KongBarNelWe arrived just a little bit early so we were first asked to wait in front of the ash room while the chefs prepared for the very last bit. Then, we got invited to the Hinoki room right on the reservation time. The dinning room definitely brought us back to Japan. Feel warm and familiar. There was a little sealed letter set in front of us. I found it such a lovely setup. Then, we ordered different Sake for that night Omakase. The price was quite high for a glass.

KongBarNelThis place may look like an art gallery at first, but behind the curtain is one of the best Michelin-starred dining experiences I’ve ever had. I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday here with a close friend, and everything — from the atmosphere to the service — was exceptional.

KongBarNelFriendly, professional, and relaxed in the best way. The staff struck that balance of being attentive without hovering. They were happy to chat about the dishes and make drink recommendations, which made the whole experience feel personal.Warm, modern, and just a little moody. The minimalist decor and soft lighting make it feel cozy but still sleek. Great for a date, a chill dinner with friends, or just treating yourself to something nice.

KongBarNelService was friendly and personal, somehow both low-key and refined at the same time. I was dining alone, which sometimes can feel odd, but the staff made me feel very comfortable and welcome, with just the right balance of friendly, casual interaction and leaving me to enjoy/absorb the dishes. They were incredibly skilled at this, it must be a cultivated vibe, and it’s a good one. The playlist was great -I wasn’t expecting Joy Division and the Cure, but somehow it was perfect. The volume was correct and unlike some places, I could hear all the descriptions easily.

KongBarNelHad a great evening at One White Street. The service was outstanding, and they gave me a perfect seat at the bar with a great view of the chefs in action. I started with a salad that was incredibly fresh and flavorful, full of green beans, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers sourced from the restaurant’s own farm. For my main, I went with their much-hyped burger since it was my first time here—and wow, did it deliver. So beefy and juicy, and the Stilton just took it over the top. Definitely one of the best burgers in the city. Finished with the fig tart, which was an outstanding way to end the meal. Overall, a fantastic dinner. I’ll definitely be back.
