Very fresh sushi and Japanese food. Nice to go for special occasions as it is ££££. However service was very very slow, even at 9pm Saturday night, difficult to catch waiter attention. They seem more attentive to their regular customers...

(Translated by Google) Discover this Japanese-style bar in central London! The creative cocktails are really very interesting and for £12 the cocktails are not negligible. The decor of the bar is incredible, the sakura blossom ceiling is breathtaking. (Original) Découverte de ce bar à connotation japonaise dans le centre de Londres !

Food is absolutely incredible!! We got the Premium Tasting Menu and it did not disappoint. Such a fan of ROKA and the vibes at the Shochu Lounge are great. Music is loud, but what can you expect from a bar/lounge. Cocktails were delicious too. Only reason for 4*’s is that the service was a bit lacklustre.
