London’s New Restaurant Openings

"This big budget, party spot in St. James’s looks like the kind of place that has a line of sparkler-holding servers parading around every time someone orders expensive Champagne. There are smoke-filled caviar briefcases, a live DJ, and a menu of Nikkei (Peruvian and Japanese hybrid) dishes, like fried sea bass tacos and king crab gunkan." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

I would rate this a 2.5, but the food was genuinely good and the venue undeniably gorgeous, but the overall experience left a lot to be desired even before we had arrived. When I called ahead to ask about the dress code for teens, the receptionist was unnecessarily rude and condescending. She actually scoffed at the question like it was beneath her. Her tone and attitude made it clear she was trying to project exclusivity, but it was just pretentious and off-putting. We only kept the booking because we had a cousin visiting from abroad. At the restaurant, there was a strong push to get us out quickly - likely due to the LO age and the club element. Food and drink came out fast (not a bad thing), but plates were cleared immediately, leaving no time to relax or enjoy the atmosphere. Then, without any warning, the staff jumped onto the tables dancing and shouting - it was confusing, but it did add a touch of fun. What wasn’t fun was the surprise 'entertainment' charge added to our bill with no explanation until we questioned it. Given that we were being rushed out due to the age restriction, it's unacceptable to be charged for something we weren't told about, didn't ask for, and couldn't even stay to watch. Pirana wants to position itself as a high-end, exclusive spot, but the snobbish attitude, rushed service, and unexpected charges make it feel more like a performance than a premium experience. It's not a place we'd hurry back to, plenty other great venues offer excellent food and atmosphere without the pretentiousness.

Incredibly delicious and full of atmosphere! The food is outstanding, and the service is top-notch. The vibe is just right — you’re guaranteed to leave in a great mood. Truly one of the best spots in London. You have to experience it for yourself. Thank you, PIRANA! 🫶🏼

What an incredible night at Pirana London! This place is next-level — the Japanese food is absolutely top-tier, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Every dish we tried was spot on. But it’s not just about the food — the vibes here are unreal. Think Dubai-style energy: live DJs spinning cool beats all night, waiters dancing on tables, and an atmosphere that feels more like a high-end party than a regular dinner out. It’s the perfect spot if you’re looking for something fun, unique, and unforgettable. The service was fantastic too — super friendly staff who really know how to get the crowd going. It’s clear they love what they do, and it shows. We had an absolute blast and will 100% be coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and an even better time. 🎉🍣🎶

I’m usually not a big fan of sushi, but Pirana completely changed my mind. Hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had. It was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully prepared. The staff were super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Cocktails were delicious, and the atmosphere was great with a live DJ playing really good music. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a fun night out with amazing food!
