Me Love Sushi (Swiss Cottage)

This is a very social restaurant and is fab for groups as they have long benches to sit round. At busy times it can be loud but that just adds to the atmosphere. And another benefit of going with a group is you can just order plates of loads of different sushi and share! So try a bit of everything, their range of starters are also good I love the calamari, edamame beans and dumplings.

This place has an excellent atmosphere especially on near the end of the week, the food is great, the staff are helpful with recommendations is you've never tried sushi before, it has a fun atmosphere, what more could you want as part of your night out! And the Swiss Cottage one has a cocktail bar too!

My whole family love eating at melovesushi and all have our favourites mine are their salads with the small tuna seaweed rolls, the kids love their bowls of chicken noodles and hubbie loves their chicken katsu curry. Happy people all round!

Good restaurant for meat eaters and vegetarians, they have a well labelled menu and a selection of meat, fish and then purely veg sushi, so everyone has something to choose from. And even their cooked dishes have a range of meat, fish and vegetable choices.

I've always enjoyed whatever i've had both sushi and the cooked dishes.

I stumbled into Me Love Sushi after a tiring day of doing all the normal touristy stuff, and I just wanted something quick, easy and tasty. I tend to avoid fast food joints - hate that artery clogging grease and killer aftertaste of MSGs. Sushi was ideal. Although I had spied the take away Me Love Sushi locations before, this one is a sit down restaurant. You order at the counter - if you can manage to make a decision with such a huge menu - and then sit at a table for your meal to be brought to you once its prepared.

I started with Chicken Yakitori skewers, which were lovely and sticky sweet - just the way they should be, and then moved on to salmon noodles, which was really to die for. I love food with loads of flavor but not too spicy, and this was just right. The salmon had been pan fried so it had that lovely brown seared texture. Mmmm.

I would normally have chosen something like their salmon or crispy duck Temakai, which is like a big cone of seaweed stuffed with rice and other ingredients, or maybe their Sashimi platter which is a big plate of loads of sushi, but it was so cold the day I visited I need something hot to warm me up.

If you are visiting London and are looking for a tasty and healthy meal then I would highly recommend stopping in to Me Love Sushi. The place is really friendly, with a bright interior and funky decor and it is usually filled with quite a varied mix of people.

I am a big lover of fish, so it's no surprise that I love Sushi, although I tend to avoid the raw stuff and choose things like king prawns, fried salmon and crab. If you are a tourist to London you might have been brave enough to try Jellied Eels (a local delicacy) so you should try the Japanese barbequed version here.

The prices are all pretty reasonable for London, and the menu is really big so you can pretty much eat to whatever your budget is, and still get your fill. I found a lot of Japanese restaurants in London to have really inflated prices, and I guess that goes with the territory, but I would rather spend money on nice, fresh food than gimicky service or pretentious interior design.

Me Love Sushi is really easy to find, as it is right beside the Swiss Cottage tube station. (Exit 2 I think) It is also a convenient place to eat as it is close to Hampstead Heath so it's a great location to people watch or meet up with friends coming from outside the city.

If you are looking to pass some time in a clean, friendly place to hang out and chat with friends, then you can order dishes kind of like Japanese 'tapas' and nibble on different dishes. In fact, this is a great way to be a bit more adventurous with your food choices, as you can order plates of things like Flying Fish Roe sushi, or Japanese pickles to share amongst you.

I ate at Me Love Sushi when I was on a recent date. It was an ideal place to go, as we could have talked about the food all night and not had to worry about running out of things to say, or trying to break the ice.

The menu is amazing - there is so much to choose from and a great variety. From nigiri and Sashimi to noodles to hot rice dishes. The portions are all a lot more generous that in some other Sushi restaurants that I have been in, and the fish in the Sashimi was thick and fresh and full of flavour.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is really quirky and fun, and it feels friendly. The staff were great too, and even wrapped up our left overs in a doggy bag for us to take home.

There is a small bar upstairs which serves some unusual sakes as well as your normal assortment of drinks. I was brave enough to try one of their 'sakitini' cocktails - a delicious taste sensation, but I couldn't drink too many if I wanted to walk home in a straight line!

I would recommend Me Love Sushi to anyone looking for a place to take a date or enjoy a cosy, romantic meal in a fun atmosphere.
