Sushi & salad in Uttlesford

Visited here a few times for dinners out, amazing service and food each and every time, quite a high end pricing however is absolutely worth it for what your given. Would absolutely recommend the pork gyozas, my favourite thing on the menu. Definitely worth a visit if your around and enjoy Japanese food.

Second attempt at a home delivery order. Disappointing again. First time was an hour late and again this weekend at a friends house was over half an hour late. Luke warm stodgy food. I see lots of good reviews so decided to give a second chance but was let down again. The first time I was offered a full refund, but instead they charged my card the full amount again! Someone the next day ended up sorting a refund for both payments. Also £3 delivery for in town on a £37 order (only 2 dishes) is ridiculous!

Delicious food and great service from Ben who accommodated our many allergies! Thank you😊

It was one of the best sushi we had as a family in a long tıme. Both service and the experience was wonderful

We really like it here, food and wine are both excellent, I love the Sauvignon blanc! Sometimes the service can appear a little slow, but actually we like that, it’s the way to go! slow and steady! We order a bit like tapas we might make three separate orders for food as we go along, we take our time and are never made to feel we must rush, a new fave is the Rainbow roll!

We followed the Google reviews to choose a place to dine. Sushi & Salad definitely didn't disappoint. The decor and atmosphere were lovely and the staff was friendly and committed for us to have a good experience. We opted for Mega Combo and it was more than enough for three people so we were very pleased with the portion size. Definitely recommend.

The best experience ever, both with takeaway and dine in! Excellent quality of food, fresh fish, service is 10/10! Special thanks to manager Daniel for warm welcome and treating us as special guests! It makes a huge difference when manager is doing his job properly 🤌🏻 can definitely recommend and will definitely be back again 👍

Great food and service , I do recommend Chicken teriyaki bowl with rice was amazing , my fiancé had a huge sushi bowl which she did enjoy

Very disappointed with my last visit here in February 2025. No music, very slow service, queue out the door with customers complaining about waiting 40 minutes for their pre ordered takeaway ( understandably), food arriving in dribs and drabs despite the same item on the menu being ordered together, no cutlery or napkins- had to ask, drink order being forgotten and needing to order again. Then to top it all not accepting our gift card due to issues on their end. Trying to use it the following day for takeaway and unable to do so then either. No solution or apology offered by the manager to help. Staff were clearly flustered and trying their best but it seemed clear the issue was bad management and organisation. The manager was also rude to my partner when he tried to use the voucher the following day. The result is we have a £75 voucher we cannot use and a reluctance to visit again due to this bad experience. Shame, as it was previously my favourite place to eat out in saffron Walden.

Friendly and welcoming staff who are very willing to help novices! Sushi selection was so very tasty and very fresh. Looked spectacular with the dry ice! Prawn tempura were so juicy and delicious. Highly recommended!!

It was lovely ! We were amazed by the decor and the utensils were utterly beautiful I would highly recommend for anyone who loves Japanese food. Although they didn’t have a child menu, portions weren’t massive so I would recommend to have some sides.

A wonderful birthday lunch at Sushi & Salad! The food was delicious and the service second to none. My second visit within a week! Thank you :)

Amazing people Amazing food Amazing everything

It's fantastic to find a great sushi restaurant near us! The whole food experience was delightful, from presentation to flavours and great quality. The chef came out to see us as we'd enjoyed our meal so much. Great value for money.

A frequent visitor here Food and service is consistently excellent. Healthy, fresh, plentiful, tasty and well presented food.

best sushi i’ve ever eaten, the servers were very respectful and were overall cheerful and seemed like they enjoyed working which is very pleasant for 2 young girls out for dinner alone. i recommend combo 1 if it is only 2 people very good for how much it costs and it’s sooooo yummy

We absolutely love Sushi and Salad in Saffron Walden. Superb food, service and atmosphere :) I am gluten and dairy free and there are lots of options for me that are delicious 🤍 we’ll be back again very soon

We had a lovely impromptu meal here! Excellent service, truly wonderful staff (especially brilliant Ki), gorgeous atmosphere and really delicious food. The sashimi platter comes with a dry ice fountain which was lots of fun and really wowed the kids! Gluten free and vegan menus, dog and baby friendly (high chairs although no baby change - but I was able to use the downstairs area as it was closed off). Would love to come back! Highly highly recommend 💜

The best service and amazing food. Will come back time and time again!

