Shogun

I booked this restaurant based on the recommendations seen here. And I must say, the recommendations are not wrong! This restaurant is outstanding. The food was perfect and the service excellent. Both my friend and I have said we will visit again.

There was no dessert menu. After nice drinks and wonderful food, the staff brought our table a lovely plate of fresh, seasonal fruit as part of the service they provide. Tea after the meal was also included. Even though the restaurant was busy, we never felt crowded or rushed. Absolutely wonderful.

Absolutely, fantastically, brilliant restaurant!!! The food, the service, the atmosphere were all exceptional. I have been there twice already and eagerly anticipate the next time I can go. The sushi is exquisite and I would urge all who get the opportunity to visit this enclave to try the gyu tataki, which is seared beef finely sliced with an amazing soy based sauce. All this does come at quite a handsome price though, but I do think it is well worth it. I think for a little once in a while indulgence in London, all sushi fans should definitely visit Shogun.

Shogun is by far the best japanese restaurant i've ever been to and cannot resist going back to. the staff is very friendly - it feels like going home for a meal rather than a restaurant. the food is excellent, sushi is fresh and just ineffable. This is a very special place indeed, and I assure anyone who's thinking of going that you won't regret to dine there.

Quite simply Shogun is one of the best restaurants that I have ever eaten in. The food was an absolute delight, and the perfect introduction to Japanese cuisine for a first time diner. Added to this, service was second to none. The staff, from the wonderful, traditionally attired waitresses to the fantastic hostess were so friendly that my meal felt more like being welcomed into the home of a Japanese family than eating in an impersonal restaurant. I would highly recommend a trip to Shogun for anybody who would like to try a fabulous dining experience.

I am a Tokyo girl based in London and

Shogun is the most authentic and traditional restaurant in London.

Step inside of the restaurant, Japanese warrior armor from 15th century welcomes you.　It's a typical decor for a traditional Japanese restaurant outside of Japan but anyway, the food was fantastic.

The main chef is a true-blue downtown Tokyoite who is based in London for 30 years and keeping the tradition for decades.

I’ve tried most of the Sushi and was so fresh that felt like I'm back in Japan. It’s true that it's very traditional and one of the most expensive Japanese restaurant in London.But if you want to taste the Japanese cuisine cooked by a real Japanese chef (and you are with your man) perhaps this is an ideal place. Shogun’s Butano Kakuni (sweet grilled pork) is the best in town!!!

I finally went to Shogun last Friday! I am very lucky to have an opportunity to go there, because the restaurant was just perfect. The food was very authentic Japanese, not only Sushi and Sashimi but also Tempura, Yakitori and Sake!! The staff is very friendly and provides high standard service. The interior decoration is very special! A mysterious Japanese Armor gives us a warm welcome and exotic arrows separate each tables!!

I just want everyone to know the restaurant! This is a Must-see restaurant!!!
