Harden's survey result
Summary
Its predecessor 20 Berkeley (RIP) didn’t last long – although Niji does mean ‘20’ in Japanese, and is under the same ownership – so The Creative Restaurant Group drafted in one of the star chefs in their portfolio, Endo Kazutoshi, to zhoosh up the offering at this Mayfair property. Now focused on ‘Katei Ryori’ (home-cooked Japanese food) and sushi, the end-result inspires deeply mixed feelings in our annual diners’ poll. To fans it’s “all-round outstanding”, in particular the “incredible sushi”. But, given its pedigree, expectations are very high, and a significant proportion say it’s “nice but not amazing…”; “disappointed, having experienced Endo’s food at the Rotunda…”; “everything was fine but it’s not exciting and extremely expensive”.
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).
