Nice price Japanese
Nestled in the buzzing market alley, Lower Marsh is a fine, fine Japanese restaurant that puts Wagamama and the fast food Jap clip joints to shame. The food is fresh. The prices reasonable and the ambiance low-key and unhurried. One gripe tho - the new lighting makes the place look like a submarine. Previously they had umbrella lamp-shades which added a softened hue. Now the glare is cold and blue. Lunch-times are heaving here mainly because of the tasty sushi and sashimi lunch boxes they whip up in a trice for the hungry salarymen at under £7 they're good value. The sushi is excellent and won't flatten you wallet. Some of the side dishes are also top notch - spring rolls - chicken with lemon - edame beans - they're all good. They also serve excellent Japanese green tea for £1.50 a pot. I wish this place was my local I'd be there everyday.
