The new Mayfair establishment, located at 11 Maddox Street, offers convenient access for diners, situated just a short walk from Oxford Circus station.
The restaurant features a two-floor layout with distinct dining experiences on each level. The upper floor houses a 16-seat intimate dining room surrounding a sushi counter with an open kitchen, while the downstairs area comprises a 28-seat space inspired by Japanese listening bars. Temaki has significantly expanded its capacity from the original location that accommodated 18 diners plus outdoor seating in Brixton.

Temaki Mayfair is scheduled to open in February 2026, though an exact date remains unannounced as of January. The restaurant will operate daily, serving lunch from 12pm to 3pm and dinner from 5pm to 10pm. A pre-theatre dining option will accommodate those attending nearby West End shows.
While maintaining its signature handroll sushi format, the menu has expanded considerably for the Mayfair location. New offerings include crispy rice topped with premium fish cuts, A4 wagyu sliders, and toro served in three preparations: akami, chutoro, and otoro. Led by Chef Endo Kazutoshi, the culinary team focuses on authentic Japanese techniques while incorporating contemporary elements.
The beverage program focuses primarily on sake, with wine selections, cocktails, and sake flights also available.
The expansion represents a significant milestone for the independent operator, reflecting its growing status in London’s competitive dining scene. A partnership with the Crown Estate facilitated the move, with Leasing Director Sarah McLaren noting the organization’s commitment to supporting independent hospitality businesses.
The new venue’s larger size compared to the original Brixton location demonstrates how the distinctive California-style approach to temaki has successfully carved out its niche in London’s diverse culinary landscape. Founder Alexander Dupee, a former financier from New York, was inspired by California’s handroll bars when creating the Temaki concept.
