What a fantastic meal! We visited on Friday at lunch. When we arrived the atmosphere was very cool, with lots of windows and a relaxing vibe. We were served by Yui who was very friendly and attentive. We ordered the Taste of Samba which was a great selection of their menu. Everything was so delicious, I honestly can't fault any of the dishes. I highly recommend it.
A delicious experience! I highly recommend the tasting menu. We did the 100pound tasting menu and it was actually a bit too much food but so delicious, and very worth it for the quality and amount of food you get.
Service started well then went downhill. Tried to clear our plates before we were done, and without asking.
Food taste is good, presentation excellent! Servings are small.
Can imagine this place being booked out for corporate events or perhaps a wedding celebration.
Thank you for giving us the best table in the restaurant! We came without reservation and they found a place for us but I asked for the table i like the most with an amazing view and the lovely hostess made it happen.
Service quick and on point. Not enough sushi options on the menu tho.
I can say that we have no regrets from the food we have ordered. We left their with a happy heart and filled bellies. The only thing that we have regretted was not booking the restaurant upstairs (we dine-in outdoors) because when I went to their loo which is located on the same floor. I saw a somewhat magical garden-ish restaurant and would probably have enjoyed more if we reserved our table there instead of their outside restau.
All in all, we are glad to have tried this restaurant. We will be back soon!
Eating is Covent Garden is always fun, I’m shocked it’s taken me this long to visit Sushi Samba.
I had a lovely Father’s Day lunch, our waiter Philipos was superb, very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and helpful with allergens.
The portions are a great size and each course was made beautifully.
On leaving I left my new sunglasses on table and just as we walked out the lovely receptionist asked us to wait for a moment as they were bringing it down.
The only small star off the 5 for service is for the bar , wine took a long time to arrive , our waiter actually had to get it himself. If it had been faster we would have had more wine / cocktails.
Overall lovely experience and great location strongly suggest a visit 🙌🏻
You can never go wrong with sushi samba. It's a great experience from the moment you step in. Be sure to book a table ahead of time as it gets busy. Order anything from the menu and you'll not be disappointed
The food was amazing. The best sushi I’ve ever had. The lamb chops, super ! I can’t overemphasize how good the food was.
We didn’t have a reservation but the staff were super helpful and nice to get us a table.
I’ve been going to Sushi Samba for quite a few years which for me is a bit weird as I don’t eat fish nor any type of sushi but I’m going there because the dinning experience is brilliant and bringing guests who do like sushi or fish are really enjoying it
The two caveats I’ll add are;
For non-fish eaters there are less and less options (there were more in the past)
The service wasn’t as attentive, we had to search for the waiter and try to get his attention a few times - usually in a restaurant at this class I don’t expect to spend so much time searching for service
Modern ambiance with live DJ. Perfect for drinks with friends, tend to attract a younger crowd. The food is good even though some dishes are hit or miss. I wouldn’t say this is THE place for sushi but their mix of Latin American influences is innovative. As for the service, Stefano was amazing, always attentive and make sure we got what we order, he was kind enough to give us recommendations for drinks and food. For dessert please try rainforest, something different but delicious.
