Chisou Knightsbridge - London

BUYER BEWARE !My wife and I visited here 5 times in last 12 years or so. This was a disappointing experience. I mentioned about chopsticks, and the waiting Japanese woman got cross and asserted they were the only ones i would get. they were throwaway cheap chopsticks, okay there were not plastic chinese style but even so this is a very expensive restaurant and the rice was tasteless all she said was oh the sushi rice is in the 'hidden menu ' LOL, a bit childish) , food all arrived at once, CHAOS. We know it has struggled with differing management, and so it shows. Dear diner, you ought to be aware of all of this. Izakaya in Japan is meant to be more fun, lower prices this is really pricey place. I know the location etc., but still. The other two waiters worked hard. NIhonshu was 8/10 a nice tasting sake for sort of okay price. It wasnt all dreadful: at least they looked after my wifes ' complicated allergies, that was correct. Fine. BUT, Fellow diners , avoid this place and do your research, It is too expensive for what it is. We will try Korean next time. And we will never return here. Maybe Saturday is not the best day here. May be. But dont make that your problem, paying diner) haha !

This was such a nice experience , coming with whole family.... Waitress is so nice and kind and service is superbe menu is really japanese traditional I clearly recommend

Very average. The restaurant itself is a bit dark. The omakase is only sashimi and only for 2 people (I have never encountered this before and makes me think the omakase is not freshly prepared) and the selections of nigiri/maki not very interesting. I had a much better experience at the Chisou in Mayfair

I ordered the set lunch with miso soup, pickles and a mixed salad, followed by five nigiri, six maki and assorted tempura (ebi, salmon, vegetable). The service was friendly, swift and efficient; exactly what you expect in a Japanese restaurant. The bill came to 33 pounds.

Serves also a good kimchi (Korean). Nice fresh products, good selection of sakes... Service is attentive.
