Amazing dining experience at UMU, a high-end restaurant near Bond Street! The sashimi was incredibly fresh, the tempura - light and crispy, and the lobster dish was outstanding. Beautiful presentation, great cocktails, and excellent service. Perfect spot for a special night out – highly recommend!

UMU is an absolute hidden gem in Central London for anyone who appreciates authentic and elevated Japanese cuisine. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere feels refined yet warm, with attentive staff making the dining experience seamless. The dishes are beautifully presented and crafted with precision. The sashimi platter was incredibly fresh, with each cut of fish melting in the mouth. The tempura selection was perfectly crisp and light, showing off the chef’s skill in balance and texture. The lobster dish was another standout—rich, flavorful, and plated like a piece of art. I also appreciated the smaller touches— such as sake and cocktail pairings, which were refreshing and complemented the meal wonderfully. Overall, UMU is not just dinner, but an experience. It’s the perfect place for a special occasion or for anyone wanting to indulge in fine Japanese dining in London. I would highly recommend it and look forward to returning.
