Awesome dining experience overall. Food was excellent, cocktails were great and service did a good job, too. Combined with very central location in Mayfair, Niju leaves very little to be desired.
Niju has quickly became one of my favourite Japanese restaurants in London. Came here first time for my anniversary and again for my 30th birthday and both times we’ve had a great experience with both the food and service. All of their sushi and sashimi were as fresh as you can get in London but one that stood out the most was their scallop, was probably top 3 scallop I’ve had in London ever. Another amazing dish for me was their Gohan, whether it’s the mushroom or the lobster both were bursting of umami, to top it off the portion size were also superb (which a lot of these fancy restaurants don’t offer ) Also love their service and decor, came to my surprise the person who served us first time also served us second time and even remembered us which shows amazing hospitality. All in all I would 100% recommend this restaurant for all occasions!
Gabby is amazing! She was very friendly and offered us a cake for our anniversary! We really enjoyed the service by her because she really made our day!!!!! The food is also very very amazing. We will definitely come back!
Authentic Japanese dishes in London! We went there on a Sunday so we got their Sunday set which had starters, appetiser, mains, drinks, and desserts. And since I am pregnant, they are so kind to grant our requests on raw dishes so they gave me vegetable tempura as my appetiser. We loved everything. The service and atmosphere were exquisite. They also gave us free cake as it was our wedding anniversary that day.
Beautiful and exquisite. Creative and traditional with respect. Clear explanation of the ingredients by the Chef at the sushi counter. Food and art at the same time. That's the kind of restaurant that I would love to try literally EVERYTHING on their menu. Servers were all friendly and helpful, especially when giving recommendations on dessert. Loved the whole experience from the greetings at the reception to feeling happy with happy stomach in the end. 5 stars no doubt.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at NIJU, and I can confidently say it was one of the most delightful dining experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the service was nothing short of exceptional. Paola and Martin, in particular, went above and beyond to make us feel special—it truly felt like a princess treatment! The food was a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Every dish was beautifully presented and made with the freshest ingredients. Our absolute favorites were the yellowtail and tuna, which we enjoyed as both nigiri and sashimi—simply outstanding! For starters, we tried the Grilled Orkney scallop and the Akami, toro & negitoro futomaki. Both dishes were packed with flavor and expertly prepared. As a thoughtful touch, the team surprised me with a belated birthday dessert, adding an extra layer of joy to the evening. It’s small gestures like these that make a dining experience truly memorable. The wine selection was equally impressive, perfectly complementing the exquisite dishes. Whether you’re looking for a romantic date spot, a place for a meeting, or somewhere to celebrate a special occasion, NIJU is the perfect choice. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. Everything—from the atmosphere to the incredible staff and the divine food—was flawless. I’ll definitely be returning soon!
Fantastic food. Very impressed. Some of the best tuna and steak I’ve had: pretty incredible, actually... and everything else was excellent too. It doesn’t have that ‘ambience’ or fawning five-star service, but I don't think this is what it’s trying to be. It feels more like a traditional Japanese sushi restaurant: functional, comfortable, pleasant, and relaxed, with a great view of the chefs at work. Highly recommended. I think we’ll be back time and time again.
