Sushisamba Covent Garden

I can say that we have no regrets from the food we have ordered. We left their with a happy heart and filled bellies. The only thing that we have regretted was not booking the restaurant upstairs (we dine-in outdoors) because when I went to their loo which is located on the same floor. I saw a somewhat magical garden-ish restaurant and would probably have enjoyed more if we reserved our table there instead of their outside restau. All in all, we are glad to have tried this restaurant. We will be back soon!

What a lovely place to have lunch. The ambiance is classy and sleek, with lots of beautiful colorful accents. The restaurant is spacious and they have a full bar. We had a tasting menu and they very kindly accommodated my food allergies by alerting me of risks of cross-contamination and recommending substitutions, even though the menu was fixed. They were just so kind and thoughtful, so if you have dietary restrictions, this is a safe space where they care about you. To top it all of, the food was AMAZING. We had wagyu gyoza, nigiri, yellowtail taquitos, several rolls, and two different desserts, the chocolate banana cake and the rainforest one which is basically chocolate mousse covered in chocolate crumbles and decorated to look like a flower pot. The cocktails were also excellent. I whole-heartedly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Japanese food/sushi!! Everything was just so lovely. We are hoping to go back as soon as we can!

I’ve been going to Sushi Samba for quite a few years which for me is a bit weird as I don’t eat fish nor any type of sushi but I’m going there because the dinning experience is brilliant and bringing guests who do like sushi or fish are really enjoying it The two caveats I’ll add are; For non-fish eaters there are less and less options (there were more in the past) The service wasn’t as attentive, we had to search for the waiter and try to get his attention a few times - usually in a restaurant at this class I don’t expect to spend so much time searching for service

Modern ambiance with live DJ. Perfect for drinks with friends, tend to attract a younger crowd. The food is good even though some dishes are hit or miss. I wouldn’t say this is THE place for sushi but their mix of Latin American influences is innovative. As for the service, Stefano was amazing, always attentive and make sure we got what we order, he was kind enough to give us recommendations for drinks and food. For dessert please try rainforest, something different but delicious.
