Well-priced, tasty conveyor belt sushi
Hot food is ordered at the table, and includes some very subtly flavoured chicken teriyaki and lovely soft shell crab with plenty of meat encased in the lightest tempura batter - some of which also coats the well-seasoned chilli baby squid.
On the sushi-go-round there is futomaki wrapped in a sliver of courgette instead of nori, and filled with avocado and sundried tomato, a great piquant addition to the mix. Also good is the tuna sashimi, here sliced wafer-thin and with a peppery crust, and the beef carpaccio dotted with hot mustard and garnished with grated crispy taro, a type of tuber that is more commonly boiled or steamed. But most outstanding is the “surf and turf”, a roll with lobster and avocado, topped with a rasher of raw beef and a dab of hot wasabi, sprinkled with golden tempura crumbs.
It’s possible to eat substantially for around £30 a head; the tuna sashimi dish is £5.50, as is the surf and turf. There are other nice little touches: the open kitchen in the centre of the rotating belt, the taps for sparkling and still water on each table, and on the night we visit there is free prosecco with dinner. This is one brand expansion we can get behind.
