A modern, buzzing Fitzrovia counter serving high-end, flame-seared sushi at prices that undercut the Mayfair competition.
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
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'.
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'.
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'.
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'.
