They don’t use fresh rice . It was very dry . Fried oyster wasn’t fried up like a professional . More like a home food . As for saikyo yaki …. it was very fishy . Although they knew I’m allergic to coconuts and pineapple . They gave me an assortment fruits with pineapple …. As a Japanese …. the food quality is not a restaurant quality . It’s a home food . Also I just saw ready made sashimi piled up and stuck on the plate almost close to the floor in the kitchen .

* sashimi are.great.here,.price.on the high side. * general all.the food.are.delicious.

The decoration is authentic and some tables offer a nice separation from the rest of the place l. I have been to Chisou at least 4 times, it never disappoints. My all time favorites are mackerel rolls and the deep fried veggie which are quite delicate. Sake is good as well!

Great intimate spot for some exceptional sushi. The quality of the food is delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful. Probably want to come here to enjoy great food and good conversation. Their house sake is delicious! Try to arrive before the lunch rush to get a good place. Service is included at 15%.

This place is a legitimate izakaya to enjoy Japanese domestic food. I ordered two pieces of nigiri- Seared Fatty Tuna was good and Sea Urchin (from Canada) was a bit bitter. The chef told me urchin from the US is sweet, so I’d recommend asking the origin before ordering. Avocado Sashimi Salad and Grilled Mackerel (Shioyaki) were very good. Having grilled fishes in the menu is a huge plus for me. Mozuku shot is also a Japanese domestic food I don’t see often and I loved it. Finally, I tried Avocado tempura because it’s the first time I saw it in the menu. Avocado was a bit too soft for tempura and had monotonic taste for the entire dish. Conclusion: I would totally come back here for the izakaya menu (non-sushi, non-tempura menu). Sushi is good, but not exceptionally so. (Although they are doing a very good job for the price they charge!)

Absolutely amazing food. Freshest fish. Great flavors. Sake from small producer. An absolute delight of a place. I will definitely go back.

Fresh, straightforward Japanese dishes cooked well. Crunchy softshell crab (a bit oily though), flaky black cod, tender flavourful Wagyu, and melt in your mouth fatty tuna (a couple of the slices had hard fat lines that the cut could have done without). Great service. Overpriced Saké menu, the price doesn't represent the average quality of the bottles on offer. Good lunch spot, prompt service, recommended.

Love this restaurant. First time to this specific location in Knightsbridge. We thoroughly enjoyed the nigiri mix set and premium nigiri mix set. Beautifully presented at the perfect temperature (not cold). Uni (sea urchin) season is here so we were lucky enough to have the last portions of the fresh Icelandic arrival! Extensive menu. Casual setting.

Amazing sushi. Got the chirashi and a glass of the seasonal sake. Everything melts in your mouth.

This was the worst dining experience we had during our 7 days in London. Would not recommend this establishment to anyone who cares about their food because the staff and kitchen here definitely don’t. We were at Harrod’s and decided to come here for sushi because it was close by and had a high rating. The person who took our order kept trying to get us to order the grilled skewers as well but we only wanted sashimi and sushi. So we ordered two uni/sea urchin chawanmushi, the seaweed salad and the omakase sashimi to start. The chawanmushi was nice and smooth, but nothing special and a bit salty for my tastes. The uni on top was very high quality, sweet and creamy, and the star of the dish (as expected for the 14£ tag). Things started to go downhill when I bit into sand in the seaweed salad. My husband immediately called one of the staff, told him about the sand and had the dish sent back. We were both surprised by the lack of reaction from the staff, who just said “ok” and took the plate away. The sashimi was served next and, again, was excellent in quality. The scallops were particularly good. But then my husband found a bone in a slice of the white fish, I forget what it was called but it was the centerpiece of the omakase. My husband was furious and asked for the manager, but a second staff who received our complaint (different from the first person) said he would “take care of it and speak to the kitchen”. They replaced the white fish with rainbow trout, but we were pretty much done and just wanted to leave. The second staff apologized and said that the previous staff didn’t speak English so he didn’t understand our complaint with the salad, and the fishbone was unfortunate but "it happens" and none of the other customers there had any problems. Well you'll be serving bone to future customers with that kinda attitude. When we were about to ask for the bill, the second staff brought us a complimentary shrimp tempura as the kitchen's apology. Some apology this was, it was basically a greasy dish of tiny frozen shrimp thrown in beer batter and drenched in ponzu. You could literally taste the freezer. To call it tempura is an insult. The manager later brought us the bill and “apologized”, but she was laughing and all smiles and basically didn’t give a pence about our opinion. My husband saw the service charge on the bill and said we wouldn’t be paying for the horrible service, to which she said “ok, that’s what I thought, too”. Well if you thought that then maybe don’t put the service charge in as an actual gesture of apology. We got better service at Chinatown for a fraction of the price. And to compare to other fine dining establishments, we had excellent meals and fantastic service at Maison Francois and Elysan Street the following nights.

