Kurumaya in City of London

Great Japanese restaurant. We went as a group of eight for lunch and ate downstairs. Very authentic with taking shoes off and sunken tables. We had a hug sharing platter of sushi, sides and tempura and everything was very good!

Love this place! Great for take away lunch, conveyor sushi or sit downstairs in the restaurant. Superb food and attentive, friendly service every time

I love this place. For starters, back in my banking days I used to lunch at the belt almost every single days. These days, whenever I’m in London, I stop by to remind myself how great Kurumaya is. Competent chefs, tastiest dishes and a good selection of wines. Love the boat presentation! Loyal customer here, will keep going back. AAA !!

I just found this place while looking for a nice restaurant for a date. It's such a precious gem in the city. The food is just amazing, presentation is also very authentic. They have two different spots so you can choose between running sushi upstairs or enjoying downstairs take service. The decoration is just perfect too. We were attended by a very nice waiter called Rafael which was very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely go back there soon again.

Simply spectacular Japanese food. Every single thing I tried was the best I've had, and I've been in many, many Japanese restaurants. Top quality!!

My favourite Japanese place in the city, been going there for years for take outs and eat ins. Tucked away in the city. Upstairs your typical sushi bar and downstairs a more authentic restaurant. Great for a client lunch or with friends.

A very nice Japanese restaurant serving all your favourites. It has a very broad menu for you to choose from. We ate downstairs, and not a conveyor belt in site. Instead it was the dimly lit, low seating, shoes off style dining that you might like from your Japanese experience. There are also British normal style tables if you're either not as brave or perhaps suffering from arthritis. The food was great, although for the price I have tried slightly better sushi. It's fantastically presented and overall great tasting. But just a bit disappointing some items were cooked, like the prawn sashimi instead of the fresh-is-best style I prefer. All in a great central location for a dinner date with your mates or colleagues.

First time sushi for me so I cannot compare, but I did enjoy it. Tried salmon, tuna, and eel as well as some beef on rice and vegetables. Really tasty! I even liked the Wasabi. Prices are fine for dinner in London. The staff was nice as well. Just one thing, downstairs is limited mobile reception and we couldn't find wifi.

Very pleased with the sushi. The food overall is of good quality and we were very impressed that the sushi was done properly (a tiny bit of wasabi between the fish slice and rice is a good indicator).Price is reasonable given the location and the quality (the best Japanese restaurant given the relatively reasonable London price).It was very busy, and the tables were really close to each other. Not the most comfortable set up, but not a major problem.Staff is also very helpful.

The sushi in this place is top quality and reasonably priced. The sharing platters for two, three and four (£60, £80, £100 respectively) are very well balanced and are beautifully presented. In the picture: sushi and sashimi sharing player for three, priced £80, features a sufficient amount sushi for hungry eaters.Nowhere near the level of quality or presentation, but still pretty nice, is the chicken katsu curry (if sushi isn’t your thing).
