SUSHISAMBA Covent Garden Restaurant in London

Reviews

1. Seraphina Corinth ★★★★☆

   Tasty Japanese-Peruvian fusion, lovely flavours (though perhaps adapted to the local palate). The salmon ceviche is delicious and the lemongrass mocktail is phenomenal. Overall: all enjoyable, but the dishes we tried would be improved by higher acidity. The toro tiradito is very small for the price and leans sweet (needs a sprinkle of salt or something else to cut through the richness of the fish), and the soft-shell rolls would greatly benefit from a sauce on the sweet-zesty spectrum (I had them with the toro tiradito’s sauce which was perfect for the rolls and elevated them so much!). 4 stars, accounting for the price and portions.

   We met at the Covent Garden location for a couple of drinks and the vibe was perfect all around... holiday cheer and lots of people... their service was still quick and the cocktails were amazing. We also had a few tapas with a salad and everything was on point... loved our time there. Highly recommended

   We brought a friend visiting the UK here for a night out and we had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and beautifully plated, the wine list was incredible, and the cocktails were inventive, well presented, and delicious! The atmosphere and decore were very fun! The place was lively but we could still chat. Will be back to try more dishes soon!

   From start to finish, the Festive Taste of SAMBA menu at SUSHISAMBA Covent Garden was nothing short of spectacular. The evening began with a refreshing toast of sparkling wine, setting the tone for a dining experience that beautifully blended Japanese precision, Brazilian vibrancy, and Peruvian flair. Each dish was thoughtfully curated, with presentation and seasoning executed to perfection. The salted edamame and crispy cassava chips were the perfect opening act—simple yet elevated, with each bite teasing the palate for more. The wagyu gyoza and ceviche brought brilliant contrasts: silky textures, bright acidity, and a delicate layering of flavors that showcased the kitchen’s finesse. From the chargrilled skewers to the tempura fish, every plate carried a unique identity while maintaining harmony across the tasting menu. The standout of the night was the main course: rich, comforting, and full of depth, paired with impeccably cooked rice. Even the broccolini side dish demonstrated care and attention, perfectly grilled and seasoned to highlight its natural sweetness. Dessert was an unforgettable finale—vibrant tropical fruit, velvety chocolate, and delicate pastry combining into a refined, indulgent finish. Each element was thoughtfully placed, creating a balanced plate that delighted both the eyes and the palate. Overall, SUSHISAMBA Covent Garden delivered a festive dining experience that was both sophisticated and joyful. The ambiance, the creativity of the dishes, and the impeccable service came together seamlessly, making it a meal to remember and a destination I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking exceptional culinary artistry.

   We went for a celebration meal on a Sunday evening. We were lucky to reserve a table as the restaurant was full. Lovely atmosphere and mood setting with the red lights from the red restaurant sign and green plants hanging from the ceiling. The staff were professional but I wouldn't necessarily say they were naturally friendly, they didn't smile but wasn't rude. We ordered the ultimate set menu, it was a very expensive treat and knew the quantity would make the meal filling after reading some reviews about the portion size. Lovely set menu, I would recommend it but I don't think i would ordered the dishes separately considering the size of them, therefore individually it is expensive for the size and what they were. 2 people for ultimate menu and 2 drinks plus service charge was over £320. Location is perfect and interior was great. However the female bathroom was filthy, toilet paper everywhere. Definitely will come back for only for celebrations only, I wouldn't come here for a casual lunch or dinner.

   Had my birthday meal here with my parents, thoroughly enjoyed the food here, the sushi was delicious and the sashimi was really fresh. Everything was so detailed and visually appealing. The atmosphere was perfect, and most of all the staff was so friendly, unfortunately forgot the waitresses name however she was really lovely! Would definitely come again and recommend anyone to come and dine here.

   The food was extremely tasty and the whole design of the restraint was brilliant. The service was exceptionally quick and the waiters were wonderful and walked us through the dishes. The theme of the restaurant was on point and the food tastes exquisite and fresh. It was quite pricey however and for the money you paid you certainly could of had more food.

   Very interesting restaurant to hang out with friends. We were a bunch of office colleagues and had a seperate room booked for us with a round table which was fantastic. There was a 6 course menu which was super fantastic. Every dish was done to perfection. The cost of the set menu was super exorbitant at £240 per person excluding drinks, but heard most restaurants around that area charge this much. Lamb chops was a standout dish as also the desert.

   One of my go-to restaurants in London, the food is full of flavor, the lychee cocktails are great, the service is great too. The place is decorated very well and just a nice place to have a celebration or meet up with friends and family. The view from the seats near the window are a bonus as well. Will definitely be back. I highly recommend the sea bass if it’s still on the menu.

   Absolutely incredible place. First of all, the restaurant and the decorations look amazing and the music was super fun (salsa music!). What really made our lunch an experience, rather than just a meal, was the quality of food and mostly, the waiters and waitresses. Quick, super friendly and very attentive. When you leave the table for the bathroom, they refold your napkin. As it was my partner's and I anniversary, they even brought out a little dessert on the house. Staff is always walking around to make sure guests don't have to look for them if they need something. Will definitely come again when in London.
