Japanese/Chinese/fusion restaurants - Central London - "Wow!"-esque

Any recommendations for restaurants that would impress? Maybe something a bit different?

Not Sushi Samba though please and in Central London.

Thanks!

EDIT: Think Mayfair style too so a bit classy.

Hakkasan Hakkasan - Best Cantonese Restaurants in London

Hakkasan Mayfair was awarded a Michelin star less within a year of opening. Enjoy the restaurant's modern Cantonese cuisine, world-class mixology and dramatic design.

Or failing that sack it all off and go to Dumplings Legend on Gerrard Street. Classiest dumplings on the planet right there.

This was the one I was thinking..pricey but meant to be amazing.

@Raymond Lin - Been to Nobu in Shoreditch?

Specifically the 'Taste of Nobu' menu...they do an offer for a hotel room plus the tasting meal for 2.

EDIT: Just realised this sounds like I am inviting you.

Feel like I am rehashing what's already said but I rate Nobu and Hakkasan higher than Huntong.

Adding The Ivy Asia to the list, it is also nice.

Ah ha I just saw Hutong so was wondering about that. Good to know.

Just added photos to 'Now Eating' thread of Nobu.

Preview wrong but gets to the right bit.

That looks like the M&S one Aldi mate. Added a bit of English mustard. It was lovely :) https://groceries.aldi.co.uk/en-GB/p-inspired-cuisine-chicken-filled-yorkshire-pudding-400g/4088600210766
