Expert dishes served up by one of the best chefs in town- Mr Padam knows his stuff and he is just so lovely, at the time we visited he said the restaurant had been open 2-3 months and that he had worked every single day- that is true dedication and professionalism of the highest level. Rai, is hidden just off Tottenham Court Road it’s a tiny place but definitely not to be missed.
I went with friends and we had the true experience sitting up at the Sushi counter and it really made this an experience! Let me tell you if you want a reservation you MUST book in advance this place is small and it fills up quickly. It’s such good value for expertly crafted sushi served to you in the traditional way- hand to mouth!
We sampled the 11 course menu for a bargain £75 and let me tell you it was worth it- and such a bargain for central london and such good quality fish. A little sneaky peak at the menu for you below:
Rai use only the freshest and the highest quality premium ingredients, including their freshly grated 100% Japanese wasabi that takes up to 3- yrs to grow, they also serve 2- 38-yrs aged soy sauces, koshihikari rice & Sanpuku nori which is considered one of the best sushi rice and nori in the world.
Our Wasabi was grated directly in front of us- i wish i had smellovision!
These oysters were dreamy.
Honestly be prepared for an incredible omakase experience my pictures and videos do not do it justice- you have to go yourselves and experience it!
Happy eating angels.
Lots of love xx