Great service, delicious food, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Really lovely food with such nice staff and a beautiful place. I really reccomend

Wow, what a shame! We attended on Valentine’s Day, expecting it to be busy, but what a shambles! Our 2 previous visits were lovely, with friendly, knowledgeable staff and a romantic atmosphere, this time round just went to chaos. We arrived to find the restaurant already very busy at 18:15, with people queuing to pick up takeaway orders, luckily enough we were downstairs so were away from the chaos that was happening above us. We were seated and given no menu for about 20 minutes. When we decided what we fancied we ask if we could order little and often ( this has never usually been a problem in the past ) but was told that due to it being extremely busy it was best to order everything at once, which I understood and in hindsight was the better option! Problem then come when they split our table from a 4 seater to a 2, providing another table for a couple, however due to the table system on the till when the food was bought out the staff didn’t know what table the food was for. This appeared to be happening everywhere downstairs with orders being forgotten and staff not knowing what food was what. Eventually the issue was sorted and we got our food, which was really tasty when it did arrive. However there was no Wasabi, no soy sauce and no ginger, so had to ask for this half way through. I then ventured upstairs to use the toilet to find utter chaos with staff running around trying to fulfill orders, takeaway customers blocking the aisles in the main restaurant and the toilet area. At this point I was glad we were away from it downstairs. We were in between our meal when we were asked if we could pay for our food now, before we had finished, as the table next to us had new customers and they couldn’t order their food before we had paid for ours! So if we wanted more food it probably wasn’t going to be an option. We asked to see the manager, but this never prevailed, so we paid and left shortly after taking our sushi back home with us. Felt so sorry for the front of house staff, it wasn’t their fault, they were rushed off their feet and were taking the brunt end of the customers complaints. They were only young and doing their best, always apologising and trying to sort the muck ups as best they could. Poor management and lack of care from them. A lot of tables were cancelling orders as it hadn’t arrived and they wanted to go, so cancelled food and drink. We will definitely think about whether we are going to return or not, the change of management seems to have really undone what a lovely restaurant this was. I understand it was busy, but takeaway and walk in orders were prioritised over restaurant customers who were getting a rubbish service. We then went to the Wetherspoons and had more of a romantic drink in there! Please change something and quickly!

Probably one of my favourite restaurants in the UK! I’ve visited so many times over the last couple of years and have never been disappointed. The food is 10/10 and the service is always exceptional - cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

Such a gem in SW. We have been here many times and are always blown away by the food and lovely atmosphere. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough and have never left disappointed. I will be coming back many more times for excellent sushi!

Amazing food, amazing staff! The manager was very kind and helpful in helping us decide what to eat, best dinner out anyone can ask for!

I've enjoyed a lot of sushi in my time and without a doubt, this was the best I've ever had. The atmosphere and care from the wonderful staff just topped off the entire experience. Would not change a thing and will definitely be back.

I’m so happy you are now also delivering. Always fresh and tasty!

Fantastic Food and experience, Really nice service and atmosphere. Had the Salmon Uramaki and Spicy Udon both of which where delicious and presented amazingly. Highly recommend 👌

Fantastic food. Great service super welcome for both two and four legged

Great food well decorated great service. Fresh top quality fish oh my god looks amazing when plate come to the table with dri ice so amazing. My son he loved o toro so fresh o toro.

Food horrible. Raw and left nasty taste in our mouths. Ridiculously expensive for poor food. Went their for our anniversary and won’t bother again 😡

A lovely little restaurant decorated beautifully in Japanese style. Friendly servicing team and the food not only delicious but also authentically presented. Thank you to Chef, Summer, and the team. Highly recommended.

Very nice, cozy and comfortable. Staff were very friendly.

Fabulous fresh and creative — highly recommended with a wide variety of options, including vegan and gluten free. Friendly attentive staff, give it a try.

Very tasty, good food, good service

I have been to this restaurant about 5 times now and it is always excellent. I love the choice of food on the menu, the staff are wonderful - especially with my daughter and the sushi is exceptional. Super pleased we finally have wonderful sushi restaurant in Saffron Walden!

I had a delicious meal, amazing service. Loved the sushi taco!!

Food was great, presentation was amazing. Friendly staff and very knowledgeable about what was gluten free

We had a super meal at Sushi and Salad. Care was taken to provide a gluten-free meal for a coeliac in the party. Would highly recommend.

This is our second visit and we had the Sushi & Sashimi Fusion again and loved it. This is a great little Gem that you must visit.

Food and service is excellent, great to have somewhere different in saffron Walden.

Lovely Japanese food in a lovely setting.

It was a busy night in the restaurant but the service and food were outstanding. There is a range of sushi and sashimi but we prefer the hot Japanese food which is really tasty. All the food arrives when it is ready rather than a traditional start followed by main course. This is great for sharing so don't worry if you order too much. Not only is the food tasty but good value compared to other local restaurants. The service is professional and welcoming.

Absolutely wonderful restaurant, quick polite service, and astonishingly phenomenal sushi. Great vegan selection too.

Had some lovely sushi here since they opened. Definitely several levels higher than anything from sushi chain restaurants, prepared by attentive staff. Great range of gyoza and noodle/ rice dishes too.

This place is amazing, the staff are all so lovely, the food is even better. What a lovely dinner for a very cute date night ☺️

Amazing food, such a professional and comforting atmosphere. I will be back!

We just love this place:) It has never been a disappointment. Quality of food, service and ambiance is always 5 star ⭐️

Good food and lot to choose from. There is lovely calm atmosphere in the restaurant even if it is in the busy town centre.

Favourite place in Walden. Great sushi, great cocktails.

