About this restaurant

Fancy
Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails

Nestled in the heart of Mayfair at 20 Berkeley Street, NIJŪ offers a sophisticated Japanese dining experience, guided by the culinary vision of third-generation sushi master Chef Endo Kazutoshi. The name, meaning '20' in Japanese, subtly nods to its elegant address. Under the expert hands of Executive Chef Laszlo Toth and Head Sushi Chef Jakub Melcarz, NIJŪ reinterprets 'Katei Ryōri' – authentic Japanese home-style cooking – with a refined, contemporary sensibility. Guests can enjoy a warm and inviting atmosphere across two distinct dining rooms, one featuring an intimate sushi counter. The experience is complemented by Nipperkin, a stylish downstairs cocktail bar inspired by 1950s Japanese listening bars, perfect for pre or post-dinner drinks.

I have been to many fancy expensive restaurants and this one does not justify the high prices for the quality. It was good but not so good. The place is really nice and the service was great.

Overall delicious set lunch, but something must have contained a preservative which disagrees with me, so felt very lethargic for a few hours afterwards.

Spent 1,500£ for the table. Nobody came and take empty dishes or glasses. Had to call to order everything from food to drink, nobody came and ask at all. Very disappointed with the services but food and atmosphere are good. Recommend to go for good food and vibe.
