The Sushi Chef in Lambeth

We recently hired a sushi chef, and the experience exceeded all expectations. From the first course to the last, every dish was a work of art—both in presentation and flavor. The chef's skills and attention to detail were immediately evident, as was his dedication to using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. His ability to engage with guests and make them feel part of the culinary experience added a unique, personal touch. Hiring this sushi chef was one of the best decisions we made, and we highly recommend his services for anyone looking to elevate their dining event. Truly exceptional!

Great at home experience, enjoyed it a lot and have done it multiple times now, brilliant for a dinner party or when the family are in town!

We organised my mums 50th birthday with sushi chef, it was amazing we went for the Nobu experience and we couldn’t have enjoyed Luis and Jonny more, they were interactive and made sure everything went extremely smoothly

The food was awful and i got food poisoning from there, also there were hairs in the food avoid at all cost please stay away

We had an office delivery from the sushi chef and it was one of the best office lunches we’ve had. We now do a Bi weekly sushi lunch, the whole office is happy every time

A great evening from Sushi Chef, organisation was brilliant from the first contact through to the chefs, cleaning our kitchen until it was spotless. The food also may I add was very good.

As an Executive Chef that has run various Blue Chip Corporate catering outfits throughout Central London my first choice fish and Sushi supplier has always been and always will be Sushi Chef. Their produce is second to none everytime and the service is responsive and in a different league to others. The Sushi Chef do not only specialise in Sushi but can also source ingredients that are widely unavailable from other suppliers. I cannot recommend highly enough!

I've used many private chefs / catering options for home events and I found The Sushi Chef delivered top quality sushi and a wise selection of delicious hot dishes. The live chef we had was particularly creative and sociable which really added to the event. Thanks again.

Big thank you for making my 40th Birthday so wonderful! The quality of the food was exceptional and I couldn't believe the level of effort the Sushi Chef team put it to make the experience so special. I'm already looking forward to my next party to use the guys again :)

Food tastes and looks amazing whenever I’ve ordered, thank you sushi chef!

We hired The Sushi Chef for an in-office interactive sushi making party for ~10 people. It was a really fantastic experience - the chef came right on time, was lovely to speak to, and the quality of the sushi was fresh and top notch. The menu was varied and we all had the opportunity to make the sushi ourselves if we wanted. We will definitely be using them again for future events!

Having visited Tokyo and Yokohama for years on business I’ve always wanted to have a dinner party with friends serving high authentic sushi in the customary Japanese fashion. I am happy to say Max and his team delivered this in every way possible. The attention to detail was second to none. From an initial meeting to agree on a budget and menu for the evening to the impeccably trained staff on the night who made it an unforgettable evening for my friends and I. Nothing was left to chance with Max even suggesting subtle tweaks to the interior along with recommendations for Sake wines to compliment each dish on the menu. Thanks again!

I have ordered from the sushi chef on two occasions for events. I can't think of anything to fault the quality/quantity of food and service provided. Having eaten at some of the best sushi restaurants around the world, I am so happy to have found the sushi chef because it is such high quality, fresh, and I can't think of any sushi I have had that's better. The customer service I received from the owner Max (wonderful chap) and his team was so helpful and informative, they made my events and experience with them so smooth, can't wait for the next event!

NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE - TOTAL SCAM!!! My friend ordered a big delivery order for her sister’s birthday with 10 people attending. £180 worth of order and not even £30 worth of stuff was actually delivered. When we noticed the mistake we in good faith thought we were delivered the wrong order and tried to get in touch with Max Anglin who is supposedly the manager of the restaurant and the person dealing with the order and who also delivered it. Max never replied to our emails texts and phone calls and blocked my friend number and switched off the phone. The next morning Max sent an email saying all was delivered. When called he hung up the phone. He started texting on WhatsApp and tried to convince us that everything was delivered when it is obvious that it wasn’t the case. We asked for a refund and denied that. His excuse for not answering the phone was that the office was closed after 6pm when he gave us his personal mobile number... anyways, if a customer has something to discuss after 30mins from the delivery you would expect the supplier to at least pick up the phone and try and solve the issue. Moreover the few things we were delivered were of poor quality. A total embarrassment for our guests that we had over and ruined our sisters wedding. When asked for a refund he said to call the office on opening hours only. Please don’t order from this place ever - they don’t deserve the business and any customer loyalty.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE! Absolutely awful service and food! We organized a dinner party and ordered 180£ of food from this place and were delivered something completely different. Instead of all the sushi ordered, Max delivered a bunch of Chinese starters that were never included in our order and probalby not even worth 20£. We tried to call Max 30 minutes after the delivery to get the mistake sorted and we never received a reply. He even blocked my friend's number! The morning after he insisted that he delivered everything and that he could not answer after working hours when he gave us his mobile number and we were calling at 6 PM (according to their website working hours are until 8pm). He never picked up the phone and never apologized for the mistake. Total lack of customer service, extremely poor quality and overall an awful experience. Please do not order from this place, they do not deserve any of your money!

