    Spicy tuna (left) and chef special (right) and spring rolls
    Jasmine S.

    Best sushi in London. And great price too. Spring rolls came out nice and hot. We got the chef special roll and the spicy tuna and they were soooooo delicious and flavourful. Also fried rice is great with beautiful presentation. Also service was great! Waitress was so cute and funny and the waiter was HOT! Highly recommend

    Perfect sushi #colourblast

    I really like Mai sushi, especially for the quality of the sushi compared to the cost! If you're not sure what to order, choose lots of their fantastic nigiri sushi. Each and every time I have ordered nigiri here all the fish has been fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. - Unagi: I was sooo happy about their perfect unagi. It was served slightly warm with the perfect sweet soy sauce. - Amaebi: tasted super fresh. Yum! - Hottate: I LOVE raw scallops and these did not disappoint - Hamachi: You don't see yellow tail enough in London - but this was lovely too. - Saba: This was my least favourite, but it was still good! - Salmon: Salmon is always good in London, so this was good too. - We tried lobster maki-sushi as well which I liked (i loved their teeny wasabi balls too!) but it still didn't have quite as amazing flavour as the other nigiri. I am not sure about the hot dishes as I find it hard to order them when the sushi is this delicious!!

    May not look much from the outside but worth going in!

    Having lived in Kings Cross for nearly 15 years I had heard various rumours of there being a good sushi place nearby. About six months ago I undertook the mission and found it. I am glad that I did. This is the best sushi in the Kings X/Euston area by a mile. Indeed it stands up as being pretty good on a London wise basis. I have now been back 4 times. The decor is plain - this is neighbourhood restaurant stuff. However, the service is attentive and the money goes into the ingredients. The blackened cod is as good as my wife has had. The Nigiri and hand rolls are excellent, as are the tempura. My only danger is that I liked the stuff I had the first time so much that I haven't been more adventurous with the menu. However the quality looks (from others diners experiences) to carry to all their dishes. Why not 5 stars? The wine list is v short! Essentially there is a choice of about 5 wines in total, none of which are great. I think they should offer a corkage facility of £5 or £10. It is something I would definitely take advantage of. Over all though, if you haven't been, and are nearby, give it a shot! I don't think you will be disappointed.

    Sushi bento box. Selfish!!

    Popped in hoping for a quick sushi craving fix. And BOOM! Just like that it's my new obSUSHIon (get it get it? I did a sushi pun). Alaska cut roll is the bomb digy! Ordered Bento sushi box - I'm stuffed!! Seriously tho. Amongst the see of sushi, this place is amazing. Great service, food was served very quickly and it's a solid 9/10. I'd even choose it over Sticks'n'Sushi (another sushi place, but trice as pricey) Can't fault it. I'm a fan!

    :D

    Crunchy tuna and crunchy yellow tail roll are the best! :D

    Did I order dim sum in this sushi restaurant? Chinese teapot in a japanese restaurant.

    Service was extremely slow on the friday night. The waitress greeted me and said she'd be with me in a minute, then wanders off to the phone to take more take out orders for the next fifteen minutes. When I finally got a table from a different waiter, the order took forever to come and I mean upwards of half an hour. The place didnt even have a sushi bar, it's run by chinese people who serve the green tea in chinese style teapots. He only thin that can rescue this review would be the food quality.

    The food was good. It didn't "wow" me, and some things came a bit..."dry" but overall it was decent value for the price.

We ordered karaage, and gyoza as well as a selection of sushi (Four Meal Drive), which was a really nice sampler - we loved all of it! Also got the California roll, which was delish. Yuzu pale ale beer rounded out the meal. Overall 5 star experience - great service as well as delicious food and location that can't be beat if you are needing something in Covent Garden.

The husb and I spent the day window shopping and checking out all the London shopping spots and their beautiful holiday displays. Ending the night here felt like the perfect end to the day - especially since Covent Garden is so pretty during the holidays. This location is massive and absolutely gorgeous. The foliage over the bar is amazing, and the holiday décor blended seamlessly with their signature look. We were seated at a small table on the balcony overlooking the plaza, a prime people people watching spot. The food was fantastic, as expected. Imaginative sushi that blends beautifully with the robata dishes, all with gorgeous presentation. The cocktail menu is also excellent - creative, great flavors, and memorable. Love the artful coasters! Service at the bar was fantastic. Unfortunately, table service was... not. We waited probably 20 minutes just to place our order. Our server stopped by once mid-meal after noticing my jacket had fallen off my chair (which we used as an opportunity to ask for water)... and then never came back. We had to flag someone else down to get the check. Overall, the food, drinks, and ambiance were outstanding, but the lack of attentive table service keeps this from being a full five stars. Still a great spot - especially during the holidays - just be prepared to fight for attention from your server.

Ahem, I mean, she invited me over to share her dinner with her. They give 10% discounts to students, no wonder my friend loves this place (yes we are both well over the age of university but she is doing her PHD or something). But not only that, the sushi/sashimi quality is pretty good. I have absolutely no complaints there. I have not had mayonnaise in their sushi either (hurray! Not westernised sushi!) so I am one happy bunny and will not refuse food from here. The price seems decent albeit at the high end considering you are doing takeaways.

I wish I discovered this earlier. With so many new Wasabi chains opening up, it'd be so much better if they were You Me Sushi's instead. The rice bowls are made to order, so the chicken katsu stays nice and crispy, and everything just tastes fresher, unlike Wasabi. There also is no additional charge for soy sauce or wasabi. I even love the fact that You Me Sushi has more choices than Wasabi. I don't eat salmon or prawn, so I'm left with just veggie rolls at the other place. Here, I can get their specialty rolls that have no salmon or prawn in them. Affordable price, great staff, and great food. Even though this place isn't close to me, I'm definitely coming back.
