Location: 30 North Audley St, Mayfair, London W1K 6ZF

Moments from the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street, Roka is situated in the cool, calm environs of Mayfair’s North Audley Street, and serves up an eclectic offering of Japanese robatayaki cuisine.

From sushi and sashimi to tempura, snacks and salads, this contemporary restaurant is perfect for all occasions. Named to mean ‘a place where food and drinks are shared with friends (ro) and heat, warmth and an all-embracing energy surround (ka),’ the principal cuisine is from the robata grill, which originates from the fishermen of the northern coastal waters off Japan, who would cook the fish on the boats with different charcoals and share the bounty with one another using their oars.

The tasting menu is arguably one of the most interesting features of the whole experience. Providing two different options, the chefs have come up with something that really captures the ideas and visions of fine dining done the Japanese way.

Featuring dishes such as gyuniku to goma no gyoza​​, kuruma-ebi (black tiger prawn tempura crushed wasabi pea and chilli mayonnaise) and suzuki no yuzu-shiso fuumiyaki (fillet of seabass, yuzu-shiso and ginger seaweed salad) a 10 course option including dessert is one for the gastronome looking to experience something truly different!

This 1 star Michelin restaurant elevates the tastes of Chinese cuisine to new levels and, thanks to its status as an award winning restaurant, Kai Mayfair is not only good, it’s very popular!

The variety in the menu is equally something that distinguishes Kai from other great Chinese restaurants in the city. The dinner menu includes traditional items such as aromatic crispy duck which comes with lettuce to be used as ‘wraps’ with cucumber pickle condiment.

But what makes Kai stand out as a restaurant is its gloriously opulent interior simply oozes romance, and the food is likely to leave you weak at the knees too: it features luxe items like lobster, tiger prawns and wagyu beef prepared in a modern Chinese style. Don’t forget to leave space for dessert: the ‘six shades of chocolate” is chocoholic heaven, and there’s a durian soufflé for more daring diners.
