LL HuiDefinitely one of the top Japanese restaurants in London with Michillin ⭐. Top end service for fine dine and great atmosphere for dating as well as anniversaries. Suitable for couples, business meals and girls catch ups. Not even mentioning the great designs of the fine dishes, and the freshest taste of fish sashimi.
Katrina BradyDefinitely worth the Michelin star. Best Kaiseki ever especially with the sake pairing. Each course was excellent and was beautifully plated. I would definitely go every time I come to London.
sung po-yuThis is a Japanese restaurant with a touch of western inspiration, at least for the tasting menu. But just a touch, not too much. As an Eastern Asian I often found merge style overdone, but this one is, surprisingly, all fine. The service was very attentive, maybe slightly too much. I surely cannot say we were not taken care of, though. It‘s hard to find a balance and to their credit, they are definitely not lazy to serve.
Sophia YuJust tried UMU’s new Spring Tasting Menu and it was absolutely amazing! 🌸 The scallop with sakura miso was so fresh and delicate, like a gentle breeze of spring. The sashimi selection—lobster, tuna, and squid—was beautifully presented and melted in the mouth.🔥 The charcoal-grilled tuna was next-level, perfectly smoky and tender, paired with Tokyo leek and wasabi for an explosion of flavors. The bamboo shoot rice with wagyu was the ultimate comfort dish, and the sakura ice cream at the end? Simply divine! 🌿 A true Kyoto-style experience in the heart of London. Highly recommend!
