Permanently Closed - Ginza Onodera

We had a birthday dinner at Ginza Onodera. Foods is yummy, friendly staffs and they gave us a lovely birthday ice cream plate. Thank you Ginza team ❤️❤️❤️
Highly recommend ❤️

Was able to enjoy authentic food and service. Definitely coming back!!!

It is as good as expected. Same quality pasión and dedication like Tokio or NY. Master Chef Sakagami Akifumi has to be proud of his London team.

Friendly and very helpful service, excellent meal. Expensive but worth it.

Thank you for everything you gave at my birthday :)

Waitress are awesome. The food though, not that good. I can feel they use great ingredients. However, the sushis in general were below average, with the seaweed mushy and chewy, the rice undercooked, and the bite size in some preparations too big.
The black cod was alright, but for £58 for 200g I would expect it to be amazing.
The ambience is gelidy: really quiet and not comfy.
They have a great selection of sakes and drinks in general, but they only offer three options for sake by the glass, which I don't think it is the best selection.
The crew, again, was the highlight - very attentive and friendly, explaining the menu very well.

Real Japanese resturant! Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!

Was really good. Authentic japanese food and most importantly, the service was fantastic. Attention to detail and little surprise anniversary letter was so cute on our dessert plate! Thank you so much Ginza team!

Ambience was only due to current situation so was not very bisy

Simply the best. Thanks for a wonderful evening - food, drink, ambience and the service faultless. We'll be back as soon as we can !

Very bad experience. Terrible food. Sukiyaki comes with cold temperature and egg is overcooked. It tastes below the average. I only finished 1/3 and the waiter asked me whether I was too uncomfortable to finish the meal, or I got some stomach problems. Excuse me?
I have ordered Chu-toro but turn out to be Akami. And the waiter explained a lot with chicanery and it’s really annoying during dinner time with someone keep talking to me and say nonsense words. I have visited Onedera in Hawaii and LA and the one in London is not the same thing.
I will never come back again. Good luck.

A few extra touches made the dining experience memorable

Speak easy setting, good food, some items are a bit pricey but great quality

The first time for me to eat Japanese afternoon tea. But it is not enough for the afternoon tea since most of afternoon tea are refillable except this one.
The food is ok, not bad and not special.
Compared the food with the price , overpriced!
They did not try to fill the tea with best service but I accept the servant are nice with smile.

Sevice and quality exceptiin as always- Currently a reduced menu and dining space but all our favourites still in place.
Excellent sake range and assistance of the sommelier always a highlight to visiting.

A lovely meal for my father's birthday. Love the birthday card the restaurant presented to us with our photo on it. Thanks for making our celebration extra special! After leaving the restaurant, we remembered we celebrated my father's birthday im the same place 10 years ago!

This is an excellent restaurant and staffed by the loveliest staff. The food is great and the wine/sake list is awesome too. There is literally no reason why this should not be one of the places to go for Jspanese in London

The sushi omakase was such a great experience and the chef was very friendly.

Good food ! Sushi was not as cold as it should be !
Gesture of taking and presenting us a photograph of our
group after hearing it was my birthday was great as well as a desert !

What a disappointment.. I am Japanese I know what Japanese foods are. But ordinary tempra and dobin mushi more disappoint is main dish teriyaki chicken. It is not teriyaki sauce at all!!! I won’t recommend this restaurant

Amazing food and cocktails. We will definitely come back.

Mostly pleasant and helpful staff. Food mostly well-prepared and competent, albeit portion sizes not generous. Atmosphere was a little bit office-blockish.

Good restaurant but the service has been a little bit too long.

We had a good dinner at this restaurant. We selected the set menu for £70 (called Kaede)The service was largely attentive in the early part of the meal but became a little patchy later on. Overall we were impressed with most of the meal but less so with the main (we order both options between us - Salmon and Wagu boot) both of which were worthy but lacked much wow factor and we were happy we were sharing so neither had to wade through the whole dish. The amuse bouche was very good as was the sushi and the dumplings were also very good. The soup was worthy / nice but a little dull.

So overall good meal but not a great meal. Sushi and dumplings the best options on the set menu we tried.

