Yoobi has become one of my favorite takeout places in London. I've had quite a few of their cones…read morerecently, as Deliveroo has had a free delivery deal going on with Yoobi for the last few weeks. It's definitely non-traditional temaki, with inclusions like croutons, lemon, and lettuce into their sushi cones, but the flavours come together very nicely! The Citrus Salmon and the Spicy Tuna temakis have been my favorites thus far, although the Scottish Salmon is really tasty as well. It's also nice to see that the fish they use is all sustainably sourced! Will continue to order from Yoobi in the future.

A year on and my review needs an update!…read more I come here as often as I can. This is not as often as I would like to. If I could eat here a couple times a week, I would. Yoobi is my favorite! They've started offering table service in the evening which is sometimes a bit awkward, but generally pretty good. The food remains, as ever, delicious. 20 hour cured salmon with the pear slices = delightful. My standard order is some variation including the spicy tuna (which, depending on who mixed up the spicy sauce on that day can be warmly spicy or blow your head off awesome) and the citrus salmon. Citrus salmon is decidedly my favorite temaki offering. It's bright and fresh and light and just delicious. I have once had the special king crab California roll temaki, and it was super yummy, but that one is just a touch pricey for my wallet to be eating on regular basis when I am perfectly happy with the amazing salmon options. Giant handrolls, friendly service, and it's easy to fill up a stamp card if you come even sort-of often! So so good.

The starters alone are worth a trip, and there were so many I wanted to try, they're actually all I had. Don't judge. They were amazing. The Pumpkin Croquettes were a slightly sweet and crispy version of traditional croquettes, deep-fried to perfection, with a light and smooth finish. Two will set you back a mere £3.10. While the spring rolls are good, I highly recommend the Vegetarian Duck Rolls, made with slightly sweet tofu skin, spring onions, cucumber, and Hoi Sin sauce. Three of those healthy rolls are a whopping £4.60. Finally, the Chicken Yakitori was also a dish worth it's weight in pounds, char-grilled to perfection and doused in a sweet yakitori sauce. A few skewers costs around £4.10. The rest of the menu is not only enormous, but sure to please any seafood-lover, especially sushi. They serve just about any Asian-inspired dish you can think of, including salads, ramen dishes, rice dishes, noodles of many different varieties, tempura, and sushi rolls, with a perfectly-paired sake menu to boot. But really, those side dishes are to die for.

The first course was some spinach leaves in a sweet sauce and it was actually better than expected. It then came with 3 pieces of sashimi which I could tell were very fresh and melted in my mouth. There was also a tiny container of tuna tartare. Lastly, for my choice of protein, I went with the black cod, which was a nice soft consistency and cooked well. The sauce on the side also added some nice sweet flavor to complement the fish. While the food was good, I do feel that 48 GBP is slightly on the high side considering the small portion sizes. The interior of the restaurant has some elegant and classy decor. That's probably why so many people come for business lunches here (plus the location). The staff are average friendliness, although the service speed was kind of slow. It was also weird that they for some reason couldn't find our reservation in their system but we were still able to get a table nonetheless. Overall, I think ROKA is a very choice choice if you are looking for a fancier Japanese meal than your typical sushi restaurant.

Roka is basically a typical faux luxury establishment of the type that has been popularized over the years in areas of low culture and/or regions where a particular cusine doesn't really exist. You know the type: pictures of beautiful people and food, tasteful font for the establishment, and a quick look at the about section of the restaurant reveals it's place as part of group founded by a bunch of executives; it's not so much a restaurant as it is an exercise in corporate branding. When you visit, you'll notice that the clientel reflects that branding design as well. Everyone here looks like they're part of a vertical strategy that includes the workers at the firm itself, the final spot on a flow chart diagram where the staff themsleves are the primary customer for the product and then a line arches back to the beginning of the flow to further inform strategic planning for more pan something restaurants. The name of this group could be called Ouroboros but that might be a little on the nose. Most izakayas on Planet Earth have better food that what you'll get here and for far less money. This said, you won't get to enjoy a space filled with the finance crowd who are all tastefully lit to ensure their Instagram selfies look good enough for them to tag themselves with the establishment. Service is slow and aloof. Skip it.

We decided to hop over there to try a few of their rolls. Unfortunately we were in a bit of a time crunch and would have appreciated if they offered takeout/ take-away, however, they do not. Only dine in is available here... which is kind of out the norm coming from the US. This restaurant is quite authentic though, owned by Japanese! We were hoping to find Caterpillar roll or some roll with avocado and protein; they do not have a wide selection. We ended up just getting an avocado roll, which was simply sushi rice, seaweed, and avocado.

I also tried the crispy duck roll, which was something unique that I haven't seen at other sushi restaurants. The duck was indeed crispy inside and it was surprisingly good. The rolls are generally around 10-15 GBP for 8 pieces, so the value is not too bad. The place is located on a bit of a quiet side road and the restaurant has a chill vibe inside. There is a decent amount of seating on the ground floor and upper level, and it wasn't particularly busy on a Sunday night. The staff are friendly and the service speed is pretty quick. Overall, while I do give bonus points to them for offering a unique crispy duck roll, it was otherwise a fairly standard sushi restaurant experience, so I am giving Sanjugo 4 stars.
