Tokimeite in City of London, Westminster

Never again. We made a booking with Tokimiete for 8.15 pm Saturday 2nd September. Got the confirmation by email etc. this was for a special occasion and we had travelled from north west uk for this and the theatre earlier in the day. We arrived in good time-to discover the restaurant was closed and not open again till the 5th. I’m appalled that customers can be treated with such lack of regard. When booking places like this expectations around arrivals and grace periods, dress codes and how long you will have the table for are clearly laid out for you. In return, the most basic expectation from the customer is that you will be open and serving food for your diners.

Chef Jon Shojin, a rising star by his own merit, commands with culinary brilliance at Tokimeite. This delightful Japanese restaurant in London offers a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation. With a calm and creative approach, Chef Jon pushes the boundaries of sushi, constantly experimenting with ingredients and techniques. A mouthwatering adventure, each dish becomes a masterpiece. Tokimeite is a delightful experience crafted by the remarkably creative mind of chef Shojin.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing date night here, it was an entire experience that we would 100% recommend. As New Yorkers we eat a lot of sushi but Tokimeite was better than anywhere else. The fish was very fresh and the chef and sous chef, John, did an incredible job. We loved every piece we had and will be back!

I have always rated this place 5 star but yesterday it was just about a 2 star. The service was awful! After we arrived we were asked if we were ready to order four times! 😳 We took some friends who were visiting from the US. When the food did arrive all of the starters came at different times and then so did all the mains. It was terrible. The manager then tried to make up for it and offer us sake shots. I’m was embarrassed and mortified. Off the regular visit list this goes. If restaurants cannot cope with a lot of customers they should not run at full capacity. So disappointed! Gutted.

I ordered the lunch bento bo x. While waiting i was served a home made soft tofu which was nice and had a custard like consistency. It was served together with some soya sauce. The main bento box came with salmon, sashimi , chicken karage and a selection of vege together with rice and miso soup.

My son recommended Tokimeite for lunch, during our recent stay in Mayfair. We were most impressed. Great Yuzu & Ginger mocktail to start. The set lunches were amazing and good value for money. Beautifully fresh Nigiri. The Bento box was also excellent. Highlights for us was the Fresh Tofu starter & the scallop, which tasted freshly of the sea. Tokimeite is most well known for their Wagyu. We shared a Wagyu rump beef, which was buttery and perfectly prepared. Beautiful ice cream to finish. Everything was made fresh to order. Excellent, personal service throughout. The team were also great with gluten free, producing their own GF soy sauce. Highly recommended.

We came to Tokimeite for a special occasion. The maitre d’, servers, and chefs, Jackie and Paolo, were so friendly and attentive, they all truly made our night with the most welcoming service. The cherry on top is that the food was also exceptional. Delicious wagyu rump, Jackie’s choice of nigiri & maki roll, and the best sea bass I’ve ever tasted cooked on the robata grill were a few of the highlights. Will be definitely going back again to try their tempura and other items on the menu. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Well I was lucky to have Fukushima-san there, and took the Fukushima’s san omakase. Each piece was better than the other I can't decide my favorite. He is traditional Japanese chef with a little touch of fusion, what was incredible. The staff was lovely, amazing service. I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. Perfect 👏🏻 ⭐️

Bonito restaurante en la zona más cara de Londres. Su carta y el servicio refinado y exclusivo al igual q la cuenta final. Agradecidos de q nos esperaran hasta nuestra llegada a las 14:15. Casi la hora del te para ellos. El servicio fue más lento de lo q cabría esperar y la factura final espectacularmente alta.

Holy smokes! Must go, amazing service, amazing food. Cosy comfortable and welcoming environment while still being sophisticated. Food was amazing.

Under new management, amazing chef, at last I am able to find true Japanese quality sushi in London. The rich marble tuna with black truffle is to die for, the negi toro temaki sublime, the service exceptional.

牛肉の巻き寿司とタタキ（表面に包丁を入れて軽く炙ったもの）がおいしかったです。いいお値段でしたが、A５の飛騨牛とありまし たので、最高級の素材ですね。野菜もおいしかったです。行ったときは、店員さんに日本人が３人いらっしゃって、接客も良かったです。お客さんも他に何組か入っていました。日々、いろいろ試行錯誤されているんでしょうね。

One of the best Japanese restaurant I’ve tasted ever!!! If you’re a Japanese food lover, then this is the place for a REAL fine high standard Japanese cuisine!

While eating here is undoubtedly expensive, the experience of having food prepared with this much care, skill, and focus on details means you are being served more than just a meal. Rather, you will get an experience of how food can be like art. I can only afford to eat like this very rarely, but rarely is enough as I will remember these meals for ages.

It is not just food, it's master peace of food. I have not had good experience with Japanese food but now, after visit Tokimeite I changed my mind. High quality of Japanese food, the best in London. Beautiful restaurant (and resting room ;) Big thank you to Kenta Ishibashi for fantastic service. Definitely come back.

We choose Tokimeite for a birthday lunch celebration for 2 old friends who know Japanese food rather well. The Lunch Sets were delicious accompanied by some rather good sparkling sake. And of course we couldn’t resist dessert - an excellent matcha pannacotta and some delightful and interesting ice-cream flavours. Food and service all impeccable. Highly recommend.

A great place to try if you enjoy wagyu. It was pricey but delicious .. we had the special .. a sort of wagyu toasted sandwich topped with truffle. The counter seats are great as they add to the ambience. The scallops were the stand out dish though. Service was good, and the restaurant had a very clean organised feel.
