The food was quite good, however it took a bit of time to come out. I would attribute this to the fact that it’s a busy place. The waitress was incredibly nice and her customer service was impeccable on the other hand. Always taking into consideration us as customers when some things were taking longer to be served. She certainly made up for it

We had the set menu for Valentines Day which was extremely disappointing. Firstly the menu wasn’t clear that you had to pick only ONE main course and this wasn’t told to us either. So the main course was a steak and 1 tomato with no sides or choice of sides whatsoever. Also it was very slow service, we were in there a total of 3 hours which all consisted of us waiting for our food to come out. They forgot about one of our starters so we had to remind them to 3 waiters and so that came out after our “main”. Also the portions were extremely small and didn’t fill us up at all. All in all very disappointing and we won’t be returning.

Expensive restaurant but food and atmosphere are good with great service. Three if us dined and had a really pleasant evening. The wagu steak at £140 for nine little cubes is something for folk who have too much money. The less expensive cuts are just as nice. I enjoyed the chicken main and the excellent vegetable sides.

We had the £125 tasting menu but felt it fell short on quantity and quality for the price. The dishes were good but I didn’t think worth it . I have had many tasting menus and this one didn’t stack up. May be part of the reason it was nearly empty

Seaweed was strangely hard and chewy. Tuna was melt in the mouth. Gorgeous decor

Ginza St. James delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The tasting menu was a journey of beautifully crafted dishes, each one showcasing top-tier ingredients and expert execution. The tuna tataki and lobster tempura stood out with their perfect balance of flavor and texture, while the Kagoshima Gyu Sirloin was an absolute highlight—rich, tender, and full of depth. To finish, the desserts were outstanding—the miso Basque cheesecake was a personal favorite, while the matcha crème brûlée won over my wife. Overall, a fantastic experience well worth revisiting.
