Great food. The raw sashimi were very fresh. Service was excellent. Quantities were rather big, especially for a Japanese restaurant. Probably one of my favourite jap in L town.
This was a great find! The food was simply incredible and the wine was very good to for house wine! The service could be slightly better as there was hardly any talking by them but that didn't spoil our dining experience. I'd recommend the beef teriyaki!
Excellent food, and service as always. The sushi is so fresh and delicious, not cheap but worth every penny. Great location to pop into when you are in the Oxford Circus area - best to book if there are more than 4 of you.
I used to come to this restaurant when i lived in London about 10 years ago I really enjoyed the restaurant and good thing was that this was open on Sunday as well. True Japanese Flavor was little less this time, probably restaurant is more focusing on Western customer but the quality of the food was outstanding But to be honest We needed something more special Overall very good Japanese restaurant for both Westerners and Japanese
We went for a seaweed salad, tuna tartare, sushi and some noodles.The Tartare and the Sushi were delicious and the service was really good. Highly recommended.
I ordered several kinds of Sushi, but some of them came with more pieces and some of them came with less pieces. That hall staff could not receive our order correctly.
I have been a regular customer since Chisou first opened, so it is one of my favorite restaurants and I usually have sashimi. However today, I thought that the tuna sashimi on the lunchtime menu was not up to the usual standard and this was most unfortunate.
Excellent food. Very nice staff. No rushing if you want to linger which we did! One of our party had never eaten Japenese food and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Food quality very good.Level of service very bad.No knowledge of Japanese food or Sake.Had to repeatedly request a particular type of Sake.Unacceptable service for the price of food and drink.I would definitely NOT recommend this restaurant to others.I have eaten in this restaurant at lunchtime when the service was much better.Please train your staff.
Lovely and helpful staff,very tasty japanese food - better quality than many other restaurants I have been to in London. I loved the salted grilled mackerel! Very good choice of sake served in the traditional way. Not cheap but reasonable.
We enjoyed every dish and the sake choice too. Excellent service, very friendly and helpful staff. Extra words to get to the very high twenty five word minimum limit..
Very good food the prices go along with the place towards the expensive side but in general very good. Negative thing was that service was a little bit slow.
Great service, very “real” and friendly. The sushi was good, it has the potential to be great. Atmosphere was good. Decor was fine, could be better.
The food was appealing to the eyes, smell was inviting and the taste was nothing short of authentic Japanese! Service was friendly and helpful, and didn’t have to wait long from ordering to receiving my meal! Charles
relaxed helpful service and excellent food. I would recommend this Japanese restaurant it was busy and buzzing. but you must be prepared to book upfront
Very friendly staff and tasty sushi, sashimi, small plates rec. My main criticism is the portion size and meat content in the grilled main dishes. Ridiculous.
Restaurant was great. Service was good. The apps were good. The fish was superb. It tasted fresh, and well prepared by the chef. Sake we ordered was excellent. Next time I'm in London, I will definitely be returning.
Visited for the first time tiday. Kudos for the amazimg food, service and sake recommendation! Will be back in a couple of weeks with my brother!
I can think of nowhere better for a quick lunch with wonderfully prepared food in a simple surrounding - just off one of the busiest places on the planet! Japanese comfort food done so well. thank you
The fish quality is really superb. The staff is also very friendly, but could be better trained to be consistent in Japanese manners. It used to be more Japanese.
Just all around awful experience. The entire food were bland menu was boring and couldn't believe the taste of the sashimi menu which was just awful
The food was excellent, one of the best Japanese restaurants in London. Food was really fresh, well prepared and cooked, beautifully presented. But have coffee elsewhere!
The service was typically Japanese (subtly attentive) but as you would hope in any restaurant, the food was the star of the show. It was absolutely exceptional. Love the small plate (izakaya) style meal as you get to try lots of different things. Everything was great, but I have to mention the seared fatty tuna sashimi and the Gyu Tataki which I would never tire of eating. Price wise, all Japanese restaurants are relatively expensive and Chisou is no exception, but it is not excessively expensive. That said, the food is so good you don’t begrudge paying a little bit more.
The food is consistently good. It's our go to restaurant in London for good traditional Japanese food. Oishi desu! The service can be a little hit and miss sometimes but nothing that puts us off going back.
Dishes were great but serving was not perfect. For exemple, Tempura was served prior to sashimi, a little bit old wet towel etc. But overall great considering its location, price.
Authentic Japanese food, highly recommend the set menu that includes miso soup, salad, choice of main and sliced orange for dessert. Staff are attentive and friendly.
Great and very friendly staff! Very fresh fish and generally really good food! Would definitely go back and would recommend to others - looking forward to try out their other restaurants
Very fresh fish. Very good service. The place is quiet so ideal for a catch up with an old friend!! Good choice of sushi and wine
The service was exceptional, from waitress recommendations to the quality of the food. I especially enjoyed the ability to share such a wide range of dishes, such as the chef's sashimi selection. Will definitely be returning.
The sushi was fresh, beautifully presented and all round a great experience, would go back every time in London. Maybe felt a little rushed to end, but it was late
This is my favourite Japanese restaurant! The miso black cod lunch set is very reasonable price but most importantly delicious! Perfect place to go before or after shopping at Oxford Circus!
It is rare for me to over ratings - But we had a great experience fantastic staff great food - Great all round, should be a 9
The team are so welcoming and polite, but better than that you get a real feeling of traditional Japanese hospitality. The food is exceptionally good too, the fish/rice balance on the sushi is perfect. Our waitress - Su - was just delightful. One of my favourite restaurants in London, all the quality without the unnecessary razzle dazzle if you get my drift!!
The restaurant's atmosphere was very Japanese, as seen by the mainly Japanese customers who spoke Japanese to the waiters. But even though we weren't their regular/main customers, the service towards us was really good. The food was pricey for the quality - the salmon wasn't the tastiest, and the chicken cutlet was only good for the price of £16.50. We chose from the pre-theatre menu, so the meals came with starters (soup and salad), a bowl of rice and orange for dessert. If you're willing to spend a bit more (i.e. >£20) then there is much more variety.
We had a wonderful time, great fresh food and excellent service. Whenever we are for the next time in London, we will gladly visit Chisou again.
Chose the selections of sashimi/sushi plus tempura and a starter of edamame peas. All very fresh/good food with attentive but not over-intrusive service. I have been to Chisou a few times before and would not hesitate to do so again.
Wonderful dishes and price was reasonable. Staffs were very friendly. It was my friend's BDay and upon ordering dessert we're given free-complementary cake. I will visit again soon #
The food is just magnifique ! And the waiter and waitress so professional and friendly Thank you very much for this beautiful diner. Really appreciate
Incredibly authentic and High quality Japanese food. Excellent t Service. Perfect experience with my girlfriend. I can recommend Chisou with the utmost satisfaction. Looking forward to going again.
Excellent food and fast service, perfect for a quick business lunch. Miso soup and in side out rolls were great with edamame on the side.
