"In this tiny room, with literally 8 seats in total for paying customers (3 at the bar, 5 at the window), you are served food painstakingly prepared to order by one chef, and served by his charming wife, and if you are lucky enough to have a seat at the bar you can watch the whole fascinating process up-close."

"Stunning. Beautiful. Inspired. There was so much to love about Sushi of Shiori, the attention to detail, the cosy surroundings, the visual engagement of the experience, exciting and ultimately satisfying. I tell you what, I’ve not been moved by a restaurant meal for quite a while now, this one was so uplifting." READ REVIEW

"Our sashimi lunch set was crafted in front of us - artful curls of daikon slipped in between slices of hamachi (yellowtail), and even little 3D butterflies crafted from yet more daikon and carrot rested on shimmeringly-fresh pieces of salmon." READ REVIEW
