About
Tokyo Sukiyaki Tei holds a unique position in London's Japanese dining landscape as the city's sole dedicated sukiyaki and shabu-shabu specialist. Located in the Chelsea Cloisters building off Sloane Avenue, the restaurant imports certified Kobe beef alongside other premium wagyu cuts to replicate the authentic hot-pot dining experience of Japan. Diners cook thinly sliced meat in seasoned broth (sukiyaki) or dashi (shabu-shabu) at the table, a format central to Japanese winter dining culture. The restaurant also offers yakiniku and traditional Japanese accompaniments. The Japanese-operated kitchen maintains strict fidelity to Japanese techniques.
