FAQs

Does Ukiyo have private dining?

Yes, Ukiyo accepts private parties and larger bookings. Keep in mind our venue is an intimate counter-style space, so private event logistics may differ from a typical dining room; contact us directly to discuss group size, seating and bespoke menu options here.

Does Ukiyo have vegan/vegetarian, gluten-free or other dietary options?

Yes, Ukiyo accommodates gluten-free diners and common allergies, but the menu is heavily seafood-focused, so vegetarian and vegan options are limited. Several guests praised the restaurant for catering to gluten intolerance and shellfish allergy. If you have specific dietary needs (vegan, vegetarian or strict allergies), call ahead so the chef can advise or adapt dishes.

Does Ukiyo have any specials deals or experiences?

Yes, UKIYO runs curated experiences such as hand-roll set menus and two tasting-menu options (75 and 105), plus chef-driven omakase-style surprises. Our guests frequently recommend trying a tasting menu or a hand-roll set to get a broad taste of the menu and great value for quality seafood preparations.

Can I make any special requests before I arrive?

Yes, guests report the chefs are happy to accommodate allergies, birthdays and personalised touches. The Ukiyo staff and chefs will adapt dishes for gluten-free or allergy needs and even prepare a special dish for a birthday. It’s best to call ahead and explain dietary requirements or celebration requests so the team can prepare.

What's the ambience/atmosphere like in this restaurant?

Ukiyo feels intimate, contemporary and lively, many guests describe it as relaxed, cozy and perfect for a close-up sushi experience. The atmosphere is centred on the chef-counter interaction; some guests mention upbeat music and a bustling vibe. Overall it’s seen as warm, friendly and energetic.

Does Ukiyo have dynamic or rotating menus?

Yes, our guests mention chef’s surprises and omakase-style selections, and the tasting menus let the chef decide on dishes. Reviews frequently reference chef-led dishes and surprises, which indicate the menu includes rotating or changing elements based on seasonality and the chef’s choices.

 Verified Incredible food, waiters and chefs! My friend and I had such a good time. Every chef only serves about six people so the food came quickly and sitting at the bar counter and being handed the hand rolls as they were finished was so fun. My only note was that the music was a bit incongruous with the vibe of the restaurant, but if you want amazing and well priced sushi in the heart of the west end, then look no further.

 Verified Ive been to many Sushi places around the world and in London and this was by far the best sushi I have ever had. Extremely fresh and high quality with affordable prices. The chefs are very friendly, talented and attentive, it is a beautifully intimate dining experience. I took my partner for his birthday and they even made us a special dish on the house after finding this out. The tasting menu is a perfect way to try everything they have to offer whilst also being able to choose things to your liking, and it is more than enough food for 2. I will definitely be back.
