RAI Tottenham Court Road

Perfect attentive service throughout and the food was really good! It would be nice if i the nigiri course was served at a slower speed. It felt a little too rushed. But it was our favourite course as the seafood was really fresh and we loved the sequence it was served. It keeps getting better! Seating by the bar counter could be improved too. It feels a little too cramped. Would highly recommend and go back again!

The experience at RAI was absolutely wonderful. I dined here last year with friends for omakase and returned solo this time to try tasting menu and wagyu. Both were exceptional, it is perfect spot for a quiet, enjoyable weekend meal - highly recommended for solo diners and groups alike.

We visited Restaurant Rai for my partner’s birthday, and it was an excellent experience overall. I had mentioned beforehand that he doesn’t consume alcohol or chocolate, and the staff were attentive and welcoming throughout our visit. The food was beautifully presented, refined, and full of balanced, thoughtful flavours. The atmosphere was also elegant yet comfortable — a perfect setting for a special occasion. One small issue was that, despite noting the alcohol restriction in our reservation, my partner was still served an alcoholic drink at the end. Thankfully, this was quickly corrected, and they offered him lychee juice instead. While I appreciated how they handled it, it would have been even better if that had been taken into consideration from the start. A special touch we really enjoyed was the lit candle on the dessert for his birthday — such a thoughtful gesture that made the evening feel even more personal and memorable.

Beautiful restaurant! I took my friend here for his birthday and we were both seriously impressed. We had the 11-course omakase with the sake and wine pairing and were completely blown away by the food — every course felt thoughtful and special. The atmosphere is fun without being stuffy, and the staff were fantastic: knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely welcoming. Chefs are amazing to watch and create great atmosphere as well as food. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a memorable dinner experience.

We visited RAI in London on Saturday evening for my partner’s birthday, and it was a pleasant experience. The food was really tasty—fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. It is a bit on the expensive side, but it’s worth it for a special occasion. The service was fine; it felt a bit hurried at times, but the staff did their best to accommodate us. The evening was a little rushed, but we still enjoyed every bite. I’ll share some pictures—the presentation was lovely. I would recommend RAI, but I’d choose a table next time instead of the sushi counter.
