Ginza St. James's - Japanese Restaurant

"Real Japanese - Top quality I have been to Ginza a few times and every time the overall experience gets better and better. The quality of the food is excellent and the presentation is sophisticated, in true Japanese style. I definitely recommend the wagyu tartare and the lobster, they were amazing. You won't be able to find this quality in any other restaurant in London. The staff is very welcoming and professional. The service was spot on and each dish was described to us really well. The waitress was very attentive to every detail, as well as the sommelier who was very prepared and experienced. You have to try it to understand! 10/10"

"Did a set menu when we visited this summer and it was a great experience. We were able to get the table to see the chef cooking the steaks and lobsters and this added to the overall brilliant experience. Every dish was beautiful and the service was fantastic and to also mention the bar staff upstairs that prepared a lovely cocktail."

"We came here to celebrate my partner's birthday and had the Japanese afternoon tea. Two of our party were halal with one requiring no fish. We're quite new to high end afternoon teas and with hindsight I did feel a bit exploited. We didn't realise we were being charged £20 for still water and combined with the service charge I essentially paid for an extra afternoon tea! Furthermore they weren't prepared for the dietary requirements specified despite me booking well in advance. They confused my mum's halal requirement with vegetarian and though she said she was fine with the mistake, she did wish she had the halal chicken available.i also suspected all of us were given halal chicken as beef was completely absent from all afternoon teas which waiter said was not halal. A beef burger was featured on the afternoon tea menu but none of us received. Instead we got salmon while my mum got a plate of teriyaki chicken which she felt was sorta thrown together last minute. We all loved the food, just disappointed that the waiters weren't clear they were charging us extortionately for water. And other high end afternoon teas we've tried recently had unlimited refills including the teas, and even free extras. We only got one portion of tea - and matcha at the end to finish."

"What an amazing place! Vey delicious food! I left the place feeling very full. The teppanyaki was impeccable - the best in London. I especially liked the chicken, the meet was so succulent. The service was incredible, I felt very much cared for. And considering the price, the quality of food and portion size was more than generous. Will definitely come back for more."