Appaling service! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS VILE CATERING! We placed quite a big order with Max, or as I like to call him the filthy scammer. He was talking about "delivery partners" when we asked when they would deliver, but it turns out it was him delivering – nothing wrong with that, but first red flag. When we opened the order it was less than half of what we had ordered – a lot of items missing, meat skewers we never ordered in the first place, "mixed sushi" were less than half the amount promised and were only of one type. We assumed they must have delivered the wrong order at first as 99% of what we received did not match what we had ordered. We tried calling Max for hours. He first ignored our calls, then started declining the calls and finally he simply switched his phone off. The next day he had the "decency" to reply to text and emails, just to try and play smart and coy! He did not even had the guts to pick up the phone and try to sell us those lies over the phone. We asked for a refund and he said "management will look into it" – he is the owner of the business so he was once again trying to take the mickey. Max, rest assured we reported you trough the gov.uk website as a fraudulent business, and reported your bank account for fraud through the bank. Just remember, Karma is a b---- and you should be ashamed of trying to take advantage of people especially when times are tough for everyone.

Really great intimate at home event & The sushi was amazing along with a few hot dishes which were even better

We booked Sushi Chef for a Japanese Omakase dinner for my birthday, and paid to have a waitress serve as we were 10 people. It was over £1500 for a 15 course menu which Max (from SushiChef) and my partner went through together and agreed what was possible to do, Nobu style. We also agreed dessert with matcha mochi to be served, as well as all dinnerware, plates and serving boats. Firstly, an Italian chef arrived, wearing scruffy shoes and clothes- and although very sweet, he was not prepared as Max had not even informed him of the job until 3pm that day (it’s not possible to get high end good cuts of fish from the fishmonger at this time of the day!) and also not shared the menu that we were promised, meaning the high end sushi experience we were hoping to cater for our guests was not delivered. There was no tableware, plates or bowls and only 1 large plate for serving. Wooden chopsticks were given, but thankfully we had our own bamboo bowls otherwise we wouldn’t have had anything. But even so it was not presentable and looked horrible. No mochi or dessert was provided either. The waitress was supposed to arrive 30min before guests arrived, around 730. At 830 she still had not showed up, and we were not given a number to contact her. We called Max over and over again, he didn’t bother answering the phone and instead kept saying that the waitress was outside. My partner ran out several times in the rain and there was no one there, and Max kept ignoring calls and refusing to give her number to us. I asked the chef if he knew about a waitress and he said he wasn’t given any info about the event at all but there was most likely no waitress ordered and this happened several times and he had actually quit because he hadn’t even met his boss after working for 2 years and they owed him money for about 6 months. Beyond that the food was so below mediocre, I haven’t actually had sushi that doesn’t have any flavour, and I feel bad saying that because the chef was a nice guy but he is not a Nobu experience sushi chef, he’s not even YoSushi- he still has a lot of training to go and this is the level of service you get paying £150 a head - WITHOUT alcohol or dessert. This was my birthday dinner and really put such a downer on the whole evening. Max didn’t seem to care that he had almost ruined my birthday. We paid for everything listed above and weren’t even given a third of it. No waitress No tableware No dessert 4/15 items of the dinner menu We obviously complained, Max said he would speak to relevant parties and find out what happened and then has gone completely silent. We’ve been patient about it and not rude, explained how dissatisfied we were and wanted to come to an arrangement without writing bad reviews but he is not answering phone calls for over a month or replying to texts. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! You will waste a lot of money and be very very disappointed and embarrassed. Rather order from Nobu, it’s way cheaper to get the original Nobu experience than this piece of garbage! 0 stars!

This was an amazing at home sushi experience for us. The chef was outstanding and friendly to all the guests. Couldn’t have asked for better at this price.

