Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Waterloo

"Like it’s taller sister Duck & Waffle, the spectacle of the iconic SUSHISAMBA Liverpool Street begins from the panoramic glass lifts, which whisk you up to the 38th and 39th floors of the Heron Tower where the restaurant is located. It boasts one of the highest outdoor dining terraces in Europe, but during the winter months you can admire the views from indoors thanks to the restaurant’s three glass walls. A glamorous New York City import, the menu fuses together Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisines."

"Restaurants Brazilian Liverpool Street. Take the glass elevator clinging to the side of Heron Tower, shoot up 38 floors in a few stomach-flipping seconds, walk through the pulsating bar and find your way to the double-height glasshouse of a restaurant, with its magnificent bamboo-lattice ceiling and wraparound views. Japan, Brazil and Peru come together here, making Sushisamba a sure-fire hit for a showy date night."

"The second venture following the City site, this West End restaurant offers a unique mix of Brazilian, Peruvian and Japanese cuisine. When it's not hosting a swanky celeb-filled party, head to Sushisamba for leafy decor and beautifully plated cooking."

"One of London’s best Japanese restaurants, Dinings SW3 has launched a Dinings at Home delivery and collection offering, serving popular dishes such as grilled black cod, Wagyu beef, and potted Native lobster. Highlights also include the restaurant’s sashimi and sushi dishes. Dinings SW3’s own Sake Blend ‘78’ is also available to accompany."

"Masaki Sugisaki’s West London Japanese restaurant has been doing some particularly interesting twists on delivery this year. Their DIY Tar Tar Chip and Tamaki roll kits are fun and we like the look of their double crab open sushi rolls too. Read our Test Drive."

"Restaurants Japanese Belgravia. This place is not cheap. But if sushi is your desert island dinner, it’s worth it."

"There's something elegant almost Edwardian to its atmosphere, and you wouldn't be surprised to find London A-listers drifting through its doors. It's sleek and welcoming, and its sushi menu is near impossible to rival. Roka's Premium Tasting Menu will get you delicate treasures like yellowtail sashimi with yuzu-truffle dressing, and robust meat courses like smoked duck breast with barley miso and kumquats."

"Nestled in the Fitzrovia area of London, Japanese restaurant, Roka, offers exemplary contemporary robatayaki cuisine. At the restaurant’s centre stands the robata grill, where the freshest fish, poultry, meat and vegetables are combined and crafted into delicious dishes. Enjoy Roka classic, the delectable gindara to gazi no gyoza dish: black cod, crab and crayfish dumplings prepared to perfection."

"This 7-seater is home to an endearing husband-and-wife team of Toru (chef) and Harumi Takahashi (manager). The Kobe-trained chef opened Sushi Tetsu, he wished for no media, hoping to keep the place “hidden” and focusing only on perfecting his supply chain and craft. After an Observer review, it didn’t last."

"Taking on the identities of two of the world's most flavourful cuisines, Mommi is a finely executed hybrid of Japanese and South American cultures making for one sensational culinary offering. Tease your palate with their raw plates, including some incredibly unique sushi dishes."

"Overflowing, Jay Gatsby-style with champagne, sushi and sumptuous Italian dishes: Sumosan Twiga‘s Allegria brunch is an excellent excuse to ditch the home office for the streets of Knightsbridge. Like its sister restaurant in Monte Carlo, this energetic Sloane Street outpost offers a menu of exceptional Japanese food and traditional Italian cuisine with decadent, perfectly-balanced dishes like gyoza miso cod and prawn with chilli yuzu ponzu and al dente tagliatelle bolognese served at (Covid guideline-friendly) spaced tables. The real party begins as blinds are lowered and guests are entertained by a carnivalesque procession of dancers in glittering costumes, while DJs take over the decks to spin modern and classic favourites."

"The brunch offering at upmarket, Japanese-Italian party-restaurant Sumosan Twiga is certainly international. Every Saturday, between 1pm and 6pm, the restaurant’s ‘Allegria’ brunch (that’s ‘joy’ in Italian) sees dancers, international bands and DJs provide a backdrop to a £55-per-person, 10-dish tasting menu that includes tagliatelle bolognese and Japanese-style skewered chicken. Between the same time on Sundays, the ‘Marhaba’ brunch (meaning ‘welcome’ in Swahili) serves a similar Italian-Japanese menu but to a backdrop of African-influenced music."

"Zuma in Knightsbridge offers a sophisticated twist on the traditional Japanese Izakaya style, with many dishes cooked on a robata grill, like sister restaurant Roka. Zuma has been one of the most popular restaurants in London for over a decade and shows no sign of slowing down yet. Try the barley miso marinated baby chicken, oven roasted on cedar wood or the roasted lobster with green chili and garlic hojiso butter."

