21 Sushi in Winchester

Exceptional sushi - the best that I have had in the UK. Personal favourites are the white tuna jalepeno roll and the ikra nigiri.

The most amazing sushi we've ever tasted. So many menu choices it was difficult to decide what to have but we got some guidance from the fabulous serving staff and were delighted with our selection. Highly recommend.

Been here twice in a month! A hidden gem in Winchester! Really good fusion sushi rolls -dark dragon rolls and crispy crab rolls! The beef tadaki and salmon aburi were fantastic! Great service too! Definitely will be back!!! I have tried all the Japanese places in Winchester and would definitely recommend this!

As locals, we visited here for lunch in August 2024. Small and simple layout; the front house was accomodating. The menu is extensive, but portions are relatively small. Most disappointingly, they charge £2 for gluten free soy sauce; that was only a small amount in a dipping bowl. I've experienced better value elsewhere; and very recently, so unlikely to return in the future.

Amazing food, we even ordered more once we got the original bill. The staff are very friendly and was a decent price for the meal.

Excellent food and good value too. Tacos are always amazing, beef tataki v. nice. And you can bring your own wine of Sake for a small corkage fee.

I went there to celebrated my birthday with my friends, we absolutely loved this place! For me is the best sushi place in Winchester. We had a few dishes and they all were so tasty and very unique! The flovours and quality of ingredients are excellent. Wow definitely we will back.

We have eaten in at 21 Sushi several times as it’s my daughters fave place to eat! The food and service is always exceptional! We chose to have a takeaway tonight instead as we had just returned from holiday and the takeaway was of restaurant standard! Great delivery time too! Food was A*********

Sushi here is outstanding, a broad menu and some really lovely sushi. It is a bit pricey but that’s sushi for you! We usually take away and it travels well. We have eaten in , it’s a very casual/ informal dining room. Got a bit stuffy as it’s quite small and opens up into the kitchen but these are minor issues. Highly recommend!

I come to picup the order, the man for kichen is saw to whait 20 audside is poor service, the order is need to be ready before coming to colect.

Fabulous food, extensive menu, and good value too. £10 corkage also a plus. The staff were very welcoming. Could not fault a thing. Superb.

Absolutely unbelievable culinary experience!!!! This family run restaurant is out of this world. The cuisine is second to none....and by far the best Japanese restaurant in southern England .........and provides a serious challenge to the top Japanese restaurants in London .... my wife and I have dined in most of the top rated ones in London and nothing comes close to 21 Sushi in Winchester. Without doubt, you have to order the salmon belly nigiri (wow!!!) and the soft shell crab tacos. Their house sake is incredible and costs £7.50 for 500ml!. I lived in NYC and LA for close to 30 years and have been to multiple Japanese restaurants in the US most of which are fantastic, but this little venue place in Winchester is more than a serious contender. The owner, Johnny, is so personable and puts his own unique twist on Japanese cuisine..........Trust me, you will absolutely love the dishes (all of which are amazing)......Thank you Johnny and staff for your incredible food journey!!! ....All the best Greg>

Really cute place and busy, which added to the atmosphere. Great menu choice. There were 3 of us in our group and we all ordered different things - everything looked and tasted exceptional. Very fresh flavours. Can’t wait to go back!

Having had great sushi in Japan and good sushi in the USA, but never better than ‘ok’ sushi in the UK, we were delighted to discover this gem locally. Truly excellent. We will be returning. Frequently.

We loved everything about our evening here. Friendly staff, byo with £10 corkage (perfect for people who are particular about their wines), absolutely fantastic, delicious, freshly made sushi, tempura, gyoza. The chef came and had a chat with us as we were the first to order his new dish. It was so good, we ordered a second portion! It was all so good, we can’t wait to get back!

Such a wonderful evening here! A real newly opened hidden gem. The lady serving us was attentive but not over bearing, coming from a 5* hospitality background myself I honestly couldn't fault a single moment of service from her. Now the food, by god the food was outstanding! Beautifully presented, superb portion sizes, incredible flavours. We both commented on how we loved the slightly thicker cut sashimi and how the chef didn't skimp out in filling the sushi rolls to perfection. Price wise was just right I believe, we had a starter each, around 5 dishes split between us and a bottle of sake totalling around £140 for two of us. On another occasion (March 2023) we decided to order a collection take out from here as we just moved into our new home. We had mentioned this and when we got back and unpacked the food we found the sweetest hand written note congratulating us and also a couple of complimentary desserts. Just above and beyond! Certainly our place for special occasions <3 See you in a couple of months!

Subtle upon this resturant by mistake and very pleased we did. Delicious food with perfect hospitality from the staff. We'll worth a visit if you are in the area and fancy lovely sushi

Cute little place ! The food was very good and well presented ! We will definitely coming back soon .

.... but I have been converted! 21 Sushi is a lovely intimate restaurant; the food was so flavoursome and beautifully presented. Johnny, the chef, is amazing and will recommend dishes and adapt them for personal taste. Lots of choice especially if you're not a fan of raw fish. Service was attentive and polite. You must try it..

