Cristini - Marble Arch in City of London

In the heart of Marylebone, there is a fantastic Japanese restaurant. We had a great day there and were escorted by Loreley, the waitress. To be honest, we would not have had as much fun if it hadn't been for her recommendations. We ordered a variety of dishes, with the finest being the grilled aubergines, octopus skewer, and beef tataki fillet. All very tasty and there's a lot of it. The rest of the food was tasty too, however avoid using soy sauce because it masks the flavour of the food. Cocktails were modest for the price but delicious. It's a good idea to go for special occasions and a bit expensive!

Amazing-my bf and I went here for sushi masterclass and Chef Dolma was very attentive (only 5 in the class!). Also, we got to dine in at the restaurant and service was great, many thanks to Elizabeth. Highly recommended!

Went for afternoon tea for my mum’s birthday. It was an amazing experience. We loved it ! Our waitress Elizabeth made her birthday extra special. Even gave her a birthday dessert platter. We’ll definitely go back for dinner!

Lovely ambience. The service was very good. Went for a Japanese Inspired afternoon tea. I enjoyed every bit of it

Fantastic - my partner and I did the sushi making class & Alex was amazing! Highly recommend. The fish is so fresh and the atmosphere is fabulous. We really enjoyed the waygu beef - flown in fresh (not frozen)! Definitely go if you like Japanese food!

Very cool sushi masterclass! Had so much fun making sushi. It also comes with a fizzy Sake and a beautiful bio of matcha too matcha 🍵

Awful.Went for dinner.Waiting 40 minutes from being seated to having the menu and water.The waiters were extremely unprofessional from not even knowing what to recommend from the menu to bringing the wrong bill and sitting at the table to take the order.The food was poor quality. We ordered the SOBA NOODLES which we could tell had been sitting in the fridge for the whole day. The TUNA TARTAR was extremely small not even able to taste it properly. The SHRIMP TEMPURA could’ve been frozen before, again the size does matter. The TEMPURA RICE BOWL had a bunch of regular rice with soy sauce and oily veggies on top. The CHICKEN KATSU were basic mini burgers with the typical veggie sauce from food trucks. Plus the bread was burnt, that indeed was super tasty.The sushi was not so bad specially the nigiri toro but the maki weren’t that innovative or tasty, “take away” material. Finally the tip of the iceberg was the salty and cheap soy sauce that accompanied all these meals. So yeah, would definitely order again the edamame but will not step foot in this restaurant again.Surprised by the beautiful architecture and designe along with the entrance and the professional look of the hotel, the restaurant needs a lot of work.

We absolutely loved the food here! A bit pricey, but we had a first table 50% offer on the food. The beef tataki is to die for, the salmon belly nigiri just melts in your mouth! It was just such a lovely experience, everything was delicious. And the hotel’s toilets were 🔥 😂

Booked the afternoon tea for my partners birthday meal. One of the best I have ever had, usually there is always something that isn't as good but everything was perfect. Since we booked it for a Monday afternoon there was only two other guests, so it was a lovely and quiet atmosphere. Food arrived quite quickly and the presentation was amazing. The waitress was very friendly and was thorough in explaining what everything was, also informing us that today was the first day of the Wimbledon themed desserts.I will most definitely be coming back and telling my friends & family about this afternoon tea :D

Had a celebratory dinner in June 2021 with my partner and we were extremely satisfied! The food was stunning in terms of presentation and the taste was even better! The servers were very friendly and attentive and talked us through any questions we had about the menu.Dishes we ordered:- Edamame- Chicken Wings- Japanese Wagyu- Tuna tartar (personal favourite)- Lobster croquettes- Beef tataki (personal favourite)- Truffle fries- Vegetable, spicy tuna, avocado and salmon rolls- Tuna akami, yellowtail, scallop Sashimi