Absolutely delicious! And staff are kind also :)

What a gem of a place! The food was so delicious, the prawn tempura is a real stand out so make sure you get it! We had cocktails too which were creative and tasty! The staff were very friendly and attentive, all in all a lovely night. Thank you so much!

Delicious!! Fantastic food and service. Wonderful atmosphere. We will be back again soon.

Such yummy food and lovely people and atmosphere!!! Shoutout to the tiger Philadelphia 😋😋😋😋

Lovely food and friendly staff in a fabulous setting. Could not recommend enough!

Amazing food and excellent service! Best sushi in Cambridgeshire! Must try!

Love this restaurant. Delicious sushi and lovely service staff.

Went as a group of 5 (1 person with gluten intolerance) on a Wednesday. It was busy when we arrived at 19:00 until we left a couple of hours later. Bill was circa £260 this included a mixture of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. In hindsight we ordered a vast amount of food because it looked and sounded so good. We ordered entirely off the sushi part of the menu. Regarding gluten free, they had a menu marked with a high lighter indicating what was gf. They also would offer advice i.e. certain things we ordered could be made gf. I’m not normally a fan of live music in restaurants on the grounds that I can’t hear conversations. There was a young woman singer/guitarist who sang covers beautifully and had the volume just right for a restaurant context. Forgot to mention that it’s an informal dining venue. We live in the Chelmsford area and went on a recommendation.Really liked it, well worth the journey and we will return.

Best Japanese food I’ve ever eaten. Truly on another level - I even went back the next day to order my dinner meal again for lunch.

A must place to visit…. The food, cocktails and service are outstanding. Can’t wait to come back… please open a restaurant in Colchester or Chelmsford?! I’m in love with this place!

Absolutely delicious!! Top service, very friendly and attentive. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend

Best sushi i’ve ever eaten, the taste, presentation, price and staff service and friendliness is top notch!

Absolutely delicious! A real treat.

the food here is unbeatable it’s so so good, wide range of food that accommodates to all kinds of dietary requirements. the service is absolutely amazing; staff are kind and patient and so welcoming. will be back again :)

Great lunch! Loved the belly pork, sushimi and sushi. Especially the katsu chicken.

Fantastic sushi and atmosphere!! Will be back!

Amazing dinner with fresh sushi and livr music!!

From the moment we entered we loved the atmosphere and coziness of this place. Our waiter Greta was so nice and we felt like we had special treatment. Food was great and I love the fact that they have seperate vegan menu! 🪴 Win win! I would definitely come back and recommend.🌸

Delicious food and lovely environment.

Really enjoyed my food. So, so, tasty. Lots of choice for different dietary preferences, which was especially nice as a vegan to have so much choice. Tasty drinks too. Cozy atmosphere. If you’re in the area, you shouldn’t miss out on trying.

Love this little restaurant and the food is beautiful; high quality, fresh, and tasty. Lovely people and service. Many vegan options.

Really amazing atmosphere and delicious food. Extensive vegan menu! Shame we did not have any space for desserts as they seemed great 🌸 Thanks for the great service Greta 🤩 will be coming back

Delicious, fresh and wonderful service!

Food and staff were lovely, nicest Japanese restaurant I have visited!

Great food. Friendly staff and lovely presentation. I'm reliably informed that it's authentic, and it's certainly worth a visit.

Wonderful food. We come here every few weeks and the food is always top quality.

Fantastic place, freshest sushi I’ve had - despite travelling extensively. The decor is unique and staff very helpful, nothing too much trouble. We are regulars! Keep it up!

Marvellous little place! The food is delicious and the ambiance is very welcoming. Everyone was very attentive. We got to sit near the kitchen and admire the chef’s gorgeous creations! 🤩

Fab service, delicious food, lovely setting. Definitely recommend! :)

Lovely food and lovely live music! Loved being able to see the chef prepare the fresh food :)

Fabulous food, great service from lovely staff.👌

This charming restaurant not only serves up a fantastic array of sushi, but also delivers an experience that is hard to beat.

I recently had lunch at Sushi and salad and it was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, but what really made the meal stand out was the exceptional service. Pramila greeted us with a warm welcome. Samjhana’s attentive care throughout our meal made sure we had everything we needed, and Janak’s friendly, professional service kept the experience smooth and enjoyable. Their teamwork truly made our lunch memorable. Highly recommend this spot for both fantastic food and top-notch service!

We probably visit S&S bi-weekly and it’s become our fav family treat. We have 2 young vegetarian kids and a mixture of vegetarian and meat eating adults and we ALL have a list of fav dishes. The team working there are also brilliant. We often attend with 4 generations of family from aged 6 - 96 and the staff give all of us the perfect amount of attention.

"The entire experience was wonderful, from the delicious food to the attentive service to the charming ambiance and the live music was brilliant”

Excellent, kind service, and wonderful food. Will be back

We had a lovely time celebrating my wife's birthday. The food was excellent and presentation impressive. Our waitress Emine was amazing and very accommodating.
