The best restaurants serving Japanese food in St James's City of London, Westminster London

Paré aquí para almorzar y tenía una muy buena oferta de katsu de cerdo por solo 10, que venía con arroz, Coca Cola y una sabrosa sopa de miso. Valor increíble (especialmente teniendo en cuenta que esto es el centro de Londres) y deliciosa comida. El propietario es muy agradable y amable, ¡este lugar debería ser más popular!

Halal. Mitsuryu was my favourite place in Chinatown- I was so sad when they moved! But then I found out that they moved to Wembley so I had to visit. Their Tamagoyaki is the best I've had in London and I really recommend their katsu curry. They used to do a great katsu type broth (in the picture) but I don't think they serve this anymore. Honestly 10/10 you will not regret visiting Mitsuryu.

I had been here a few years ago and loved this place, but unfortunately it seems it’s permanently closed? Their website is still live (July 2024), we tried to reserve by filling in a form on their site but got no response. Went their without reservation during stated opening hours. Not only was the restaurant closed but the signage had been removed from the exterior of the building.

No reservation in advance. Thank you for accepting us! Very pleasant evening as much for the atmosphere, the service (very fast) as the quality of the meal. A wide choice in your menu. Excellent sushi... very good miso soup. California hmm. There wasn't a single false note, it's a real pleasure because we regularly eat in this type of restaurant at home in France and know how to recognize when it's good.... don't hesitate, it's a good place.

Visitó el lugar de ramen Ippudo cerca de Embankment para comer algo. Qué decepción. Pedí el ramen clásico Shiromaru. El PEOR ramen que he probado. Sabor suave, cerdo gomoso, caldo insípido y el huevo tenía una textura extraña y granulada. Y por 18 libras, una estafa. Las gyozas crujientes estaban quemadas/duras y venían con una mayonesa salada y grumosa, que no iba en absoluto. El tazón de arroz de pollo era demasiado caro y soso. 50 para un tazón pequeño de lechuga integral, arroz empapado y pollo seco. No malgastes tu dinero, llegó a £ 40 y tal estafa. Comida de mala calidad. Hemos visitado Ippudo Central Saint Giles y la diferencia de calidad fue de día y de noche. Las instalaciones del baño también eran repugnantes, apestaba a orina y papel higiénico por todo el piso. He visitado un montón de auténticos lugares de cocina japonesa a mitad de precio, con comida abundante y deliciosa, no este lugar! Un fideo de olla sabe mejor que aquí.

*This review is specifically for the NYE 2024 experience* We wanted a nice dinner with a great view of the London fireworks, so we decided to give 8 at the Londoner a try. They offer two types of reservations, the curated experience and the al la carte option. Both options will cost you 400 £ per person. Their signature cocktails were good but not amazing for the prices. The al la carte menu is slightly different from the curated but has a great selection of food. The lobster tempura was nice and fluffy and tasted great. The different tacos, such as the shrimp and Wagyu, were all excellent. Service was a bit slow, but it was a full house. We did ask to have our phones charged, which our waiter said wasn't a problem. An hour later, I go to get our phones, and they have less battery than when we gave them to him. They never plugged them in. The aerver staff, however, were all quite friendly and helpful in explanations, so forth. The view was amazing for us (see picture and video). If that is the view you are looking for and want to enjoy fine dining, then this may be a place for you.

We were ‘dragged’ in off the streets by a couple of members of staff touting for business and it was the best decision of the weekend in London. Beautiful top floor setting overlooking Trafalgar Square and St Martins place. The food was fantastic, the service first class. I’m coeliac and the knowledge of the menu and gluten was excellent and they use a gf soy which opens up pretty much all of the menu.

Introduced to this place earlier in the week and loved it. Really delicious food and love that you can choose your size of rice, spice and a side too. Really tasty and great value. Second visit and had the thinly sliced beef curry. Delicious. Not a place for a long meal but a perfect refuelling before heading off to theatre or something!

Visited for a birthday meal at lunchtime on Saturday. Staff were great, food was amazing! We would definitely return! Recommend the loaded fries!

Situated in the middle of theatre district. Tasty food. Nice miso and very tender and delicate gyoza. 10 gyoza + miso + small beer = £ 15

Came here to start off our little Birthday day out to treat my girlfriend who loves all things Japan. And we both HIGHLY recommend coming here! Let me just quickly summarise this place for the readers out there: - Knowledgeable, friendly and highly attentive staff - Amazing selection of sakes, cocktails, whiskeys, etc. - Food that's fresh and really tasty (highly recommend the Chicken Fry!) A bit of a hidden gem in Covent Garden that we'll definitely be back to for the sake flights and sake school! If you've been thinking about trying Japanese cuisine, or already love it, just get down here and enjoy yourself!

A bit low key and off the track in Victoria, but excellent food and quick and attentive service. Will be back again.
