Nozomi

My word – you three sound like you all had a fantastic time on the evening that you all went – were you all in the same party?

I had a somewhat disappointing visit to this restaurant and I'm afraid would have to agree with the reviewers further below. I am a great believer that good service can make a mediocre venue special, and I don't think that the food has to be out of this world for me to want to go back – however, both were lacking in droves at this place. The waiting staff rude and the food is pretty poor. Subsequently, it's pretty extortionate and I don't think my hard earned pennies were well deserved.

If you want a great Japanese restaurant I'd head straight over to Zuma (or Wasabi even)!

I was at Nozomi this weekend with my girlfriends; We havent been in a few months but were glad to see that they had not lost their charm. The food at Nozomi has always made me wonder why we go to eat anywhere else, its sooooooo yummy!! they have all my favourites, black cod, kari kari squid and tuna tar tar sooooo delecious!! In fact I would like to award the chef with my own michelin star if I could!!! I have always loved the music and the friendly DJ offered me a sample CD of his so now I drive around all Nozomi style!!

One aspect i did notice is that they have put up new mirrors and light features which i think look so stylish and chic; completely fitting for the Nozomi ethos. If you havent been then go! I will definitely go again!

Nozomi is one of the most embarrassing restaurants in London. To call it a japanese restaurant is an insult to japanese gastronomy. It is therefore extremely surprising to see it listed under ‘Best Japanese’ next to award winning kitchens such as Nobu, Zuma and Umu.
I have been there twice and both times were a waste of time, appetite and money. Both times the service was unacceptable: waiters did not understand the menu or the ingredients and were confused by the meanings of ‘handroll’ and tobbiko (which was not available). In fact the service is comical: the first time the waitress needed us to point at each dish on the menu to copy what we were ordering – she still got it wrong, brought us the wrong dishes and asked what this extra wasabi was that we wanted since she could not find it on the menu. The food is a badly executed copy from much more successfull rivals. Hardened steamed rice which was at least one day old, refrigerated and then microwaved to order, was the least of our worries. Generally most fish we were served at Nozomi was of poor quality and… More

There is nothing to recommend about this place. Could hardly call it a restaurant given the loud dancing music playing while you dine – certainly can't have a conversation while you're there. Which is just as well because you are most likely to be talking about the very bad food: nothing from the sashimi/sushi menu felt fresh or tasted nice, followed by black cod and chilli sea bass which were uninspiring to say the least and served with an embarrassingly bad portion of steamed rice (yes, the “chef” even failed to get that right). I could explain in more detail that the main courses took over an hour to show up, that the waiter had the nerve to ask to move our table to accommodate a larger party next to us (who were clearly more important than us it would seem), but actually prefer not to talk any longer about the worse restaurant I've been to in London. If it were cheap, I might be able to say go if you're desperate, but all I can really say is stay well clear.

very bad food especially black cod .
it,s smell like 1months old.
and atmosphere very dark and loudly music.it,s like london night club not restaurant
