Engawa

Celebrated a birthday here and it was wonderful. We both had the tasting Omakase menu sat at the counter. The setting was cosy and we watched the chef prepare every single dish for us. The staff were highly attentive and explained what we were eating during each course. We had a wonderful time and certainly return to celebrate another special occasion.

Really cozy nice Japanese place. The food is amazing. The otoro is probably the best I’ve had so far in London. The bento box is really cute as well. Highly recommend the Waygu Roll. Great experience ❤️

I had a wonderful experience at Engawa! The food was absolutely delicious, and the wagyu beef was outstanding — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I really appreciated that the team took my dairy allergy into consideration and even prepared a special dairy-free dessert for me. Such great attention to detail and excellent service. Highly recommend!

This is one of the best meals I’ve eaten. Loved it from start to finish. Creative, delicious and full of surprises. Service was impeccable and welcoming. The wine menu was full of my favourites like Picpoul. Had the set menu (with the optional wagyu) and also a side of Eel. The bento style set menu was fun and one of my favourites had truffle. I’m trying not to spoil the surprises. It was definitely high quality produce and high quality cooking. The venue is small and gives a feeling of almost private dining. 10/10

Having lunch at Engawa was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in London. Every dish was a true work of art the wagyu served on a hot stone was simply spectacular, full of flavor and cooked to perfection, and the dessert of fresh fruit with mochi and edible flowers was the perfect finishing touch: delicate and beautifully presented. But what truly stood out was the service from Ayaka, our server, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional throughout the entire meal. She walked us through the menu with warmth and enthusiasm, making us feel genuinely welcomed. The restaurant’s atmosphere is intimate and elegant, and being able to watch the chefs work with such dedication is a real bonus. Engawa isn’t just a top quality restaurant it’s a complete experience that I absolutely recommend and one I’ll definitely return to.

Beautiful presentation and elegant flavors. The customer service was excellent staff were polite and attentive. However, for £130 per person for the Wagyu bento box, I expected to feel more satisfied. Unfortunately, I left still feeling hungry. While the overall experience was pleasant, the portion size didn’t quite justify the price. A bit more substance would have made it truly worth it.

Had the 5 course Sushi Omakase. It was very delicious ! The restaurant is small but cosy. There is a cloakroom. Reservation required. The staff are delightful and very polite. Non-alcoholic drink selection was a little disappointing but the food made up for it. The dessert was slightly underwhelming, and felt a little stodgy and blunt coming after such well crafted courses and refined food. The whole meal was very filling, overall it was an extremely pleasant experience.

We walked in on Wednesday evening spontaneously because we wanted to celebrate a good news and we got a nice table inside. We chose the 3 course sushi omakase with a wine pairing (with wine for me and sake for my husband). Pricey but really worth it! Delicious food, great staff, we had a wonderful experience! Truly recommended!
