  Everything in London you need reservations !!!!
  
  The ambience in this place is beautiful and the food is delicious
  
  Moderately priced for upscale restaurant menu prices are in pounds
  
  The yuca ash is delicious
  Funky deserts I will see if I could upload video
  I did try a few deserts because I'm just sooooo sweet.
  
  Server was a women beyond great and I believe management got mad at her because she was so informative it made me feel uncomfortable when  MGR is telling a server to hurry up
  Only reason why I gave 4 stars

  My first time at Sushi Samba and the ambience is beautiful! The rooftop view is great but not as much as the dining area. But our waiter Louis was very kind and went over the menu with us. We had ordered two appetizers and 4 different rolls. Louis make excellent suggestions! And the cocktails we ordered were AMAZING!
  
  I was disappointed that they did not have the welcome to the rainforest available since they have a prefix with a new dessert and did not have the ingredients to make the other dessert.
  
  Overall...it was a pleasant experience.

  Great views and high quality sushi but ...
  
  ... kind of a strange vibe with a bar scene that reminded me of Vegas with a bunch of people pretending to be moneyed. Complete with a velvet rope and bouncer down on the sidewalk level, presumably to control the bar crowd at the terrace.
  
  The restaurant was more what you'd expect for the price, with very good, fresh sushi with a bit of a fusion twist, nicely presented. I enjoyed my meal and am glad I went, but the combination with the bar scene was a bit of a turn off.

  I had a wonderful experience dining here. We were staying at the W and the concierge recommended Sushi samba for dinner so they booked the reservation for us. I was in awe with the view. You can see all of London and we were given a complimentary glass of champagne for booking with our hotel. The service was quick and the food was phenomenal along with the drinks. My favorite though was the dessert it reminded me of my child hood. It was called the amazon if I'm not mistaken. If you ever ate the dessert "cup of dirt" it's what it reminded me of but executed to perfection. It was the perfect amount of chocolate and crunch. It's a MUST try! I had a great romantic dinner with my boyfriend and I'm definitely going back the next time I visit London.

  Lots to cover, little space. Itemized:
  
  Aesthetic - Amazing. Bamboo/wood accents contrast a black and white motif. The fusion theme is done in the most classy way possible, with only the music in the bar being the slightest bit tacky. The city view is obviously amazing, and makes the time fly. All plating is exceptional without being pretentious.
  
  Price - Suprisingly affordable. I mean, not the meal I ordered (hehe), but a fantastic app will cost £7 or so, and the mains are proportionate, as are the desserts.
  
  Drink - The drink menu is extensive, espescially if you like whisk[e]y, sake, or wine. Suprisingly short gin list, for London, but I didn't miss it.
  
  Green Bean Tempura - Unbelievable. I was worried the truffle aioli would overpower the other flavors. This was not the case. The dip was in perfect harmony with the veggies, the tempura was super crisp and perfectly seasoned, but exactly as thin as you would hope, considering how amazingly fresh the green beans were. I *must* recommend this app if you visit.
  
  Kobe Ishiyaki (120g) - Exceptional. There's plenty of description of Kobe online, so rather than repeat that, I'll confirm it. This meat has exactly the texture everyone describes. It's not as beefy as you'd expect, but that ends up being a good thing, considering how obviously rich it is. The yuzu cooking oil complements the natural flavors of the meat very well, and the orange "spicy sauce" has a super subtle umami flavor that augments the natural depth of the beef and pulls out subtleties you otherwise wouldn't notice. The brown "barbeque" sauce is delicious, but a mistake. It overwhelms the kobe. It would be great for a similar dish made of, say, Angus beef, but stifles the subtelty of kobe. If you are serious about beef (even if you just love a good burger), this is not an experience to be missed if it's within your means.
  
  Zen Garden - Genuinely indescribable. I will try, but it's hard to capture. This dessert, charmingly presented as a zen garden complete with wooden rake, includes two to three solid white chocolate "stones", two lychee-filled white chocolate truffle "stones", "sand" which is hard to describe as anything but bready vanilla pop rocks, tea biscuits, and yuzu-flavoured cream. It's sort of like a creme brulee, but rather than a brulee top, there's those vanilla pop rocks.
  
  I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience of dining at SUSHISAMBA, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to treat themself, impress a lover, or celebrate with their employees.
