Junsei Marylebone – Authentic Japanese in London

Sushi Kyu Japanese in Soho
One of my favourite options when overloaded with options is Japanese cuisine. I love the clean flavours, the top-quality fresh fish, the reverence for the food and attention to detail. Sushi Kyu offers all of this and its tiny proportions – 10 seats around a counter – plus an Omakase dinner, transported me to Tokyo.
