Sushi burritos anyone? Yea, we never heard of ‘em either until an e-mail pinged into TCE’s inbox with news of a Japanese casual bar that’s attempting to revolutionise everything we ever knew about sushi (well maybe they’re not pitching their ambitions that high, but they’re certainly daring to be different). Hai Street Kitchen and Co is what we’d call Japanese-Mexican fusion with a light and quirky touch; tasty sushi rolls are prepped at a counter alá Chipotle and rolled in the style of a burrito – or served in a bowl – with an emphasis on fresh, Japanese and Mexican ingredients and speedy Gonzales service.

Clearly pitched at a city crowd who would appreciate both of those things at lunch time, it’s still worth a pop-in if you’re in the Leadenhall Market area, just for the chance to get your paws on these colossal rolls which might be a bit tricky to chow down at first bite – they’re really that big! – but it’s nothing a spoon, chopsticks and a few napkins can’t handle. We recommend the flank steak roll with asparagus, wasabi guacamole – and if you’re on the move, grab a bag of the super moreish yucca chips to snack on for later.

“Sophisticated sushi” are just two words that spring to mind when we think about Nizuni. This intimate Japanese restaurant – which sits amongst the many refined eateries you’ll find on Fitzrovia’s Charlotte Street –  is where you go if you want a classy night out without the daunting price tag, and are looking for food that’s as lovely as the service you’ll get.

Smiling staff quickly served our lychee cocktails (beautiful, we might add) and the highly recommended Hamachi Usuzukuri – sliced yellowtail with avocado mousse, grated mooli with truffle oil. But it was the sushi we were most impressed with: the heavenly 10-piece chef selection was well-presented, fresh and authentic enough for us to believe the chef’s here know what they’re doing – and it’s never by halves. There’s places in the capital that may go one better of course, but Nizuni do a great enough job to put them on your restaurant hit list.  Visit this weekend.
