Kulu Kulu Sushi (Brewer Street)

I agree... the restaurant itself leaves something to be desired..decor is somewhat dull. But as another reviewer stated we go out for the food...and as far as the food is concerned...I absolutely love it. I was introduced to it by a friend, who taught me what was what in the sushi world, and now I want to have it all!! The staff aren't particular friendly but that doesn't bother me when I am tucking into one of those delicious tempura rolls...I would recomment this place to all those who have never dared to do raw fish, it will be a learning experience and one most will not regret! And even if you don't end up likiing the food in particular, its worth the experience for the value! Enjoy!

Absolutely love this place. Got introduced to it by a friend recently and have been back twice since. very fresh (you see them making it in front of you) and tasty, and very reasonably priced, which is a breath of fresh air in london. given the location, you would expect to pay a lot more. perhaps not a good place for big groups, but for a quick, healthy and delicious meal, this place is unbeatable.

Very good sushi, and plenty of choice. The atmosphere is not great since the place is a bit dull and crowded. Had to queue only for 10 mins. Price was reasonable.

i visited this restaurant about a month ago and was delighted with the quality of food. the selection was vast and the food was extremely fresh. it was extremely busy when we got there and had to wait for about 20 mins but it was definately worth it. i would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant, far better than any of the high street competitors!

Came here for a quick dinner at around 5.30pm. It was so quiet and the food had just come out so was extremely fresh with the tempura very hot. We ordered the selections we wanted which arrived very quickly. Its still really good for a quick bite and great value for money. I always leave here satisfied. The previous reviewer who didnt like Kulu Kulu should perhaps be eating at a high end restaurant instead, as really this place is only good for a quick meal.

Bad sushi, especially considering the competition in the area. The edamame were mushy, the tuna was a poor cut, the rice was gluggy, the salmon roe tasted as if it had been frozen, and the octopus appeared to be synthetic. There was a very limited selection overall, and certainly nothing was made or presented with the attention that I'd expect in any cuisine, especially Japanese. Some random battered deep fried prawns i'd expect to see in a chippy helped to mark this place as well below average.

Service was friendly enough, but i don't go out for service. It also was cheapish, but i'd rather pay 20% more and get excellent sushi, which you can do very nearby... It's edible, but so are nettles if you're hungry enough. I would not bother.

I visited this restaurant for the first time last night (5th April) And it was my first sushi experience....i have to say that i found it absolutely delightful.Excellent food,reasonably priced and friendly staff.I left the place with a full stomach and a bit tipsy (the hot saki was superb!)My particular favourite was the oysters which were just sublime although everything i tried was simply delicious.i would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone and will definatly be returning the next time im in London....i would just like to say thankyou to the chefs and staff for a wonderfull time and i hope to see you soon!

A reliable inexpensive sushi joint, perfect for a quick bite if you're in town. Bit disappointed on my last visit on the range of dishes on offer - seemed heavy on the tempura and rolls and very light on sashimi and vegetable choices. But definitely recommend it.

An adequate place for a quick bite. Not a good place to take a group of friends beacuse the place is tiny and you're made to feel rushed. Plates off the conveyer belt are priced according to the pattern on the plate, which was sometimes confusing, rather than being colour coded like Yo Sushi. But the prices are cheap. Wouldn't recommend this place for first time sushi goers because the menu is only for food you order and doesn't describe what food is on the belt. So you often end up guessing at what you pick up off the belt. The decor is a bit tired looking. The waiting staff are friendly, however the manager wasn't too friendly or helpful when they made a mistake with our order. However that hasn't put me off going there again if I ever need a quick, cheap bite to eat.

The first time I went it was really nice, and the price was good. But that was a few years back. I visited the place yesterday for lunch and it was dreadful. Very few dishes to select from the conveyer belt. And to my horror, they didn't have plastic covers for their dishes!!!!!!!! I will never go back again.
