Chisou Japanese Restaurant Knightsbridge

"One of our favourite things to do in Knightsbridge is visit this little Japanese spot on Beauchamp Place. The inside-out rolls at this quiet, straightforward spot are all excellent, as are the Chisou rolls. If you’re struggling to choose, just know that the soft shell crab and hot sake maki should 100% be on your table. As can be expected from the location, it’s not cheap but come in a small group, order a bunch of sushi rolls, some noodles, and the zesty horenso salad, and you can leave around £40 lighter." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing

"Chisou is a great date night spot because it gives you options. You can impress someone with excellent sushi rolls without breaking the bank, or splash out on top-quality nigiri and work your way through the 16-page sake menu. How you play it is up to you. Just know that the quality fish, relaxed dining room, and serious sake menu make this Knightsbridge spot one of the best Japanese restaurants around. " - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley

"Our favourite thing about Chisou isn’t the tasty inside-out rolls, the chef’s selection sashimi deals, or the excellent rock shrimp and baby spinach salad. It’s the fact that this Knightsbridge restaurant can be used for a lot of different things. Whether you’re looking for a meal that’s low-key but still special, or one where you hope the 16-page sake list will tell your friends that you really do want to make a big deal out of the day, so you don’t have to. Simple interiors, a Japanese menu that isn’t too flashy, and a meal that’s worth the awkward happy birthday singing moment. " - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak, Sinead Cranna

"Chisou’s baby spinach salad is basically an optical illusion. It might look like a decorative plate of leaves for the world’s boujiest rabbit but look closer, do you see it? In the middle of the baby spinach is a majestic little pile of spicy prawns and yuzu dressing that, once mixed in, creates one of our all-time favourite salads in London. If this charming Japanese restaurant’s signature horenso salad doesn’t sound like your cup of delicious yuzu spinach metaphorical tea, then know that the Knightsbridge spot also does a fried crunchy squid salad and a simple avocado sashimi situation too." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Daisy Meager, Sinead Cranna, Jake Oliver

"Horenso salad “I’m not a huge salad person. I went through a phase of ordering Tossed salads for lunch, but it was short-lived and quite quickly swapped for literally anything else. But the Horenso salad I was recommended by the waiter at the Knightsbridge branch of this Japanese spot has converted me into a salad orderer. This baby spinach salad with spicy prawns is tangy, spicy, refreshing, and has turned me into a lover of yuzu dressing and perfectly plated leaves.” - RS" - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
