GINZA ONODERA
LONDON, UK
Ginza Onodera seems to be the perfect place to have your first
Japanese cuisine experience. “Ginza Onodera offers an authentic and
exclusive Japanese dining experience right in the heart of St James’s,
London.” This is the expression you’ll find at the restaurant’s website
that better describes the concept. But we have more to say.
After stepping into a stylish bar with industrial coolers displaying
the wines and sake, we headed downstairs where the dining area is
located. The design is modern and sleek, with marble counters, slate
walls, low-hanging lamps and an uncanny spectacularism.
We had six different kinds of dishes that felt like heaven. Between
sashimi, prawn and assorted vegetable tempura, Wagyu beef and
some other plates, we are not able to choose a favourite one. But we
certainly have to highlight the Wagyu beef, that was perfectly buttery
and tender, served with a selection of sauces and pickled vegetables
Chef Saito
and delicious wasabi sauce. Overall, the dining experience at Ginza
Onodera was unique. The food was traditional Japanese with a
modern twist and was of the highest quality. The sleek, modern decor
complemented the traditional but contemporary menu perfectly and
the staff was attentive and efficient. The atmosphere was relaxed
and peaceful and is the perfect ambiance needed after the stresses and
strains of the day.
