Akatuki Covent Garden is a contemporary Japanese restaurant and sake bar at 30 Great Queen Street. Its carefully designed dining room and dedicated sushi counter provide a polished setting for lunch, dinner and special occasions close to the West End.
Sushi is prepared with close attention to rice, cutting and presentation, with nigiri, sashimi and rolls allowing the quality of the ingredients to remain clear. Appetisers such as gyoza and fried tofu add warm, savoury contrasts before the raw fish selection.
Wagyu and sukiyaki bring a richer side to the menu, while skewers and composed vegetable dishes broaden the choice. Weekday lunch and weekend buffet formats offer different ways to explore the kitchen without requiring the same pace or size of meal.
Sake is a natural partner to the food, supported by wine, cocktails and alcohol free choices. Akatuki suits diners who want familiar Japanese traditions presented with modern detail in an elegant but approachable Covent Garden restaurant.
Address: 30 Great Queen Street, Covent Garden, London WC2B 5BB, England
