Kikuchi
what the critics say
Jay Rayner
Sunday, January 18, 2009 - No designers have had anything to do with Kikuchi. It is a small, brightly lit room with a few tables and a sushi bar, commanded by one man...Their selection of sushi, at £24 for 12 pieces - two-thirds the Buddha Bar price and 10 times as good - brought sweet scallop and silky strips of otoro (belly tuna), a little turbot and some mackerel, some slippery, ripely female sea urchin and jewel-bright orange salmon eggs that burst pleasingly against the roof of the mouth.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 - Negitoro with spring onion maki was benchmark stuff, the razor clam nigiri particularly fantastic being squidgy and fleshy. The unagi carried a flamed taste, perhaps from the itamae's blowtorch, a pillowy soft texture and which I thought was brilliant. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the tamago (egg) nigiri. It was cut thick, perhaps a half an inch and it had a lovely egg custard texture about it, wet and spongy, just a dabble of soya sauce, just a hint of vinegar in the rice, just right.

Friday, March 12, 2010 - The Food: There was a lot of it, and I didn't take pictures of everything. I liked the tempura, even the mushrooms. Was not the hugest fan of the chicken yakitori, but I think that's just because I don't really like working for my food. Loved the gomae. And the cod. And then there was the sushi, and lovely it was. I went straight for the mackeral. Fresh. Generous cuts. Perfect...The Verdict: Loved, loved, loved Kikuchi. And they gave me a voucher for my next visit! You know I'm a sucker.
