About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Great for creative cocktails
Kurobuta takes its inspiration from the Izakayas of Japan, where tapas-style plates are served to accompany drinks in a casual setting. Originally a pop up, Kurobuta has been such a hit with diners who fell for the unique chilled out ambience and exceptional Japanese food, it’s now a permanent fixture in London’s Marble Arch and Chelsea’s Kings Road.

    I’ve been visiting here for many years - we strayed con by here way back when it was just a pop up! I’m sorry to say that this last visit was pretty disappointing and no where near the standard I would expect! I found the food wasn’t executed as well and signature dishes such as the walnut candid aubergine was sloppy and warm not as id remembered. Cocktails were lovely and the staff very friendly and attentive but for the price tag the food didn’t match up to the high standard I was expecting! I would even go so far as to say the actual ambience was pretty flat and generally felt more like a a canteen than a restaurant! I had a wonderful evening with my friend but it really wasn’t as good as it had been and it’s not cheap! Let’s hope it was just a blip!

    Food was nothing special, tempura tasted like was fried in the same oil as the mushrooms which made it taste horrible. Sushi seemed ok even though the rice was overcooked. Place was ok and good cocktails from the bar, pricey but standard for Kings road.

    Food very disappointing- had to send two dishes back as we couldn’t eat them. Much better Japanese restaurants nearby. Staff nice but didn’t seem to know the menu very well.

    Ok place but not great. Staff is friendly but food is below average of other Japanese restaurants in the area. We had several dishes but nothing exciting.
