We enjoyed every dish and the sake choice too. Excellent service, very friendly and helpful staff. Extra words to get to the very high twenty five word minimum limit..

Very good food the prices go along with the place towards the expensive side but in general very good. Negative thing was that service was a little bit slow.

Great service, very “real” and friendly. The sushi was good, it has the potential to be great. Atmosphere was good. Decor was fine, could be better.

The food was appealing to the eyes, smell was inviting and the taste was nothing short of authentic Japanese! Service was friendly and helpful, and didn’t have to wait long from ordering to receiving my meal! Charles

Very friendly staff and tasty sushi, sashimi, small plates rec. My main criticism is the portion size and meat content in the grilled main dishes. Ridiculous.

The fish quality is really superb. The staff is also very friendly, but could be better trained to be consistent in Japanese manners. It used to be more Japanese.

The service was typically Japanese (subtly attentive) but as you would hope in any restaurant, the food was the star of the show. It was absolutely exceptional. Love the small plate (izakaya) style meal as you get to try lots of different things. Everything was great, but I have to mention the seared fatty tuna sashimi and the Gyu Tataki which I would never tire of eating. Price wise, all Japanese restaurants are relatively expensive and Chisou is no exception, but it is not excessively expensive. That said, the food is so good you don’t begrudge paying a little bit more.

The food is consistently good. It's our go to restaurant in London for good traditional Japanese food. Oishi desu! The service can be a little hit and miss sometimes but nothing that puts us off going back.

Dishes were great but serving was not perfect. For exemple, Tempura was served prior to sashimi, a little bit old wet towel etc. But overall great considering its location, price.

The team are so welcoming and polite, but better than that you get a real feeling of traditional Japanese hospitality. The food is exceptionally good too, the fish/rice balance on the sushi is perfect. Our waitress - Su - was just delightful. One of my favourite restaurants in London, all the quality without the unnecessary razzle dazzle if you get my drift!!

The restaurant's atmosphere was very Japanese, as seen by the mainly Japanese customers who spoke Japanese to the waiters. But even though we weren't their regular/main customers, the service towards us was really good. The food was pricey for the quality - the salmon wasn't the tastiest, and the chicken cutlet was only good for the price of £16.50. We chose from the pre-theatre menu, so the meals came with starters (soup and salad), a bowl of rice and orange for dessert. If you're willing to spend a bit more (i.e. >£20) then there is much more variety.

Chose the selections of sashimi/sushi plus tempura and a starter of edamame peas. All very fresh/good food with attentive but not over-intrusive service. I have been to Chisou a few times before and would not hesitate to do so again.

We had an excellent meal. The choices were very good and we had a mixture of hot and cold dishes. They had an impressive list of sake too by the carafe too. Prices were high-ish but expected for that quality of food and wine. We will go back.

Atmosphere is really authentic, location is fantastic and the quality of fish is unparalleled. Their signature dishes in particular are creative and delicious. Staff are incredibly attentive and adaptable. Only downside is price - much too expensive, especially if you're eating for one or two; worth it if going in a larger group and sharing dishes, or celebrating a special occasion.

The food and service here is excellent, well worth a visit. Little bit on the pricey side, but then it is in Mayfair. The only hiccup was when I was paying in Scottish notes, which were eventually accepted. Both the food and drink menus are extensive with a good variety of options. I tried some dishes that were new to me and I loved them. I would especially recommend the Octopus wasabi Sashimi, it was very well presented, tasted excellent, ans was a good portion size.

A very successful night of food and nice environment. The choice was excellent as I am vegan and my partner likes her tuna tartare- we were both very satisfied. The staff were very friendly. The service was slightly slow after we entered but came up to speed later. We were relaxed as the place was busy.
