Amazing, very underrated, insanely delicious food, great service and care, and they also surprised us with a little treat at the end :) One of the best meals I’ve had for its price. Great chefs too.

The quality of the fish is hands down some of the best I’ve had in London. It is a small, intimate setting with only bar seating. Sauces were well made and the rice was delicious.

Ukiyo HandBar roll is just an amazing place to go, food is fresh and the chef is cooking everything in front of your eyes. The atmosphere is very cozy, it’s a small restaurant with only the counter, we loved it. + The owner is a super nice guy !

We went for the tasting menu, also let the chef decide what we eat. Food is amazing. Ingredients are fresh and the testing menu is good value. Service is a bit of a miss, the waitresses kept asking us if we need anything else (and to pay) when there were still more dishes to come as part of the tasting menu. If there is time limit for the booking and it's not enough for the tasting menu, why did they not let us know when we ordered? Or why having the tasting menu in the menu? The chef was very understanding and amazing though :) Would recommend for a quick sushi fix.

Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. The tuna tartare is a must.

Abbiamo cenato in questo locale per il mio compleanno, un’esperienza di ottimo livello! Abbiamo preso il Tasting Menu da 9 portate e che dire: un piatto più buono dell’altro! Pesce fresco, il tutto preparato al banco davanti a noi, tutto veramente eccellente, porzioni abbondanti (siamo usciti veramente sazi), prezzo corretto per la qualità della cena e per la città! Unica pecca: gli sgabelli. Un po’ troppo bassi per un bancone così. Complessivamente, resta uno dei migliori sushi mai mangiati fino ad ora!
