REVIEW
HOT STONE Proudly noted as one of only eight restaurants in the UK to serve certified Kobe beef, Hot Stone Fitzrovia is one of the latest restaurants to open in Fitzrovia. Showcasing elegant modern Japanese cuisine, while also paying homage to traditional and regional cookery, Executive Chef Padam Raj Rai has created an exciting menu featuring refined dishes of sushi, sashimi and signature hot stone cookery. The unrivalled sushi and sashimi is made fresh to order at the dedicated sushi bar, from signature maki rolls of Japanese Yellow tail with mango salsa; Crunchy Hot Stone Roll with tempura prawns, to signature sashimi cuts of seared butterfish with truffle spicy ponzu; and A5 Japanese wagyu seared tataki and kizami ponzu. As well as the exquisite A5 Kobe beef, diners can also expect other fine ingredients such as freshly grated wasabi; Sanpuku, the
finest nori sourced from Japan's Ariake Sea; Koshihikari sushi rice; homemade tofu; and aged soy sauce. All dishes are made to order and it is fair to say the star of the show is Hot Stone’s signature Ishiyaki menu. Guests can try their hands hot-stone cookery with sear to taste premium cuts of Kobe and A5 Wagyu, black tiger prawns and the catch of the day on searing-hot stones crafted out of volcanic rock. Not only delicious, the innovative experience is great if you fancy dinner with a difference. What is more, every Monday, Chef Padam serves a 17 course omakase featuring wagyu to just six guests at a time in the Fitzrovia branch. The rest of the restaurant is closed for diners to enjoy an incredibly intimate and exclusive dining experience. Modern with great food, wine and service to match, Hot Stone is a welcome new addition to Fitzrovia's dining scene.
