This is truly a hidden gem. The sushi exceptional, everything just melts in your mouth and you feel like your in food heaven. Try this place at least once its a great experience. I would mainly focus on the Sushi rather than the Stone.

Staggeringly fresh ingredients, your own hot stone to cook your steak/veg how you wish, subtle spin on standards such as cheesecake. Great food & service, staff & chef happy to answer questions, quality from start to finish. Cannot recommend highly enough. I look forward to returning!

Overall the experience was good.- Food: it was delicious- Drink: the wine list is too expensive for the quality offered (cheapest wine was around £58 for an average white wine no worth more than £10 in supermarket). We tried sake which was very nice but expensive compared to other Japanese restaurants.- Service: The manager is awesome but after the welcoming you never see him again. The allocated staff to our table couldnt answer basic questions about the food. Looking at the price I would have expected a better service.- Restaurant: it is very small and so close to the next table.

Incredible food. Delicate! And so tasty. Pefect wine recommended to drink alongside. Staff all very efficient and friendly. Didnt feel rushed. Great place.

Went for lunch on 16.05.21. Honestly, is not fair to call it lunch, it was an experience!Everything tasted amazing, from start to finish. We were using the £29 voucher and we order couple more of starters on top. Highly recommend the Wagyu sukiyaki roll!Then, the staff brought the hot stone and explained how to cook the wagyu steak, and it was incredible, the steaks melts in your mouth! Definitely will repeat!The staff was very attentive and always checking that everything was spot on, changing the plates and cutlery.Thank you for a great time!

Great experience, cooking your wagyu meat on the hotstone is something you have to try at least once!Food is great, very well presented and everything is on point. Well be back for sure

Great experience, staff were friendly and polite. The food was great cant wait to dine again.Thanks for helping me making it a great birthday lunch for my mums birthday

Must try Omakase in London, the experience was unbeatable and we loved it so much that we are planning for the second one already. :) There are two stores both serving Omakase once per week which is pretty cool, giving you the option to choose lol

TL;DR = Decent food, friendly service, cozy atmosphere. Would not recommend the hot plate.Food:The food was nice. I had the starter of Seared Butterfish which was accompanied by a delicious ponzu sauce.The star of the meal was supposed to be the Wagyu Beef on a Stone Plate that you cook yourself. The idea sounds interesting. In reality however, I was left disappointed. The novelty quickly wore off when the steak started spitting fat at me and sticking to the stone plate. In terms of vegetables, it came in a form of a few small sticks of asparagus (possible totals to one whole stick). The salsa sauce was once again delicious which saved the dish. The rice was high quality sushi rice too. I arguably would have enjoyed it more if the stone plate was not involved.Dessert was the Mochi Selection. Please note that it is two separate flavours of mochi ice cream. I did enjoy it but expected more as I would not call it much of a selection.Service and Atmosphere:Staff were friendly and explained how to best cook the wagyu well. The restaurant inside was small and cozy. I was interrupted by a waitress to clean wipe my table clean despite being in the middle eating which I did not mind but your milleage may vary. Bonus points of the Japanese Chefs welcoming customers as they step into the restaurant. Very authentic.Overall, the experience was a mixed bag but still overall a pleasant one. I would recommend to avoid the Wagyu Stone Plate as I would say it is overrated and overpriced. Sushi is definitely the highlight here.7/10

Started from sashimi & carpaccio to rolls to enjoy the natural flavours of seafood. Id say here is one of the JP restaurants in London which serves the best quality melting fatty tuna, i am pretty sure the wagyu will be the same. this place doesnt have a wide range of fish, but must must go for it if you are fatty tuna lover. not just tuna, other menus were fresh and brilliant too, need to try other menus next time.try soft shell crab roll with wasabi, its super nice. (as they make fresh wasabi, it doesnt give you a punch on your nose even though you put a lot, and it relieves the typical tempura greasiness)oh, 9 chapel rolls were spicy enough, wish theres less sauce and thicker slice of salmon on top.Overall outstanding JP cuisine.review by J.C (reservation at 1pm 11/09/20)

One of my favourite restaurants in London. The food is always amazing and the waiters were very friendly and helpful.

