Without gushing too much, Naomi's food is lip-smackingly delicious and beautifully presented....I'm loathe to single out anything from Naomi's magnificent repertoire, because I've never tasted anything less than smashing from anything she's prepared. If my arm (should that be tongue?!) was twisted then I would have to say that her Pork with Aubergines, her Octopus in Soy Sauce and her Herb Strewn Marinated Carpaccio, among many others, remain as particularly strong memories. Why is her food so good? It comes down to a mixture of the familiar and the surprising, and wonderful flavours that are big on the yum factor and - like Oliver Twist - send you back for more. I love her cooking...yes I'm a fan.

Naomi hosts legendary dinner parties - good food, good wine with a great warmth and love. Fantastic selections of bowls and plates filled to the brim with the most delicious dishes with influences from all over the world. The courses begin...nibbles, starters, in-betweens and mains and yummy desserts. Our favorites include her salad with Garlic Leaves Salad, Pork Slowly Cooked with Soy Sauce and her amazing BBQs. Oh - and last but definitely not least, Naomi's table settings are worthy of World of Interiors.

Congratulations happy eaters. You have arrived at the gates of an authentically outstanding gastronomic experience. For many years I have been eating NAOMI ONO Fine Dining's dishes with a relish bordering on the extreme and with the sybaritic senses cranked up to levels possibly higher than are strictly advisable. Proceed with ravenous anticipation and prepare to be enthralled.

Naomi's ability to produce excellent cuisine every single time and create the variety she does is quite remarkable. I have had the pleasure of tasting her cooking on at least half a dozen occasions and she always over-delivers on taste and quality. Her Pavlova is absolutely the best I have ever tasted. Highly recommended.
Ian Fallman, Business Consultant, Kensington, London
Her passion is obvious, her home is a temple to food, being more kitchen than living space. So being invited to 'dinner' at Naomi's is an understatement, food meticulously prepared to the smallest detail, - with a twinkle in her eye, she will guide your taste buds on a joyful exploration of newly charted flavours and aromas.

Playful, inventive and generous. NAOMI ONO Fine Dining's cooking reflects her character…
Ben Wright, Composer, Westbourne Grove, London
I have had the privilege of eating NAOMI ONO Fine Dining's food on a number of occasions, both at formal dinner parties and informal get-togethers. I have always been extremely impressed by the range and diversity of her dishes and her ability to combine traditional Japanese cuisine with fare, like sushi and udon, that Londoners are more familiar with. It goes without out saying that all of it tastes delicious.

I have attended Naomi's events several times and although each time the food is outstanding , the most memorable was a barbecue on a Sunday afternoon. The dishes just kept coming - all from a totally different inspiration. We had several seafood dishes marinated and grilled on the barbecue, 3 interpretations of the classic Italian carpaccio (I remembered trying but could not decide which one was best!), and not to forget a memorable sea bass cooked in the oven (with herbs, which was interesting as it did not overwhelm the flavour of the fish). She embraces different cuisines (often South East Asian and European) adding her particular twist, which makes her style rather unique. It is always distinct, loyal to the ingredients (picked for their quality) and finally, always unexpected.
