Harden's says
High-end Japanese omakase dining in a stylish setting at this Marylebone offshoot of a Beirut original from the Nothing But Love Group.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Every dish is divine and it’s so interesting sitting at the 11-seat counter watching your food being prepared” if you visit this Marylebone two-year-old focused on omakase. An offshoot of a Beirut-based group – and with a basement cocktail bar – it is unusually vibey for this genre of venture. “There are all the expected ingredients: caviar, wagyu beef, lobster and all are just exquisite; with sushi that’s a work of art”. One or two reports consider it “overpriced” and it’s not perhaps as ‘pure’ as those venues run by the Japanese masters. But more representative is the view that “while you may not think the cost is a bargain, the fact that Michelin have yet to award it a star means it’s not yet as expensive as other omakase restaurants that do have Michelin stars”. Top Tip – you can walk in for lunch, when there’s a lower-priced omakase option, or you can eat from relatively inexpensive bento boxes served in the bar.
Summary
“Not quite the best sushi omakase in the now very competitive London market but nevertheless very good” – this “beautiful and serene” Japanese venture arrived in Marylebone in early 2023 and early reporters are uniformly impressed. “Service is attentive but not overwhelming and the delicious food is prepared with a lot of care”. It’s an offshoot of a Beirut original from the Nothing But Love Group. (Lucy Thackray in The Independent was also a fan: “…confident and unshowy. This isn’t theatrical “pan-Asian” dining made for Instagram… it’s understated Japanese fine dining which takes its heritage seriously, but isn’t afraid to add a twist here and there”).
For 33 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).
