Until now I used to think the best sushi I'd ever have was in my former hometown of NYC. Then I…read moretook a side trip to Japan which was pretty impressive. It sparked a search for THE sushi place to go to around the city. I walked past this place while I was getting lost on my lunch break. I made a note of it and told myself I'd go in sometime, but it was like some sort of Harry Potter cross dimensional place that I couldn't find, It's well hidden but it's an absolute gem. It's a typical conveyor belt sushi setup. With colour coded plates. So far so good. What strikes me is the quality of the stuff going past. None of your dry, cold rice endlessly circling a glum, flourescent table a la Yo! Sushi. This is the good stuff. There is a great selection and it's not all safe bets (tuna or salmon) there's a good mix of vegetarian, adventurous and traditional items. Plus they have nailed the warm rice/ crisp nori in the way that no other place I have been to in London. Probably because they are making the sushi right in front of you. In fact if you don't see what you like, you can request it. Service is prompt, friendly, polite and never intrusive. This is my favourite sushi spot in London, I've taken friends and converted cynics. It's authentic enough to have the traditional Japanese desserts too. Not too expensive, an absolute bargain for what you get. 10/10.

I've been here a few times at lunch and am slightly surprised by the first comment…read more Being a few minutes from Liverpool Street station means there is no shortage of hungry people at lunchtime - the queues in most of the cafes, shops and restaurants at lunchtime are testament to this. The odd thing is that Habibi is never busy, it's always a bit quiet. I wondered why so I paid a couple of visits. There is a wide selection of sushi available to eat in or take away. The thing is, the place doesn't feel as clean as it should be. The lids covering the sushi often seems a little musty and if an item is too large for the plate (typically the stuff on skewers) it drags across the display of soft drinks in the middle (check out all the missing pain on the cans!) To add to this general feeling of uncleanliness, there were a lot of little flies in the restaurant which would occasionally land on the uncovered plates on the conveyor belt. It seems the electric fly catcher, situated right next to the Miso soup pot, isn't doing its job well enough. Given the place has been so quiet on my few visits, the staff weren't really that attentive and you had to shout to get their attention. I did notice that a few people came in for takeaways during my lunches. I felt a bit sorry for them, as during my second visit the chef was taking unsold sushi from the plates and boxing this up for takeaway. It could well be that both my visits were uncharacteristic and believe me, in a world of homogenised dining brands such as Yo!, I strongly want to support the independent restaurateur, but I think they need to smarten their act if I'm to ever consider going back.

This location seems high end compared to the interior of the white cross location. We arrived and were promptly seated. We ordered Draft Asahi to drink, and ordered the sushi deluxe and premium bento box as our meals. The toro was the best of everything. All were fantastic, but they definitely had better toro than the other types of fish. This place is a little pricey, but worth the splurge! Definitely a great spot for first dates / after work dinners.

4.5 stars taking into account a few very nitpicky details but rounding up because honestly it was a…read morekiller experience. I went for brunch and opted for the bottomless drinks package. I never had an empty glass. Service was so incredibly attentive without ever feeling overbearing. They brought out starters promptly. Edamame was really great. Loved the shishito peppers as well. I didn't even touch the miso soup lol. Saving my appetite for the main event! The sushi buffet was truly excellent. The sashimi was impeccable quality. One very minor complaint is that the plates were very small (not a huge deal, I just felt bad for the staff for having to clear plates often as I could only fit like four pieces of sushi on one, lol). I thought the range of food was great. The salads were really nice as well. There was a very simply dressed spinach salad with a subtle truffle flavour that I loved. The choice of mains is really just a bonus. I opted for the black cod (of course) which (of course) was fantastic. Honestly the buffet was so good I would have been just as happy without it but who can complain! Minor complaint is that the dessert selection was just okay. Honestly given how phenomenal everything else was I was a bit surprised they didn't elevate the desserts as much. I had some decent churros with a truly unbelievable caramel sauce and tried a brownie that I didn't love. I didn't come for the desserts and it still hit the spot, but they could show them some love! Overall well worth the price. Will return.

