Giles Coren - 2/10

Saturday, August 01, 2009 - There was an okay deboned quail and good wasabi prawns. And then I ordered the 'slow-cooked pork belly, feijoada bean puree, chilli mango' because it sounded at least Brazilian, and because I hate myself. I thought it was bland and dusty but Kielty said it was the best thing he had eaten in ages. Mind you, an hour before he had told me, 'I'm Irish. As far as I'm concerned, food is either burnt or soggy' - and as the feijoada appeared to be both, I guess that was the attraction.

This Is London

Monday, April 27, 2009 - We began with wasabi prawns, spicy crispy baby squid and seafood tempura. The prawns were huge, juicy beasts and the squid came in neat little circles, piquantly spiced. These were accompanied by doll's house-sized dishes of dark sauces for dipping - though I'm never quite sure which one is intended for which. The seafood tempura was delicious, but let's face it, this dish is basically just a posher and more manageable portion of battered fish and a guiltfree way of liberating your inner chip shop. Our main course of sushi was sublime. Just perfect.

Expensive, but still cheaper than Nobu or Zuma, and the food and service is better. So, all in all, a positive experience.

Great Experience!

It's tough to find a restaurant in London with American level service, and this is about as close as it gets. Staff were very attentive, helpful and friendly.

The food was innovative and delicious. The sushi very fresh and really did taste very different to usual traditional offerings (try the house specials). The cocktails were awesome. The atmosphere on a late Saturday eve, buzzy and fun and the desserts absolutely stunning. The passionfruit crumble was just awe-inspiring.

The experience wasn't cheap but then again it is a japanese restaurant and Chelsea isn't really where you go for a cheap dinner. All in all, probably my favourite restaurant in London at the moment.

The chilli king crabs is the best dish I have had in London. Full stop.

Also, good to finally see a sushi restaurant with a conscience.

Really excellent restaurant. I would highly recommend you try this little diamond.

The food was delicious, the ambiance was wonderful (especially for a Tuesday evening) and the service was delightfully friendly.

The prices are also very reasonable, especially for the ingredients they use (I know, as I consider myself a little bit of a 'Market Maven'). Some of the dishes are actually cheaper than at many lower end Asian chains I have visited recently. The sushi quality is very high and the food from the hot kitchen is creative, very fresh and skilfully prepared.

The wine list is also worth a mention. They seem to really have taken their time in coming up with such an interesting collection of wines. All the wines seem to have been put together with the food in mind.

Try this place out before it starts becoming too popular!

Had dinner here the other night and we all thoroughly, thouroughly enjoyed it!

We were supposed to go to Eight Over Eight but unfortunately due to the fire, we had to change our plans. Thankfully, sushino did not disappoint. The food was absolutely fantastic and the staff so accommodating.

I wouldn't say it's better than Eight Over Eight, as it is so different, food and atmosphere wise (there was even live music!). I would however highly recommend it and we will definitely be back.

We're just so happy to have another top restaurant here in Chelsea!

A very decent addition to rather bland Chelsea.

Last night was our second time and the food was much better than our first visit. Seems that the restaurant still needs to find its consistency (or maybe we just had the wrong dishes first time around)). Ordered the sushino platter for starters, which was wonderful. Beautifully fresh fish and some unique creative rolls. Then had the halibut (possibly the best fish dish I have had in some time), the seabass (excellent dish, the dish that really brought us back), and the grilled prawns (huge delicious prawns). The sides of cassava chips was also great and reminded us of our holidays in south america.

Downsides would probably be the meat dishes we had the first visit, the pork belly was a little dry (slightly overcooked) and the wagyu wasn't very special (but then again it was quite cheap for wagyu, under £30). If they can get the meat dishes right (odd for a brazilian restaurant), then they really would really be onto something

As for service, it was fine. Not the best but everyone was very friendly and helpful. As long as it's not as cold or machine-like as Nobu, I am happy. Prices are also very fair for a restaurant in such an expensive area.

visited sushinho on the weekend and I was impressed. I am from Sao Paolo, so I was quite surprised with the fusion that was going on here. It started with the seaweed salad that came with a tahini based sauce (Brazil has one of the largest lebanese communities in the world), then the duck came with a molasses type sauce (as brazilian as it gets), the sushinho sushi roll is also very brazilian (deep fried and with cheese), and some of the sushi came with fruits (also very brazilian). All the food was prepared very well and the sushi was of a good quality. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere impressive (with great music). So we will definitely come back.

Had a great dinner here with some of my girlfriends the other night. Since I have heard so much about this place through friends and media, we were not disappointed. The food was wonderful and the cocktails some of the best I have ever tried. I also had no idea sushi could be this good! It really was melt-in-your-mouth kind of stuff. The interior is gorgeous and the staff very helpful and friendly. No wonder this place has gotten so much attention of late. Probably also why Robbie Williams was sitting only a few tables away from us.

I would highly recommend this place and we will definitely come again!

Sunday, January 04, 2009 - Sushinho opened a couple of weeks ago on what Lady Bracknell would call the unfashionable end of the King’s Road. Its USP of Japanese-Brazilian fusion is rather more U than most. (And rather U than me, you’re probably thinking.) But, while it may have sounded a bit odd, it wasn’t without promise. It actually turns out the pairing isn’t so weird: one moderately surprising fact for you is that Brazil contains the largest proportion of Japanese people outside their home country…