Extremely slow and disjointed service. Food was not mind-blowing or worth the wait.Food:Sushi was underwhelming and dry. Tuna tataki wasnt bad but over-oiled. Wagyu was good but not the best weve had. Wasabi was also very rationed.Experience:We went to use our voucher which we bought during lockdown to support local restaurants through covid and have been looking forward to trying this place out. We went for a late lunch (2 PM) booking and had a less than enjoyable experience. It took 15 minutes for them to take our orders despite flagging multiple waiters down and 1.5 hours for us to finally have our food (at which point we were starving). We ended up staying there (against our wish) for more than 3 hours for a 3 course meal. It felt like a wasted afternoon. I think the staff were trying their best but were always extremely busy. The restaurant as a whole didnt seem have a good process in place to manage order intakes and outflow of food. During our lunch at least 2 trays were dropped on the floor (mainly drinks) so it might be that the space was too cramped for that style of service.Weve eaten at cramped Japanese restaurants in Japan before but they dont have full table service and ran extremely efficiently. So maybe this place could also learn from how its done in Japan that also suits UK customers, without wasting our time.

The wagyu beef was exceptional and the only thing that’s worth it on the menu. Everything else was way too overpriced. The service was extremely slow. But staff were really nice and apologetic.

Waygu steak was great and the Australian waygu was Halal. Sushi wasn’t special, portion sizes were tiny and the prices were way too high. Ambience was busy and just noisy, not good for dates or birthdays. Service was OK slightly rushed, forgot the soy sauce and wasabi, zero option for dessert (one dessert on the menu). Menu stacked on the table, didn’t give it us individually, same with the knives and forks, had to ask for the card machine couple times. Zero wow factor, was still hungry; for those that want something on par with the ambiance and quality of Roka, Sushi Samba, Kaia you will be disappointed.

Best sushi ever tried, brilliant aubergine disappointing wayu beef.

The chef & the team at Hot Stone are always so welcoming and the food is fresh! Recently went for their omakase experience and it was DELISH! Will be back again!

We tried Hot Stone as it was recommended by Timeout London and it did not disappoint. The staff were so friendly and attentive to our needs. The food was amazing. Best Japanese food I’ve had! I would highly recommend Hot Stone Steak and Sushi Bar! I dined here with my husband on Saturday 22nd August 2020. All customers were socially distancing and all staff were wearing masks. I felt very safe eating here.

My first visit at any Hot Stone. Ingredients are fresh. The butterfish sashimi and tuna carpaccio are divine paired with sake. Staff is attentive, especially Estelle who reminds me of Lady Edith in Downtown Abbey. We also ordered the sommelier chosen wine pairings with our Wagyu tasting menu. However, the wines (both the Pinot Noir and Riesling) arrived in tasting portions, rather than at least 175ml. A few sips and they are all gone. The Yuzu-soy Jalapeño salsa sauce meant to accompany our hot stone experience was conspicuously missing. The desserts (green tea matcha cheesecake and Mochi selections) are both scrumptious and mouthwatering.

Kobe beef in London doesnt come cheap but you understand why when you sample it here. If cooking your own ona hot stone is a bit daunting, theres also really good sushi here too. And with nice decor and friendly service, its well recommended.

This restaurant is a stunning place. The chef comes to the tables to greet people and he is very communicative with everyone around.All the staff is friendly and attentive.The place is very clean and organised. In regards to the food: impressing - fish quality is very fresh, the rice is spot on! Even the simple pieces were so tasty. Definitely to go back! 5* stars to the team and to the food :) THANK YOU!

