Food: 8/10- The food was tasty, well presented and overall very enjoyable. A clear standout was the crispy prawns, and the papas fritas were a nice surprise, I recommend giving them a shot!

Service: 7/10- The staff were endearing and attentive, but the quality saw a steep drop after we received our food. It was hard to get refills on water and took a while to get the check. Overall, my only complaint was the sheer and utter lack of coursing within the meal. All our food came out at the exact same time, making the table crowded and the eating experience a bit hectic. 

Ambiance: 9/10- The ambiance was incredible, and the view was absolutely breathtaking, I recommend going for a table near the window, as you are afforded a gorgeous view of London from 30+ stories up in the sky. The music fit the vibe, and the restaurant was bustling with character and laughter from all sides

Food is good, service is poor.  I would expect way better service for the price. It was my wife's bday and the service disappointed.

Had an amazing experience, food came
Out pretty fast with the sushi bar presentation in the middle, drinks were delicious. Was very happy we came. Service was ok, I feel like it could have been better. But we will see when I come back again.

What a surprise! We were NOT expecting this place to look like this! We arrived right when they started lunch service and we were immediately seated. 

The food and service is pretty good! Even though it is a chain (internationally), the quality of the food is fresh!

We were excited by the look of the menu and the restaurant. Sadly, the cover of this book didn't match the contents. 

We were on the last night of a 3 week vacation and decided to have, what we though would be, a great last dining experience for the trip. 

The place is very reminiscent of CATCH LA, complete with the uber pretentious attitude, which I am not opposed to, but you'd better deliver.  

We perused the sake menu and made a bottle choice only to be told they no longer carry it.  Still on the menu, but whatever. I asked for a suggestion at the same price point (€100), and he suggested 2 options in the €200 range.  We decided to just have cocktails. 

The server was not extremely acclimated to the menu and didn't know basic cocktails (manhattan, old fashioned).  We ordered the "Premium Taste of Samba" and expected something special. They asked about allergies and preferences,, we said no tomatoes and no olives. Of course, since I'm metioning that, it means they completely ignored it. Bad

Pacing was ridiculously fast, and we had 3 courses on the table at once, so we requested they slow it down. They did, but I could see that the chef was not pleased (we sat right in front of his station so I could see him the entire time).  He also spent a ton of time looking at stuff on his phone, which is pretty gross.  

Food was pretty pedestrian for the expectations. Almost nothing was special, even though it sounded like it should be.  The Toro Tradito and the Rainforest dessert were exceptional.  The latter was beautifully conceived and was delicious. 

Complete letdown was the "Premium" Nigiri, which was salmon and tuna.  NOT Otoro, but just tuna. Huh?  

The filet wasn't a great cut of meat and was pretty tough and undercooked. AND had tomatoes on the plate. 

We would NOT return, but I wouldn't say to steer clear, but I suggest you just order a la carte.

Not friendly staff, we had reservations and they saw our kids and did not seat us.  Haven't tried the food but can be certain that the vibe did not pass

Walked by this restaurant and decided to eat here. I got a table for one pretty easily with no wait. Had to walk up stairs, but they had an elevator if you need it. Sat by the window and it had decent views. They were quick to deliver my order. Also ordered salmon nigiri (not pictured). Everything tasted really good. Paid like 60 pounds. I'm allergic to shellfish but they had a lot I could still eat.

Sushi Samba Covent Garden - Never again.
Went at 7pm today and asked for two extra seats for our kids, waitress flatly said "nothing we can do" and didn't even bother to check despite plenty of empty tables upstairs. Zero effort, zero courtesy.

We decided to walk a few meters to Sticks'n'Sushi and it was the complete opposite: friendly, helpful staff who found us a table even when fully booked. That's how you treat customers. Sushi Samba lost us for good.

Walked 20 min to this restaurant because open table had slots available every 15 minutes. Upon arrival we were told they don't have anything available yet online reservations still showed availability. Terrible customer service and management!!

First time at a SUSHISAMBA. This location at Covent Garden was lovely. Gorgeous decor and a lively atmosphere. Made a reservation (same-day) to be safe. Service was a little hit or miss but did improve over time. Highlights were without a doubt the Covent Garden roll (no seaweed, perfect for sushi skeptics like me) and the Samba Salad with its incredibly good mango dressing and beautifully shredded veggies. Worth a visit, especially for these standout dishes.
