St. Sushi

I think I may have developed an obsession with this place. I can’t stop thinking about the food they serve up and let me tell you, the Katsu Curry is dreamy. It’s sweet, fruity, spicy and has that flavoursome curry taste (duhh!) that I can’t quite have enough of! As I’m writing this, I am having heart palpitations just recalling the explosion of yum in my mouth!
Literally…
I have not had an ounce of Japanese food for a long time so I am absolutely overjoyed that after a hard day of window shopping (it’s not like I can actually afford to buy anything…), I can get me some delicious food for £8.50 (incl. a drink). Although St. Sushi isn’t the most super authentic joint, it defiantly tops chains such Wagamama and Yo! Sushi.
As you approach the little entrance hidden away in Eldon Sq. Shopping Centre, you are greeted by a lady who seats you in the restaurant downstairs. It’s not very big so it can be busy. It is brightly painted with modern furniture and is decorated with some nice authentic props dotted around. You can just about see the chiefs’ heads bobbing around in the kitchen behind the waitresses waiting to serve you. Upstairs is a waiting bit for take-​away and a small seating area if you are just getting snacks, drinks or bubble tea (yes, they do serve a limited but good range here). I happily noticed you can purchase lots of different flavours of mochi and surprisingly, corn rolls too!
My lovely bento box came with rice, prawn katsu curry the ebi was tempura style), four maki rolls and two gunkan (you can opt. for shashimi instead) which was more than enough to fill me right up. I ordered the Bento box from the happy hour (4:30 onwards) menu and choose green tea for my beverage. They put some died rice crackers in the tea which adds to the flavor and authenticity, a nice touch indeed. Like a pig I am, I also order a California hand-​roll. It’s my favourite-​I can’t very well pass it if when I see somewhere serving it can I? It was super expensive (£4) but worth it. It was well made, fresh, and had lots of fish roe. Small but very tasty. Everything was presented really well and it didn’t take to long for the food to arrive.
Most definitely a place I’m eating at again (and again).
