Ordering Strategy

Sit at the counter to watch the 'blowtorch theatrics.' The lunch and dinner sets offer the best value for money, but don't skip the creative carpaccios.

What to order

Safe first

12 Pieces of Omakase Nigiri

Critics describe this as '£33 well spent', featuring 'unctuous scallop' and 'delicately fatty chutoro' on rice that is 'still just warm' and 'lightly vinegared'.

Hungry

Chirashi Sushi

A substantial alternative to standard sets, featuring a bowl of fluffy rice topped with 'firm cuttlefish, quivering amaebi shrimp, buttery salmon and gently sweet butterfish'.

Wildcard

Seared Tuna with Chilli Ponzu Jelly

An 'adult' dish featuring tuna under a jelly the 'colour of polished amber' that is so 'strident' one critic joked about wanting to 'get in a bath of this with a friend'.

Wildcard

Black Sesame Panna Cotta

A standout dessert where 'no mouthful was ever dull' thanks to the contrast between 'wispy' cream and 'nutty, slightly tangy sesame paste'.

What to skip

Skip
Standard Sushi SetsWhile seemingly a good deal at £20, critics found the quality of the fish in the salmon and akami tuna sets to be 'ultimately unremarkable' compared to the chirashi.

Good to know

Run by the team behind the upscale Chisou, this spot bridges the gap between grab-and-go and ultra-expensive omakase. Booking is recommended as the counter fills up fast.
