    All staff are good looking. The fish oil of the tuna melted in my mouth. Love the sashimi and nigiri box set. Picked the £28.99 set and it has dry ice. So fancy

    First timer I loved the sushi and a my wife loved chicken dish. The only issue was there must have been a problem in the kitchen. My first of 2 sushi orders came 45 minutes after I ordered it. The second came 10 minutes after that. The servers, however were very nice.

    A heartfelt thank you to Akatuki Convent Garden for an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, every detail was thoughtful and beautifully presented. The ambiance was serene and elegant, the food absolutely exquisite - a true celebration of flavors. But what truly made the evening special was the surprise birthday treat. It was more than just a gesture - it was personal, warm, and deeply touching. The presentation, the attention to detail, and the kindness of the staff made the celebration feel genuinely magical. Thank you for turning a special day into a cherished memory. We’ll be talking about it for a long time to come!

    Tried the sushi / sashimi set which was truly outstanding! Well worth the price considering the quality and prime location of the restaurant (note minimum order for 2 persons). Service and ambience were impeccable. Will definitely return again!

    Akatuki offers a refined yet playful take on modern Japanese dining. The scallops roll incorporates asparagus and zucchini, topped with tartare sauce. The result is an oceanic-taste roll with a balanced umami profile. The wagyu ebi roll is another indulgent dish, featuring seared wagyu, breaded shrimp, and asparagus. Kaminari flame skewers arrive in a dramatic fashion, with the waiter igniting the gin, setting the skewers on fire right in front of you. The plum wine from the shiso plum bites gives an herbaceous tang to the already tasty tomatoes. The seafood tartare is my favourite, featuring chopped sashimi, a spicy dressing, and Parmesan. The result is a delectable and colourful dish.

    I drove 3 hours to London the day before the booking with text message confirmation for 4 persons and I replied “YES” with returned message” see you tomorrow”. I arrived 15 minutes before my booking @1pm today to find that the restaurant door was locked and it’s dark inside without any staff. I kept calling the phone no. till 1:15pm but no one answered. I was frustrated and called the other branch and the staff didn’t know what happened to the Covent Garden branch. The open table app still shown my booking. Later on, the text reply was it’s temporarily closed due to unforeseen circumstances and that’s it. I wondered that if your own website changed to “ temporarily closed”; at least your staff would inform all parties booked and wouldn’t let your guests stuck in traffic for half an hour in Covent Garden, searched for parking space for half an hour and waited outside the restaurant for half an hour. It’s my first time to have such an unhappy experience in dining. Open table app should also be updated too.
