Sushi No Mai

I have been eating at Sushi No Mai since they were in the old Watford Market place. It's always such a treat for all my visits. Staff are friendly and food is delicious. Sadly, the head chef who made sushi and sashimi passed away about 6 months ago hence the shorter menu. There are fresh sashimi salmon and tuna if you are after sashimi. The usual cooked dishes like Katsu curry, Tempura, Ramen, Teriyaki don and lunch special bento are still available and delicious. The waiting time is longer than usual so be patient with the new adjusted team. If you fancy some authentic Japanese food, Sushi No Mai is the place for you!!!

Got to the restaurant before closing time and were met with a queue, by the time we got to the front of the queue - we were told they weren’t taking any more customers, which was frustrating. We picked up a takeaway platter, which was well priced (£25) and quality of the sushi was really good for the price. Would definitely revisit to try the full menu!

I want to give this place a bad review so the queue gets shorter and I can get back in easier! It might not look like much from the outside but there's a reason why this place is packed from the moment it opens. Fantastic food, friendly helpful staff and unbelievable value for money. Every single dish we ordered (sashimi, sushi, tempura, miso) was full of flavour and freshly prepared. I can't recommend this place highly enough.
