Moshi Moshi Sushi

It’s an hidden gem in the Station! can’t believe we’ve been living in the area for 8 years and didn’t know about this place! Came in quite late so had to wait a bit before getting a table. Not the most welcoming service but they were understaffed and they all look very tired. It’s a hard time for both retail and hospitality so it’s understandable. It was a party of three and we all agreed that the tempura was a big disappointment. It wasn’t crispy at all… the meat was mushy. We ordered a £50 worth of sushi bowl. It looks pretty good for the price. To my asian standard the fish are not very fresh. Tuna look a bit off but the taste were alright. Had to remove a star for the food quality. The setting though!!!! So cool and special!!! I love it so much I wanted to meet and shake hands with the designer 😂 Love love love the layout, it shows the vide of an authentic Japanese bar. Some seats can overlook the train station meanwhile some have these high ceiling wood interior designs. The layout give some good privacy. Recommended for gathering or a date night to impress.

For the food quality, service and price, Moshi Moshi is an average 3 out of 5. It’s got a lot of things going for it but simply doesn’t deliver the experience you’d expect. When ordering, the waiter having to ask the chef if there was 3-kinds of sashimi available was a red flag (this was on a Thursday at around 7pm). The sashimi that arrived was dismal for £16. Moreover during the dining experience, a dish was mixed up and another never came. The staff were busy and trying their best. Waiter provided enthusiastic service and was proactive in resolving the mixups. The grilled yellow tail cheek was good and so were the soft shell crab and salmon skin hand rolls. Rest of the sushi was average although the hint of scallion / ginger garnish on the mackerel was an authentic touch. The faux unagi is not my cup of tea - why they don’t serve real unagi and tuna is good for the earth but bad for business. My advice to the restaurant would be to simplify the menu and be more open to the sourcing of ingredients. Ditch the sake warming jug which makes the 130ml hot sake serving become a lackluster experience (comes literally half full) and a heavier than necessary burden for staff. Consider getting an Asahi draft dispenser in a visible area - ditch the Kirin, Asahi, Sapporo options on the menu, especially if they aren’t in stock. The location and view from this restaurant is quite special. Hope it can improve and succeed. Update: ended up getting diarrhea after eating here. First time at a sushi place in London. Not good.

Surprisingly very authentic sushi - great quality, tasted delicious. We ordered £60 worth of sushi which they gave us this beautifully presented boat and we gave our preference of more salmon than tuna! Will go back again
