Nizuni

This restaurant was beyond the imagination. The service was extremely poor - slow, inaccurate (we had to change the salad 4 times until they understood what was wrong with it) and it took us 30 minutes to get a glass of wine. They forgot half of the order and spoilt the other half. DO NOT GO UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPOIL YOUR NIGHT.

A nice place to eat if you are in that area :)

We went to Nizuni on a Friday evening and we have been very pleased with the food and service. The food ranged from good to very good (particularly impressed by the aubergine and by a tuna tartare). The service is friendly and caring. The restaurant was quiet when we came in but had become rather noisy by the time we left. The price was very very honest and the value for money remarkable. I'll definitely go again.

Pretty food, awful taste!
Yes the restaurant is conveniently placed and looks good, yes it is cheaper than Roka and the staff younger, but that is is.
Like in the other restaurant, the owners used the cheapest ingredients, prefering presentation to real food taste, the staff has no clue about service and it is just passing the dishes. To avoid.
A waste of time and money

Excellent service. The staff were really helpful with recommendations and very attentive. Will definitely be back soon!

Nizuni (London W1T 2NB) - great food & cocktails. Moderate service, I would recommed this restaurant, really enjoyed...

While we found Koba by the same owners ok, Nizuni was a huge disappointment for us too (and I agree with all comments done by Aki on Oct 27) as Timeout's review got me looking forward to this place...
Kimchi as starter was ok, but then the Tempura was quite heavy and oily, and my Katsu Don "Nizuni Style" was plain awful junk food.
Waiters are kind but will try to lull you into cliché side-dishes (miso-soup and edamames).
Given the quality, this is incredibly over-priced a place.
Place really looks tacky and chain-like.

Nizuni at Charlotte Street for a lunch - lovely parfait starter followed by scallops. All presented perfectly, nothing mind blowing but good food, good atmosphere and great ambience nonetheless - and friendly and kind staff aswell . The wine was also very good. Let me go there again....

I was there with my friend last weekend. That was the best foods ever I've had. I definitely will go there again. I loved the atmosphere and service.

Service was attentive, food was delicious and smoothly brought out. Beautiful decor, definitely will be returning soon.

I hda a good time in Nizuni during my birthday dinner. Food was excellent specialy sushi and starter. I did not tell my birthday but staff catch during the service so when my desert came I recive special cake with candle on and my name was written. thanks for the nizuni staff.
It was really nice time...

Eating at Nizuni was a pleasant experience. The food was very tasty and looked very nice indeed. The restaurant was quite busy when we got there, good thing we made a reservation. The staff were very friendly and helpful, giving my friend and me lots of good recommendations as we don't really know much about Japanese food. Attentive service, excellent food and great ambience. Be sure to visit!

While we enjoyed our food, the service is what left a bad taste in our mouths. We made a reservation for 7:00 p.m., and were told we had to be out before 8:30 p.m. - a point that was repeated often during the telephone call. When we arrived, it was not "good to see you", but rather "you remember you have to be out by 8:30?". We were SO rushed as we ate, it was ridiculous. I felt like I was in a speed-eating competition! They had us cleared and bill delivered and out by 8:00 p.m. Never again...

And honestly, I don't really remember the food, because the service overshadowed it so much. Too bad, because I have a £90 bill for 3 to show that I ate there...

I went to Nizuni on Friday night with a couple of friends, I have heard alot about this restaurant from my work colleagues, who told me to go there and try it out. I am a big foodie, especially japanese food! We had such a great time there, the atmosphere was so relaxing. And the staff were very kind and friendly. We had alot of food there because we just wanted to try all the different dishes from the menu. I couldnt really remember some of the dishes but would definitely recommend the tako, tuna tartar and black cod. In the end, the meal was a reasonable price. I would definitely go back there again!

I was very surprised to read the comment here because I visited Nizuni after reading the review and I thought Time Out did an excellent job with it!
I really loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, it was really relaxing and the interior was well done. I also managed to have a look at the downstairs area when I popped into the loo (which is located downstairs) and it seems ideal to have parties in!
The food was great too. We were a group of 5 and we shared a few appetizers recommended for us. After that, I had a sushi set, which was absolutely lovely. The sushi practically melted in my mouth! My friends ordered rice and noodle dishes which I had a taste of and I would definitely recommend the chicken teriyaki!
Nizuni is definitely a great place to visit and I can see myself visiting a lot more! The staff are very friendly and the service is great. Definite recommend!

Nizuni, was a huge disappointment, and one should not expect anything close to japanese here. Starters were awful and the sushi mediocre, luckily we only had these and left.
The interior is tacky and lined with fake wood.
It was sad to end up here because of time out, as there is a superb Japanese restaurant just round the corner on Goodge street called Yoisho, which is half the price and food is amazing and the atmosphere fun.
