Location: SUMI, Notting Hill, London

SUMI is a much-loved sushi and Japanese restaurant in the heart of Notting Hill, London. The little sister to Endo at the Rotunda, led by sushi master Endo Kazutoshi, SUMI brings Japanese culinary excellence into a warm, elegant, and welcoming neighbourhood setting.

SUMI is an extension of Endo Kazutoshi’s culinary journey, inspired by Japanese traditions, craftsmanship, and the people who shaped his career. Under the leadership of Executive Chef Christian Onia, the kitchen brings Endo’s signature style to life, while the front-of-house team delivers service that is thoughtful, confident, and deeply human.
