Yoshino in City of London, Westminster

Had a craving for sushi somewhere in-between the high high end and Yo Sushi and chanced upon this place. Intending to do a lunch walk in for a la carte or one of their set menus, I was instead offered their Omakase menu only which is usually available via prior reservation only, more courses and of course, more expensive. The sitting was only half full so not sure why a la carte etc wasn't available. The edamame, dessert and miso were forgettable and barely deserving to make up three of the 11 courses (dessert was a scoop of ice cream) and the fish itself was good, prepared in front of you as you'd expect. It wasn't clear that the fish was "dry aged" so the flavours of classics were unique if familiar. The atmosphere was casual at lunch - this isn't pretentious although they still seem to be ironing out some kinks with the service - e.g some things were explained to one end of the counter and not the other. In addition to the lack of an a la option as suggested on their website (or set menus as featured in other reviews), the lunch Omakase is cheaper than on their website, which I only noticed after the fact as the so called encore sushi of your choice promised on the website was not offered so I double checked to ensure I had not misread. Overall a decent experience but some consistency in marketing/expectations management needed.

Highly recommended! A little gem we stumbled across and had such an amazing experience from the moment we stepped in to the restaraunt! We had a few plates and they were all just so delicious!! The fish is of high quality, the staff were so welcoming and attentive. We also had the pleasure to meet the head chef Rodrigo who was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. The prices are fair for the quality you get. We will definitely be back! ❤️

Stamford BridgeのChelsea主催試合を観戦するのに近隣に宿泊した時の定番化している。洋食で胃もたれしてきた頃に、日本人シェフによるちゃんとした和食が食べられるのが嬉しい。こじんまりした店内は行くといつも混んでいて、私たち夫婦以外に日本人を見たことがないが、味は変に現地化せず日本人向けのテイストを守っている印象。かなりレパートリーは広く、値段も手ごろなので広くお勧めしたい。営業時間をネットで確認していくことを勧める。 一度、夕方のまだ仕込み時に伺って忙しそうだったが、快く注文を受けていただけてありがたかった。

Introduced to this place earlier in the week and loved it. Really delicious food and love that you can choose your size of rice, spice and a side too. Really tasty and great value. Second visit and had the thinly sliced beef curry. Delicious. Not a place for a long meal but a perfect refuelling before heading off to theatre or something!

Tenía el Tonkotsu, caldo muy rico, casi cremoso. Un poco de hongo de la oreja de madera, y 7 rodajas de cerdo chasu. Fideos firmes. En general, bastante sabroso, pero debería haber pedido más ingredientes. Las bebidas eran un poco "ordinarias". Buen servicio, amable. Entrega muy rápida de comida.
