Delicious
Lunch at Defune was so good. From the set lunch menue I choose the pork teriyaki and my husband the chefs special teppan. Both of these dishes were delicious. Not to forget to mention that the staff were all so very polite and professional. We will definitely visit again soon.

Booked at the sushi counter, upon arrival only 3 other people in the restaurant but still it took 15 mins of being ignored to finally be approached with "what would you like to order?". Unfortunately by that point we had not been given menus, so ordered drinks and requested menus. No hand towels (these were offered to the group next to us arriving later - had we offended someone inadvertently?), and drinks took a further 6-7 minutes despite being simply a bottle of water. Food was good - a little pricey if you're going a la carte, but the set menus are good value with decent portion sizes and fresh quality seafood. The food came briskly, almost too much so, and they were very slow in clearing away empty dishes/plates. Overall good authentic Japanese with great menu choice, but at this sort of price level the service really was abysmal.
Be the first to ReplyFantastic sushi, probably the best I have had the pleasure to eat. Even better than Osaka and Tokyo.
Simple atmosphere but stunning food, and really excellent great service. Easy to find but I must say its not cheap probably even expensive.

Foie gras was really disgusting in a soup of rice and soy sauce. Terriyaki beef was boring close to uneatable with hospital food-like veggies. Will never ever go again. Service was invisible.
Be the first to ReplyConsistently excellent food. Try to remember it's a Japanese restaurant.
As a lover of Japanese restaurants, I have sampled a lot in London. But I was a ware that not all are authentically Japanese. So when I joined a big Japanese bank in 2006, I asked the Japanese senior managers where they ate in London. They were all definite: it could only be Defune. Since then, I have been a regular visitor to the teppanyaki here and have never been disappointed.

Our family dined at Defune last week while on vacation in London. The restaurant has nice ambiance and the sushi/sashimi was excellent. However, the service was very poor. I asked for a plate of steamed vegetables with my dinner, which they did offer (while not on the menu), as the hot entrees were served with them. Not only did the waitress not bring them, after apologizing, and then still not bringing them, she HID behind a column so we couldn't flag her down. We then finally told her to remove them from the bill and just bring our check. She said "So sorry, it's really busy downstairs". How long do vegetables take to cook?

I write this review as a regular visitor to Japan. Not only am I a regular visitor to Japan but I have travelled the width and breadth of Japan and sampled the extraordinary range of regional and seasonal cooking on offer. As well as of course countless sushi and sashimi experiences. Therefore I say with some confidence that I know of what I speak. We sat at the counter upstairs at Defune and had a light lunch consisting of sushi and sashimi, as well as a salad and miso soup. In summary ? For the astronomical prices charged, the quality is simply not there. The fish was not of the freshness that you would expect from a restaurant of this calibre: - The saba (mackerel) had the oily nature and distinctive taste that is the hallmark of mackerel that is not perfectly fresh. - The unagi (eel) was not worthy of the price charged. Mushy and flavourless. - The ama-ebi (sweet shrimp) was slimy - The otoro was OK but evidently not of a high quality grade Need I go on ? If you were to pay Defune-level prices in Japan, you could have some extraordinary sushi and sashimi. Unfortunately in Japan, the sushi and sashimi served at Defune would best be described as "average". If the prices were lower at Defune, I might have been more light-handed in my review. Unfortunately the prices are what they are, and so there's only really one word .... unforgivable.

Pricey but good. Service good. Sake brilliant. Atmosphere a bit quiet. Ideal for business.central, just off Baker Street and near Wallace Collection.
