Umu - Piatti

Decidedly average Japanese restaurant. We went for its Michelin star. But whilst the fish was undoubtedly fresh, it was very bland. Even the chef creation sushi lacked interest

What a beautiful experience in London akin to being in Tokyo. Great food incredible ingredients that are treated perfectly. I cannot think of one dud dish across the board spectacular from the fish to the melt in the mouth beef. Can’t wait to return.

Me and my husband went there for dinner… the manager pushed us to order more food because he said was not enough, we spent 500£ For just two people and right after the dinner we felt sick from something that was not good. Definitely not recommended!!!! Visualizza piatti

If you enjoy a truly authentic sushi experience with high-quality fish, this place is perfect for you. I had some of the best eel, hamachi belly, and otoro outside of Japan. The tempura was light and delicious as well. This restaurant definitely deserves its star rating.

The food at this restaurant is absolutely amazing and the atmosphere is lovely. It is very comfortable as well. It is not cheap, and you may need to order a lot to feel full, but it is definitely worth it. The staff is also very helpful if you are unsure about the different types of sushi.

Most people who don't give this restaurant 5 stars is because of the price. Why should the price matter though when you are literally getting the best of the best? Umu uses techniques and ingredients which are as good as the best restaurants in Tokyo and it is a real foodie's paradise. Highly recommended for those who appreciate only the best.

The food here was a exquisite. All dishes were worth it. My favourite was of course the Wagyu and the dessert. An impressive dish was also the Tuna…they had 3 different parts of the tuna, which was interesting to taste the different textures. I would say the toilets need a bit of work though…especially as this is a michellin star restaurant. But other than that the service was top tier and the entrance to the restaurant was like no other, truly inventive.

We visited this restaurant for our 23rd wedding anniversary, as it is one of our favorite special dining spots in London. We had a late booking for lunch at 1.30, but unfortunately, we arrived ten minutes late and missed out on the Kaiseki option, which is only available until 1.15. We tried to convince the Maitre d' to make an exception, but with no success. C'est la vie! The food was exceptional, as always, especially the toro. The service was good, but a bit more relaxed for a Michelin-starred restaurant. The prices are on the higher side, but it is worth it for a special occasion. Overall, a great restaurant but quite expensive for those looking to fully enjoy the experience.

I enjoyed Umu. My experience of Sushi to date has been primarily high street chains so I was keen to see and taste what difference a top notch Sushi restaurant could make. I wasn’t disappointed. The food is of the highest quality and immaculately presented. The restaurant itself is quiet and quite intimate and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Two reasons for not giving it 5 stars though. One was the building work going on next door which made it impossible to hear each other. To their credit they did go and have a word and it stopped after 10 minutes. The bigger issue though was the price. We did have the taster menu and the wine flight but the total bill was £2200 for 4 of us. Good... Visualizza piatti