Amazing food and fantastic service. The sashimi we had had great variety and very good freshness and flavour. The nigiri was good too, so was the alcohol. The dessert bento was also plenty & the chocolate dessert was very rich, contrasted very well with the fruit. I’m definitely coming back here again!

The food was delicious. In particular, the panfried scallop, the fatty tuna sashimi, and the sushi roll with soft crab. Our waiter was not super clear with his explanations about the food and choices, probably due to a language barrier. We were quite shocked at the long wait for the pork belly starter compared to the other plates we ordered. Also, we were quite shocked to see the 15% "optional" service charge, which is more than the usual (still high) London 12.5% standard.

Really nice japanese food here, staff and service were great

Hidden gem of Knightsbridge! An excellent Japanese restaurant. The food and ambiance was on point! Would definitely revisit again soon.

Good ambience and delicious food. The sushi we ordered are so yummy. Cozy little place. The presentation of food is excellent. Price is on the high side.

Good Japanese food, sashimi were very fresh hot food were well executed. The service was attentive and efficient. Unfortunately a couple of dishes we had ordered were out already. A bit surprising as the restaurant was out of so many items already considered it was still pretty early of the night. It was a mix of sashimi and hot food, one being a grill dish from their daily special menu.

Superb Japanese restaurant located in Knightsbridge. The staff is exceptionally friendly. I'd like to extend a special thank you to Victoria for her outstanding service, invaluable food recommendations, and for organizing my wife's birthday arrangements. The sashimi selection is impressively fresh and diverse, quite possibly the finest I've ever tasted in the UK. The variety of sake available truly transported me to Japan. The overall dining experience at this establishment is exceptional. I will certainly be recommending it to friends and family.

Staff were very helpful & understanding. Didn't get waiter's name but it was last Wednesday afternoon. We have 2 babies, the waiter kept asking if we needed anything and accommodated my friend's food allergies. I asked for plain tofu so my baby would have something other than his food pouch, I even got a second serving cuz my baby loved it so much. Of course food is good, I enjoyed my soba noodles. I'd go back for their excellent service and baby friendliness!!

Not a great sushi, fancy place because of the location, but quality is average. Every piece of sushi ia full of wasabi, so that is the only flavour to expect. Expensive for what it is. The only nice dish was the dessert, but in general I don't recommend this place for sushi.

One of the best Japanese restaurants I went in London. Foods here are cooking in a simple way that you can really taste the freshness. Very friendly service, even offered us mixed fruits after the meal for free. Love it!

The food was great and the service was fantastic as well Highly recommended

Ordered delivery at first and was impressed enough to come in for dinner. Fish was really fresh and service was fast on a Saturday night.

Outstanding. Incredible sushi options I hadn't seen before and each one blew me away. Get the prawn salad with yuzu dressing (pictured), it was as beautiful as it looked!

Food was really nice and service was outstanding. We ordered many different things and all of them were tasty and full of flavours which I loved. The wine was nice which normally is not the case in Japanese restaurants. My only problem is interior. The entrance and toilets are awful, restaurant is tiny and I needed to check twice if that was the place we booked because it is completely different from the pics on Google. I recommend for the food but it could be much nicer.

This place served us some of the best sushi, we have had for many years - and they did it twice, two days apart, with different but very friendly staff for the two evenings. We will definitely visit again when in London!
