Izakaya Replaces Bar Boulud Burgers at Mandarin Oriental Knightsbridge | Eater London

"Set to replace Daniel Boulud’s recently closed American burger restaurant, this upcoming Japanese restaurant and bar is described as an eccentric izakaya that showcases traditional Japanese cooking techniques and a focus on sustainable, locally sourced produce. Expect a sushi section alongside judiciously seasoned prime cuts given grill time—catering to local tastes for high-quality protein, raw fish, and citrus—plus two separate bars with distinctive, creative cocktail menus intended to provide culturally rich drinking experiences. Backed by Hong Kong–based Maximal Concepts making its U.K. debut, the concept promises a fully immersive blend of art and design with high-quality drinks and innovative dining, and is scheduled to open in the new year." - Adam Coghlan

I truly loved the relaxed atmosphere, enhanced by the beautifully dimmed lighting that created such a cozy vibe. The cocktails were excellent, and the food was simply outstanding — including the dessert, which was not only delicious but also wonderfully presented in a very scenic way. The warm and flawless hospitality made the whole experience even more special. I will definitely be coming back!

The vibes was good, the sashimi was good too but we found the fish bone in the sashimi that shouldn't be happened in sashimi. I love the fresh wasabi but I hope it will be have more. The sauces in each dishes were too salty that I can't taste the original seafood taste. I expected the wagyu should be melted in the mouth because of the fat of the wagyu but it was too chewing for this signature dish. I appreciated it was pet friendly however as a 5 starts hotel restaurant, I would expect more in the ingredients and tastes. A Little bit disappointed for the tastes with that price. As with seafood dishes it would be always with less sauce to let customer to taste the freshness of the seafood.

Amazing food! You can taste authentic Japanese flavours and some of the dishes have a slight wester/international spin, adding that international umami flavour. Great service and beautiful location!

Dark and atmospheric restaurant serves high end Japanese. Very good. The music was a bit loud, the atmosphere felt more old school English than Japanese. Food was great.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at The Aubrey. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like princesses—every interaction was warm, thoughtful, and impeccably attentive. The service truly surpassed expectations.The sake sommelier advised us to perfection, guiding us through an elegant selection that paired beautifully with each course. Our food order was flawless, with dishes arriving at the right pace and presented with care. We especially adored the coconut ice cream for dessert — it was divine.The ambience strikes the ideal balance: luxurious yet relaxed, with refined details that make the space feel special without being formal. It was a memorable evening, one my friends and I still talk about.A heartfelt thank you to all the staff for making it happen. We can’t wait to return.

Karage chicken was yum and interesting as it was black and didn’t feel super fried but was still crispy, sushi roll and pork delicious and fun desserts. The crab leg was super expensive and not really worth the price as it was kind of plain in taste as well. Looks cool but I wouldn’t recommend ordering. Service was lovely and vibes very nice.

Service was fine, but the food really didn’t justify the high prices. The quality and taste were disappointing for what we paid. Alcohol was also overpriced and didn’t match the flavor or standard expected at this price point. Overall, not worth the money.