Ate here last night 13/8/2020Gorgeous and well thought out food. Attentive service and friendly kitchen staff. Still dreaming of the marbling on that beef!!Quite pricey but worth it and lots of deals around / vouchers to make even more affordable :)

Just had a fantastic lunch at Hot Stone today. Absolutely delicious and the food was bordering on art. The ambiance and service was perfect and all in all a great dining experience. Couldnt recommend this restaurant enough... thanks guys!

The most spectacular and pretty sushi I have ever eaten and the staff were all absolutely lovely. We really enjoyed our experience and will most certainly be back.

We went to hot stone London on 11/08 for my birthday. Chefs are so lovely on your way in, so cheerful & greet you with a lot of enthusiasm! Food is amazing & such good quality. A great experience. One of the best sushi in London.

Food was great, however, we were sat on a table next to the service cupboard, so constantly being knocked and brushed by the waiting staff smashing cutlery.The waitress made it very awkward for me to share the bill and kept making jokes at my expense, please keep your personal opinions to yourself, it’s pretty easy to split a bill, if you need help I can do the maths.

Love the vibe and energy from the chef in the front and open to watch . The food and the presentation of the food was divine, the Love and care of the design and how they cut out the fish is just wow ! And the smokey flavour and everything just melted in your mouth! I will say Worth to try and visit when your around with amazing experience and offer ! Definitely I will visit again. Thank you x

I had a fantastic time at Hot Stone on 19/08 /2020. The food is absolutely delicious and delicate. The quality of the ingredients was clear - and came across in the flavours. Very yummy and I will definitely consider coming back. Portions are small but that means you can order many dishes. The wait staff are very helpful at recommending whats best and how much to order.

Food was exceptional! Honestly every single thing we tried was off the charts! We got scallop carpaccio, grilled salmon sashimi, crispy shrimp maki roll, 9 chapel roll, unagi (Friends inspired), Australian wagyu and Kobe wagyu. Bill came up to around £250 with beers. Head chef greets everyone personally, great spirit. Would definitely recommend!

Scallop Carpaccio was extremely delicious and the Grilled Aubergine was heavenly as well. (Approved by Japanese friend with me as well)Sushi rolls were good and ambience okay.Waiters very professional (a bit too much at some point)Overall experience positive!

I dined at this restaurant, Wednesday 14th October, because I was informed they were continuing the Eat out to Help out scheme. I was very impressed from the moment we saw the restaurant to the moment we left the building. Very good personal service from all staff going above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our experience. Very good advice on the menu which we found very helpful. We got to sit up at the bar to overlook the chefs preparing our dinner, great experience! I can not fault the food. Delicious. highly recommend the hot stone wagyu for an unforgettable experience. Will definitely be returning to this fantastic restaurant. recommend to anybody.

Lovely experience with a beautiful aesthetic and delicious food!

THE HYPE IS REALEverything we read and watched online about this place is true ✨The flavours, the ingredient’s quality, the atmosphere... Everything is just great, forget Roka or suma! just come here you will not regret it 👍

First time i have tried Wagyu and i almost cried! 😂Absolutely amazing experience from the moment we entered until it was time to leave.The oysters were incredible and the aubergine was a delight, but the star of the show was the beef, i can totally see why it is such an expensive piece of meat. Will definitely be going back for the taster menu!Thanks again

Excellent Food! Great Service!Visited the restaurant and sat outdoors - a marquee was set up in the back to meet the government regulations for COVID-19.A great place to have Wagyu beef and high quality sushi! Will definitely visit again!

What a great experience. The setting and staff are exceptional, really knew their stuff. We went for the seafood platter and beef options with a couple of sushi starters. The sushi was simply amazing as was the rest. Highly recommend this experience to anyone but does come with a pricey bill at the end and you might even be a little hungry still!

Wow the food is super fresh and the way the food is layout is amazing ! they really do care for the food for the price you pay ! its worth going for special occasion or you love fresh sushi !! You must go if your around ! lovely Customer service which is a bonus is that you get to try this amazing dishes in front of you! definitely must try all the dishes was beautiful the fatty tuna, scallops , black cod is to die for and the sushi set !! of course yellow tail ! thank you I will visit again. !