"The original outfit of Rainer Becker's globally popular restaurant concept, this Knightsbridge sushi bar is still pulling in well-moneyed sushi lovers more than 15 years after it opened. The food here is also izakaya style, but with a considerably more upmarket twist. A dynamite spider maki sees soft shell crab spiked with chilli mayonnaise, while tuna is rolled with homemade chilli miso and yuzu tobiko."

"London’s best sushi restaurants are either impossible to get into or prohibitively expensive. It’s therefore with great relief and thrill that the marvellously mercurial Yuya Kikuchi is back in town. Jugemu is a little more traditional but no less chaotic than his short-lived Kirazu, and the question is: Is there a better value omakase in town?"

"Katsute 100 is no doubt my favourite Japanese cafe in London. Their range of matcha desserts and tea selections are all absolute winners, consistently delivering top-notch quality. In addition, they feature some lovely interior, creating a really great atmosphere to enjoy your matcha goodies."

"Whether looking for a cosy table for two, or celebrating with friends and family, Bill’s Windsor has something for everyone, whatever the time of day. Open all day and into the night, we’re well-known for our legendary breakfasts, veg-centric lunches, and a la carte dinners. Our menu has always had a strong emphasis on vegetarian food and fresh produce which stems from our founder, Bill Collison’s, days as a greengrocer."

"Bills restaurant in Windsor Royal Station is a great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. With seating inside or outside (under cover of the shopping centre) it has juicy steaks, pan fried sea bass and some indulgent pies!. Great for families, meeting friends or for a special date!"

"Bill’s was founded in 2001 by Greengrocer Bill Collinson in Lewes, East Sussex. After a flood Bill added a café to his shop and after great success went on to open a second restaurant in Brighton. Bill’s have since expanded and opened 81 sites across the UK."

"Restaurants Oyster bars South Kensington. After gazing at the fossilised fish and piscine rarities in the Natural History Museum, your kids can sample the real thing at this branch of the Wright Brothers’ seafood chain. Slurping fresh oysters straight from the shell is probably not a good idea for the little ones, although fail-safes such as smoked haddock croquettes or good old fish pie should keep them happy."

"For something a little different, check out Chelsea’s Chicama restaurant. Inspired by the coastal food of Peru, the menu will have you whisked away to a holiday in South America, with the team’s inventive Peruvian, bold-flavoured twist on fine British product. Expect monkfish cheeks with ají amarillo mayo, spicy crab and green papaya salad and some of the best ceviche to be had in the city."

"Peruvian bites and pretty pastel colours make Chelsea haunt Chicama a particularly pleasant brunch spot. Fish is the focus here, but expect more than the standard salmon and scrambled eggs. Breakfast-like dishes on the menu include sweetcorn pancakes with crab, ají amarillo hollandaise and pickled chilli, alongside a brioche bun filled with fish and red cabbage."

"Restaurants Peruvian King’s Road"

"Go hungry - and thirsty - for breakfast at the Hawksmoor, Guildhall (serving breakfast Monday-Friday 7-10am). The menu features 'Anti-fogmatics' which were coined by the Head Bartender at The Savoy in the 1920s as an 'anti-fogmatic, eye opener, bracer, corpse reviver or morning glory' to be drunk 'before 11am, or whenever steam and energy are needed'. Choose a Marmalade Cocktail or a Green Maria (not your average green juice, this has Mezcal and Green Tabasco in) to give your morning a kick."

"What: You know those chocolates that everyone enjoys at Christmas, which come in gold wrapping and have the fancy name?. Yeah, well this Hawksmoor dessert is definitely not inspired by those (especially if any lawyers are reading this). The ‘Ambassador’s Reception’ does feature similar ingredients though, pairing chocolate and hazelnut in a giant choc-tastic serving.Where: 10 Basinghall Street, EC2V 5BQ"

"You know what you’re getting with a Hawksmoor – top quality steak, expertly cooked over the grill. The result is rich, perfectly seasoned meat accompanied by tempting sides like creamed spinach or crisp, beef fat chips."

"St Pancras Old Church isn’t that old nowadays, having largely been rebuilt as recently as the 19th century, but it probably dates back to Saxon times, most likely the 7th century AD, making it one of the oldest churches in London. It’s a fairly small, humble but atmospheric church, around ten minutes’ walk from King’s Cross and St Pancras railway stations. The churchyard and surrounding St Pancras Gardens are also noteworthy – the churchyard contains the tomb of architect Sir John Soane, which was the inspiration for the famous British red telephone box design."

"Year Built: Unknown – possibly as early as 314 CE, but most likely 625 CE Location: Somers Town, Central London Purpose:  Church (Current Denomination – Church of England) Still Standing:  Yes. photo source: Wikimedia Commons via Pauk. While the exact origins of the St. Pancras Old Church are unknown, it is believed to be one of the oldest sites of Christian worship in England."

"Located next to St Pancras Station, and just across from the famous Kings Cross Station is St Pancras Old Church. The site is believed to be one of the oldest sites of Christian worship in England dating back to the 4th century. However, it’s not just the churches age which makes it one of the most famous churches in London."
