“ Everything here was fantastic - truly a hidden gem. From the modern, cool yet minimalist design that makes you feel like youre in New York to the fabulous and super friendly service and of course the fantastic food, we genuinely loved our experience here. I think this place deserves to be even better known than it is, as the value for what you get is significantly better than many other overpriced London restaurants. Innovative yet delicious cuisine that puts a spin on every dish - we will be back. ”
“ From start to finish an incredible experience. They don’t try to copy Japanese cuisine they are inspired by it and use European technique to highlight the freshest ingredients. Linus was such a hospitable host at the counter and all the chefs and front of house team were incredible and friendly. The food had such deep flavor profiles and some amazing textures. Definitely going to be a regular for me. ”
“ A restaurant with a contemporary European spin on classic Japanese cuisine. Everything from start to finish was absolutely delicious! The personal highlights for me were the yellowtail sashimi, fried potato cakes, and prawn curry stuffed chicken wings. The chefs masterfully perfected each dish while putting their skills on display in their beautiful open bar. I also can’t emphasize enough just how great their service was, from the wait staff to the chefs. Thank you, Evernight, for what turned out to be an unforgettable dining experience! ”
“ Had an unforgettable birthday dinner here back in June. Ambience and seating was very comfortable. We sat at the bar table at the chef’s table, which let us watch most of the dishes being assembled. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Servers were very open to giving recommendations and happily clarified aspects of dishes we were unclear about. Food: Fried Potato Cake: The potato was fried super duper crispy while still having a soft and fluffy inside, probably the best aspect of this dish. However the cake was topped with a hefty amount of kewpie mayo and trout roe, which we thought tasted a bit overkill—very savoury and fatty mouthfeel which weren’t able to be balanced out with the spring onion garnish. Yellowtail and Cherrystone Clam Sashimi: Yellowtail was served plain with an acidic rhubarb ponzu dipping sauce. Not much to elaborate on here but the fish was very fresh and fatty which contrasted well with the sauce. The clams were marinated in a soy-like marinade, texture was very creamy. Very simple but well executed dish. Egg and Soy Tofu, White Asparagus: This dish made use of the seasonal ingredient at the time which was asparagus, which was very buttery and earthy. Below the asparagus sat two different types of tofu, one blob of egg and one blob of soy. Both were slightly different while enjoyable in their texture and flavour. The tofus were cold which threw us off a little, but also helped make this a very refreshing dish. They were then topped with a soy-based sauce as well as black garlic, which brought a lot of umami. A very yummy and refreshing dish. Devon Crab, Aguachile, Dashi Jelly: Probably our second-favourite dish of the night. Crab meat was immensely flavourful and sweet. Dashi jelly brought lots of umami and savouriness while providing an interesting texture. Shiso and nori aguachile brought these herby, almost spicy, and acidic notes to the dish. This is all topped with some kind of roasted nut/seed which adds a nixe earthiness to the dish. Would come back here just for this dish—wonderfully thought out and executed with each ingredient being laid out in layers, almost like a fancy crab cake. Turbot, White Asparagus: Probably our most favourite dish of the night. Turbot was, I believe, poached (or maybe steamed?) which gave it a wonderfully smooth and moist mouthfeel, really perfectly-cooked and also perfectly seasoned. The turbot was then sitting in the most amazing and creamy white asparagus sauce, which had a nuttiness to it. The turbot is then topped with green almonds and elderflowers. Elderflowers didn’t do much for me personally, but the green almonds gave the dish a much needed crunch and bite. Best dish ever at evernight!! Yuzu Sake Sorbet: Very clean tasting sorbet, sake and yuzu both very prominent and acidic, which is doubled on with a mandarin compote/jam. Acidity in this case wasn’t too much as it was a hot summer day. Well-executed but nothing mind blowing. Creme Caramel: Caramel had lots of whiskey which gave a nice kick and additional depth. Nori was a super unexpected but also addition which added an ever-so-slight savoury note. Topped with a whipped cream which was so good as well as biscuit crumbs (?) which helped with additional crunch. Definitely our preferred dessert of the two. • As a side note, plating for every dish was top notch, but the plates and tableware themselves were also very nice and sleek. The Taiwanese lady chef we were sat in front of was also pleasure to talk to. Regarding the price, we ordered pretty much half of the whole menu which came up to a 120 tab. Wouldn’t say it’s amazing value but it wasn’t too extreme either. I can definitely see myself revisiting here due to the constantly changing seasonal menu, and of course, the great food, ambience, and staff. ”
“ My mother and I had dinner here on the 2nd of December and were seated at the counter. The food was exceptional in taste and presentation! The quality of the produce used were high and incorporated beautifully in the dishes, making them really well rounded and balanced. I do not often feel compelled to write reviews, despite having eaten at many restaurants including Michelin 1, 2, 3 star ones, but this evening was perfect and exceeded my expectations. The team was really friendly, nice and seemed to enjoy their craft making it fun to watch them. I will be back! ”
“ We booked Evernight for our first night in London and were blown away by the food and ambiance! Even before we arrived, the service stood out—we had to reschedule our reservation twice on the same day, and the team was incredibly accommodating and understanding. Once we arrived, we were seated at the chef’s counter, where each dish was expertly prepared right in front of us. The food was the absolute star of the evening—everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and incredibly flavorful. The chef even surprised us with complimentary sashimi, which was such a thoughtful touch. Having recently returned from Japan, the experience truly brought us back in the best way possible. Special shoutout to Ayo, our waiter, who was kind, knowledgeable, and made the evening even more enjoyable. All of the chefs we interacted with were equally warm and welcoming. We can’t recommend this place enough—it’s a must-visit for anyone who loves elevated, Japanese-inspired cuisine in a stylish and intimate setting. ”
“ Outstanding from head to toe. Went with family. We were looked after from the moment we stepped foot into the restaurant . Every single dish was an experience. I have been to Michelin that wouldn’t touch the experience we had at evernight. I will be back. Thank you. We did the entire menu (no dessert). Every dish was excellent. ”
“ Incredible dining experience. Was a solo diner seated at the bar. I’ve dined at plenty of fine Japanese restaurants in NYC and Singapore, would put this right up there with some of the best. Food-wise, one thing I think sets Evernight apart is the strength of the flavors. Personally I enjoy strong, big flavors so this was perfect for me. Service was great. If you are seated at the bar, you will get to enjoy seeing the chef at work and perhaps engage in light conversation with him. ”
