Sushi Chef - New Opening in London

Incipio curates beautiful spaces with vibrant atmospheres for great times. A vibrant, buzzing Japanese restaurant and rooftop cocktail bar, this dynamic venue channels the electric energy of Tokyo after dark. Inspired by the moody allure of Japanese Noir cinema, it blends shadowy intrigue with neon-lit vibrancy, offering a fresh and modern take on Japanese cuisine and culture in West London. The menu reimagines classic dishes with bold flavours and innovative techniques, while expertly crafted cocktails pay homage to Japan’s drinking culture. Whether indulging in exquisite sashimi or sipping highballs under the city skyline, guests are immersed in an atmosphere where tradition meets the avant-garde, and every night feels cinematic. Split across two stunning floors, with an exquisite Private Dining Room offering breathtaking views over West London, Wolves of Tokyo is a world of dynamic, immersive experiences.

We are searching for an inspiring leader to embody this vibrant brand, guiding their team on an unforgettable journey while crafting a service that is as thrilling as it is refined - elevated, electrifying, and endlessly engaging.
