London - Ukai

Sushi lovers among you, I recommend, nay, I implore you, to venture a visit to Ukai Sushi. This is a great sushi restaurant that my friend and I wandered into by chance and, (I'm embarrassed to say this as I'm noticing a pattern here), it's in Soho.

However, quickly before we get to the sushi, across the road is Barrio Central, a Mexican bar that is bright and buzzy and that did some killer mojitos.

Now into Ukai. We received a really warm welcome when we entered, not least because three of our four cocktails were on the house. Who could fail to warm to that. But regardless of the sake that kept reappearing in its multiple forms - as cocktails and also cold - the sushi was amazing. As in, move over Yo Sushi amazing.

We had the classics; salmon sashimi and salmon avocado sushi rolls, and we also had tempura sushi that was my favourite.

Here they are, in all their glory. Each photo is accompanied by the funny little man that you can see on the table mats, and all photos are artfully taken by Miss Cate Dwyer, who demanded a mention.
