Delicious as if it was obvious. Seasonal fresh fish from Japan, with a delicate taste and perfectly prepared. We had salmon roe (amazing), eel, yellow tail, fatty tuna, and the seasonal ones - red snapper and guelly jack (a discovery). It's probably our 4th or 5th time, never been disappointed. All the staff is Japanese, as is of course the chef, and the greetings are just so warm. Thank you, we'll come back again and again.

This is a tiny cosy place, it feels like you are not in London. For people, who prefer good quality food, rather than trendy spots with a huge crowd. It is lovely to see couples on a date , enjoying quiet atmosphere, having long conversations, enjoying food. You can truly tell the difference. This is a place where you forget about your phone for good.

Just incredible. Been to Japan 3 times, eaten sushi all over London and around the world. This has to be some of the best sushi I've ever had, 100% the best sushi ive ever had in London during my 33 years of life in the city. The service was excellent and attentive, and the quality and freshness of ingredients was beyond exceptional. I have never had Ikura like that in my life - WOW. This place is a perfect manifestation of a chef that not only loves and understands excellent food, but is always passionate and proud of their craftsmanship. Even the green tea was fantastic. It's worth every penny. Well done, to the entire Kikuchi team!

Definitely the freshest and most expertly crafted sushi you will find in London. Every sushi tastes exquisite, the sides are simple but tasty. I'm not one for alcohol at all but I love their plum sake. Service is warm and friendly, ambience is cozy. Price is on the more expensive side but worth every penny when you want to treat yourself. Cannot recommend this more!

It was perfect as we were looking for Japanese experience in London. Not your standard London place. Instead - small, quiet, unique atmosphere, very friendly staff, food top quality and super fresh. All staff were from Japan - you can just tell they know what they are doing! Recommend for truly Japanese dining experience, including the great selection of Sake.

Overall Kikuchi is a great restaurant and worth go once for a special occasion. Regarding the pick of ingredients, maybe I wasn’t going at the right food season. Marinated aubergine was a great start. Yellowtail tartar flavour was covered by the red pepper, probably not the best combination. Suzuki sashimi was not the best choice of the season. Followed by suzuki sashimi, there was a sea bream sashimi salad. I assume that is for comparing the texture and tastes of sea bream and sea bass. However, the salad flavour covered the sea bream flavour. It was still a good touch though. Was expecting grilled fish to be black cod instead of grilled yellow tail. The sushi selection was great, the sea urchin was not bitter but could be choosing a better option. Overall I enjoyed the sushi, especially the aged akami. Botan ebi miso soup was great but sort of lack of sea flavour, it was mild but okay. Service was great and met the standard of the restaurant priced at this level. Would consider going back to another season to see if the restaurant uses other ingredients. Overall would rate 70/100.
