Service was a bit slow, food was good. Black cod was better than the wagyu beef. Califlower side dish was a lot for one person, better to share one

The meat was dissapointing. Everything else was fine. Id rather pay £30 for the steak dish if it was better quality and slighlty bigger. M

Dinning environment and mock tails are nice, but two starters we ordered are too oily. Wagyu is fine, black cod is excellent. Overall they are too expensive for its quality.

a hidden gem at the heart of soho. part of the main steak restaurant, the 'theme' of the season: black cod and wagyu was high in quality. made to near perfection, i only wished they were bigger portion. will hope to visit there again before they change the menu

Excellent dinner, from the starters (lobster croquette and tuna tartar) to the main courses everything was delicious. Hopefully they’re gonna open a permanent restaurant, it’ll become one of my favourite place in London.

Great food, especially the generous portion of truffle on the truffle fries. Good service as well. It's a shame it's closing in 2 weeks - I want to go again!

I normally don’t leave reviews but do read and find them useful. Well, we went there for dinner and I was really excited about it. The black cod was delicious as the starters were but the wagyu, that could never ever be a wagyu I’m afraid. I‘ve had wagyu before even in Japan but the meat we had last Friday was not even closer to a rib eye. I’m still wondering how they “think” that can be called wagyu, sorry! Maybe for who has never ever tasted wagyu, they’d have left thinking the meat was good. Just call it Black Cod & Steak and no one would be disappointed;)

Waste of money. Poor cut of meat, badly prepared food. Better off paying more money and go somewhere nice. Zelman has really gone down hill.

Portions were on the smaller side and wagyu was very fatty. Recommend the black cod. Staff were attentive though, but better places to get steak.

This intimate restaurant is located in Zelman Meats. Best black cod I’ve tasted outside of Japan! The service was excellent; could not be faulted and portion sizes were more than adequate. We ordered the wagyu tartare, tiger prawns & tuna tartare to start. Followed by the black cod x2 & wagyu steak with a side of triple cooked truffle chips and charred hispi cabbage. All delicious. The black cod definitely usurped the wagyu steak. Also the wagyu tartare to start was a little on the vinigary side and the portion was smaller than expected. Overall, would definitely recommend! Go before they increase their prices!

Black cod extremely good. Wagyu pretty poor. The sides and starters were mostly excellent except the fried rice which lacked flavour. Mixed feelings and probably won't return.

Delicious meal, chose the wagyu and the cod and both were tasty. Delicious cocktails and side orders to go with the meal, staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant is quite small to be sure to book in advance.

Sure, come for the black cod and/or wagyu but make sure you don't miss the lobster croquettes which are amazing! I'd go back for those alone!

The service was very good and the venue had a lovely ambience. However, I didn't feel it was that great value. The amount of beef and the size of the piece of cod were small. I buy Wagyu beef from the Japan Centre regularly to cook at home, and I wasn't entirely sure this was actually Wagyu beef but perhaps its a different cut? The cod was soggy rather than having a crispy outside/skin - I did not feel that the cod was worth £20 in a venue like that. With sides at £8 each, and you need two sides each unless you're anorexic, its not good value in my humble opinion. Also there are only 2 dessert choices we opted for the chocolate which wasn't very chocolately.

Absolutely fabulous. The lunch offer allows you for 15£ to get either 200g of wagyu beef or black miso cod cooked "a la Nobu". I thought the cauliflower carpaccio was amazing also but wasn't that wowed by the lobster rice. Personally I preferred the Cod to the Wagyu. Please also note when booking for Zelman's in Saint Anne's Court, you need to specify which part of the restaurant you want to go to.

The atmosphere was good, and service friendly. We had a nice table in a booth. However the food was only mediocre. Ordered the platter with a wagyu steak and black cod. The piece of cod was generous and good but the steak was poor - very small with a thick piece of tough fat along one side. Very little of the marbling expected in good wagyu beef. Sides of a papaya salad and truffle chips were also mediocre - the salad had very little papaya in it and the chips seemed to have some oily minced truffle/mushroom (not shavings of fresh truffle).

Good quality but the taste and flavours is not something to wow about. Service was ok...team members are happy and engaging but more interested in having fun than ensuring a good service

The staff there are really nice! A little difficult to find because there is no obvious sign outside the restaurant and using the old restaurant ZELMAN MEATS’ sign.

Overall experience was great - incredibly friendly and helpful staff, the food was delicious and very well priced. I would recommend the lobster Croquettes as a starter and the house plate - wagyu and black cod was lovely alongside the truffle chips. Definitely would recommend and would go back!

Really enjoyed this place. We had the burrata and prawns to start, the cod and wagyu with cabbage and lobster rice sides and shared a chocolate tart after. Everything we ordered was delicious - especially impressed with the black cod and the cabbage side (fermented with garlic and chilli). We had a great bottle of Rioja too, and the total came to a reasonable £125. The service was excellent and atmosphere was good - definitley recommend!

You could argue that this is not 'true' Japanese wagyu but rather a wagyu breed from Australia. But then it wont be £20 for a 200g steak. still an extremely tasty cut, well marbled and very juicy, cooked with a crusty exterior so just the right combo. the lobster rice and croquette were also very tasty.

Really delicious food. Great value for Waygu and Black Cod that would otherwise be 2-3x as expensive at Roka. 4 of us ordered two house platters and a selection of sides. Including drinks and desert it came to £50pp and we left feeling full.

Restaurant has great potential. Black cod was superb. Wagyu is below average even for its bargain price and rested way too long - new supplier required. Decent drinks list. Good friendly service. Will come again for black cod only.
