Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Junsei delights with its "incredible flavors" of perfectly grilled yakitori and a cozy ambiance. The staff is "very kind and helpful," enhancing the dining experience. While some find the pricing high, the "amazing" cocktails and offal skewers stand out. A "rare gem" for Japanese cuisine enthusiasts in London.

    My partner is Japanese and grew up in the country. We loved the flavours and thoughtful arrangement of the omakase. Chef also included an extra skewer while overhearing my partner talk about it being his childhood favourite. We cannot praise this venue enough!

    Amazing hidden gem Japanese restaurant with lots of yakitori and rice choices. Was preferred by a lot of Japanese people during my dinner, hence gave a good sign! Staff is very kind and helpful.

    We had the chef’s special menu. The food was very good but we felt it would have been cheaper to just go A La Carte. We were 8 so decided it was easier to just go for the set menu but on reflection it was a mistake. It was very expensive and for some of us a dish too much so the carte would have been better.

    Dear Jacqueline, Thank you for taking your time out and sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the food overall, We understand your point about the set menu and appreciate you taking the time to reflect on your experience. Sometimes, when dining with a larger group, the set menu our Omakase menu can seem like the easier option, but we completely understand how going à la carte might have been a better choice for your preferences. We’ll certainly take your comments into account as we strive to provide the best possible dining experience for all of our guests. We hope to welcome you again soon at Junsei. Kind Regards, Team Junsei

    Really good food and amazing service. Recommend for family and friends get together. Rice donabe is a must have dish, but it takes 45mins to cook, so it’s better to order before.

    First time in thie restaurant, so chose the long set menu to try various dishes. It was all about chicken yakitoris and lacked diversity.

    Was very disappointed. Good concept is lots of small plates, but each plate of very expensive and tiny amounts of food and the cost is ridiculously high. The waiter was professional but everything else felt like a rip off
