Food was amazing, portions were a little bit smaller than necessary and the extortionate price wasn't worth it. That being said, everything I ate I would order again in a heart beat. Best lamb chop I have ever had.

The food was good, and helpful staff. Afternoon tea is a nice idea but the portions were quite small and we could easily have eaten more.

We went on a Monday as were staying in the area and fancied Japanese. Had a booking however there were plenty of tables. Very good service - attentive but not over the top. Amongst others we had edamame w chilli and the seaweed salad, sea bass. Really enjoyed each course and service.

Very disappointing experience. We were sat at our table and it was 15 mins before anyone spoke with us and took our order and then another hour before the food arrived. It was at about 45 mins before the staff gave us an update on our food. Once it had arrived it was bland and uninspiring which is not the reaction you want given the prices on the menu. My wife is gluten-free and instead of consulting us on how this would effect the order we were only told that our Spicy Tuna would be without the "Spice" once it was put on our table an hour after ordering and so we paid over the odds for some dull tuna sushi. Their excuse for the disappointing experience was that there was a party of 15 + people but surely isn't this why you book ahead, to avoid this happening? The only positive I will say is that the staff were friendly but not attentive. I will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone, I have had better experiences and sushi from Yo! Sushi, You Me Sushi and even Tesco sushi I would say has an edge on this place. Really disappointing.

Good food - not quite at the same level as, say, Sumosan, but then it's much more reasonably priced. Pleasant enough but far from beautiful room (not that Nobu Park Lane's anything to write home about) in an odd location (Victoria). Very friendly staff from front desk through to waiting staff - which is more than can be said for the majority of modern Japanese / fusion restaurants. All-in-all a good experience, but wish they'd relocate somewhere more conducive!

Monday night last minute booking for 2 - arrived early - immediately seated in bar on ground floor - pleasant but no atmosphere for dinner. Cocktails ok - food lovely - for prices being paid / small bar area - staff could have been more attentive - initially provided with one food menu, whiskey menus and wine list between 2 - had to wait to order drinks. I would go back again for the food - but not of the atmosphere.

Absolutely superb. It's impossible to explain how Sashimi and Sushi can really taste so much better than other places, but it does. As for the Dragon Rolls and Rainbow Rolls, the best in London. The service is polished and professional, the menu extensive without being so long as to get complicated or confusing. To be fair, it's pretty expensive. But what decent Restaurant in Belgravia isn't and this really is top notch. Significantly better food and service (and MUCH roomier and more pleasant surroundings) than it's nearby competitors.

Loved sitting at the Sushi Bar and watching the food get made! A lovely suprise birthday dessert. Although felt pressured by the waiting staff to order, finish, leave etc... Wanted to take our time and relax!

Amazing food - subtle flavours, excellent quality fish and presented well. The portions are relatively small, but that is to be expected from a Japanese restaurant. The mains are also excellent - the sea bass and lamb chops stood out.

We visited Kouzu for an early dinner and ordered the theatre menu. The restaurant is nicely decored, our waitress was helpful and friendly, and we enjoyed each of the dishes we were served. It was quite quiet which is a shame because it seems like a decent restaurant. Decent Japanese food never seems to be cheap, and to be fair to Kouzu they offer better value than some better known restaurants in London.

Even if it is located in Japan, their quality would be really competitive with most of nice authentic Japanese restaurant. Sushi was great. I wish that they are hidden jewel and am concerned whether they become too popular!

I don't think sushi here is the best. I tried lunch course. The rice in sushi is quite firm. The waiting time is about 30 mins to get one sushi dish.

We had a very good dinner, with exquisite sashimis (assortment of 12 different types), delicious black cod and good wine. The staff was very nice and helpful. Good value for money (however not cheap: 200 pounds for 2 adults and one kid).

Very welcoming, helpful staff. Beautiful decor, food was delicious!!! We went for my daughter's 16th birthday, they wrote happy birthday and added a lit candle on her dessert. Little details that made her celebration special. Good central location too! I highly recommend it.

I admit that I'm a sushi snob. When I go to a highly rated Japanese Sushi restaurant, I expect the sushi chefs to be japanese and the staff to be mostly japanese who can speak and explain the dishes well. The food was good for what it was, but not authentic enough for me. The service was ok.

This is our second visit to the restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is on the whole really good, although I would say at this sort of price point you'd sort of expect an impeccable experience, and this is where Kouzu falls just slightly short. The only slight criticism I would point out is that we did feel slightly rushed in terms of the speed of the dishes being served.

The beef fillet was perfectly medium rare and melted in my mouth. The lamb was excellent (including the sides of green beans and tempura sweet potatoe) than imp tempura roll was also good. Wines were ok and servers were wonderful.

Excellent restaurant. Underpriced. Get way more than I paid. It's better than quite many michelline restaurants in London. I ordered sushi and tenpura. Both of them are highly above standard. Expedia;lay the tenpura, the not greesy at all and good proportion of frying paste

This is a great business lunch experience. Service was very professional and the restaurant atmosphere is great. Very finely prepared sushi and negiri. Nice platters to share. Tempura was light and the spicy touch added to the prawn tempura and the spicy tuna was excellent. I was not really impressed that the kitchen rushed us a little because they were closing at 3pm or near there but other than that it was really great Japanese.

Rather limited choices on the menu. I personally think the sake is over priced. The restaurant was near empty when we arrived, as it was still early, but we were placed at a table right next to the stair. The restaurant was not near half full for the full duration of our dinning there, Don't understand how they can set orders in that way.
