The Michelin-starred, Korean culinary master is bringing his culinary creativity, and blend of Japanese fare with Korean essence to London.

The Korean-American chef (and a former professional snowboarder) has built up a successful empire of restaurants from Las Vegas and Jakarta to Toronto and Bangkok with his self-described menu of modern Japanese food with Korean accents - derived from seasonal produce and artisanal ingredients. Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, located on Hanover Square, will be home to award-winning chef Akira Back’s first namesake all-day dining restaurant in the UK, along with his A Bar Lounge concept, Dosa - a chef's table experience and a rooftop bar overlooking Mayfair. 

Expect modern Japanese cuisine with a Korean-American twist - drawing inspiration from his Korean heritage and travels around the globe. Stand out dishes include duck prosciutto and filet tobanyaki to lamb chops and gambero prawns and Back's famous tuna pizza and wagyu tacos. Also rumoured to be planning an opening of Dosa, an innovative Michelin-starred Korean fine-dining restaurant from Seoul.
