The best restaurants serving Japanese food in County Durham North East

Probably the best sushi I have had outside of Japan. An unassuming little place with no alcohol license but with customers packed in tightly because they know this place is a gem. So many places these days over-do the sushi with garnishes, sauces etc. knowing that they’re destined for instagram. Instead this place serves sushi as it should be; simply fish and rice with the flavours and quality of ingredients doing the talking. The menu is great with a selection of fish rarely seen in other sushi restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Food was great and staff were amazing it was just freezing inside the shop and i even had 3 layers on. Some heating and it would be 5 star!

Really really disappointed with my take out sushi. I usually rave about ajiwai however the quality of the sushi I have just eaten is appalling. I paid £15.80 for sushi filled with tough, salmon skin, no salmon in sight. It was completely inedible. My sister also got the salmon teriyaki for £18.80 which was so dry and flavourless, no sauce on the salmon at all.

I LOVE it tooooo from my hart 🏅🏅🏅🏅🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
