The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Kensington and Chelsea London

A menudo vengo aquí para almorzar por mi cuenta cuando estoy en el barrio y siempre estoy impresionado con el servicio, la calidad de la comida, y el hecho de que puedo conseguir una mesa / asiento sin hacer una reserva. Gran lugar.

Una buena selección de tés elaborados por Chris y Charlie. Sus tés matcha están entre los mejores que he probado en Londres. ¡La leche de guisante fue una revelación! Las deliciosas picaduras y bocadillos dulces y salados son todos veganos (la tienda es vegana y ecológica), particularmente me gusta el shroom: perros y pastel de matcha. Excelente servicio amigable - mi intento - parar cuando me encuentre en Kensington High Street.

Service was first class, but the quality of food was in excess of multiple stared Michelin Restaurants nearby. Could not rate this place more highly.

Not sure how this place has such a good rating. Good ramen starts w good broth and the broth at this place is quite mediocre. The only good thing about the restaurant was the service. The servers were very nice and professional. The food was- nah.

Yes, a bit on pricey side, but you get what you pay for! Service very good (they even let me borrow cable and plug to charge my phone - no grumbles). Food was excellent. Had a couple sides as appetizers and sushi - all very fresh and great individual flavors. Waffle dessert was yummy.

We had coffee and Japanese cakes in the cafe by the entrance on the ground floor. The coffee was made freshly through a filter and was very smooth. The cakes all seem to be chestnut based and are served prepackaged but were very nice and something a little bit different.

Rachid was great and efficient.

I had such a good time celebrating my birthday at Benihana. I had the private room with 11 guests which was easy to book. They took our pre orders which made the day much easier. Unfortunately I was running extremely late but the hosts and waiters at Benihana were sooo accommodating and kind to my guests while they waited and insisted they could wait for me to begin the food. The food was amazing as per usual. The cooking show could’ve been better but he was cooking for 12 people which is a big job. overall a 5/5 experience and will definitely be back.

This was, without a doubt, the worst service experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, no one greeted us, no smile, no “hello,” not even basic eye contact from any of the staff. The atmosphere felt cold and entirely impersonal. The lack of hospitality made us so uncomfortable that we left before even placing an order. The staff’s behavior was unwelcoming, rude, and careless, making it clear they had no interest in providing good service. When we left, none of the staff bothered asking why we were leaving! It’s evident that management is failing to foster a positive or cohesive work environment. There was no sense of coordination or understanding among the team. I feel like they couldn’t care less of their job, no motivation at all which could explain the overall lack of morale and miserable attitudes.

Great food & lovely menus where the images are aside all the food options. Real cool set up with the seating, adds to the Japanese atmosphere but honestly really difficult to get in the seat. Been there before and got the bento box before which was good. The lunchtime deal was a good value.

Excellent experience, always ask if the dish is spicy because here they take it for granted.

They have not bothered to update their opening hours - they close at 9pm on Sunday not 8pm

Really good! From matcha to poké, udon noodles, katsu curry, bento, cakes and more! Big selection. Staff are friendly and pleasant. Busy. I luckily managed to grab a table around 16:00 on a Saturday afternoon. Very reasonably priced given the area. Located right near South Kensington tube station. I went with the OSAKA FIRE poké (comes in two sizes) comprising salmon sashimi, spicy mayo, kimchi, shichimi spice and crispy onions. So good. Really tasty and fiery. Didn't make you feel bloated. Light but filling. Freshly made and nicely presented. Food comes out quickly once you order. The matcha mango juice was very refreshing and not too sweet. Perfect. Clean. More a place to grab a bite to eat quickly rather than lingering for ages. Highly recommend.

Super duper yummy and lovely service. Great dessert. The pistachio cake was my fav. Will come back soon.

Fresh, well presented and high quality sushi!! The food was amazing and most definitely worth the price!