Fantastic food and outstanding service for our anniversary dinner. The sake pairing was perfect (and good value). The Kobe beef was a treat (albeit expensive). Snow crab tempura was heavenly (even to someone who doesn’t normally go for tempura). Great advice on sake and Japanese whisky, and a lovely personalised dessert. The decor is understated but suitably Japanese minimalist. Perfect for a special occasion.

Food was amazing, the interior was also very beautiful

Came here for my annivesary with my boyfriend and we had the afternoon tea. The service was impeccable and they made the effort to present our main dessert with Happy Anniversary chocolate icing. They even took a picture of us and printed it out during our meal. The food was very high quality and having been to Japan, it felt like I was there again. Could not recommend enough!

Terrible service!

On the whole a good experience. Costly but that goes without saying.

Ginza Onodera provides outstanding food with a refined, formal environment. Sashimi and meat options are both offered and would be a good choice for a mixed group where some people may not like raw fish. If you are vegetarian/vegan there are not many options.
However, the food is executed immaculately in beautifully presented dishes that tasted as good as they looked. The service was also very attentive.
I particularly enjoyed the Miso Black Cod and the Chocolate Gateau with raspberry mochi.
Ginza Onodera is perfect for business lunches and more formal dining experiences. It is set on the lower ground floor and so offers a more serious, dimly lit atmosphere. My lunch at the restaurant was a casual lunch and was excellent, but I do feel dinner perhaps is the best time to go for the atmosphere.
Overall, I had an excellent dining experience. Ginza Onodera provides excellent food and service. However, note that it is expensive (especially the sake) and more suited perhaps to formal/ fine dining experiences in the evening.

Took my friend here for her birthday, love how they take a pic for you & make a card for the birthday celebrant! Very thoughtful & never had a restaurant do this ♥️

Service is nice but not great as compared to the Gonzalez Onodera in Shanghai which service is attentive . Eg in London ‘s Ginza Onodera, you do not have the plate for cutting the chicken or the plate for eating sushi, the waiters or waitress would not pay attention. The good is fine , but they are served in western way meaning as a course thus they do not serve with a small plate . But the course itself eg the chicken in Yuzu was served in a nice tall plate which not convenience for me to cut the chicken into small pieces. The vegi tempura is also a bit oily so I did not finished all, real good tempura should be fried and served where you do not find excessive oil. Which reminds me of the tempura tasting menu being so exquisitely done in Shanghai’s Ginza Onodera.

Beautiful place, great ambience and service. Highly recommend the teppanyaki

美味しかったです。

I really like this place and goes for special occasion.
But the price from open table is different to restaurant's actual price.
I spend more than I expected. Open table should update the price or offer the right price to customer.

The food was really good, yellowtail carpaccio for starter stand out, as well as all the selection of sushi and sashimi.

Service wise, maybe too many waiters around when I preferred to have bit less interaction.

Sommelier, a French lady I guess, did a great service, I was really pleased seeing her tasting the wine before serving.

A plus for reservation as I contacted them as I needed to know the vintage of the wine that I have had, they followed up and contacted me back.

I will definitely come back!

Pleasant dinner at Ginza Onodera. Food was mostly good - we ordered from the a la carte menu. One exception - the lamb cutlets from the grill were overcooked. They recooked them but the next dish was also overcooked but we ate it anyway.
Something I found strange was the sushi rice. It was darker than normal in color and at first we thought it may be brown rice. Upon asking they explained they were using a “special” red vinegar in the preparation. Frankly I didn’t think this did anything for the end result and actually felt the rice lacked the fragrance and texture of really good sushi rice. FYI I’ve lived 7 years in Tokyo and so have had my share of Japanese food. Fish was ok but not exceptional. Service started out attentive and prompt at 7:30 but slowed down significantly during the course of the dinner. The lady sommelier was very pleasant and helpful. They have an excellent selection of sake in addition to wine etc..
Price was ok for the quality provided. All in all an enjoyable evening but at this price point they should have very competent competition and I would try somewhere else next time.

The food was sensational!

Sitting at the counter provided a fantastic experience of food preparation in a clean and sophisticated way. The food was well seasoned and the staff were an absolute pleasure. Top ratings from me!