BE WARNED: I dined here alone a couple weeks ago and asked for Omakase. The server did not know…read morewhat this was and put in about 400GBP of food items (It was a couple small plates, a few full size appetizers and a few full size main courses including about 8 ounces of very expensive Wagyu that came out last and was wasted). The food all came out quite quick before I could tell them to stop. I was able to eat the first few things (about 60GBP of value of food). The restaurant admitted this was a training fail on their part (I have the back and forth emails) but still charged me for a full Omakase price even though I never had an Omakase experience! It's a real shame as Nobu has been one of my favorite restaurants. To charge the customer for their own self admitted complete failure is a DISGRACE!!

Hidden within Liverpool station, Moshi Moshi is shockingly beautiful upon entering and escaping the hustle of the station. With it's unique seating and layout, it would be the perfect date night location. I brought a large group to Moshi Moshi, and the team was fantastically supportive and flexible to our needs and reservation process. They weren't phased when our numbers continually changed (even night of) and they worked with our limited budget. We were able to get a meal (not just 1 sushi roll) for £14 or less per person. I'm excited to go back without the budget limitation to try some other items.

I tried a noodle pot once and hated it, but I might try again in case that was just an issue at the one branch one time. My favourites are the breakfast bagels, shraps (sushi wraps) and the Veggie Avocado & Egg on RIce salad. The Wild Rice & Fresh Herbs Avocado salad can be good, but the last time I got it the avocado was really under-ripe, which put me off. But I love their refreshing, light flavour combinations. The queue goes quickly, and the prices are reasonable... I will probably keep going back unless there are more under-ripe avocados to disappoint me.

Suito was a strange experience. Brick Lane is not the usual destination you crave for sushi but…read moreit's there if you need it. To be fair I think it's more a cocktail bar that just happens to serve sushi on the side so maybe that's why they don't put too much attention on their food. Sadly we didn't order any cocktails so we can't comment on that. The whole restaurant itself definitely lacks warmth. It felt like a big empty white space with a few table and chairs thrown in lit up with cold spotlight lighting. Service on the other hand was superb. The staff were enthusiastic and attentive in taking your order and making sure you got everything you wanted. However they weren't knowledgable in the menu at all and you will come to find out why. We started with mixed vegetable tempura which was really red peppers and courgettes, not really the mix we were expecting. The batter was good, a bit on the greasy side but still light and thin. They were served with takoyaki sauce which was interesting. If you like the taste of worchester sauce then you will like it. The super salmon roll had potential but the quality of ingredients let it down. Sadly this place does lack quality and the price doesn't match what you get. The salmon was mushy and tasteless. But the filling itself was nice. The use of pickled daikon inside which was very new to me in a salmon roll provided a nice crunchy texture and added a refreshing flavour. Rainbow roll costing £12.00 was not worth its price. Described as spicy crab was nothing more than a crab stick inside actually made from white fish. The fish slices were mushy and only one Seabass slice in sight. It tasted mushy and low in quality The tuna and salmon sashimi was more for presentation than to eat. Even by presenting the sashimi on ice, it does not hide the fact that the tuna and salmon were not the freshest or high quality. The cut was poor, you can taste the fibers, it was mushy and lacking flavour. The Unagi nigiri was okay. The eel itself could have been bought marinated already. Nothing too memorable but at least the marinate was nice and the rice held nicely together. The potato croquettes that was given to us was a hilarious mistake. It was suppose to be our sautéed pak choi we ordered. The waiter even delivered it to us saying 'pak choi'. It was clearly potato croquette which wasn't on the menu. We started to make stories about how they might have taken the chef's lunch by mistake. We didn't fuss over it until we finished it as it was quite nice. In the end it came conplimentary as it turned out they ran out of pak choi and made us something else instead. Haha... Random! The Miso udon noodle soup was really udon placed into over salty miso soup. There was no extra meat or vegetable stock added, just instant miso paste with tonnes of wakame salad which was probably the reason why it was so salty. The egg that came with it was overcooked rather than soft boiled. The whole dish itself was something I could have made myself in 5 mins. The salmon teriyaki donburi was probably the best dish of the night. However they could have toned down the sauce as it all dripped to the bottom making the last few bites very overpowering in teriyaki sauce and salty. But other than that the salmon cut into small pieces meant it took on a lot of flavour. The red cabbage provided texture and the rice was cooked perfectly, fluffy and sticky. Although there were a few good dishes here and there I really don't see any reason to venture into this restaurant for the food. For the price you pay you can get far better quality of sushi and mains. It was a nice and funny experience overall but I won't do it again.
