If you love authentic Japanese cuisine with a modern fine-dining touch — Akatuki is definitely worth visiting! The presentation of every dish is so elegant that you actually feel bad to ruin the plating. We tried a variety of dishes — sushi, tempura, black cod, miso soup, and a few chef’s special plates. Everything tasted fresh, clean and beautifully balanced. The crispy tempura with dipping sauce was delicious, and the sushi selection was impressive with premium cuts. The black cod was perfectly cooked, soft and flavourful with a lovely glaze. The ambiance is stylish, warm and perfect for lunch or dinner with friends. The staff is polite and attentive — they explain dishes with care and make sure you enjoy the experience. Overall, Akatuki delivers luxury Japanese dining with great taste and stunning plating… definitely adding to my favourite spots for Japanese food in London. Highly recommended! 🍣✨

A feast for the eyes and the palate! The location in Covent Garden is super convenient. And the restaurant has a really lovely vibe, both good for photos and dating. We dined during their Tsukimi event, when we ordered warm sake, they gave us complimentary Tsukimi Dango, that was so cute 🥺🥺 We ordered Lychee Shrimp Blossom, Seafood Tartare, Wasabi-Infused Lobster, Exclusive Wagyu Hot Pot, and Akatuki Roll. They were all tasty. Everything tasted amazing and the whole experience was great. I’d definitely come back again :)
