Roji - A Culinary Symphony
My recent dining experience at Roji near Bond St station was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment I walked in, it was evident that this place was special. The husband and wife team behind Roji orchestrated a gastronomical symphony that left me in awe.
What truly sets Roji apart is their unwavering commitment to quality, particularly when it comes to sourcing local produce. Each dish on the omakase menu was a testament to this dedication. It felt like a journey through the bountiful flavors of London's finest ingredients.
The synchronization between the husband and wife team was remarkable. They worked together with such precision, meticulously timing each course and paying incredible attention to the smallest details. It was evident that they put their hearts and souls into every serving, creating a seamless and unforgettable dining experience.
Every course that graced my seat was a work of art, both visually and in terms of taste. The freshness of the ingredients was unparalleled, and the flavors were a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. I felt like I was on a culinary adventure, with each dish building upon the last, creating a crescendo of flavors.
Without a doubt, Roji offers London's best omakase experience. If you're a fan of exquisite, locally sourced ingredients prepared with precision and passion, look no further. Roji is where gastronomic dreams come true. I can't wait to return for another symphony of flavors.
Such an amazing experience! Every single dish has so much attention from the chef, it is absolutely wonderful to be able to share that while sitting there.
It is a must if you enjoy sushi and Japanese food.
The dessert was absolutely to die for, I went in January and still think about it.
An exceptional omakase experience. The chefs, Tamas and Tomoko, were meticulous in their craft but also courteous to respond to our questions. The fatty tuna topped with uni and homemade mustard, wrapped in nori was a standout with its flavours and textures. Also, a huge shoutout to Mark who took exceptional care of us and was spot on with his sake recommendations 👌🏽
The most amazing omakase experience. The fatty tuna, topped with uni and homemade mustard then wrapped with seaweed was probably one of the the best mouthfuls I’ve had in my life! The chefs (who are also a couple!) were extremely welcoming, professional and skilled. They explained all the dishes, and made the dining atmosphere very comfortable. A beautiful experience! Thank you Roji!
Great Omakase experience in a little hidden gem which create the feeling of being in the street of Tokyo.
A beautiful setting and intimate dining experience. Really great quality produce, with the scallops and fatty tuna being the highlight - a buttery melt-in-your-mouth sensation which I would love to have again (and again). Most of the courses were wonderful with 1 or 2 being a slight miss for my tastebuds. The chefs were lovely and explained the courses and source of produce with detail which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Unfortunately, -1 star because I did have an intense stomach ache about an hour after the dinner but may be due to my own sensitivity since my partner was fine!
Great sushi omakase for a special occasion!
Was awesome to speak with the chef and understand where the ingredients are from. Most are sustainably and locally sourced. Menu changes depending on what he gets from the market.
The one thing missing would be a small dessert, just to wrap up the meal.

With only 10 pre-booked seats available, the whole experience feels well invested. The fact that they have carefully selected the ceramics to go with locally sourced ingredients is transporting. It feels like a spa for food enthusiasts tucked away from the busy streets of London; like you step in a Narnian closet but with Japanese elements.
Another hideaway unfolded into the open - the things I am hesitant of announcing but the world just needs to know.
The couple chefs were just amazing with their service and looking forward for more. A 2-hour dinner was just not enough. I didnt even have the opportunity to experiment on their drinks menu as there wasn't a pairing set for the omakase, but to be fair, I was already swept away with the food (despite having one steal the show by not being happy with the sushi rice). I wasn't so sure though about the little giveaway at the end as it started leaking arriving at the hotel. I think it was something pickled.
Although it is basic courtesy, but maybe a dress code reminder could be reiterated as someone can just turn up in their board shorts and that spoils the experience. As for the early birds, just before you reach that little alley to the restaurant, there's a nice art exhibit you might want to drop by.
As much about the experience of being personally led through the food journey by the husband & wife combo as the quality of the dishes themselves, which from a creativity, taste & presentation perspective were excellent. Drinks pairing was a bit dear considering the size of the servings.
I can't give this wonderful spot enough plaudits! Ive eaten at a lot of Japanese restaurants around the world with 2 or 3 Michelin stars and my experience at Roji was superior to more than half of them. Both cooked dishes and sushi preparations were top quality. Moderate amounts of innovation were expertly mixed with precise respect for tradition.
