Reviews for Delicatessen Yoshino
I have a slight sushi obsession and this place was walking distance from work so I'd say I've spent the majority of my take-away lunches munching away on their sushi.
Unfortunately, Yoshino has been kicked out of the Japan Centre basement but they are promising to re-open it somewhere 'close' in October. In the meantime, the delicatessen is operating out of their restaurant just down the road from the Japan Centre so I guess not all is lost....
The Sushi here is fresh and delicious - sometimes handed over as it's made. You won't find Sushi at a better price in central London, and you only need to see the number of Japanese here at lunch time to realise this is the 'real deal'. I've been enjoying it for over 2 years, but it is now becoming incredibly busy at lunch time.
This place is tucked away, in the Japan Centre, itself a 2 seconds walk from Piccadilly circus.
The Japan centre houses a restaurant on the ground floor (which is always busy, offers good food albeit pricey, but that's a review for another day!), and a Japanese delicatessen/shop downstairs - the subject of this review.
The sushi @ Yoshino's is the cheapest I've found. It's of a decent quality and variety too (to give you an example, you can get a pack of 8 Salmon & Avocado maki/roll for £2.95. BAR-GAIN!).
The place is always full of people, esp. during lunchtime, but their super efficient order processing system won't make you wait for more than a couple of minutes.
It's THE place to go to pick up a packed sushi lunch at more than an affordable price.
NB. When I went today (29th Nov 07) the shop was being revamped. Not sure what they're planning there but it used to offer everything you needed to make your own Japanese meals. I'll try to update when I find out what they've got in store (pun intended ;)
