Sushiya Cornerstone

The restaurant hop in the pursuit of decent sushi took my friend and I to Sushi Ya. Every time I've walked down Clarence, I've wanted to eat here, so the opportunity arose after starting the evening with bad sushi elsewhere. What a charming place. Its cozy and lined with a mirror wall to make it brighter inside. After checking the menu, our server started with a plate of edaname, followed by a not too salty miso soup that contained small cubes of tofu and finely sliced green onions. These dishes by the way weren't something we had ordered, they were included as part of the meal! Our medium sushi/sashimi pate followed after not too long of a wait. A rose was added to the plate in a nest of radish and carrot...beautiful presentation! The cuts of fish were fresh and of a decent sized portion and all the sushi was beautifully uniform. Wasabi was paired with a sweet rather than salty soy sauce which was a delightful and unexpected taste surprise which I loved. My friend had a hot pot of tea and I had a glass of water which was refilled when needed...our server was attentive, yet unobtrusive. Another family came in and sat behind us. They ordered different types of Bento boxes, so the next time we go, I'm going to give that a try. The chef and the server are a couple, so this is a family-owned and operated business. If you are seeking fresh, well-prepared Japanese food in a clean and quiet atmosphere, Sushi Ya won't disappoint! Sushi Yeah! and Sushi Yaaayyy! 😋❤🍣 I WILL be back many times and make sure to sample their very extensive menu. Thank-you for making my friend's last good meal in London (he's moving) enjoyable and memorable!

The only place we get sushi. Very kind family runs the business. Emphasis on quality over quantity (which, if you've only ever done "all you can eat" sushi you're in for a treat). Prices are also very reasonable - good value overall. They are good at making gluten free orders. I appreciate most sushi is gluten free naturally; but they take care not to mix the crispy bits of tempura or any soy sauce. I have celiac and have never been sick. They even give me a separate container of naturally gluten free Tamari with my take out instead of soy sauce. They'll also do the spicy salmon sans crispy if you ask.
