Teppanyaki at Sexy Fish

The teppanyaki section is among the most theatrical elements of the Sexy Fish menu. Diners at teppan tables watch their A5 Wagyu or whole lobster prepared live on the hot iron plate by dedicated teppan chefs.

  • A5 Wagyu (£85) — the definitive luxury teppanyaki experience; marbling score 10–12, served with garlic rice and ponzu
  • Lobster Teppanyaki (£75) — whole lobster halved and grilled with garlic butter; theatrical, fragrant, and outstanding
  • Sea Bass Teppanyaki (£42) — whole fish on the iron plate with a miso glaze; the lighter teppan option

Teppanyaki tables book separately — request one when making your reservation if this is the experience you want.

The Sexy Fish Interior — Why It Matters

Frank Gehry Bronze Fish Sculptures

Architect Frank Gehry designed the large bronze fish sculptures that hang above the main dining room — among the most recognizable pieces of restaurant interior design in London. The fish reference the marine theme without being literal, and their scale is genuinely impressive in person.

Damien Hirst Coral Bar

The bar area is tiled with Damien Hirst's hand-painted coral design — thousands of individual tiles creating a shimmering, organic effect. It is one of the most-photographed bar interiors in London and worth visiting even if you only stop for cocktails.

Lalique Glass Panels

The restaurant features custom Lalique glass panels — a French crystal house known for luxury decorative pieces. The panels add a crystalline, light-refracting quality to the space that changes throughout the evening as the lighting shifts.

The Sexy Fish Cocktail Bar

The bar at Sexy Fish operates independently of the dining room — you can arrive for cocktails without a dinner booking. The Lychee Martini (£18) is the house classic. The bar tends to fill early on weekends; arriving by 7 pm secures a spot.

About Sexy Fish

Sexy Fish opened in October 2015 in the former Barclays Bank building on Berkeley Square, Mayfair. Richard Caring — who also owns The Ivy, Annabel's, and Scott's — commissioned Martin Brudnizki to design the interior and brought in Frank Gehry and Damien Hirst to create bespoke artworks. The result was the most talked-about London restaurant opening in years.

The menu draws on Japanese and broader Asian seafood traditions — sashimi, maki, hot wok dishes, teppanyaki — without claiming strict culinary authenticity. It is aspirational cooking designed to match an aspirational room: visually stunning, technically accomplished, and reliably satisfying for the Mayfair crowd it attracts.

A decade after opening, Sexy Fish remains one of the hardest reservations in London on weekend evenings. Its combination of spectacular art, reliable food quality, and high-energy atmosphere has made it a durable institution rather than a faded novelty — a rare achievement for a celebrity-designer restaurant.

What is the best dish at Sexy Fish?
The Miso Black Cod (£38) is the house signature and the most-ordered dish — a Nobu-inspired miso-marinated black cod that is slow-cooked until silky and caramelized. The Wok-Fried Lobster (£65) and A5 Wagyu Teppanyaki (£85) are the two most spectacular dishes for a special occasion. For the raw bar, the Hamachi Sashimi (£22) is the refined choice.