Wow, what a meal. we tried a mixture of different dishes and loved every single one. You must try the beef tataki, tacos and an absolute must is the melt in your mouth sexy dragon roll it was soooo good. Service was brilliant, very attentive, quick and friendly.

Came for my sons 7th birthday. We all love sushi so we're keen to try out a new place. Food was exceptional! It's a small place so recommend booking.

Great service & sushi. They now have an alcohol license, but you can take your own wine & pay corkage. Best sushi in Winchester & I’ll be going back to try their Donburi!

Came here tonight, myself and my partner are avid sushi fans, and bloody hell the sushi is out of this world. I thought I’d experienced great sushi, but this was insane. Thank you so much for having us, it’s a great hidden gem run by...

Thrilled to have this restaurant in Winchester. Every dish we have tried so far (and that includes many dishes!) has been delicious and beautifully presented. The restaurant is not licensed but you can take your own alcohol (no corkage fee) so that keeps the overall...

Our family and friends absolutely love going there! The restaurant opened 6 months ago, however it is still an undiscovered gem. Clearly the best sushi restaurant in Winchester and allegedly in Hampshire, considering value for money! Their menu includes so much more than just sushi!...The...

We had the set menu for two, multiplied for six of us and it was so well thought-out and delicious - not all sushi, something for everyone and such a wonderful personal touch from the people there who really looked after us. The food is...

Last night I was introduced to sushi and sashimi and the lightest tempura, all beautifully presented and equally delicious. My favourites were the tempura prawns and also the Peking Duck rolls. I was so impressed by the food and the wonderful staff who were so...

Me and my husband went to this lovely restaurant in Winchester( at the end the high street, we love the location. We were welcome by the manager lady who made us feel like family as soon as we walked in. We used to live in...

We were looking for a sushi restaurant and decided to give 21 Sushi a try after reading the 5-star reviews online. It was also open on a Monday, unlike others in the area. 21 Sushi did not disappoint and lived up to the reviews. The...

I have been a few times to 21 Sushi, such a hidden gem and my absolute favourite restaurant. The sushi is mind blowing, so delicious and fresh! The menu has some amazing dishes and the sushi chef there is incredible. I would definitely recommend a...

Significantly better than just about any Japanese restaurant that is this style/size than I've ever been to, good service, good personality of server. Highly, highly recommend.

We were too late to eat in, but still received attentive and efficient service when we ordered takeaway instead. And the food was gorgeous. Freshly prepped, delicious, and a beacon of quality in Winchester. Thank you, 21 Sushi.

Highly recommend visiting. The menu has some typical items on it but also creative and more unusual things. If you like Japanese style food and enjoy sushi you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend the surf and turf roll, and try picking some of...

I cannot rate this restaurant highly enough! Without doubt the best Sushi I’ve ever eaten, some really different dishes with the most incredible flavours. The staff were all so friendly and helpful in explaining the different dishes. Can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely delicious food, with incredibly helpful and kind staff. Had a lovely evening here tonight, and can’t wait to come back! Would definitely recommend trying their sushi tacos!

Would highly recommend this latest addition to WInchester's Far Eastern dining options. The menu is diverse and demonstrates much creativity on a Japanese theme. My boys thought the teriyaki chicken roll was the best sushi they've ever had (even if non-traditional). Green Dragon roll was...

Such a beautiful meal! As one of a number of Winchester Japanese places that we've tried, we had average expectations but we're blown away. All the dishes were well balanced with tang, crunch and depth of flavour including their sushi taco (which we kind of...

A lovely, relaxed restaurant with fantastic food and incredibly friendly and efficient staff. Every single dish was perfect.

This place is fantastic. Everything was so fresh and tasty. Sexy dragon roll was the bomb. Service was spot on

The sushi was delicious, well made and fresh. The sushi rice was perfectly cooked and the fillings generous. The staff were extremely kind and efficient. The location was ideal and the interior personal and calm with only five tables. Such a wonderful new find, we...

Great sushi, lovely staff who were accompanying and always on hand to open BYOB bottles and answer questions. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious fresh sushi in small, friendly restaurant. The taco sushi alone was worth the visit. Every dish we had was superb and the bill was significantly less than anticipated. It’s BYO which helped!

Lovely people, sushi genuinely mind blowing. So good. No one seems to know about this place, it’s pretty new, I want them to do well but also love having them to myself.

Absolutely lovely restaurant. Some of the best sushi we've had in a very cute restaurant. Lovely friendly service too. Will be a regular haunt but booking essential especially at weekends.

Wow, the food we got for takeaway was just incredible! The atmosphere was so welcoming and the staff were so kind too... I especially loved the aburi salmon nigiri and my daughter loved the spring rolls. Will definitely be coming back soon and recommend to...

What a gem this place is. The food is excellent and the staff as friendly as you could possibly want. Luckily I live nearby and have eaten here once a week ever since they opened. Their vegetarian dishes are also superb, try the Green Forest!...

We came here during the platinum jubilee weekend and it was fantastic. The restaurant is fairly small so I would suggest that you book ahead as it is going to be very popular. The Sushi was delicious. My husband and I had never had it...
