Authentic sushi, tableside wasabi, intimate bar, outdoor terrace
"The second Danieru location to open in Chelsea, this spot is equally as adorable and significantly more spacious than the original, Plus its two-person booths—just close enough that knees brush—scream date night. There's also an inviting terrace at this Japanese spot, and getting a few rounds of sushi here is a no-brainer when the weather's nice." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"There’s something about a quiet, neighbourhood spot, that you can only get to via narrow back roads, that feels special—and innately London. At Danieru, it’s also impossible for more than eight people to eat inside at one time, but as soon as the sun’s out, you can eat the incredible sushi on the delightful terrace instead. The tableside-grated wasabi is the best we’ve ever tasted, every interaction with the staff is a wholesome one, and people-watching in this pocket of Chelsea is exclusively pups and locals walking them." - daisy meager, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, sinead cranna, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, heidi lauth beasley
"Danieru, by Chelsea Common, is small but serious. You’ll find touches here that you don’t get everywhere else—like grating wasabi tableside to order—and you feel taken care of at all times. We’re big fans of the excellent six-piece salmon and tuna nigiri set, and the crispy tempura-filled, salmon-topped rolls. The generously filled spicy chutoro roll is also a must, and know you’ll need another round of buttery hotate nigiri. There’s another, equally as good, location on Lower Sloane Street." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing
"This Japanese restaurant on Sloane Street has an inviting terrace that you’ll probably wander up to out of pure curiosity. And once you do, the friendly servers and plates of nigiri being paraded around will reel you in. The second Danieru to open in Chelsea, this spot is equally as adorable and significantly more spacious than the original, plus its two-person booths scream date night. When the weather’s nice, getting a few rounds of sushi on the terrace is a no-brainer. The sushi rolls are great, the nigiri is excellent, and it’s a lovely spot to catch up with a couple of friends if you’re in the area. video credit: Rianne Shlebak photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Food Rundown Hotate Nigiri The scallop is buttery and the wasabi cuts through perfectly. This is our favourite thing on the whole menu. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Aburi Nigiri Set - Tuna We weren’t fans of this seared nigiri set. The tuna was a little too chewy for our liking, so we’d skip the seared stuff and stick to the regular fish. photo credit: Rianne Shlebak Nigiri Set - Assorted A selection of nigiri topped with things like salmon, tuna, and hamachi. This is a great dish. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Salmon Crunch Roll Sweet, spicy, and crunchy, this salmon and avocado roll is a crowd-pleaser. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Black Cod Miso The black cod is unbelievably soft, and the sweet and salty miso sauce is perfect alongside it.

"Danieru, a tiny sushi restaurant by Chelsea Common, is small but serious. They grate wasabi tableside and the six-piece salmon and tuna nigiri set is excellent. The generously filled spicy chutoro roll is also a crowd-pleaser, but know that the menu will make its way back to your table when you realise you need another round of buttery scallop nigiri. Seating more than eight people at a time is impossible (unless the weather is good, in which case the terrace is the best place to be)." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
