In the buzzy shopping district of Notting Hill, Sumi offers a refined yet approachable Japanese dining experience. As the sister restaurant to Endo Kazutoshi's Michelin-starred Endo at the Rotunda, Sumi embodies a more relaxed ethos while maintaining exceptional culinary standards. The menu, curated by Head Chef Yasuda Akinori (formerly of Zuma), showcases a harmonious blend of traditional sushi, sashimi, and robata-grilled dishes. Signature offerings include the delicate Sumi ceviche, rich A4 Wagyu striploin with yuzu onion sauce, and an array of temaki hand rolls like the scallop 'Hotate' adorned with shiso flowers. The interior exudes minimalist elegance, featuring pale wood panelling and a sushi counter ideal for solo diners or intimate gatherings. Critically acclaimed by the MICHELIN Guide, Sumi is celebrated for its lively atmosphere, driven by a young crowd and an impressive cocktail selection. The concise menu emphasises quality over quantity, with robata dishes standing out as particular highlights. Hot Dinners praises the restaurant's expansion and refurbishment, noting the addition of new dishes like the Seafood Gohan and Kombu-aged ribeye. Open for lunch Tuesday to Sunday and dinner daily, Sumi has established itself as a Notting Hill hotspot, offering casual fine dining in a chef-led kitchen
