Engawa Restaurant

Couldn’t have asked for more, the food is amazing!

After finishing my omakase meal, I was never once approached by restaurant staff to check how I was doing. When I asked the chef for more sushi, I was told that the kitchen was closed. I paid my bill and went to speak with the manager. The manager told me that the servers are not mind readers and that I had to find someone with whom to place another order and argues with me for 5 minutes before I walked out.

Service and ambience were good. Food was just average.

Impressed by the quality of food and service, no sign of deterioration on my 4th visit. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Second time we've eaten here and still a big fan. Food is delicious with excellent presentation and attentive service. Would thoroughly recommend

The best culinary experience my girlfriend and I have ever had.

Amazing meal! The atmosphere as well as the food was simply amazing.

Very good food with Kobe beef and other tasting dishes. Bit cramped due to a very small space so be ready to get your chair bumped by the waiters passing around

The food was really outstanding. The steak melted in the mouth, the sashimi and sushi was so tasty as was everything we ate. Good drinks options as well. The service was also excellent. We really enjoyed it and can’t wait to go back.

Very good food, but you pay for it. There is a nice atmosphere, but it is a busy one that is more suited to a lunch time booking rather than a late night one. Avoid if you want a romantic evening out. However, the beef is amazing.

Appalling value for money. Extremely expensive for what it is. Borderline disgraceful

Exceptional food, beautifully presented. The bento box of sashimi, each morsel presented in its own little ceramic dish with accompaniments, was a delight for the eyes as well as the taste buds. Then the wagyu beef just melted in the mouth - pure delight.

The idea was good, merch food and fun together. But tbh I would not go there again because it's little bit unmatch for the price and foods. The course is not good as I expected for a long time. It's kind of focus too much on the outside and lost Japanese food's spirit in it.

Everything about the experience was amazing, from the food to the service. Thank you for a great evening.

Excellent food and service. Restaurant much smaller than we expected

Great food

steak is really nice.

that was really nice night and so kindly for prepare birthday cake for my gf！

The food was excellent and great staff and pretty good to watch to cooking by chef. However, the price was higher. Which mean that i was still hungry. But, mostly girl like here to taking a picture and food at all.

I recommend you here and will come back next time again.

We chose to eat sushi before heading to the theatre. We had sashimi and nigiri salmon and tune and also some maki rolls (not on the menu).

Tuna in particular was excellent and salmon very good.

Booked this restaurant for a birthday dinner. Requested a birthday desert surprise in the booking and spoke to the waitress mid meal. They forgot about the desert and then at the end pretended they hadn’t and came out with three pieces of fruit on a plate saying happy birthday. Food is ok but overpriced.

It was an absolutely exceptional experience. The sushi box there is innovative and delicious. Meanwhile the steak is amazing which recalls my beautiful memories in Japan.

Wonderful food. But it is too crowded. I can't sit comfortable

Really amazing food. A visual feast as well. Great service.

We ate two Times at Engawa during our week long Stay in London. On both occasions the food were greater than the set menu on UMU we had during the same week.

The service in Engawa was amazing and they recommended such great finds. All of our dishes came in a timely manner, one after the other and they were all superb. A burst of flavour with each bite. The sake that was recommended to us was also a perfect pairing to our meal. It looks like the chef has a love for uni and foie gras, which incorporated in a few dishes that trully made it remarkable.

Incredibly tasty dinner. Lots of food. Allover a very nice experience.

Overall really good restaurant, but it was slightly subdued when one of the senior waitstaff, reprimanded the kitchen staff in front of us. Food was great, we enjoyed sitting at the counter, and the sushi is very fresh and more authentic than some places in London.

I ordered a table for 22:00. I was never told that the kitchen was closed very close to this hour. The waitress forgot my dish. Overall the expectation was great and the disappointment was even greater

Cool restaurant
Nice food

Absolutely brilliant. Excellent foods which was beautifully presented.

Beautiful food beautifully crafted.

The size of the restaurant detracts from the experience, as service more often than not has to be passed over the heads of diners and tables are so tight you can’t cross your legs.

A very reassuring price tag overall so you need deep pockets, though food and cocktails were exquisitely presented & tasted good.

Personally not convinced by the chef’s special but should have checked before we ordered the 5 course menu, though the chef’s compliment appetiser was delicious.

The atmosphere and the food were amazing. Overall experience is not that great since it is incompatible with the restaurant reputation. I asked for a dining table since it’s my boyfriend’s birthday, went to the restaurant, the waitress asked me that she has reserved a counter table for me?! After awhile, she sat us down on the dining table which was fine. Since it’s a fine dining place, I asked for the birthday “service” which most restaurants do and I saw they do it earlier for the table next to us. But unfortunately, I was waiting, we asked for the bill and they “skip” us somehow. So I can say that either the restaurant did not go “above and beyond” with their service or writing special request here on this app is total useless.

Excellent service

Excellent service was fitting of a Japanese restaurant in London (if you have ever been to Japan you'll understand that the customer service is second to none).

Food was fantastic and the chef was very accommodating when it came to any food allergies and not cross contaminating anything.

Would highly recommend this place if you're a fan of good sushi and sometimes struggle to find it in London. Not the cheapest but worth every penny.

It was probably the best meal that I have ever had in London. Everything was truly exceptional. I highly recommend Engawa.

We lived in japan for 12 years and had Japanese people in the group so are tough critics who had high expectations. Service was really good and a welcoming atmosphere. Restaurant is very small with limited privacy. Food is well presented for a Japanese restaurant in London but nowhere near Japanese levels. It is tasty but way over priced for what you get. The fish is quite fresh and Wagyu is tasty. There are some twists on the dishes such as use of kimichi which a traditional Japanese restaurant would never do. Not that they don’t work but this is a well thought out restaurant trying to be Japanese but not quite making it on the smaller touches.

The food is fresh, the service is good, and i will come again.

The place was amazing! Loved their food and service was very professional!

I'm not an expert about details but the experience we had overall was amazing. Food, staff, presentation, everything was great and on point for our anniversary. In line with the high-end standards of London restaurants you can't go wrong if you're looking to have a great time.
