Delicious, elegant and set in an intimate setting. Fantastic service too. This tops any other Japanese restaurant in London that I have been to. The ingredients are fresh, and the mix of flavours particularly in the sauces pairs very well with the actual ingredients. The highlight for me was the unagi sushi with truffle & sweet soy, although it was also delicious without the truffle & sweet soy (we had to order more). For the quality of food, the price isn’t too unreasonable. It’s definitely perfect for a special occasion!! Highly recommend trying it out!

A little amazing Japanese restaurant. We sat at the Chef's table and tried the tasting menu with two different brand of Sake. The food was delicious. It was a festive night for us.

Definitely worth spending an evening here, though not sure it quite lives up to the hype. The truffle miso aubergine and the truffle mochi desert were both very special. The tartare tacos were great. The sushi rolls were very good as well.

Great meal here the other night. I loved the sea bass carpaccio, tuna tartare, lamb cutlets, and the popcorn shrimp tempura rolls. Small, intimate and a friendly team. -1 star as someone in our party had an egg allergy… and although the team was accommodating and helpful - the options were extremely limited in contrast to other London Japanese restaurants. Overall, excellent!

Delicious and inventive Japanese food. The truffle miso aubergine was so good, we ordered seconds! Everything we had was fantastic. We were there celebrating with friends and brought a bottle of champagne. Unfortunately the server didn’t seem very experienced in serving champagne and quite a bit was wasted due to bubbling over and spilling. The service was otherwise good and friendly. The desserts were a bit of a let-down. I love truffles as much as the next person but don’t think they need to be in everything!

We came here for our first anniversary dinner with my girlfriend. Every single thing was amazing. Absolute feast of taste! According to other fancy Japanese restaurants price was really ok as well. However, atmosphere was a bit catastrophic. If you like Japanese food you should definitely try this place. You will not regret!

Oh my days! What a superb restaurant, possibly one of the best sushi places in London. Booking essential as you either have the counter upstairs or a small dining room downstairs. The specials on the board are amazing and I couldn’t choose what our favourite dish was as they were all excellent. Service attentive but not intrusive, five stars all round!

Delicious food, expensive and the portions are tiny but absolutely exquisite and worth a splurge. You must call ahead to book as its busy and tiny. I recommend sitting at the chef’s bar to watch the magic happen.

Always come here for sushi when visiting London. Good quality of tuna and daily special sashimi. Love the sesame crème brulee too. Selection of sake is also good. Less choices when it’s not fishing season. Bit pricey (because of the location I guess). Easy to book is a big advantage.

Extremely high quality sushi and Japanese fusion dishes, some less authentic than others. My favorites are the sea bass carpaccio, yellowtail carpaccio, popcorn shrimp roll and toro sashimi. They always have different specials that are worth trying out. Prices are high, but worth the splurge when you’re craving sushi.

If you like Japanese food (and I do but I wouldn't necessarily seek it out) this has an excellent kitchen. But it doesn't quite have the atmosphere of a buzzing London restaurant. A bit clinical, perhaps needs more warmth in the decor. But sashimi was genuinely excellent.

The food was good. Enjoyable. I LOVED the fact that the miso soup was a good HOT temperature. Nothing better than hot soup to get the blood and appetite going. I would give three and a half stars(7/10) if I could on this review, but unsure I would give four. The dishes were interesting in terms of presentation. Flavour and texture-wise it was not wow-elevated compared to other good Japanese restaurants. Service-wise…Staff were accommodating and pleasant, as we were a group of 6 plus a baby. There was a disjointed-ness with the serving of the food though. Sushi coming out without soy sauce/wasabi until the issue was raised some time later…(in a middle/higher end Japanese restaurant??) and I am sure it would not have come otherwise. The mixed seaweed salad came at the end of the meal, when we were nearly finished. It is usually served first. Décor wise… previous reviews have mentioned that it needs an uplift. Modernising is a term I would Use. Air con would also be good in the basement.

Was lucky to catch Dinings on a slow Jubilee lunch - sat at the bar in front of co-owner Fuku San. A real treat! Loved the sushi Omakase & the specials of the day. Had one of the Sake's from their new selection: Junmai 2020 - a keeper!

Amazing japanese food.black sesame creme brulee is just superb. Well done .

best sushi we have ever had in London! we loved the sashimi literally the most fresh fish and best cuts I have seen in the UK

Small and intimate place, sushi was amazing! It is a bit expensive for how small portions are, but aside from that, really good.

I'm here to share my recent experience at Dinings, and, truth be told, it was a bit of a letdown. Even though the food was fantastic, the overall treatment and service were far from satisfactory. So, we had a reservation for 9:15. Things took a nosedive when the last order was called just 30 minutes in, before we even got all our food. Then, to top it off, the bill was handed to us without asking, and we felt like we were on a time crunch, hustled out the door by 10:45. For a substantial payment of £300 for two people, the rushed service was undeniably unacceptable. We had anticipated a significantly higher level of service at this price point. The food might have been a highlight, jet the overall experience fell short of our expectations. I'm sharing this review in the hopes that Dinings takes it as constructive feedback and works on improving the overall dining experience for future guests.

Simply the best. One of the best, one of my favorite meals ever. Delicate, bold, surprising & unexpected flavors & textures, and an ever so lovely staff. Merci, Dinings!

My favorite place in London Every thing is fresh The best Japanese restaurant

Excellent service and delicious food! We showed up without a reservation, and they were full for the night (highly recommended making one!). We got lucky that someone cancelled as we were walking out… the hostess came running out to get let us know — we were SO happy to find a table. Incredible food all around!