I was the first customer to order from The Sushi Chef from deliveroo. They gave me a complimentary bottle of prossecco as a celebration of this. The sushi was extremely good, best I’ve had in this area so far. Wasabi is fresh, and the sushi is very well made. I’ll definitely be ordering from them going forward on deliveroo

Toda la experiencia no comenzó bien. Pedí sushi a Josh para una fiesta de 16. Me dijeron unos días antes del parto que me habían cobrado menos de 70. Tenía que pagar la diferencia o pedir menos comida. Estaba preocupado por las cantidades, por lo que ordenar menos no era una opción, aunque no teníamos más presupuesto para pagar la diferencia. Al final hubo un compromiso: 20 piezas menos de sushi y 4 porciones menos de platos principales. Estaba seguro de que sería suficiente. No lo fue.La comida llegó fría. El sushi estaba bien. La ensalada de berenjena estaba bien, pero la ensalada arcoiris no se parecía en nada a la foto anunciada. Esperábamos albóndigas pero recibimos algo más. El bacalao negro estaba frío, masticable y la salsa de miso estaba seca. Pagamos 80 por el adjunto! ! ! ! !La peor parte de todo fue que cuando envié un correo electrónico para quejarme varias veces me ignoraron por completo.Habiendo pagado un precio premium, esperaba comida de calidad premium y el resultado general fue muy decepcionante.

The whole experience didn't start well. I ordered some sushi through Josh for a party of 16. I was told a few days before delivery that they had undercharged me by £70. I was either to pay the difference or order less food. I was worried about quantities so ordering less wasn't an option though we had no more budget to pay the difference. In the end there was a compromise-20 less pieces of sushi and 4 less portions of mains. I was assured that it would be enough. It wasn't. The food arrived cold. The sushi was OK. The aubergine salad was nice but the rainbow salad looked absolutely nothing like the advertised photo. We expected dumplings but received something else. The black cod was cold, chewy and the miso sauce was dried up. We paid £80 for the attached!!!!! The worst part of it all was that when I emailed to complain several times I have been completely ignored. Having paid a premium price I expected premium quality food and the overall outcome was very disappointing.

Food is tasty. Always arrives on time with good customer service from the main office. I would definitely recommend the sushi chef for top quality Asian food.

Un completo caos. ¡No consideres a esta empresa para tu evento!

Delicious and beautifully presented sushi and other tasty Japanese / asian delights get delivered to our offices in London almost daily as The Sushi Chef is a favourite amongst my colleagues for our catering needs. Friendly servive and quality always. The Sushi Chef Hire service recently used for an in-house event for 150 people impressed all too! Thank you Chef Luis!

Fantastic sushi, unfortunately you can only order the day before.

Im not a big fan of sushi, but their Chicken Katsu curry is the best ive eaten in the wholle of London. Very fresh well presented and most important, taste is out of this world. Im now out of London and cant order from them anymore but i did ordered there for many years and cannot say enough to appreciate how much i loved their service and food. Thank you for all the years.

Super friendly and efficient staff catered for our party of 30 at home. We requested a nobu menu and they produced the most superb range of amazing nobu dishes.

This place has got awesome quality of sushi including other delicious appetizers as well. Among all other sushi places in London, they have the best quality of fish for sushi and excellent service!

Hard to find the decent sushi catering place in London, BUT, The Sushi Chef's quality of food was absolutely excellent, and their service was prompt!

Ordered a couple of sushi platters for a business meeting - delivered on time - fresh - well made - reasonably priced - Thank You!

Very pleased with the quality of sushi and dim sum here. Everything about Sushi Chef is well executed: good variety on the menu, well prepared dishes with fresh, quality ingredients, efficient and friendly service, good atmosphere. From the first look at their web site I had a good impression and they've always lived up to that.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, affordable price. No better way to spend the evening

