Chisou Japanese Restaurant is an intimate Japanese dining room at 31 Beauchamp Place in Knightsbridge, close to Harrods and the museum district. Chisou has served traditional Japanese food in London for more than two decades, combining warm wood interiors with counter seats where chefs prepare sushi and sashimi in view of diners. Lunch, dinner and private dining are all available.
The raw selection includes chef chosen sashimi, yellowtail with truffle, thinly sliced yellowtail with jalapeño and ponzu, salmon maki and spicy tuna rolls. Seafood and seaweed salads add lighter openings, while scallops with miso butter demonstrate the kitchen's approach to carefully presented seasonal ingredients.
Hot dishes range from chicken karaage, gyoza and agedashi tofu to vegetable, prawn and mixed tempura. Grilled salmon, sea bass, eel with sweet soy sauce and white miso marinated black cod provide several seafood choices. Chicken teriyaki, pork tonkatsu and Kagoshima wagyu extend the menu into richer meat dishes.
Udon and soba can be served hot, cold or with tempura, while rice, miso soup and Japanese pickles complete the meal. Balanced teishoku sets make lunchtime ordering simple, and vegetarian dishes such as miso aubergine, tofu steak and vegetable tempura broaden the choice. One of London's larger sake selections, supported by knowledgeable staff, gives diners detailed pairing options.
