The story
Nobu at 19 Old Park Lane, W1K 1LB, London, serves Japanese-Peruvian cooking and holds a Michelin Recommended listing for 2026. The menu runs from sushi and sashimi to hot plates and plant-based dishes, with a Japanese kitchen at its core.
The Yellowtail Jalapeño arrives as six pieces of sashimi with garlic purée, jalapeño slices, coriander and a Japanese citrus soy sauce. The Black Cod Miso is marinated in Den miso for several days, baked, then finished under a salamander broil. Other dishes that recur on the menu include the Sashimi Salad with Matsuhisa Dressing and Rock Shrimp Tempura with creamy spicy sauce.
The kitchen suggests that first-time guests try three or more of its Eight Highlights. Start with cold dishes, move to hot ones, and finish with sushi and dessert, all shared family style.
Saturday brunch is a sushi and sashimi buffet, with a choice of mains that includes the Black Cod Miso and a dessert buffet. The sushi masterclass pairs a demonstration with hands-on practice at the sushi counter, followed by a four-course omakase tasting menu. Nobu at Home delivers the restaurant's dishes in ready-to-eat packaging for dinner parties and private gatherings.
The restaurant has a bar, counter dining and a private room. Its sake list is noted among the restaurant's features.