An amazing experience! The chef was super insightful and friendly, explaining every dish and ingredient to us. The food was magnificent, all prepared on the spot and with the most amazing flavor combinations! Will be back for sure!

I booked Hot Stone with a lunch voucher and the experience was amazing! particularly recommend the oysters (we had 3 repeat orders) and seared salmon, but there was nothing that was not delicious. The chef was also kind enough to let us try the oysters with caviar without charge. I dont think it added much to the dish but was very kind. Great service, food, and recommend the wine pairing. I do think its pricey without the voucher.

It’s superb food. Nothing else like it. The chef and staff were so friendly and helpful. The chef has a bespoke way of putting together flavours. The accommodated my small children and even gave extra sashimi to my son! The service was second to non. We will be going back soon!

Very good, sushi would not match what you get in Japan but is close to it for UK restaurant. Recommend the black cod dish, very delicate and cooked to perfection, sauce is smooth and full of flavour 🥰. Expect high prices, but saying that all Japanese restaurants are normally expensive in the UK and most of them do not taste anything near as good as authentic Japanese. If I had to choose I would come back to Hot Stone again knowing it delivers on the closest quality and taste to what I’ve had in Okinawa. Customer service is very good and welcoming.

The first thing we encountered upon arrival was the very friendly welcome greeting given to us in Japanese! We were then led to our pre booked table and our offer was explained. We made our selections all of which were excellent! We wanted to slurp the bowls after we finished but wisely asked for spoons instead. The restaurant is clean and comfortable and our server was thoughtful towards our needs. The dishes were presented with care and looked delightful, but the highlight of the experience was cooking the delicious Wagyu on the hot stone itself. What an exciting and wonderful experience! Thank you.

Amazing food and service throughout!We ordered the Seafood and Wagyu tasting menu and everything they brought out was extremely delicious. We will most certainly be returning with friends next time.The service was excellent from the minute we stepped through the door as we were greeted with a traditional Japanese welcome, and each dish was explained clearly by the staff.Well done all at Hot Stone!

Excellent service and delicious food!

The food was lovely, esp the wagyu which is to die for. Well definitely come again. Enjoyed some good sakes too. One small caveat is that the service was too brisk, with the waiter too keen to keep clearing/cleaning the table so it didnt feel as relaxed as it should. Also the bill arrived unprompted as we were still eating dessert. So it did feel a bit rushed.

We were lucky to get the Wagyu experience. It was amazing, I have never tried beef of this quality. The service was fabulous, very friendly staff. All round an excellent meal.

We totally enjoyed our omasake session at Hot Stone !!! Service was top notched and food was amazing. We really enjoyed well made dishes with high quality ingredients paired with amazing culinary skills of chef Padam. Love the amazing sake selection plus a lovely chef table experience. we had a great evening. We will definitely be back again to try out the a la carte menu.

Service not very good. They were rushing for us to eat fast; suddenly kitchen was closed as well, we felt in a hurry to order. Suddenly we had four different glasses of white and red wine all at the same time because they said bar was closed too so we had to order everything all at once.Sushi is quite good but nothing overwhelming. Fish is very fresh. The steak is quite nice and desserts very good.

If you want an authentic wagyu meal this is the place to come to. Sushi is an excellent appitizer leading up to the min protein.

This restaurant is on the pricey side but is worth every penny. Fish is super fresh, service is top level and the meat is something like I have never experienced before.I highly recommend the beef takiki.

I have just received the most upsetting meal. Ive spent £160 on something that display like I bought in Wasabi or Yosushi.This was a takeaway for my partners birthday and the sushi in Omasake box were all scrambled to the side, the makis were all over the place, the sauce was leaking from the miso aubergine, the octopus was scrambled with the lemon and leaf display, the soy sauce written on the menu is an aged soy sauce but all I got is few packs of Kikkoman.I will expect a little more respect on food when this is market as high quality Japanese restaurant.THIS IS TRUELY THE MOST UPSETTING MEAL!

