Hot Stone is a Japanese restaurant in Fitzrovia led by Executive Chef Padam Raj Rai, whose career spans more than two decades in Japanese kitchens. His approach combines technical precision with close attention to premium ingredients, creating an intimate experience that places craft at the centre of each course.
The restaurant is particularly known for certified Kobe beef prepared through the Ishiyaki method. A volcanic stone heated to an intense temperature allows the meat to cook at the table, giving guests control over each bite while preserving tenderness, marbling and the rich flavour of the beef.
Sushi provides another expression of the kitchen’s skill, with careful knife work and seasoning supporting the natural character of the seafood. Fresh Japanese wasabi and soy sauces aged in cedar barrels add distinctive aroma and depth, showing how traditional condiments can shape a refined tasting experience.
The compact dining room suits dates, celebrations and meals where guests want to focus closely on the food. From the theatre of the heated stone to the measured preparation of sushi, Hot Stone offers a Japanese dining experience that feels personal, precise and memorable in the heart of Fitzrovia.
