Endo at the Rotunda

"Endo’s bento boxes are being delivered around west London, but you’ve got to be quick. The first month’s worth sold out in just a few days. Keep an eye on chef Kazutoshi Endo’s Instagram for more details." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"From £275 per person Endo at the Rotunda delivers one of the best live performances—and one of the best meals—in London. The high-end, hand-to-hand interactive experience takes place eight floors up in White City, around a 10 or so-seater L-shaped wooden counter. The charismatic head chef, Endo, wields his sushi knife like a Fender and shreds the finest pieces of nigiri, before he, or a member of his backing band, places an eye-twitch-inducing six-day-aged piece of fatty tuna directly into your palm. Every person, be it at lunch or dinner, gets their money's worth in the form of a life-affirming meal and a one-man show all rolled—between two skilled hands with a dab of wasabi, a wipe of soy, and a sprinkle of yuzu—into one." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley

"At this eighth-floor, 10-seater omakase restaurant in White City, you will be hand-fed—or hand-to-hand fed. And you will savour every bite. Not just because head chef Endo stands in front of you, peering into your soul after placing fatty tuna wrapped in nori in the palm of your hand. But because the food is excellent. Yes, dinner is 20 courses and yes it costs £250 but it will be worth it." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing

"When you step inside the lift that takes you to the eighth floor of the old BBC Television Centre in White City, prepare yourself—and your phone—for the view. Full disclosure, Westfield is part of the view from Endo at the Rotunda, but it also stretches far beyond, over the city skyline. You’ll also quickly realise that Endo—the owner, head chef, and headliner—and his band of chefs are the ultimate view here. They perform behind his 10 or so-seater counter-cum-stage and hand-deliver an unforgettably excellent omakase meal. Yes it’s £250 a head, but this experience is absolutely worth it." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna

"Yes, it's 20 courses and yes it costs £250, but Endo At The Rotunda is entirely worth it. This 10-seater omakase restaurant in White City sits high up in the sky (eight floors up, to be precise) and every hand-fed bite will taste like it’s out of this world. Not just because head chef Endo stands in front of you shredding fish and peering into your soul after placing fatty tuna in the palm of your hand, but because this is one of the greatest shows in London—food or otherwise. It’s an all-engrossing but never attention seeking show of sophistication, rather than, say, Salt Bae." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