Hot Stone sushi brings Mayfair quality to Islington. Subtly placed in chapel market very low key, very welcoming. Warm staff fantastic food and wonderful drinks! I keep going back!!

Amazing! Had the best experience here, celebrating my anniversary with the other half. I really couldnt recommend this place more! Definitely one of the best meals and experiences Ive had this year ☺️

Perfect! The food was amazing and our host Lily was wonderful. Over all 5 star experience!

We loved this place! The service was really good, polite, friendly and prompt. The food was simply divine! So fresh, so tasty and beautifully presented! We will definitely go back! Really good!

Great sushi! The food is delicious and the service is excellent. I LOVE that the chef often comes out and greets us personally. The miso grilled aubergine melts in your mouth. Its also one of the few places in the world you can try real wasabi, I think. Worth the cost.Reservation name: Dawei Hu.Visited on: 26/08/2020.

Food was 3/4 star, service was 2 star, value for money 2 star.The staff seemed very chaotic and disorganised, and they cram way too many tables in for the price you pay for their tasting menu. We had to remind them several times that wed ordered the wine pairing. The food itself was clearly well made with high quality ingredients, but nothing that surprising or creative.

One word WOW. From the service to the food everything was great! The sushi here is beyond delicious and the hot stone is great fun. I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys good food and hospitality :)

Amazing experience ,very welcoming team and cozy place. Would recommend as a romantic or special occasion to treat oneself .Wines a bit expensive so went for a traditional sake. Well worth a visit, fresh ingredients and the wagyu beef just melted in the mouth. Love the fact that we got to cook our own wagyu on the hot stone!

Solid 5 stars! What can I say....went here first time after lockdown.....Service: Excellent; Food: Outstanding - Everything I ordered was out of this world but highlights for me were the Scallop Carpaccio & Salmon sashimi - They even (very kindly!) Allowed me to use a hot stone with Tiger Prawns, not on the menu ! Definitely recommend this place - I will be returning for sure !!

Fantastic service from the friendly staff. Exceptional, high-quality food presented beautifully throughout our meal. An absolutely memorable experience!

Amazing experience. This hidden gem is one of my favourite places in London, lucky for me I live next door 🤤🙏We dined at Hit Stone on Friday 30/10.

Great sushi. The wagyu hot stone is a bit of a gimmick though. Worth it if you have a deal but I wouldnt pay full price. The restaurant is not in the nicest street and could do with a bit of TLC inside. Service was OK. We did the wine/sake pairing and werent told what they were until we asked twice. Was just OK. Probably wouldnt return.

I have always wanted to visit Hot Stone and I’m so glad I did. The wagyu steak and sushi were amazing.Service was impeccable. I will definitely return for sure! Thank you!

Really enjoyed it! Amazing food and the team was friendly.

Firstly I have to say that the staff here were most attentive explaining each dish and making us feel so welcome. The food is so tasty the black cod in particular was a favourite of mine which I will be returning for next week, a special touch the chef coming to see if we enjoyed the most enjoyable food I’ve ever eaten was lovely. A little gem in a low key location and somewhere that isn’t showboaty which made the experience all the more special thank you can’t wait to come back

The sushi here is fantastic; beautifully prepared and presented. The service here is excellent and the restaurant has a really relaxed feel. Definitely, the nicest part of dining here is that you can tell the chef is passionate about what he does- he came out to greet the diners and check we were enjoying the food. If youre in the area and looking for sushi this is where you need to head!Unger- 07/08/2020

