Sushi Show — Restaurant in London

Walking around Angel with my wife and daughter, we found a little new sushi spot, one of those traditional, family and authentic Japanese eight seats restaurants with more than a lovely staff, great plain atmosphere, really fresh ingredients and the most important thing, very good sushi.

Sometimes, less is more, and definitely this is one of those cases, a humble and unpretentious menu with a few twist, like the saba (mackerel) dynamite maki or the traditional (huge one) chicken teriyaki futomaki as well. The otoro nigiri (faty tuna sushi) and the uni (sea urchin) gunkan were amazing, the rice was at the proper temperature, size and seasoning, they were simple, perfect and fast.

They also have a little grocery market were you could buy some Japanese candies, sodas, snacks, sauces, ice creams, ingredients to cook at home, and pre -packed sushi (too cold for my taste, I must say) on a side of the store, so you may think twice before to go to London central to buy good nihon stuff. If you worried about the prices, take it easy, they 100% reasonable.

If you are a real Sushi Lover who loves to enjoy a good piece of sushi with a nice sake or cold Japanese beer, let me tell you… They don’t have alcohol license, so you must do what I did, drink a Ramune or a green tea!

We really enjoyed the experience, definitely we are going back, to be honest, I cannot wait to do it!

Domo arigato Sushi Show, and for the rest of you guys,...

Small sushi bar that has a mix of pre-made sets ready to grab and go, along with a fuller order-and-wait menu. Offers mainly takeaway but there are outside seats for about 8 people and some inside window ‘bar’ seats for a hardy few. The tiny shop houses the visible sushi chefs and a couple of order-takers and is always bustling. The shop also has a selection of Japanese condiments, noodles, drinks etc. The service is authentic - efficient, a bit brusque, and if you’ve ordered chef-made selections for takeaway you’re given a ticket and kicked out with a smile to wander and wait for 20 minutes. Once you’re used to the process it feels less brutal, so don’t be put off on your first visit! The sushi itself ranges from ok to very good. Their rice is always well done and the freshly/made items are amongst the freshest and best you’ll get from takeaway. Compared to an itsu or similar chain it exceeds them in flavour and the quality of the rice, but is more expensive. The 2-person platter is a good basis for a cheeky meal à deux, and their hand rolls are plump and tasty....

Wowwwww this sushi was delicious!!! The picture is very unflattering - due only to the lighting. It was all beautiful. I got the Matsu box and it was all so tasty. The chef also swapped the piece of eel out for salmon for me as I'm not a fan, which was very nice of him as it's a set menu!

The rice was perfectly seasoned, the fish was cut perfectly, nice and thick, one even scored. The perfect ratio of fish to rice. Very high quality fish. The rolls were tasty as well, very nice tempura and perfectly cut cucumbers. Also the wasabi wrapped carefully which I appreciated as someone who isn't a fan. The only thing is the uni wasn't very good - it had quite a bitter aftertaste. I'd recommend trying that in fancier restaurants.

Overall though, just a very high quality sushi restaurant- everyone working there spoke Japanese and the chef clearly knew what he was doing. The little store was great as well! I bought natto, which I haven't seen elsewhere and have wanted to try, as well as an interesting tea and rice seasoning. Super delicious and will...