No podría dar una maldita acerca de sus clientes habituales. Su sistema de pedidos online es una basura y ni siquiera su menú. No tienes esto, no tienes que sólo aceptamos pedidos y que son 2 - 3 horas antes porque son tan "ocupado" haciendo otras cosas. Llama, llama, llama y acabo de teléfonos respuesta. 15 minutos antes de llegar, mis clientes conseguir una llamada diciendo 'te llamé a mi teléfono". Explicó y envió por correo electrónico la recepción del pedido (hecho en 2. 30 en la tarde), pero eso no cambia. Indignado. Me ofrecieron 50% de descuento la próxima orden y cuando se dio el hecho de restos. 30 piezas de salmón para lo que se anunciaba como mínimo 3 tipos de pescado. Celebrar una fiesta de Año Nuevo Chino - Cena de la vergüenza. No hay explicación, no lo siento, no hay mensaje y veo que se ha visto en los mensajes. No podría dar una maldita. Así, Sushi Chef - hemos unido Nobu. Buena suerte porque ahora obviamente muy pijo para nosotros en la zona y creo que cuando alguien se queja de que puede enviar la basura y no se contabilizan. Bien se equivocan. Espero que millones de personas leer esto.

Couldn't give a damn about their regular customers. Their online ordering system is rubbish and not even their menu. Don't have this, don't have that and only accept orders that are made 2-3 hours before because they are soooooo 'busy' doing other things. Called, called, called and only got answer phones. 15 minutes before my guests arrive, get a call saying 'you called my phone'. Explained and emailed receipt of order (made at 2.30 in the afternoon) but that made no difference. Disgusted. Was offered 50% off next order and when made - was given the scraps. 30 pieces of salmon for what was advertised as at least 3 different types of fish. Hosting a Chinese New Year dinner party - embarrassed. No explanation, no sorry, no message and I can see that they have seen the messages. Couldn't give a damn. So, Sushi Chef - you've joined Nobu. Good luck because you are now obviously too posh for us in the local area and think that when someone complains that you can send rubbish and not be accountable. Well - you're wrong. I hope millions of people read this.

WOW! Beautifully presented sushi and most importantly it tasted amazing!

What a great company to work with, A wedding event of 300 went perfectly and the food was delicious, freshly made sushi in front of our guests perfectly presented!

The unusual addition of the sushi taco may offend the die hard sushi conservative paler somewhat. The attention to detail on all sushi dishes is phenomenal each item could be featured in a too sushi cookbook Excellent service undertaken in a quiet collected efficient manner, just don't be in a rush the sushi experience is to be savoured The prices provide great value will worth a short wait w will go back certainly

No estoy diciendo que he cargas en los mejores sitios, pero he tenido mucho. Estos grandes peces de calidad (he trabajado con un chef de sushi antes) y muy sabroso chili calamares crujientes! relleno generoso en los rollos. Es caro, pero vale la pena para un regalo para mí al final de una larga semana! nuevo pedido, pero probablemente colección ya que tienes que pasar 20 libras y pagar por entrega ( £1.50 )!

Again, 2 hours for the delivery! I had given it a last chance.... not again, finito!

Love foods here... However, the store always close

Rolls were great as usual, tried the crispy duck pancakes and at £2.30 each are not worth it! Shame! Presentation was not as "clean" as previous experiences with Sushi Chef (stuck nigiri, huge tubs of wasabi stuck in the middle, dirty and torn paper bag...). Felt liked this order was rushed possibly? Food was still very good but levels are not consistent which is disappointing. Delivery time was 1 hour but this is what was announced.

the smallest nigiri sushi ever. 24 pounds for me and a 13 yearold girl. starving.. Ichiban much better value

Delicious but not by an amount that justifies the price over other sushi places in the area if I'm honest. Can't fault the service though as arrived on time and was very tasty

Was sceptical after a few bad reviews online, but the sushi was AMAZING. so tasty, recommend the dragon roll so much! it was crispy and fresh. Thanks very much sushi chef, packaging was great too!

Awful food and when tried to contact, no one got back to me. Would not recommend!

Tasty beyond imagination! Love it! Maybe a tad expensive but hey... it's great quality...!

Really tasty take-away sushi, with a broad menu to choose. Very good value too. Sometimes can be a bit slow though.

I usa them all the time, great quality

Delicious, fast delivery, will definitely go back

This is the best sushi takeaway I've found in London. So delicious especially the new sushi tacos. Great service and better than the competition. My only complaint is they don't have longer opening hours!

My wife and I love sushi and we both feel lucky to have found this place. The whole sushi chef experience was fantastic. Order from this place and you realise just how good the freshest sushi can be.

Had to wait 1 hour and 20 mins, unacceptable. Not sure I'll use them again... shame as the sushi is good but hey the waiting (on a school night!!) is ridiculous

Food is great, but not convinced with the starter portion size. Delivery took a bit longer than I have preferred.

