Harden's says
Tucked away behind Harrods in Knightsbridge, a vibey, design-led Japanese restaurant from a Middle East-based group (which also runs Sucre in Soho). There's a ground-floor cafe and rooftop bar in addition to the main dining room with open kitchen.
Harden's survey result
Summary
An “excellent new place” – even if we’re still not sure about the naming of this large, high-ceilinged ‘Sensory Japanese Dining Experience’ (complete with chic roof garden) near Harrods, it scores nothing but positives in our annual diners’ poll. Part of a glossy chain with branches in Ibiza, Riyadh, Dubai and Beirut – the food from the open kitchen (sushi and dishes with rice like salmon teriyaki) is simple but “beautifully presented” and the overall scene very vibey (“an excellent DJ plays a great selection of music at just the right level so you can enjoy the music but still chat without having to shout”). Top Tip – dip your toe in the water with the set lunch for £35 per person.
Summary
Tucked away a short walk from the back doors of Harrods – a design-led Japanese venue from a Middle East-based group that came to London from Beirut via Dubai and Riyadh (and which also runs Sucre in Soho). Set over three glossy storeys, there’s a ground-floor cafe and rooftop bar in addition to the main dining room with open kitchen. We’re not sure about the name, but limited initial feedback on its food is mostly upbeat (“good quality, albeit omakase was somewhat unimaginative”). Top Menu Tip – you can try it out with their affordable three-course business lunch for £35 per person.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
