The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Stroud South West

My daughter and I visited Kyuri Sushi for lunch today. We had Katsu Chicken Bento and Korean Sweet and Spicy Chicken, together with the on offer miso soup. The welcome was very warm, and we were able to sit at the small (5 person), bar area and watch food being prepared. Our lunch was beautifully presented, the food was delicious, and helpings plentiful for less than £12 per head. We cook Japanese and Korean food at home, so have some understanding of these dishes; these were very well done. It is a rare meal out these days where you do not come away thinking that you could have cooked far better at home for the money (esepcially if you eat steak !). That was really not the case here. I expect Kyuri Sushi will become a regular venue.

It is unfortunate I have to write this review after being one of Tomari G’s biggest fans previously. We arrived Friday evening to extremely bad service and without half the menu available. The waitress basically ignored us for 20 minutes. When she arrived they had no Rose wine. When we went to order they had no sushi ! One of the main reasons we visit!! We then asked for Salmon Poke Bowl, this was not available, We asked what was available the answer was just Ramen. I have also had a few friends visit who expressed there concern on the lack of menu available recently. I understand that this has happened since they have been taken over. We visited when it was the previous owners and it was amazing. My advice, try somewhere different. Nagomi in Cheltenham is amazing so we will be visiting that restaurant instead In future.