Awful food and when tried to contact, no one got back to me. Would not recommend!

Recientemente me he encontrado este sushi llevar y yo se convertían en adictos. Me encanta atún un salmón así que la mayoría de mis pedidos consisten en estos dos peces y puedo garantizar que la calidad es increíble.La entrega está siempre a tiempo y la presentación es magnífico.

Almost two hours late. Wont be ordering again. I appreciate they are busy but should receive some form of compensation or something

Really tasty, quick delivery! Will def order again.

Very delicious food, nicely packed and delivered with enough chopsticks for all the people

Returning customer fantastic sushi quality!

The sushi was pretty disgusting and the sashimi in particular was not fresh. The sushi rolls had lots of strange flavour combinations in them, aside from the ingredients advertised, that did not taste nice. Would not recommend.

Good delivery and selection of sushi.

Great food, they forgot out gyoza but came again and delivered with delicious edamame too, very nice clean fresh and tasty food.

normally the best, but yesterday the tuna was very not good, tasted old. keep those standards high guys dont slip

Very good quality sushi - good selection and delivery always fast.

Fresh, delicious, best Japanese cuisine around the area

Really good food, quick delivery, well worth and order and we will be ordering again

I wish I knew how it was . An hour and a half after my order I am still waiting .

What a fantastic meal! It took around an hour to come, but it was worth it! I wish it was cheaper so I could get it more often, but the food was perfect. Thanks!

We've had better food from this place before. This was just OK. Also not very far, so no real reason why >25min later than expected.

Really tastey now my new favourite. Also healthy too

I have placed my order on-line and got an reply in an email that minimum order value is £75.00. It was not mentioned on their web site. Disappointment

Insanely bad value for money. I don't mind paying for good sushi and sashimi, but 70 quid can only feed 2... THe competition has the same quality and half the price. Won't order again. Oh, the food was good quality though.

Decent sushi, but it was an hour later than the maximum delivery time quoted. I called to chase it and they said five to ten minutes more, but it was another 45 minutes. They gave me some free edamame beans in compensation which I didn't think was really good enough.

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Good sushi. Timely. We'll definitely be back.

La selección es zushi y sashimi junto con calidad y presentación es insuperable. El sushi chef realmente tiene algunos hombres que sacaban espada principal en el mostrador. También nos gusta las fuentes y la posibilidad de organizar un chef de sushi en su grupo de cena, que siempre es un buen toque.Hemos encontrado que la entrega es realmente malo sin embargo y aunque cuando pides en línea lo afirma + 1,5 horas puede ser realmente excesivo está esperando alrededor y casi llegar demasiado Tipsy donde se ofrecen bocadillos y pierde su appititie.

Regularly order sushi for a night in from this place, and every time it's delicious! Good quality, tasty sushi that is excellent value for money.

Took one hour and half to be delivered. I ordered miso soup, they delivered tom-yum soup. I can't eat chili. Worst delivery ever!

Always delivery food earlier than stated and warm/cold as required! Great service and a great company. Would hire for any event and order from every night if money was infinite.

Good quality ingredients well prepared. Sushi was excellent. Some of the hot items (eg Tempura) suffered slightly from not being straight from the fryer to the plate (not surprisingly went a bit soggier than desired in transit), but that said was still very good. Will defo order from here again.

The sashimi could be fresher but the rolls are possibly the best I have ever had.

Amazing food. Really slow delivery and 30mins late. Would be good if they separated warm and cold food too

I called to chase up order after 1 hour and 5 minutes and they hadn't even started making it. On top of that denied on the phone that they had taken that long (despite confirmation email). Shame as food has always been great.

fairly quick delivery, great quality.

Absolutely brilliant delivery sushi, we are usually left a bit unsatisfied with sushi that has been delivered as it can sometimes not be as fresh as it can be. But i can say that from the first bite of the sushi chef sushi it was an absolute pleasure just as good as eating at restaurants but in the comfort of your own home! Well done the sushi chef

Worst food. The crab gave me food poisoning. Was never given a refund.

This is the third time I've ordered from sushi chef and it's gotten worse each time. This time the sashimi was warm, obviously been transported next to hot food. Pretty disgusting. The rest of the food was bland and flavourless. Won't be ordering again.

Sushi was very good and fresh. Hats off to the delicious salmon sashimi, some of the freshest I've had in a very long time. Will definitely be ordering again.
