Endo At The Rotunda

The details here are incredible - from the way you are greeted (the bow as the elevator doors close) to the way the nigiris are prepared / the passion in the delivery of the food - I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it - probably in the top 3 restaurants I have been to - absolute class - and I will be going again.

A phenomenal meal and experience, couldn’t recommend more. Endo-san and his whole team have provided unrivalled attention to detail and care to each guest, ensuring everyone is well looked after throughout the night. Every dish is made with the best ingredients and completely faultless. Tempura, fatty tuna, wagyu, udon and scallops…. all absolutely delicious. Canele and tea to finish was the cherry on top. Would most definitely be returning each season when the menu changes.

I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant a couple of times, and I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional experience. This restaurant truly stands out in terms of its food, service, and overall atmosphere: 1. Culinary Excellence: The quality and presentation of the dishes were absolutely outstanding. Each course showcased the skill and artistry of Endo san. The selection of fresh, high-quality ingredients was evident in every bite, and the flavors were incredibly balanced and harmonious. It was a true culinary journey that delighted my taste buds. 2. Impeccable Service: The level of service provided by this restaurant was exceptional. From the moment I entered the building until the end of the meal, the attention to detail and genuine hospitality were evident. The lovely servers were knowledgeable about the dishes and ingredients, and their passion for the cuisine was palpable. The pacing of the meal was perfect, allowing me to savor each dish and enjoy the overall dining experience. 3. Cozy and Elegant Atmosphere: The ambiance of this restaurant was both inviting and sophisticated. The intimate setting, with 10-12 seats, created a sense of exclusivity and made the dining experience feel personalized. The attention given to the interior design, the traditional elements, and the attention to detail in table settings added to the overall enjoyment of the evening.

Best sushi / Japanese food outside of Japan, and Endo is so engaging and fun. It’s a truly unique dining experience in a beautiful spot with only 11 seats where you can witness and appreciate the craft behind each dish. The whole team is friendly and professional, with immense attention to detail. Hard to book and pricey but worth it!!

This is hospitality at it finest. Endo-san and the entire team go above and beyond, making it a truly unique and memorable experience. Place yourself in their hands and enjoy unparalleled flavours and the best ingredients - from food, to wine and sake - all delivered with joy and playfulness. Cannot recommend enough, worth every penny and I look forward to returning.

You get what you pay for. Exceptional. Fresh ingredients, wonderfully prepared in front of guests. On a par with any of the top Japanese restaurants in London Endo himself seems attentive and passionate (can talk all day about tuna 😆) and has a quirky sense of humour. Must be on his way to another Michelin star.

It was our first Omakase experience and it was mind blowing. The food was just perfect, full of flavours and creativity. Fish are locally sourced and fresh, wasabi is from Italy and soy sauce is from Japan which have distinctive flavours and textures. Endo San and his team were friendly, attentive and fun, we learned a lot about traditional sushi techniques. The setting felt personal, ambient and authentic, it was great to see Endo and his team in action too, so much dedication and love.
