Ridiculous prices for the quality. Passable food though.
Fantastic food, a little quiet however – only appropriate for the most intimate of occasions.
The prices!. Great food but take out a second mortgage thefoodjudge.com

Excellent sushi and sashimi. Defune is certainly one of the best sushi bars in London, but it’s certainly not perfect. I use to go there for many years when they were in their former premises in Blandford St when I lived nearby, and frequently took a box of their best sushi assortment home for the delectation of my wife, who is Japanese. The ‘new’ premises is light and spacious restaurant (at least upstairs) is ideal for lunch and is capable of serving with the freshest ingredients, expertly put together. Today I had tai (sea bream), akagi (a shellfish) and ika (squid) that was delicious – but I had them sashimi – ie without rice. Imagine my surprise when I ordered the uni (sea urchin) as sushi and found the rice soggy. it hadn’t been sufficiently well blown dry during mixing. A terrible mistake for a top sushi restaurant! And I also ordered a mixed ‘maki’ box to take home to my wife an she was bitterly disappointed. Not only was the rice soggy, but the maki weren’t seaweed wrapped and they mostly contained avocado! Avocado is a heresy that is only just tolerable here and is almost never served in Japan. This made the rice even soggier and the taste bland and uninteresting. There was no cucumber or daikon pickle at all! A travesty of a maki box and completely unworthy of Defune.
Very very ridiculusly expensive for what it is. Better off going to Nobu or Zuma, better and cheaper
