The restaurant area of SUSHISAMBA London is just as impressive as the ROOM, and in many ways, even more immersive. Located on the 38th floor, it delivers a complete experience where architecture, atmosphere, food, and service come together seamlessly. From the moment you enter, the design immediately stands out, and the distinctive ceiling installation create a lively yet refined dining environment that feels truly unique to London. The food fully lives up to the setting. “Sushi Samba London” sushi plate is absolutely worth trying, especially for first-time visitors. The sushi was fresh, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. The eggplant gyoza was another highlight. Overall, the menu feels confident and offering a clear sense of quality without unnecessary complexity. Price-wise, the value is surprisingly reasonable for a venue of this level. For around £100 for two people, you can enjoy a full dining experience on the 38th floor with exceptional views and strong culinary execution. When you compare this to other places — especially in Scotland, where far more modest meals can easily reach £70 — the price-performance balance here feels more than fair. Reservations are essential and the experience is limited with 1.5 hours. One small but important detail: the restaurant primarily faces the north side, which means you don’t get a full city-centre sunset view. You won’t catch the golden hour in the same way as from some other angles, but even so, the panoramic cityscape remains impressive and adds real depth to the dining experience. A minor point worth mentioning — before arriving, we weren’t informed that there is a dedicated waiting lounge. Had we known, we could have comfortably waited there instead of being guided to SUSHISAMBA ROOM on the 39th floor. While the ROOM itself is a beautiful space, we didn’t necessarily need an extra drink before dinner. This didn’t feel forced to us in any way, but it did create a slight impression of an upsell opportunity. Gently, clearer communication here would improve the overall guest journey. Attention to detail throughout the venue is strong. The quality of glassware was exactly what you’d expect from a place like this — no compromises here. Cleanliness was excellent; the restrooms were spotless and well maintained. One very minor note: in a restaurant of this calibre, using Dyson hand dryers instead of high-quality paper towels feels a little out of place. A premium towel setup would better match the rest of the experience. In summary, SUSHISAMBA Restaurant London is a five-star destination that delivers on almost every level. Exceptional design, strong food quality, fair pricing for the experience offered, and a truly memorable setting high above the city. Absolutely recommended — just be sure to book ahead and plan your timing wisely.

We were a party of three and came around 19.00 on a Monday. We had “our eyes bigger than our stomach” by ordering two set menus of £110 per person and an additional main dish. In other words, we ordered way more than we could eat. Overall, all dishes were good though the ribeye could have been more tender. The salad was very fresh with succulent sesame dressing in the right amount. It had few fried vegetables together with the cucumbers, lettuce and avocado. The prawn salad was also good: a mix of hot and cold vegetables. The ribeye was cooked as ordered but disappointedly a bit hard. The fish was great and pan fried well. The sushi was great but surprisingly it came as last dishes before the ice cream. The rice was somewhat strange as it was sweet in a coconut flavor. The ice cream was light and not overly sweet. The service was just fine though I had to ask three times to get ice.

4.5/10 ⭐ SushiSamba is an absolute gem — a stunning restaurant perched on the 39th floor of the Heron Tower, offering panoramic views of the London skyline. The moment you step out of the lift, you’re met with a mix of luxury and calm sophistication, from the ambient lighting to the elegant decor that perfectly complements the dining experience. The food is exceptional. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavour — the sushi was fresh and beautifully presented, and the black cod was simply divine, rich, buttery, and perfectly cooked. Overall, the food was faultless, with each bite showing off the restaurant’s attention to detail and high standards. The atmosphere was classy yet relaxed, with a smart-casual dress code that fits the vibe perfectly. It’s a great spot for a special night out, a celebration, or even just to treat yourself to something memorable. The only letdown was the toilet facilities — just one cubicle, no hand towels, and a slight smell that could have been avoided with stronger cleaning products. For a venue of this calibre, that part could definitely be improved. That said, SushiSamba still delivers on flavour, experience, and views. A must-visit if you’re looking for incredible food paired with one of the best views in London. 🍣✨

This was my second visit, and it was just as amazing as the first! Located on the 38th floor, the views are incredible, and the whole atmosphere feels special. The service is top-notch — the staff are always so friendly and helpful, really making you feel looked after. The food is outstanding — the sea bass, the sushi, everything was absolutely on point. It’s one of those places where every dish tastes fresh and full of flavour. Definitely one of my favourite spots for a treat meal!

We come here for early dinner , I was super disappointed. We all went for the set menu, they took our orders. Never came back to take our drinks orders. We had to request someone to take the drinks orders. The set menu which was 90£ look likes it it had a range of different dish. All the portions are small. I don't believe it was enough for all six of us. Some came with like two bowls which is fine if the food was good. The only thing that really stood out was the lamb chops. They were okay. The prawns weren't that nice at all. The sushi was okay but I've had so much better sushi in angel for Half the price. If you're paying for the view then the view is amazing but the food not that great was expecting so much better.
