A Michelin-Starred Chef’s £30 Lunch Set That’s Worth Every Penny 🍱
Just stumbled upon a gorgeous new Japanese restaurant 🚇📍 Kokin in Stratford, opened by the former head chef of Hannah (who also worked at London’s Michelin-starred Umu). Perfect timing after a workout at 🏋🏻♀️ Gymbox nearby! Their lunch set is only around £20+, and the menu looks absolutely steal-worthy! 😋😋 Food Quality: 4/5 The sashimi is fresh—so the baseline is already high. Plus, the creativity and presentation of each dish are top-notch, making this spot totally worth a visit! 👍🏻 Must-Try Dishes: 💐 Assorted Starter Platter | £35 This stunning appetizer platter is worth every penny just for the presentation alone. Every bite is fresh and delicious—no misses here! My personal fave? The unagi chawanmushi (eel steamed egg)—divine! 🐚 Scallop Tartare | £18.5 Super refreshing with cucumber, yuzu jelly, and salmon roe. And guess what? It’s not just scallops—there’s sweet shrimp in there too! Explosion of umami! 🍣 “Sushi Made by Me” | £35 They give you pre-mixed sashimi and rice, and you roll it yourself! So fun brushing on the sauce and adding wasabi. Pro tip: Add extra wasabi—it elevates the flavors! 🍱 Chirashi Don | £35 Similar vibes to the sushi set—fresh sashimi over rice (how can you go wrong?). Since it’s a lunch set, it also comes with miso soup and tempura. Such a steal! 📍📍 Address: Kokin Restaurant The Stratford, 20 International Way, London E20 1FD 💰💰 Price Range: £40-60 (lunch) #LondonFood #LondonLife #Foodie #LondonEats #HiddenGem #JapaneseCuisine #LondonSushi #MichelinEats #MichelinLondon #LondonDining
