The same owners who brought Islington’s Hot Stone to life also opened Fitzrovia’s RAI, which closed last year. However, the restaurant has reopened at a new site in Bloomsbury, just up the street. Executive Chef Padam Raj Rai, who has previously worked at Nobu, Sake no Hana, and Tsukiji, will once again oversee the cuisine. The restaurant will solely serve omakase, and the multi-course menu.

As for the look of the new RAI, the main focus seems to be the eight-person counter, but there are also five tables if you’re not a counter dining person.
