At NIJŪ you will discover the heartwarming flavours of Katei Ryori- traditional Japanese home-cooking made to share.

Crafted by renowned chefs Chris Golding and David Bury, and overseen by the expertise of Endo Kazutoshi, a third-generation sushi chef of the Michelin star Endo at the Rotunda, the menu is a celebration of unique flavours and impeccable execution. With an emphasis on ingredient-led cuisine, we combine fresh, seasonal ingredients with culinary experimentation to create nourishing dishes that pay tribute to the art of home-cooking.

The venue itself boasts new and innovative dining spaces, designed to cater to various preferences and group sizes. We have also dedicated a section specifically for our sushi bar, where guests have a front-row seat to the artistry of our sushi chefs.

It’s good food but they should put a warning here that Sunday menu is only available for a minimum of 2 rather than allowing 1 person reservations to book for the menu and then tell me it’s not available at the restaurant. It’s misleading.

Mice in the restaurant! Close down and sort out before anyone else has the same horrible experience! The staff and food were excellent though but just ruined entire experience with what we saw…

Vibey joint for the Mayfair cost-insensitive. Would you like caviar with that? Good experience all-round, though the menu is rather odd (or perhaps just unusual?). Particularly good service. Even turned the deafening music down when asked!