From the time you walk in, you are transported into a uniquely Japanese moment. Walking through the doors to hear an Irasshaimase! from all the sushi chefs to the Cherry blossoms along the back walls, I knew I was in for a beautiful experience.The selection of food is some of the most finely selected Sashimi, A5 Wagyu beef & produceIve had in London. The waltz of produce, flavours and cooking styles intertwines for the finest execution. Every part of the sashimi platter was fresh and worked so perfectly with their homemade Wasabi. The star of the show being their hot plate Wagyu melts in your mouth and leaves a lasting memory reminiscent of a warm sake in the midst of the Niseko snowfields.There is a depth to the overall experience that is anchored by their wait staff who knew every part of their food and Sake and explained it with such detail. There is an attentiveness that is very attuned to Japanese culture from the way cutlery is placed, all the way to a napkin being placed when it is needed without needing to be asked.Hotstone London is a true cultural experience that not only relies on their food but a nod to the Takumi (Artisan) of Japanese Cuisine.Thank you for the memoriesDate of booking : 08/10/2020Pax: 2Booking: Tommy

Dined here 21/08/2020 during a week pleasure visit to London with my partner.From the moment you walk in you’re greeted with enthusiastic chefs and staff that are all too happy to help you.Decor of the restaurant is lovely, traditional and yet modern. It was a very pleasing dining experience indeed.We had the Kobe Wagyu beef, coupled with two portions of Butterfish and Tuna Nagiri respectfully. Absolutely delicious and quite possibly the best Sushi we’ve had to date.The Kobe beef is an absolute MUST try if you haven’t experienced it before like us. It’s absolutely delicious and just completely melts in your mouth with pure flavour, no sauce or spices needed except for a pinch of Sea Salt to taste! It has personally been on my bucket list for quite some time however finding a restaurant that is certified for it (such as Hot Stone) proved challenging - glad I’ve finally experienced this gold standard cut of beef.We were initially hesitant to cook such a premium cut of meat ourselves, however the staff were more than happy to help us with tips and ease our concerns.I will be recommending anyone who travels to London to visit this restaurant for an absolute first class dining experience at an excellent price. Five stars from us!We hope to see you again soon on our next trip.

It was an amazing experience! The chefs really took care to maintain high standards and the food was delicious. Each dish with their own distinct flavour. The staff there was also super friendly and professional. I highly recommend anyone to go and visit

The best sushi Ive ever had. Everything here is perfect, the food is fresh (the butterfish is divine) and the service is great. Ive been here for my girlfriends birthday and it was a beautiful experience, thanks to the chef and the entire staff. Highly recommended if you want to spend a lovely night in a good location with high-quality food!

We had a lovely meal here, service was good and a good atmosphere. Unfortunately I got severe food poisoning from hot stone. I didn’t eat anything else that day so I can be sure it was here. As a result nothing other than 1 star. It took two emails to get a response and they offered nothing in return.

Visited the place on 20/08/20 after making a reservation. First of all they stuck really well to the COVID hygiene guidelines. Upon entering we were given a warm greeting from all the staff and the waiter provided an excellent service for us. All of the food was amazing, from starter to finish. I would highly recommend the scallop carpaccio, as well as the fatty tuna sashimi, absolutely exquisite (these are the starters seen in the photos). The steaks were super juicy, and the hot stone BBQ was an amazing experience. Would highly recommend the mochi ice cream for desserts. All in all a great experience!

Superb customer service. We were greeted nicely as soon as we entered the place and staff were so accommodating, has excellent customer service and communication skills. And the food was great! I absolutely loved everything from the starters, down to the desert. And of course the beef wagyu experience was awesome! I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

The service here was 10/10, we were served by a black man, who I think his name was Oban but I’m not 100% sure, his attentiveness and informative attitude towards our questions and requests was so unbelievably professional and kind that it made the experience a 100/10!We requested a halal option and he went above and beyond to appease our needs such as checking and double checking if there was any alcohol in the sauces or the sushi and even suggested dishes that I didn’t know I would like but I ended up loving it! We had the Australian Wagyu steak and the hot stone crunchy roll, absolutely delicious and I definitely recommend it!As soon as you walk into the restaurant you are greeted so warmly it’s honestly such a nice way to start the dining experience, perfect date & perfect service!

