Good sushi, pricey but reliable and fresh if you're in a pinch and need a japanese taste bud fix ;)
Be the first to ReplyWent to the Mayfair one first and was super impressed so
Went to the Mayfair one first and was super impressed so decided to try this Knightsbridge location. Now I know why it was so easy to get a reservation because they are not at all similar. We should have been warned by the somewhat embarrassed "irrasshaimase" when we entered. Fish quality was still good but the service was bizarre. We had the table allocated for 2 hours (as per the reservation) but while sitting at sushi bar they fed us so quickly we were done in 40 minutes. Meanwhile the manager is frantically talking to the basement kItchen on a walkie talkie which echoes down the dumb waiter and makes me feel like we are in a train terminal. And guests at tables are complaining about not getting fed. Over £100 later, we had good food but we won't be coming back

Amazing Japanese cuisine! I have spent time in Japan and therefore consider myself somewhat fluent in the food. My family and I were lucky enough to meet our Japanese friend there to order some great food that I may have never tried. The eggplant was amazing, the karaage was fresh and the sashimi was next level. The atmosphere was clean and beautifully decorated. All this comes at a price of course. I didn't see the final bill, but have no doubt it was pricey. Highly recommend for an authentic Japanese experience with special friends.

Authentic Japanese food, but the food came out in a random order. Not everything came out at once, even though the staff asked if that's how we wanted to be served. The tempura moriawase was a little small, but included 3 shrimp, salmon, zucchini, eggplant, and sweet potato. Good overall.

Appetizer special of duck was outstanding. Quiet atmosphere was a nice break from many city restaurants. Would recommend to anyone near Harrods

Not sure why this place has so little stars, because my experience was great here. Saturday night, no wait, fresh sushi, but I keep the fifth star due to cost vs. experience. It's most likely for the rent due to the address vs. the food. Anyway, I'll be back.
Be the first to ReplyThis is the Chisou Knightsbridge location FYI.
This restaurant is located in a very POSH real estate as what we had found out. It's down the street from Harrods and it's at the very end of the restaurant row.Depending on your palette this place might be A-OK or you've experienced better. The sushi was decent but the udon soup we had was bland. It needed more umami flavor. Also, on of the the dishes we ordered, the waiter should've asked if we wanted it as a "cold noodle" or should've notified us that it was a soup. She wanted cold noodle and not soup.The reason I'm giving 3 stars is because of the front management. John is their manager or in charge of checking with the guests. He was such a character and very entertaining. He checked in with majority of the patrons and spoke multiple languages, it was faschinating to watch him interact. At the end of the service, we had asked him where the go to place in the area for pubs, bars, etc. Having found out that we were tourists and we were "kababayan"-almost same ethnicity, he was kind enough to walk us down the street and show us where the go to places for bars and a club. He said no pubs for us! LOL! He was nice enough also to say that we can call him at the restaurant if we got lost or got in trouble and he'll save us! Thank you JOHN!
Be the first to ReplyVery nice room but I'm not eating decor so who cares?Sushi
Very nice room but I'm not eating decor so who cares?Sushi was ok, not great, not bad. My tuna of varying fatiness (blue fin, blue fin chutoro, blue fin o-toro) were all largely the same, though don't worry, the prices were different indeed. Rolls were constructed by someone lacking the doobie-rolling skills most Japanese sushi masters are known for so despite good flavour they didnt hold up well.Cooked food was a low point, with tough chicken yakitori, bad stir fried beef with mushrooms, ok eggplant w/miso and strangely tasty deep-fried gyoza.I'd go back, but only because I leave nearby and like sushi a lot. If it were in Vancouver or Tokyo I'd literally hack Yelp and find a way to award negative stars, but its not, so thank god.
Be the first to ReplyTo me, Chisou is the less ostentatious version of Nobu.
The menu features many of the same Japanese-influenced dishes, such as the Yellow Tail Sashimi with Ponzu Sauce or the Black Cod with Miso Paste, along with a host of similar Maki Rolls. Chisou's Beauchamp Place restaurant is, however, a more elegant space, with the decor reflecting hints of Japanese culture. Along one side of the restaurant is a cluster of semi-partitioned tables, which form hut-like structures reminiscent of Japan's simple architecture. Altogether, it is a small space and so can get very busy (bookings are recommended), yet even at peak times there is an overriding zen-like aura that ensures a comfortable dining experience. The staff form one element of this aura as they function with true Japanese efficiency: polite yet professional, attentive yet unobtrusive. The best way to notice excellent service is not to notice it at all.The food reflects the place by being fresh and refined. We were recommended the Horenso Salad, a layer of baby spinach topped with spicy prawns and grated carrot with Yuzu vinaigrette to finish. It was a simple combination, but the flavours were delightful especially with the zingy Yuzu livening up the dark green leaves and complimenting the juicy prawns.We also ordered the aforementioned Yellow Tail Sashimi (Hamachi Usuzukuri), which was lovingly presented. Each bite is fresh and clean, the unadulterated taste of the raw fish being so wholesome and healthy. This dish comes drizzled in an authentic Ponzu Sauce, which is a citrus-based Japanese vinegar mix. The origins of the word 'ponzu' indicate the effect it has on your senses: 'pon' is derived from the English word 'punch', while 'su' is the Japanese word for vinegar. A subtle, tangy, refreshing punch on your taste buds indeed.The Rock Shrimp Tempura wasn't as enjoyable as the rest, perhaps because there was an inevitable comparison with Nobu who do the tempura to hot, crispy, golden perfection. The Chisou offering wasn't quite as hot and crispy, nor quite as golden. It was a rather paler batter, which didn't succumb between your teeth with the satisfying crunch you would desire from it. Underneath this coating, the shrimp themselves weren't as juicy, a little drier. Don't get me wrong, it was still pleasingly edible and the dipping sauce of Yuzu Mayonnaise made it more interesting (and tasty). I must also note that this dish is on the 'Chef's Specials'; an elite group of dishes that form a small, separate list of recommendations. Perhaps this also contributed to my slight nonchalance towards the Rock Shrimp, because it wasn't necessarily 'special'.The sushi we ordered came on one long rectangular platter. Our dish combined the Spider Maki, Sake Avocado Maki and California Roll - all of which were good. They are light and dainty, but altogether filling. The Spider Maki is a soft shell crab inside-out roll, which gave the right amount of crunch. The Sake Avocado Maki is a salmon and avocado inside-out roll with generous portions of fish and very soft avocado pieces. The California Roll is a mouthful and, again, delicious and fresh. I stated in a previous post that I like my sushi a certain way, preferably with brown rice, but as far as white rice rolls go - these get my approval.I've been to Chisou's Knightsbridge abode twice now, and both times have been filed in my memory under the 'pleasant evenings' category. Good food, great service, lovely setting, perfect ambiance. The price is as to be expected from a Knightsbridge Japanese joint, so while it won't be my go-to place for sushi and the rest, I probably will return at some point in the future, most probably to venture upstairs into the sake bar where you can find seventy different sake variations. That's a dangerous-sounding number, but also exclusive and impressive. Go-to list, maybe not; to-do list, definitely. Kampai!

Decent ambiance at this townhouse location but the food was pretty mediocre. They have a nice selection of sake ranging from hot to lukewarm to cold. We ordered rolls and a couple salads. Portions are generous but quality of rolls were pretty poor. Quality of fish and presentation were disappointing given that this is a decent restaurant. For the price try roka.
