The Azuki Room can host intimate dinners, corporate evenings, launches and parties for up to 70 guests, in two spaces that can be hired privately. It is a halal Japanese izakaya in Rolls Passage, off 36 Chancery Lane, in the legal district of London.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists corporate evenings and launches among the events it hosts. It does not offer meeting rooms or conference equipment, so it fits a client dinner, a team celebration after work or an evening reception rather than a daytime seminar. The downstairs bar is hired exclusively for private events and holds a late licence, which suits evening programs that run past the usual closing time of the restaurant.
Weddings and receptions
The site does not present weddings. It names Christmas parties, birthdays and celebrations as typical uses for its private spaces. Groups planning a rehearsal dinner or a small private celebration can ask the team about the main restaurant.
Rooms and capacities
The main restaurant takes up to 30 guests seated, with extra standing space. It has a live sushi bar and a charcoal grill, and the venue recommends it for intimate dinners, celebrations and curated tasting events. The Pineapple Club is a hidden cocktail bar below the restaurant. The whole room takes up to 70 guests standing or 30 seated. Food is sent down from the kitchen upstairs, and the room is hired exclusively for private events.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms on site. Chancery Lane is central, and hotels in Holborn, Covent Garden and the City are within a short distance.
Catering
Everything served is halal, and the dishes are prepared with halal, non-alcoholic ingredients. The kitchen cooks yakitori, robatayaki and sushi over charcoal. For events, the venue offers four shared set menus, one of them vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian, as well as a canape selection of four or five items chosen across light, chicken, seafood and vegetable options. Bespoke menus can be created for an event. Prices are on the downloadable menu PDF.
History and setting
The Azuki Room is designed as a hidden dining room. It sits at the end of a passage off Chancery Lane, with lounge seating, a chesterfield, a mirror wall and a marble bar. The restaurant describes itself as a 30-cover izakaya built around charcoal, with sushi, yakitori and robata, and ramen at lunchtime.
Getting there
The venue is at Rolls Passage, off 36 Chancery Lane, London EC4A 1HL. Chancery Lane station is nearby. The restaurant is open Monday to Saturday and closed on Sunday, so private events on that day should be discussed with the team.