Food was amazing as usual! The wagyu beef melts in your mouth and all the ingredients were super fresh and delicious, the combination of fresh ingredients and sauce really lights up your palette. Our favourite was the tuna & caviar roll; the combination of sweet and savoury really was really balanced and tasted fantastic. The service was also great. Every time weve visited, the staff have been super helpful and friendly. By far one of my favourite sushi places in London.

We went for the omakase and really enjoyed the ambiance and service. However, the courses could have been a little more varied as we were having sashimi cuts and sushi that felt a repetitive - it would have been nice to have tempura for a different cooked element or some beef on a hot stone like the restaurant is known for. The dessert at the end was also quite small and overall felt a little unbalanced. However, we would definitely still come again as the food was delicious.

Check out my food Instagram: @appetitefoodieOne time SPLURGE @hotstonelondon , going in with the A5 Premium sirloin Japanese WAGYU🥩 100g. You seriously can’t fault this perfect, precious marbling little baby. Paired well with fresh wasabi, sea salt, soy/ Yuzu salsa and Kizami ponzu. & one asparagus. You cook this yourself on a hot stone and defo ask how to cook this.What to expect: The restaurant is small on a high street and very friendly welcoming. Staff wore mask and good service overall.Visited on 23rd August

Fantastic food made to perfection! Lovely atmosphere, decor and authenticity. You do pay for the quality of food and the experience. The hospitality was great and the staff went the extra mile to make our celebration special. Thank you!

50% OFF unfortunately was the bait that got me in to try the place, but fell into the marketing trap.It was a Tuesday evening and we decided to try Hot Stone because it appeared on my Instagram feed attached to an offer. The offer seemed good for a restaurant penned to be one of London’s best Japanese restaurants.The service was actually quite good. We ordered 5 dishes: salmon salad, aubergine side, crunchy hot stone roll , soft shell crab roll, chapel roll and edamame. In addition, the wine by the glass on the menu only lists the small glass price or the bottle. 1 large glass of white wine was £13.60!! We weren’t advised of the price and had ordered 2 of these and one medium glass of red. That came to £35 of wine (good to ask for the price as a tip).The food itself was nice. That said, I wouldn’t say amazing. We didn’t eat any meat which is their speciality so that may differ. When the bill arrived, it was £150!!! Insanely expensive and we left their feeling hungry. We mentioned the 50% off offer and the waiter came back with a new bill that has £20 off the bill... yep, not 50%, £10 per person.I felt ripped off to be honest based on the offer promise I believed I was getting. I wouldn’t go back again. The team did a good job.

Previously had been to hot stones in their dining room and knew we had to come back for their omakase and we were right! Absolutely delicious and a wonderful experience from start to finish. Chef Padam and his small team were hugely entertaining and extremely skilled in giving an intimate and informative experience in Japanese fine ingredients and drinks. Loved being a small group of 4 on the front row and left extremely satisfied with full belliesEirene yeung and Thomas LuthierDined 19/10/2020

The prices are on the higher side, but I can honestly say this place serves some of the most delicious Japanese food in London. The chefs are Japanese, the atmosphere is small, cosy and welcoming. And I’m struggling to think where you have have sushi that is more gourmet and inventive than this. I can’t wait to go back

Loved every minute of our sushi and Wagu experience. The food was sensational and the service impeccable. Id highly recommend it.

I have to be honest.It is really expensive for better than average food.I was lucky to be invited by a friend who had a 50% off mains discount, so we ordered a good few dishes to try.The majority of the menu is pure fish. There were only 2 or 3 meat dishes, including steak served with a hot stone to cook it. Nice experience :)But at the end of the day, nothing worth going all the way up to see.Needs a few more meaty dishes, sake that have flavour and totally need to work on pricing.

I went there for my mate’s birthday and we had a great time.Super friendly waiters and amazing service.Hot stone is super fan and it is very photogenic / instagramable.I could give 5* if it was slightly cheaper.I will def go back! (It seems like they are doing 30% discount lunch on Fridays and 15% on Saturdays and Sundays. You should check it out!)

