My favourite sushi place in London - excellent food, reasonable prices, and it feels very authentic. Thereâ¬"s a couple of other Kulu Kuluâ¬"s around, but I have found the Brewer St one is the best.]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2008 21:03:48 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/1i7qn763995985 LKnight 51.510819 -0.136836 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/1w0928

It's best to go when the place is busy, as the dishes (mostly uncovered) on the belt are fresher due to higher traffic between the kitchen and the customers - if you go when it's quiet, a lot of the food is dried out. That said, you can always order your dishes directly, but that kinda negates the whole sushi-belt experience.

Kulu Kulu has a relaxed and informal air, and I like the do-it-yourself approach to cutlery, condiments and green tea.

For a really cheap meal, stick to the vegetable dishes - spinach with peanut sauce, fried aubergine, tofu, potato salad.]]> Mon, 14 Jul 2008 12:35:57 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/1w0928444539182 ricoeurian 51.510819 -0.136836 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/1969d9

I love this restaurant, just wished it open all through out the day and all through the night. While most people go kfc, or Mac'ds for a quick bite, either before meeting friends or going out clubbing, i come here. Food is cheap, its self service mostly, and it feels like i was in Tokyo Japan again, those sushi bars on the underground. A much better option than Yo Sushi. Also there are ALOT of variety of sushi here, just that if it is not on the conveyor belt, you can ask the chef to make it for you. ]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 18:05:01 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/1969d9984951208 heyphilip 51.510819 -0.136836 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/1j07l7

I was meeting a friend for a cheap dinner to catch up and we decided that kulu kulu sushi was the perfect place. There's a good atmosphere in there and being able to watch the sushi chefs is great, albeit a bit distracting! I was a bit surprised that the chefs weren't Japanese even though the owners were. All a bit strange really...

Anyway, the sushi was about average I guess but pretty good for the prices. It is one of those conveyor belt places so it's really easy to get over-excited and spend too much. I would have preferred a bit more variety. They didn't have any scallop nigiri which I'm told is quite tasty. I spent £12 on six plates which is not much at all for sushi. Would definitely go back again.]]> Mon, 10 Mar 2008 14:11:49 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/1j07l71965508676 lenalouise 51.510819 -0.136836 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/138656

Normally the Barrister and I go to the South Ken branch as it is near work but as we were shopping on this Saturday we thought we'd head to the Brewer Street branch to get our sushi fix. It is an identical set up to the South Ken one - basic interior,good atmosphere without being too loud, free green tea, covneyor belt and sushi chefs of indian origin!

On this occasion, we managed a whopping 16 plates between the two of us, due to new things popping up and the Barrister insisting that we try them plus it was raining outside so that gave us a good reason to eat ourselves silly.

We had the usual stuff including hand roll with prawn tempura, mackerel nigiri, scallop nigiri, agedashi tofu, jellyfish, teriyaki chicken and salmon, salmon sashimi - all very tasty. We also had an oyster each which was a bit strange - probably could have done without the spring onion on top.

I'm not a sushi expert but the fish was delicious and melted easily in your mouth. The bill came up to £36 (they don't include service) which is fantastic price for the amount we ate. Kulu Kulu is great if you're looking for healthy, basic japanese food - I would certainly recommend it over Yo Sushi which is totally overpriced. ]]> Mon, 10 Dec 2007 14:20:58 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/13865619401667 ilovelucy 51.510819 -0.136836 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/1v3507

A sobre, low profile Japanese restaurant. But the food is great, and the price on par with the decoration, i.e. low key. If you are a sushi and other Japanese food fan, a place to know.]]> Thu, 29 Nov 2007 16:44:26 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/1v3507866074723 Cedric 51.510819 -0.136836 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/1l63x7

Good Sushi! Much smaller than the yo-sushi or itsu. they have 3 branches but they still manage to keep in good quality.
We had to wait about 15 minutes until we got a sit but it was worth it.
The best fun is to try what you don't know and also not checking the color of the dish to calculate the price...]]> Wed, 18 Jul 2007 14:26:39 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/1l63x7245568177 gilka 51.510819 -0.136836 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o92b7u/kulu-kulu-sushi/1l2189

This little gem of a Sushi place is barely noticeable, tucked away on the west side of Soho (off Piccadilly Circus/Regent's Street).

The interior is small, with basic decoration, but feels cosy, though. You sit on small stalls around a small, bar-like table on which is the Sushi conveyor-belt.

They have a good variety of dishes/fish but don't expect much by way of dessert, apart from a sliced, juicy pineapple that's what was on offer on the night, anyway. Drinks wise, they have an informal, self-service green-tea dispenser, which is soothing and certainly good for digestion.

There were two of us and we ate about 7 (small) plates each, which cost us about £18 per head, all-inclusive.

Kulu Kulu Sushi is largely a self-service experience, which means that you can fill your bonnet as soon as you hit the stall, litterally! During busy periods, the expected staying time is 45 minutes, though, but if you are looking for a good, quick/blitz, in-between-shopping or pre-theatre fish consumption off Piccadilly Circus/Regent's Street, that is the place to go to: it is small, quick, good and unpretentious; I like it! Cheque, please!
