Takahashi

"The best Japanese experience in all of London; and my favorite restaurant. Just 8 seats, only the absolute freshest and top quality fish selected and flown in from all over the world, prepared with absolute precision. We were back last night and continue to be wowed and impressed with creative new dishes from Chef. Sea Urchin (Uni) from Iceland had just come into season and scallops from Hokkaido served tempura topped with fresh truffle shavings were among the standouts from the 13+ little works of art that comprised the omakase. Excellent value for money considering the ingredients served (A5 Wagyu, Oscetra Gold Caviar, etc). Extensive and well curated Sake and wine list. Book well in advance at set date-windows released on their website."

"Absolutely fantastic omakase experience, everything is so well thought out and delicious. A lovely intimate dining experience and Takahashi san creates each dish with such care. Will definitely be coming back, thank you for a wonderful evening!!!!!!"

"I took my partner for dinner at Takahashi last night and it was quite honestly one of the most incredible meals of ours lives. With only four of us in the restaurant, 12 ever max apparently, we were really guaranteed the chef's full attention to detail. We watched a true artist at work. We had the premium omakase, which is only available on select dates - not cheap, but then again cheap sushi never equals good sushi in my experience, and this is quite incredible sushi. 18 small delicacies were served, each one perfectly balanced. Sounds a lot, but each portion was perfectly sized so you could easily enjoy them all without feeling too stuffed to move. I doubt that there are many Japanese restaurants in London that produce food to this level. Definitely not your average sushi restaurant - come here if you want a truly unique experience which you rarely find outside of Japan."

"we came for the premium omakase, and it was as amazing as it sounds. the food was so exquisite, flavours were so balanced and clean. nothing was pretentious or overly frilly fancy, every ingredient spoke for itself and shined with each other. really beautiful meal, amazing melt in the mouth sushi, the wagyu was beautifully juicy, and the dessert was a great end to the meal. even the mushrooms were full of flavour. the restaurant represented its food — simple, unassuming, but quality above all else. we could choose our sake cups, and sushi was served with a brush for soy sauce and a wet towel for your fingers (sushi counter style). guidance for every course was given to maximize enjoyment, and the service was amazingly attentive, but not intrusive at all. 10/10, if you *love* japanese food, this is a must visit."

"This place bets their all on the food and it definitely pays off. The food is simply of a tier that is rare to find in London; compared to other high-end Japanese places, the quality and complexity of Takahashi’s dishes really shows. We ordered the omakase and all the dishes were very thoughtful and elegantly showcased the Japanese style. Sushi in particular was as good as you get in Japan. Also very competitive in terms of value. Decor and service is simple and a complement to the cuisine - no need for over-the-top extras here."
