Sushi in SE22?

[davidhealy]

Hi

Just moved to SE22, and whilst we seem to have a plethora of indian, thai, gastropub, etc dining options there are no Japanese/Sushi Restaurants?!

I have heard of Edo in Crystal Palace ..... is it worth a trip as they dont deliver to ED?

Also are there any local gems I am currently unaware of ..... any guidance welcome?

none that I know of Dave - although the fishmonger does sell "sushi-grade" tuna and others so you migh be best to get the old knives out yourself

[davidhealy]

Thanks ...... I did see that but my skills are a little limited at the moment ..... and what a waste of good tuna that would be!

[Jah Lush]

Raw fish....Yuk!!!!

I'd love a Japanese restaurant in the vicinity if anyone out there with the wherewithall is listening.

[Keef]

I'm with Jah! :-S

[TillieTrotter]

There is a sushi stall on Northcross Road. Dont know what its like or opening times though.

Jah, Keef: take the plunge. It's great stuff.

I'd love a Japanese restaurant, especially if they went beyond just sushi.

Edo in Crystal Palace is OK. The sushi is above average (by London standards), but not cheap. The noodle and rice dishes are good value though. It's worth a trip if you have a car or bike.

While i'm quite partial to a bit of good sushi, i think we are more in need of a decent italian before we get to the japanese.... and yes, i know this has already been debated to death....

Edo do deliver to ED - but it's free delivery only within a 3 mile range, although unfortunately the 3 miles radius rnds roughly at the junction of LL and Lordship Lane. Recommended for the Beef Teriyaki!

Edo is What the japanese may call malaysian sushi - run/ owned by Thais, but not too bad

[Keef]

Lordship Bod, a new Italian has just opened on Forest Hill Road.

Try the Fujiyama restaurant in Brixton for japanese - www.newfujiyama.com They deliver to SE22 and the food is lovely. They do sushi, ramen and noodles. Not sure what the sushi is like but their yaki soba and their prawn katsu are delicious!

Jeremy. It takes me about ten mins by bus to crystal palace. You saying thats too much ?

[Jeremy]

Are you at the Harvester end of ED then, Sean? Does the 197 go to Crystal Palace? Or is it another one?

But if people live at the other end of ED and the journey isn't convenient, then they might be better off going into town where they can get something better and cheaper.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I know - was just teasing...

But yeah I am up that end. That said if I was Goose Green end then the train from ED or a quick hop across ED Road to catch a 63 or 363 will get you there pretty quickly as well

[Parker's Folly]

The 363 bus goes all the way to Crystal Palace. You can catch it in Peckham, anywhere along the Rye and Forest Hill Road and then up past the cemetary and back to the South Circular junction with Lordship Lane and then on to Crystal Palace.

Its actually a very quick journey most times - 15 to 20 min max.

cheers Keef, will give it a go :)

>roughly at the junction of LL and Lordship Lane

Erm... What was this meant to say?

[SimonM]

>roughly at the junction of LL and Lordship Lane

Sapporo Ichiban in Catford is very good; sushi, sashimi and all the other usual stuff - noodles, teriyaki etc. It's not that far from ED - admittedly we always drive.

Its maybe not japanese but I went to Buddah Jazz last night nr Denmark hill and for the second time had an absolutely superb meal. 3 courses, bottle of wine 2 people ?45.

Really really good. really fresh. lovely people too.

[val]

What kind of food do they do?

[mockney piers]

Vietnamese with a bit of fusion. Lovely friendly people and good food. A bit of a favourite of mine.

Get the seared beef or goat with plantain and the chili eel for starters, choice morsels indeed.
