Sushi Tokiya - Carte

The worst sushi I have ever had. The dumplings were mushy and the sushi was watery. We did not even finish our meal.

If you really know great sushi, this isn 't it. I agree with fellow helpers that it 's 1. Mediocre and 2. A let down based on the other rather promising reviews We did however feel safe eating the raw fish here, but agree that they skimp on the fish servings. Service was wonderful, but we were the only people in the place for most of our meal. Not sure how sushi is in London in general, but my guess is not very good...? If you 're craving Asian flair in this part of town, we loved the PHO Cafe just down the road on Battersea Rise.

We decided to stay in and order sushi, but probably should have just gone out. The women on the phone (I actually had to speak to two of them just to put in the order) kept saying my card wouldn't run because they didn't understand my address. Wen the sushi finally got to us over an hour later, it lacked any real flavor or substance. After I got a call from my bank the next day because the restaurant charged my card FIVE times, the same two women at the restaurant refused to admit that they'd done anything wrong and said that they only charged me once. After three days and a lot of back-and-forth, I finally just got my bank to dispute the charges for me, and after almost a week I got my mone... Voir le carte

Tokiya Sushi is a gorgeous little Japanese restaurant on Battersea Rise. It sits quietly amongst the hustle and bustle of the aforementioned street and Northcote road. Upon entering the bar, it's serene and unassuming elegance, yet humble feel add to the appeal. It seems to be run by a Japanese couple who are friendly and accommodating. This place is definitely one of the best sushi restaurants I've been to in London. The Nigiri is fresh and light, the sushi rice crumbles in your mouth and the fish is delectable. Try the scallop Nigiri if you want to taste something new it's gorgeous! The added bonus here is that you can get a take away and bring that fresh authentic taste straight home with...

Okay, so I've been known to build up hype, but with Tokiya I feel I'm justified. This is a brilliant sushi place it certainly could hold its own when I compare it to places I've loved in California (the closest I've come to Japan... so for that reason, it gets five stars from me. The place is small only 10 or 11 tables and the menu is humble. But with a blackboard that lists the fresh fish of the day and a few specials, you know Tokiya offers quality over quantity. Their salmon skin roll was the best I've ever had. Ever. And based on the aforementioned fresh fish blackboard, I had a piece of yellowtail sashimi which was heaven. The wine list, again pretty small, is impressive. Decent prices...

Moving to London from Vancouver has meant that it has been harder to find the high quality authentic sushi that I've grown used to. Luckily, the Japanese husband/wife duo running Tokiya seems to offer just that! Tokiya Sushi Bar is probably the closest sushi restaurant I've found in London that seems to offer a more purist experience. Here, the emphasis is on traditional nigiri and sushi, rather than cream cheese in sushi rolls, or Americanized behemoth sized sushi. You can often judge the quality of a sushi restaurant based on the nigiri (especially the tamago), and at Tokiya, these were all easily up to par. The rice actually had the proper vinegared flavour, the fish was very fresh, and t... Voir le carte

Tokiya is probably the most traditional Japanese restaurant I've been to in London so far. A lot of items on the menu and food/drink presentation are conventional. We went around 7pm on a Saturday evening but there was no one else. It was interesting that they still asked if we had a reservation and took time to decide which table we should take. Nevertheless, the food quality was very good and we loved everything we had! Chirashi sushi included some fresh seafood of the day like scallop and salmon. We were pretty happy with juicy looking raw fish. Dobin-mushi was served in a classic tea pot. This clear warm soup with seafood and veggie was refreshing with squeezed lemon juice. Nabeyaki Udon...

Don't you hate when you get your hopes all up and then you're kind of let down. Well, after reading three rather promising reviews on this sushi place, my Swiss friend and I decided to give this place a try...alas I have to say that my dinner experience was just average: neither did it really suck but it definitely didn't blow my mind either. For appetizers we ordered the classic dishes: edamame and vegetable tempura. And usually you can't really go wrong with these, but somehow I didn't enjoy either of them: the edamame portion was rather miniscule (for £3) and the tempura was not crispy but soggy...not good! We then had several sushi rolls, which were definitely better than what we had bef...

Mediocrity. It 's not as bad as it seems when it comes to sushi in London. Just had Tokiya Sushi and have to say: why are resturants so cheap with their fish when making maki here? All I 'm asking for is equal parts fish/veggie to rice, not even more fish than rice like I 'd find in the US but this seems like a difficult enough ask. On the upside, their sushi is yum yum yummie, and pretty cheap, affordable by all who have about 10-15 quid to spend on a dinner, but maki, although good, has such a small amount of the fish you order in it, it doesn 't even make sense to order them over the sushi unless you really don 't like fish. Not so good point #2 My dinner-mate got a sushi regular which wa... Voir le carte
