   My favourite Japanese restaurant in London. Being going since 1999. I have traveled extensively in Japan and Kikuchi is great in comparison. Sashimi is simply fantastic, especially the fatty tuna and yellow tail.

   It was the first Omakase menu we tried and it was amazing. Great variety, fantastic flavour. The service was great, they explained every single part of the menu. Lovely prepared, with lots of attention to detail. It is not a large restaurant so it was quiet enough to have a good conversation. Definitely recommend to everyone who loves sushi.

   We went to Kikuchi to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed. We love sushi but wanted to raise the bar and have a real treat so booked the omakase. I’d read a number of reviews and really liked the authenticity of Kikuchi. We walked in and were immediately seated at one of the 16 seats. Make sure you book as we saw multiple people turned away. Throughout the evening, every course was incredible in presentation and flavour. The staff were attentive and helpfully explained each dish. There was nothing we didn’t enjoy. This was our first omakase experience but it certainly won’t be our last. If you’re looking for somewhere for a special occasion, book Kikuchi.

   the food itself is great quality but it should be at this price point - the restaurant decor and ambience needs a complete rethink - service was charming and the drinks menu is very limited unless you want Sake

    Went for a date night. With the wife unfortunately. (Hahahahahahahaha. Joke.) Having not fully looked at the menu I automatically thought there would be some hot food on the menu. (The missus is the sushi fan...I'm ambivalent.) I think there was one Black Cod dish. It was stunning. And so was the sushi we shared. Awesome. Lovely attentive service. A meal as smooth as the Saki I had with it. V. good. Unpretentious. Calm. Quality.

    The restaurant was relatively small, and the decor was fairly dated. Tables were sticky and feel like they should have been thrown out years ago. Food was mediocre at best, with much better value to be had in many other restaurants that charge similarly.

    Excellent sushi as if you were dinning in Tokyo. However cheap is not. You are expected to spend minimum £40 per person. Omakase (chef’s choice ) is £100 .

    Service and food was excellent! Wanted to thank the chefs personally but they seemed really busy. The chefs put a lot of effort and intricate details into the food and I loved everything! Servers were super super sweet too :) One downside is that I wish I had cash on me so that I could’ve tipped our servers! This place is definitely worth it!

    Exceptional sushi at a very reasonable price (for great sushi). At £100, the omakase menu is great value. Only one hot dish, very sushi-focused. Highly recommend seats at the bar.

    Absolutely first class. There are hundreds of "Japanese" restaurants in London, most of which are run by Chinese or Korean staff so while it might look the same to the western eye, there is a difference. Kikuchi is the real deal (my wife is Japanese, she should know!) and the difference is in the details, the quality of food, the matching and balancing of tastes and in knowing the right way to serve everything. You can pay more for a fine dining Japanese experience but you won't taste better Japanese food in London. If your budget allows, I strongly recommend the omakase (chef's choice) menu. Ok, it's £100, but it will take your experience of this cuisine to a different level. And you will feel full afterwards (unlike Sushi Tetsu where you still have room for a burger!). My only slight disappointment: I am not a fan of macha ice cream. Every Japanese restaurant seems to think there is only one flavour for ice cream and it's macha (maybe sometimes goma) - strange that when they have many unique fruits and berries in Japan, they always choose tea. Aside from that one very minor thing, the food was subline, the service was warm and friendly and the ambience just perfect. I'd strongly recommend it.

    Absolutely delicious omakase menu with attentive and friendly service. We had an accompanying sake ‘flight’ which really complemented the meal. Honestly the best Japanese food we’ve had in London for some time. Would really recommend it! Will definitely be going back soon!

    The food was very good. High quality fish for sure but I truly believe that £100pp for the tasting menu is way too much with what offered. Maybe we will come back in the future but only for the sashimi.

    The food was fine but at £100 per head you’d want to come here for an occasion or a date I would’ve thought. However, there is no atmosphere in here and the interior resembles a middle range value cafe rather than a restaurant. Sushi were fresh.
