Worst arrogant service by a mediocre manager
We have never been treated so badly. We had a confirmed reservation for two people at counter made directly through the chef. When we reached the place they wanted to place us at the private room. Not only that they "cancelled" our counter booking but they insisted on charging the "cancelled booking plus charge another two persons for the SAME booking for a total ยฃ 1240 for TWO ppl. Then the manager insisted that since cancellation was not done 48 hours he won't refund. We left the place and would never step foot in that restaurant. No Wonder they lost their 3 star rating. Worst attitude and handling of customers we have ever seen in our lives.
Be the first to ReplyTerrible customer service
Despicable customer service. Very rude and unpleasant. Iโve never experienced such customer service in my life!! Expected more from a fine dining (supposedly) Michelin star earned institution. Due to my late reply to their dietary requirements I was refused service and blatantly asked not to come to the Restaraunt because the manager said they canโt serve me. After weโve paid ยฃ600+ for our seats, we werenโt even offered a partial refund. Horrendous experience. Weโve been to exclusive sushi restaurants in Japan and they were always very accommodating and welcoming. Seriously they should rethink their managersโ employment. He was extremely rude and I had to ask him to lower his voice numerous times. He smirked and called me entitled when I said I was a paying customer. Truly despicable.

Just OK, considering the price and hype. The ingredients were great, something missing. Ah so! A proper sushi master was missing.
Be the first to ReplyShockingly bad for the price
Having tried some great places in Japan, Korea and Sushi Tetsu in London I was expecting great things from The Araki. However the calmness of most places I've been too with the sushi master behind the counter was no where to be found. Instead it was several people all out of sync with each other. The sushi itself was ok, nothing great especially for that price. I suspect the amount of truffle used and o-toro jacks up the price, however I expected something a little more. Putting truffle all over so many things gets a little boring.

Frankly, they fact that The Akari was stripped of its three Michelin star rating proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Michelin is a cabal with no real interest in the quality of the food and experience provided. This is authentic, quality omakase. The chefs prepared the food with exquisite precision, the ingredients chosen were those only a true sushi master would choose. We were totally blown away. The Michelin guide needs to take a long hard look at itself, this place deserves at least 2 Michelin stars. Their inability to rate at this level shows that they are nothing more than a boys club. In summary, if you have the money, go here. You will not regret it
Be the first to ReplyDelicious, but extortionate
The food is delicious, and served exquisitely, but we struggle to describe the experience without being blinded by the price of the meal and the feeling of being milked for more money.
There were 6 of us, and the restaurant ushered us out within 2 hours due to another booking after us. The waiters assured us that we had finished our wine and sake, but refused to show us the empty bottles.
I would like to recommend the restaurant to others, but we paid ยฃ500 a head for 6 people for the menu and for the cheapest bottle of wine and sake per head. Including service.
I am very disappointed to be negative, but we have left with the over-arching feeling that we have been ripped off at sheer cost of the bill. We feel a fair price would be ~ยฃ150-ยฃ200/head based on the true value of the wine/sake.
Amazing high end sushi
This place has amazing service. They take the time to explain every single dish they serve you. It is delicious as well. Itโs a serving menu so you canโt pick but everything they served us was perfect. It is quite expensive but itโs in Pat with the quality of the food. Highly recommend this place for true sushi lovers and they are also kind enough to teach you the right way to eat it.
Be the first to ReplyWhat a wonderful experience!
Fantastic experience with wonderful food and service. Itโs more like a presentation than a meal with each course prepared and presented to each customer.
Not sure itโs worth the huge price but as a one off experience it was faultless and wonderful. I thoroughly recommend!
Waaaaaaauuw !!!!
Top experience ! This was an unforgettable night ! Thank you to the โ Araki โ team for an incredible explosion of flavours, thanks for the company, we had a lovely evening !!! The best !!!
Be the first to ReplyClear why Michelin stars taken away
Having had Omakase experiences at some of the best sushi bars globally (Hoseki in Dubai, L Abysse by Yanik Alleno in Paris, O Ya in Boston etc) this is the worst most overpriced experience Iโve had.
The ingredients are average at best, some not even fresh
The starters were bland and tasteless
The nigiri fish quality was decent however everything has been soaked in SOY and all one can taste is the soy
The only decent part of the meal was the handroll at the end which was just below the quality you would get at your local Nobu
Save your money and go elsewhere - truly disappointing experience and very clear why all 3 Michelin stars were taken away.
They are back stronger than ever!
We have dined here many times and have never been disappointed. The teamโs dedication to their art and their innovative approach leads to an incredible dining experience that should not be missed. Certainly the best sushi in London.
Be the first to ReplyPerfection
It's quite a trick to pull off such relaxed and professional elegance. For some - with the astronomical prices - the expectation would be a rather solemn affair, but that would be a real shame as the personality of the team shone bright alongside the magical food.
A was a little apprehensive when the first course was served - a very fresh dish but no real complexity of flavour that I could tell anyway. I needn't have been - from that moment on, everything that we were given to eat was remarkable. The tempura was like nothing I've ever tasted and I don't have the vocabulary to adequately describe it. Melt in the mouth doesn't do it anything like justice.
The theatre of seeing the food prepared alongside some interesting chat and banter really made the experience special.
I'd never been a fan of Sake - but I enjoyed it very much.
Yes it's expensive, yes they have lost their michelin stars, but it was faultless and one of, it not the, best meal I've ever eaten.
Can't wait to go back :-)
Considering the change in leadership, pleasantly surprised.
An experience in London that cannot be missed and is well worth the cost.
The Chef and his team have done well.
Fantastic
Exceptional food (with prices to match) - but worth for a wonderful experience.
Done with real love and care.
Continues to be exceptional
With the departure of Mr Araki and the loss of the three stars, questions were raised as to whether the next chef could continue with the same perfection and quality of ingredients. Having been back it is obvious that the level has not changed and we were extremely impressed from start to end. The food is creative and extraordinary. Yes the atmosphere is more casual and different from what it was but it โworksโ and reflects, as it should, the personality of the new head chef. We loved it.
