Harden's says

Reopening in February at a new address in Bayley Street, Bloomsbury, this highly rated sushi and omakase specialist (from the team behind Islington's Hot Stone) had a brief run in Fitzrovia before closing down last year. With just 10 seats at tables and another eight at a sushi counter, it is a tiny space but is big in culinary ambition.

* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

Re-launched in February 2024 at a new address in Bayley Street, Bloomsbury, this sushi and omakase specialist (from the team behind Islington’s Hot Stone) had a brief run in Fitzrovia before closing down last year. With just 10 seats at tables and another eight at a sushi counter, it is a tiny space, but is big in culinary ambition. Too little feedback for a rating, but one report applauds “fantastic food with excellent service, in a beautiful venue”.

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).
