Aqua Kyoto is a contemporary Japanese restaurant at 30 Argyll Street in London, a few steps from Oxford Circus. Set high above the West End, it combines a polished dining room with the Aqua Spirit bar and a covered rooftop terrace for meals, cocktails and occasion dining.

Sushi and sashimi are central to the menu, ranging from omakase platters and traditional cuts of tuna, salmon and yellowtail to more elaborate maki. The restaurant’s signature crystal sushi uses small flavoured jellies in place of a conventional dipping sauce.

Hot cooking adds tempura and robata dishes such as truffle teriyaki chicken skewers, miso glazed aubergine and yuzu marinated lamb cutlets. Larger plates may include miso black cod, sea bass, salmon katsu and several preparations of wagyu beef.

Lunch, dinner, set menus and weekend brunch give diners several ways to experience the restaurant, with cocktails and sake available alongside. Vegan sushi and hot dishes are marked on the menu, while guests with allergies should tell the team because allergens are handled in the kitchen.

Address: 30 Argyll Street, London W1B 3BR, England
