We also tried to go to Taberu but it's closed. It had better reviews than sushi corner but we're really glad we ended up here.
It opened our eyes to a whole world of fishy rice. The staff were friendly and helped us work out what we wanted from the menu. The place was really comfortable - at peak times people had to wait for a table but never too long.
For a starter we had pumpkin croquettes which were delicious. The mayonnaise was vinegary and straight up one of the best parts of the meal. We also had agadashi tofu which was soft, sweet and in a delicious broth. We also had some edemame which were alright I guess.
My girlfriend had a unagi don. I think eating eel is pretty dodgy but she seemed to have a good time. We had sets which were both great. I chose the special family one because it had salmon skin and holy hot damn let me tell you that's so good. It's hours later and I'm still thinking about that crunchy salmony goodness. It's a life changer, so good. Mackerel is my favourite fish and they did it justice on the nigiri too.
For desert they all strawberry mochi but I had tofu pockets which were nice and sweet as a finale. Also we had some hot tea which was great. The glasses were so pretty they looked like artefacts from the national history museum.
10/10 restaurant it's the most I've enjoyed a meal in ages. What's the deal with the video they're playing of dodgy actresses pretending to enjoy sushi? They really went with the take where she dribbles half of it down her chin?
