy birthday from everyone to my wife.

Exceptional flavours. Diverse menu. Attentive waiters. Every one of the 12 plates of food had a story. It’s certainly not cheap and takes 3 hours to complete, but this is a really special restaurant.

The tasting menu was fantastic, with an amazing range of taste and textures. We even played a game where we tried to pick our favourite dish, and then proceeded to run through the whole menu. The drinks pairing seemed spendy at the start, but turned out to be well worth it. Great diversity that excellently paired with each dish, and the enthusiasm in the description when pouring really added to it. Thank you.

From start to finish, it was an amazing experience! I absolutely love the place!

A great Japanese style restaurant with amazing staff and service!

I was so pleasantly surprised by the menu, the ambiance and the friendliness of the staff. More importantly by the eagerness to seek feedback and continuously improved. I would be coming back for sure.

I just had lunch at Humble Chicken and holy moly was it amazingly delicious. One of the best meals of my life. Every bite was an explosion of flavor and the progression was so well done. There wasn't a mediocre dish and there were many dishes. Left stuffed but it wasn't too much. The staff was also superb and I really enjoyed the ambiance (easy to have a conversation but not stuffy/quiet). It was a wonderful rollercoaster of a meal. 100/10 would revisit.

A brilliant experience Highly recommend the food, service and venue. Easily the best value tasting menu at the moment in London Plus loved the playlist Can’t wait to come back

One of the best meals I’ve had, hands down.

Fantastic!!! Such a great vibey spot in Soho! Food, service and wine were excellent! Highly recommend :) thanks for the great night.

Gosh, I don’t know if the place is simply overrated or we caught the kitchen on a bad day. But for £500 price tag for 2 there are better restaurants to go to in London. Firstly, there is nothing humble about this place. Yes, the signature Humble Fried Chicken is a delight, but foie gras and caviar are not humble and they make appearances twice in the menu. So, for me the brief is missed. I’m also not sure every guest being told to “smash” the opening Otoro dish speaks of particularly humility but rather decadence, which is fine were it not for the name and theme of this place. The standout dishes are the tomato celebration and the fish Dashi, they both transported you else where. However, the little piggies bao buns barely tasted of anything and the presentation was basic, it seemed like a gimmick. And the Shokupan picnic just seemed like a dish to fill your stomach although the pickles are really special. The Sukiyaki dish was nice but too rich and too late in the game, so by the time dessert came round, watching someone struggle to grate a tasteless but giant strawberry did nothing for me. The Purin dessert has an interesting flavour profile, but at the end of so much butter, I was unable to finish it, and it is here there is a brief reminder of humility as it comes wrapped in old menus… They’ll parcel you off with a chamomile tea to take home, which after such a poorly executed and overly rich menu, you’ll need to help you digest. Lastly, the music, is awful. Michael Bolton and Craig David are not what I expect in a venue of this standing.

Had an amazing degustation experience on Thursday night. Every dish was well thought out, complex and interesting tastes and presented beautifully. The pairings were matched perfectly. We got to talk with the chef/owner and some of the other staff and they are all very passionate and are executing phenomenally. Recommend getting your booking in and experiencing what they have to offer!

Awesome food, great drinks. We can highly recommend the non-alcoholic pairing. The service was incredible, everyone was easy to talk with and very attentive.

Exceptional dining! Fantastic food and superb paring. Huge thank you to the team for such a welcoming atmosphere.

I travelled from India for this meal and it did not disappoint. One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. Everything from the food to the atmosphere was perfect. You could really tell that every single item was well thought out and appreciated the way each chef/staff member explained in detail what we would be eating. The service was amazing and felt very comforting, which I did not expect initially. I will definitely be coming back whenever I’m in London next. The beef tartare tart, tuna, and the strawberry dessert were my favorites. I hope they make the tuna course a permanent on the menu. Thank you Humble Chicken team!

Had a wonderful lunch, super friendly staff and food was a wonderful treat. Would recommend.

Our lunch omakase at the Humble Chicken was amazing. The food was outstanding - every course was prepared in front of our eyes with utmost care and a level of detail which was simply impressive. Especially the foie gras, hazelnut, melon course was exceptionally good - a real umami flavour bomb. Also the service was very attentive and made sure to provide an excellent experience while keeping the atmosphere welcoming and comfortable without it feeling too formal. We were visiting London for a weekend from Germany - and stopping by Humble Chicken was the highlight of our trip. It wasn't our first Michelin star restaurant we visited, but so far, it was the best. Many thanks to the team for the spectecular experience!

Exceptional food with fantastic service. Highly recommend the restaurant to anyone, I am certain there won’t be any regrets. Every dish keeps getting better.

I like the chef Angelo's enthusiasm, but the food was below expectations, especially considering the very high price. Also, there was an annoying detail, when we arrived at the restaurant, the waiter wouldn't let us sit where we wanted at the counter. When we later asked for a reason, he explained that the spot was for three people, not two. However, this didn't make sense because the restaurant was full, and only two people were sitting there.
