Ginza St. James's - Japanese Restaurant London Reviews from The Last Year
Quality!
I decided to come back for my birthday at Ginza again, I had THE BEST dinner in a very long time! The quality of the food is always the TOP, very tasty food and lots of attentions in details and flavours! I absolutely recommend this restaurant! I couldn’t ask for anything better. Thanks to everyone who made that night special!
You have to try this restaurant!
This restaurant is the best Japanese in London. The food is delicious and the service is excellent! The ingredients are of the best quality and they have a good variety of dishes to choose from. The service is prompt, each dish is carefully explained and the atmosphere is elegant and classy. I recommend visiting it if you happen to be around.
Nice place good food
Was there for dinner. Tried to find the table for teppanyaki but couldn’t get the table. Food was good. Nice atmosphere and very convenient area near Mayfair London city. Some confusing with the order and a long wait for the food and drinks. Maybe try teppanyaki next time if we could get the seat there.
Delicious Japanese food in delightful surroundings.
Really super venue, great food, lovely staff. Absolutely huge downstairs, but still felt quite intimate at the tepanyaki table. Barman upstairs was so lovely and helpful. Really impressed to see an accessible stair lift for those who need it to the downstairs restaurant.
Not good - best to avoid
Avoid this place. We booked the teppanyaki table for a birthday, a party of 5, we were told we can’t allocate the seats; but when we arrived they put us on the corner not directly in front of the cooking area. I asked if we could sit in the vacant seats in the middle. No, we couldn’t, they said: a party of three walked in earlier and specifically requested them. Ten minutes later, it’s a party of two that sit down in those seats, not three, and five minutes after that they clearly didn’t want to be there because they move to another table. It seems like they didn’t reserve those specific seats after all. No wonder the restaurant was half empty on a Saturday night. We move into those seats eventually, but what was the point in not allowing us to sit there - when we told you couldn’t allocate . The teppanyaki is not much of an experience, don’t know why we bothered. It is one course only, performed in a perfunctory manner by a courteous chef. The quality of food here is average - the prices are not. Expect to get stung for subpar food. The first course was inedible. We all left it. The sashimi was ok; a bit hard. The steak was sirloin, not great quality but cooked ok. The staff are surly & self-important, dropping water or wine on you as they flit between seats in haste. We didn’t do the research before going, just wanted a fancy teppanyaki place. We regret going.
Truly authentic Japanese cuisine
My friend and I had a dinner on early Saturday evening and I must admit we were very impressed by the quality of authentic Japanese cuisine executed by passionate and professional chefs. Yellow tail carpaccio and tuna carpaccio were light, colourful and zingy, bursting with natural umami. Perfect way to start the meal as they were light and refreshing without too much saltiness. Sushi selections made with fresh and quality ingredients, we were especially mesmerised by how delicious ika (cuttlefish) was. Absolutely delicious. Wagyu risotto was to die for, the beef literally melted in my mouth and flavour was absolutely exquisite. It would be rude not to order this masterpiece! Fantastic service from knowledgeable staff makes this establishment a perfect venue if you are looking for a place to enjoy a delicious meal. Highly recommended.
Style over substance
I'd give the staff 4 but the food pulled it down a lot. We've spent three weeks holidaying in Japan so we are familiar with Japanese food. The afternoon tea we had was a big disappointment. Presented beautifully, it was a mix of small hot and cold savoury dishes and 3 desserts. The first round of hot dishes were tepid. The staff changed them. The second lot came on very hot plates and were warm but not hot. The crumbed chicken was only overcooked crispy crumb, with no succulent chicken inside it. The wagu burger meat wasn't delicious or particularly fresh tasting, not off but not fresh. The black cod balls tasted only of mashed potato and the nigiri was a lump of salmon and a bit of avocado, wrapped in rice and seaweed, in one lump, rather than cut into small neat slices. Tasty, but not elegant! Chocolate ice cream and silken tofu were good. It could have been a lovely treat but it wasn't.
Too much sugar and money but no real flavour
We invited a couple of friends to show our gratitude but we regret it wasn’t a good choice. First, food wasn’t impressive. Wagyu miso skewers were more like wagyu flavoured miso skewers. Too much miso which was too sweet, couldn’t taste wagyu and couldn’t see any meat. charging £30 (£15 per skewer) for chunk of sugary miso with a bit of beef fat is not justifiable. Nasu truffle miso was again too sweet, couldn’t taste aubergine at all never mind truffles. Sushi rice was too dry and from the colour I could tell it was cheap short grain rice, might have been cooked at lunch time. On the top of it we were charged 20% service charge. The waitress was nice and we didn’t want to embarrass our guests, we didn’t complain. Overall it’s simply not worth it. I am aware there are various reasons Japanese restaurants in London to charge so much but it was almost shameful to see people eat those sugary terribly expensive food thinking they were authentic. In fact they are just tappers food that would cost one fifth (and better quality) in Tokyo.
A must try for Japanese meals
A delightful evening in a friendly and pleasant restaurant. The OMAKASE meal was delicious and expertly prepared with good high quality ingredients and the wine and sake pairing is to be recommended. Looking forward to next time and trying the taste of Japan menu. Thank you for such a delightful evening
Satisfaction
Fabulous, I used to go many years ago when was under a different name so I gave it a try…. well I can say that the quality of the food is still outstanding and I spent a really nice anniversary dinner with my girlfriend. Great service we both felt very welcome. Will be back

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
