I recently visited SUSHISAMBA London and it was such a fun experience. The restaurant has a really…read moreenergetic atmosphere and the design is beautiful -- it definitely feels like a place for a special dinner or a night out with friends. The concept of mixing Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian flavors is really unique and you can see it throughout the menu. The sushi was very fresh and well presented, and the small plates were great for sharing. I especially enjoyed the creative combinations and the attention to detail in the dishes. The cocktails were also excellent and very well balanced. Service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed. Overall, it's definitely on the pricier side, but the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the overall experience make it worth it for a special occasion or a fun night out.

Decent lunch takeaway at a fair price. I ordered the crispy chicken noodle salad today for around…read more£8 and thought it was fine but nothing special. Flavours were a bit muted and the portion of chicken was much smaller than the pictures made it seem. The lines were long for lunch but we had ordered in advance and so it was ready when we arrived. Little things annoyed me like the lack of customisation in the bowls and the fact that I specifically requested chopsticks that they didn't provide. The bowl didn't have much in it besides noodles and a very small portion of chicken. I think the price was fine for what it was but I don't think I'd order again.

Its tall ceilings, long drapes and brightly lit bar provide an impressive backdrop for an aperitif before dinner, or for the casual dining on cushioned seats or high tables on the ground floor. They also offer a more formal dining experience on the second floor. I remember their drink menu being fairly extensive, with the cocktails often containing many sorts of Asian ingredients such as lychee, ginger or chilli. As probably as inappropriate as it was, I decided to order cocktail from their decent selection of non-alcoholic ones named 'Bankrupt', full of berries and refreshing ingredients. It was a reasonably sized drink for the £6 they charged, particularly when I thought a place like this would serve everything in small glasses. I asked for the menu and I'm lead to believe they have a different menu downstairs than they do upstairs. I had a mandate to eat noodles that day, so I ended up with one of my favourites, Singapore Noodles. Had I more of an appetite, I would have been tempted by their decent selection of side dishes or appetisers. I have to admit their noodles weren't the best that I've had - with maybe not enough curry powder or chilli for my liking, even after asking for some more on the side. I was impressed they used some good quality ingredients for the noodle dish though, with three or four large king prawns as well as fresh vegetables (most other places would use the smaller prawns). At £8 for the dish, it's not the best valued Singapore Noodles I've had, but it's also not the most offensive I've had. I'd probably return to this place, if anything just to hang out at their bar. I don't think their menu is significantly different for me to want to visit them specifically for their food, but the ambiance downstairs and the bar is definitely worth it.

The vibe was great, a little chaotic in a fun way, and the staff was genuinely kind and fun to be around. Honestly, this place is a must try.

They could up the spice levels too. Everything was flavoursome but could have used more heat. A few minor tweaks could make the dining experience better. The tables are narrow which makes for a crowded dining experience when you're sharing dishes and the mostly stool seating is uncomfortable. The beer comes in cold glasses (great!) but the condensation it leaves on the tables means a watery mess as they don't have coasters. The burning incense also seems unnecessary and doesn't go well with an eating experience. Overall, a lovely restaurant with tasty food.

First let me start by saying this place was so hard to find the entrance to. Between the…read moreconstruction and many many locked doors, I finally found the 1st floor entrance. Once I got there the food did not disappoint. The dim sum options were plentiful and delicious. However my fav dishes of the night, the crispy duck (life changing).

Definitely worth a visit but bake in extra time to find this front door.

I never had an empty glass. Service was so incredibly attentive without ever feeling overbearing. They brought out starters promptly. Edamame was really great. Loved the shishito peppers as well. I didn't even touch the miso soup lol. Saving my appetite for the main event! The sushi buffet was truly excellent. The sashimi was impeccable quality. One very minor complaint is that the plates were very small (not a huge deal, I just felt bad for the staff for having to clear plates often as I could only fit like four pieces of sushi on one, lol). I thought the range of food was great. The salads were really nice as well. There was a very simply dressed spinach salad with a subtle truffle flavour that I loved. The choice of mains is really just a bonus. I opted for the black cod (of course) which (of course) was fantastic. Honestly the buffet was so good I would have been just as happy without it but who can complain! Minor complaint is that the dessert selection was just okay. Honestly given how phenomenal everything else was I was a bit surprised they didn't elevate the desserts as much. I had some decent churros with a truly unbelievable caramel sauce and tried a brownie that I didn't love. I didn't come for the desserts and it still hit the spot, but they could show them some love! Overall well worth the price. Will return.

BE WARNED: I dined here alone a couple weeks ago and asked for Omakase. The server did not know…read morewhat this was and put in about 400GBP of food items (It was a couple small plates, a few full size appetizers and a few full size main courses including about 8 ounces of very expensive Wagyu that came out last and was wasted). The food all came out quite quick before I could tell them to stop. I was able to eat the first few things (about 60GBP of value of food). The restaurant admitted this was a training fail on their part (I have the back and forth emails) but still charged me for a full Omakase price even though I never had an Omakase experience! It's a real shame as Nobu has been one of my favorite restaurants. To charge the customer for their own self admitted complete failure is a DISGRACE!!

I was a bit skeptical of their paper container and ordering system, but once I had a sip on that soup... I was in noodle heaven! I've never been to Thailand to compare if this was an authentic Thai food, but I saw some Thai girls eating there and also heard the employees speaking Thai, so I'm pretty sure they are as authentic as I could get in London. I had too many fake Asian-fusion food in London so I was glad to know. I went back there again a few days later but they were closed for Easter holiday. I was so bummed. I'm definitely going back there again when I'm in London again!! Please stay there forever.

Hole in the wall Authentic as hell Cheap and friendly Specialist in a few key dishes Delicious and spicy too Just a few chairs and a table At lunch they do take out lunches of authentic Thai curries on rice and sell Thai snacks and sodas off the shelf. Think amazing green, red and massaman curries for a few pounds on your lunch break from the city. After 3pm the order of the day is BOAT NOODLES. Previously impossible to get this done right in London and now available cheap and easily here and just so perfect too. Their normal boat noddles are simply amazing but for a truly authentic version (if you know what I mean) you'll have to ask hard. Send me a message if you're confused and I'll explain off the record. It's not really necessary as its already better than any Thai noodle soup elsewhere in town without the extra unadvertised ingredients. In fact it's the one thing that can surpass pho and it surpasses the best kingsland road pho easily. You've been told!
