Sushi Atelier sits on Great Portland Street in Fitzrovia, a short walk from Oxford Circus, Regent Street and Soho. The restaurant pairs an elegant sushi counter, where chefs prepare each piece in view of diners, with a separate lower dining room for larger groups and private events.
The signature offering is a one-hour, piece-by-piece omakase served at the counter Tuesday to Friday from 6pm, aimed at pre-theatre diners or those after a quick but considered dinner. The wider menu draws on Edomae technique with modern touches, including nigiri topped with ponzu jelly and rolls using yellowtail and truffle mayonnaise, alongside sashimi, carpaccios, dumplings and ceviche. Lunch service runs alongside dinner, and the restaurant is English friendly, with a difficulty level best described as moderate for diners new to omakase.
Booking is available by phone, through Resy, by WhatsApp (9am–5pm Monday to Friday) or by email. Walk-ins are welcome and staff will seat diners as quickly as possible, though booking ahead is recommended for counter seats and the omakase menu specifically. Parties of six or more may be asked for credit card details to hold the reservation, particularly on busy days.
The restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. Tuesday to Friday it runs 12pm–3pm for lunch and 5:30pm–10pm for last orders at dinner; Saturday it operates continuously from 12pm to 10pm last orders. Price tier sits at the upscale end of the scale (tier 3 of 4), and seating at the counter is timed, with each omakase service running around 60 minutes.
