Roketsu

This was such an incredible meal. The service was impeccable and every dish was so thoughtfully crafted. The meal was very authentically Japanese with some ingredients, like the seaweed used for the kombu, from Japan. I have been to Kyoto and this meal surpassed even some of the amazing kaiseki meals I had in Kyoto. The restaurant was also very thoughtful about food restrictions and was able to account for someone in our group who doesn’t eat raw fish. Highly recommend Roketsu for a special occasion!

The best Kaiseki restaurant in London. All dishes are incredible, giving a real-taste of Japan. All staffs are nice and friendly. Based on my experience, it is 10/10 for sure, will definitely go back again :)

Roketsu is one of the best Japanese restaurants in london, you will need to give at least one week for advanced booking. The taste is amazing, lobster tempura is fired to excellent condition. fish tsukuri and slow (3 days) cooked iberico pork is quite reasonable. I and my wife were also given a cup of koyto tea and crown melon for celebrate brithday.

Incredible Japanese restaurant, easily Michelin star level. Good is creative and the way the sashimi is prepared is outstanding. Served with freshly grated wasabi and a wide range of hot and cold saki, the food stands out as 100% authentic Japanese. I'd recommend the 10 course set menu at the bar for the truly authentic experience.

Had a lovely time, the waiters were very attentive and the chefs very professional. Really enjoyed the food! Absolutely loved the personal touch of watching the chefs wrap your leftover rice to take back home. Would love to come back for their summer menu

Just had the brand new lunch menu. Took me back to my days in Japan- delicious but also healthy food and really get a wide variety of dishes/Japanese ingredients. Was particularly impressed by the gozen box. Also the service was fantastic.

As always, a superlative experience. It is great to return and find that the things that made my last experience so special remain unchanged. The service is outstanding and the food is divine (I went for the main dining area Kaiseki option). I don’t think there are many (any?) options in london that exceed this in terms of overall quality. Only downside is that, at 9 courses, you need to come hungry else you just won’t manage to go through all the available courses.

I came here for dinner, and I will give you my honest opinion. When I entered the restaurant, it was gorgeous, and I felt as if I was in Japan. The counter seats are not too closely spaced, and the lighting is bright. The plates and food are beautifully presented and it is rare to find a place like this in London. The service from the staff and chef is also first class. However, what was very disappointing was the food. Octopus is too salty! The crab had shells in it. The cooked rice at the end had chicken cartilage in it. I felt that it did not carefully prepare and cook. I do not think this is representative of professional Japanese cuisine. Some of the seasonings are London-style, with sauces that cancel out the taste of the ingredients, so if you are looking for "authentic" Kyoto-style Japanese food, this is not for you. However, highly recommended for those who like well seasoned food and also enjoy the atmosphere as you are in Japan.
