Shelley Sandzer has announced the leasing of a debut London site for Takumi, the authentic Japanese restaurant brand based in Birmingham, at 4-6 Old Compton Street, Soho
Takumi has taken the two-floor, 1,817 sq ft unit in Soho, and is located close to the junction of Old Compton Street and Charing Cross Road.
The brand has garnered a strong following from their existing outpost in Birmingham’s Chinatown, serving a diverse array of authentic Japanese favourite food and drinks.
With up to 50 covers across the ground floor, the restaurant is set to launch in September.
Alex Xu, co-owner of Takumi commented: “This is an historic site in the midst of one of London’s most exciting areas, and we are delighted to be bringing the Takumi dining experience to the capital for the first time. Japan has such a rich and diverse culinary heritage, and alongside the well-known sushi and grill dishes, we will be introducing some unfamiliar but authentic tastes and delicacies to London, which we know will work brilliantly in the city’s dining culture.”
Tony Levine, leisure agent at Shelley Sandzer, added: “Over the years Shelley Sandzer have played a pivotal role in bringing restaurants and concepts to London for the first time, and Takumi will be joining illustrious company. Old Compton Street provides a great opportunity for a restaurant, and we are certain that in time Takumi will not just attract visitors to the area, but also generate footfall of its own.”
