Roji

"Roji is a plan-ahead, book-in-advance, get-excited-for kind of restaurant. The 10-seater omakase spot in Mayfair is a special place that comes to mind when we get the inevitable “what is your favourite restaurant in London?” question. The intimate setup, with wooden wrap-around counter seating, gives you a front-row seat to the open kitchen. Description of each course, from the oyster limushi to the eight rounds of nigiri, adds to the anticipation, especially when you see the wide-eyed astonishment of people served before you." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing

"From £195 per person Roji is a 10-seater omakase spot in Mayfair where seasonal British produce is grilled, simmered, and steamed into something you definitely won’t think hails from Yorkshire. Ring a bell, be invited in by a polite server, and take a front-row seat to the open kitchen. At the wooden wrap-around counter, the anticipation starts with the chef’s detailed description of each course. It then builds with each new round, as you witness the chef’s razor-thin slicing of hamachi and the satisfied sounds of the other diners who have already entered a Scottish langoustine trance. There are eight courses, but thanks to the precise execution of each dish, you won’t want it to end. " - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley

"A meal at Roji, a 10-seater omakase restaurant in Mayfair, is one to save for an important anniversary or a big job promotion. Or if we had nine friends who had serious money to drop on dinner, we’d save it for an epic, blowout dinner party. There’s a refined feel to the space, with its wrap-around wooden counter and delicate, ceramic plates. From the first seasonal course of the evening to the eight rounds of nigiri, it quickly becomes clear just how excellent the fish is. There isn’t a single dud on the menu, with excellent ingredients—like sea urchin and fresh buckwheat noodles—put together with impeccable care and attention to detail." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

The 10-seater, high-end omakase restaurant is a special place that comes to mind when we get the inevitable “what is your favourite restaurant in London?” question.

"A husband-and-wife chef team are behind this 10-seater Japanese counter restaurant in a side alley just off South Molton Street. There are two sittings at dinner for the set 8 course omakase menu, which includes a nigiri course. Flavours and techniques are kept quite traditional, with much of the fish coming from British waters. As everyone is served together, punctuality is important." - Michelin Inspector
