   Very little space between seatings. For the price similar to Roka you are expecting more comfort.

   As always, the food was top class. However, the 2pm table was very rushed as the kitchen closes at 3pm. The restaurant shouldn’t rushed customers to order less or finish quick as Japanese delicacy shouldn’t be rushed. It also ruins the experience given the level of spend. If you open for 2pm you should expect customer to spend at least 1.5-2hours as you have a 5 course worth £96 on your menu.

    Small intimate venue in great location and despite risking some Japanese purists by putting the likes of broccoli in the sashimi box it was beautifully presented and most importantly great fish, tempura and steak. Cocktails, mocktails and desserts all great with a great serving team. Note they do not do sushi rolls but nigiri.

    Excellent food/service. Small space so expect to be right next to other diners but if that doesn’t bother you I highly recommend it. A variety of traditional Japanese food with a few unexpected and delicious bits thrown in. The wagyu beef is heaven.

    Amazing food, I loved the 5 course dinner (my wife took 3 course since we only wanted 1 dessert) - sushi box is amazing and can be served as appetizer for extra 5 pound - worth it!) decoration of food, plates and overall serving was beautiful. Excellent service, and great Sake.

    Staff is very attentious and considerate. Space is a bit short, specially at the counter. Had the omasake three course with the wagyu. Starting sashimi was very good, but the chef's special, the mushroom broth, was bland and flavourless. The meat was impeccable, tasty and rich, very well presented, but the short portion (as expected) did not really made up for some of the other menu shortcomings.

    Lovely bento box that looked fantastic and overall had some unusual and perfectly displayed dishes. My two not so positive comments would be: 1. The tempura was made up of two halves (whole chunks) of raw red onion. For a restaurant of this calibre and standard i really am not sure why they did this as it was the worst tempura i have ever had and left an awful taste. 2. The Wagyu beef stew was not great. A shame to put Wagyu beef in a stew and it was somewhat fatty. The rest was faultless.

    Lovely atmosphere and the service was top notch! The presentation of the food was also wonderful. Only thing that was disappointing was the quality of the tuna we ordered. It was definitely not justified for the price and I even had a bone in there. The portions are super small and you will enjoy if you are not expecting to be filled up.

    Soy sauce as one of the bento box variety seems cheap. Every box should have some food. Not condiments.

    I had booked a special price on the internet, and felt a bit of a second-class citizen as a result. Nevertheless, the food was good, the ambience was fine, the service was courteous if not warm. Prices for additional items were high (e.g., £5 for soft drinks). At full price, I would not have felt it was good value for money. At half price (£25+added tip) I thought it was ok…

    This is my third or fourth time at Engawa, it never disappoints. The food and service were excellent, this is my favourite high-end Japanese restaurant in London. It is a bit on the expensive side but the quality of the dinning experience makes up for that. I recommend the Omakase 3 or 5 course - sensational stuff.