We took part in the omakase experience on the 10th of August and it was the most mind blowing culinary adventure of our lifetime. Chef Padam is an incredible chef, insanely skilled, very charismatic and super funny. The experience was very intimate as they closed the restaurant for the whole evening just for us! I wish I could name a favourite dish of mine but every bite was a new moment and a new story, melting in your mouth and taking you on an adventure. We will DEFINITELY be back as soon as we can, thank you so much for the whole team who made the experience so much more special for us. See you soon!Kash & George10/8/20

Hands down the best sushi I’ve had since moving to the UK. The staff were super friendly and we had a great tasting experience with the chef at the bar. Happily recommend and will be back for more of the spicy tuna!

Tasting menu was delightful. Food is 5/5. Drinks are daylight robbery, prob 2x over priced. Islington interior is rudimentary and we felt the waiters were rushing us out of the door during of last quarter of the meal.

The staff were very friendly. The food was better than expected for someone who has never had sushi before, I would recommend the crunchy hot stone roll for those who are weary of eating raw fish. It was a lovely experience and would recommend that people at least try it once. :)

Great food and service !

I dined on the 6th October 2020The wagyu was amazing, we tried all three but the kobe 😍 i would also definitely recommend the butterfish and the black cod also the oysters were perfectly sauced and big. Love there greeting and the owner coming round to check on everyone every once in a while was also nice. Service was great. Would in whole definitely recommend this place 👌.five stars*****Sadaf

Second time at Hot Stone, the private dining experience was brilliant. Seeing the chefs prepare food in front of our eyes is like watching a performance.

The best Japanese I have been in London so far. The food is incredible, the decor and the atmosphere are really nice, it brought me back to Kyoto for a moment. The personal was attentive and helpful. If you want a nice and special Japanese dinner then Hot Stone is the place.

Would love to have given this a five because the food is absolutely amazing and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Had to knock off a star though because my husband had one beer then they ran out. Then they ran out of ice so couldn’t have any more cocktails (highly recommend the negroni -delicious) which was disappointing considering the price tag. This place is definitely a one of a kind type find but to consistently charge the prices it does, it needs to invest in an ice machine and stock it’s beer fridge better.

I have no words for this amazing sushi place!! So beautiful and a work of art!! Staff were so friendly and so knowledgeable about sushi it really is an art

I ordered Salmon sushi, scallop sushi, Uni sushi, Beef tataki. Sushi were flesh and tasty. I enjoyed them a lot. Even though I didn’t speak good English, waitress tried to understand me a lot. That was very nice of her.

Absolutely amazing food - went on 1st October! Would definitely recommend if you like Japanese food but then my partner doesn’t like fish too much and easily found things he liked the sound of and loved the taste of. The hot stone was such a great experience.We went due to the Time Out offer for our date night and ended up buying loads of add ons because everything sounded yummy (it all tasted great too). Honestly I love sushi and could have eaten everything!The staff were attentive and generally the loveliest you can imagine. The ambience was relaxed yet still high end - such a gem in Angel. Would defo recommend the crunchy hot stone maki roll, scallop carpaccio, hot stone beef for main with rice & spinach with the green tea matcha cheesecake 😋

So far we dining 3 times in this place can’t stop coming back . Best sushi I been ate . Friendly staff .My boys love the Hot stone Kobe beef £££

This is by far the most authentic Sushi experience I have enjoyed so far in London. The presentation is amazing, the staff couldn’t have done more and most importantly the ingredient quality shines through in the expert cooking. The cocktails were a delicious touch and a nice way to wash down some amazing cuisine.

First time I had dinner at Hot Stone on 22 July. As a Japanese, I was impressed with the A5 rank wagyu beef (of course its much more pricy than having in Japan) but why not especially after the lockdown lifted. Quite small portion for that prices but very fresh and tasty. Sushi I tried a few and I found the eel was a bit over cooked and too much sauce on. But this is my personal preference. Very friendly staff. I will go back to have more beef! thank you.
