new bar 'BOHO' serving sushi

[matthew123]

I used to like Asta restuarant on Middlesex Street (10 mins) from Liverpool Street - always full of Japanese customers. Good value and tasty bento boxes to eat at lunch. More variety and better quality than the Asta takeaway / sandwich shop between Liverpool St and Moorgate.

What can we deduce from this thread as the relentless Google search engine indexer crawls over this site finding the key words best sushi restaurant London and figuring given the hits that EDF gets it?s important and puts it up to the top of search results.

The wisdom of crowds and the good nature of the British when given a challenge to worry out the solution (Bletchley Park anyone ?) meant as soon as SKS threatened to go to the grave his lips sealed then the combo of a knowledgeable community + challenge meant the name would be revealed.

So the name is here - of that I am certain ? now SKS reveal the name and ruin one or keep silent and ruin them all ? the fate of authentic Japanese sushi lies in your hands.

As Homer once remarked "Fugu me".

A Brazilian bar serving sushi?? Might be me but I wouldn't be rushing out to try it. Part of the experience is the environment so you wouldn't find me going to the ritz for a indian curry for example. Good luck to them anyway.

Mainly swordfish - and if you're using fish from a reputable source you should be fine.

Can someone tell me where this BOHO bar is actually situated...some reference pt will be helpful.:)

I'll take my Japanese friend with me on Sat & she can judge the food.

[HonaloochieB]

It's just along from Somerfield on LL, crikey you don't suppose they'll get their fish there, do you?

[*Bob*]

I wonder.. will Boho be able to retain the sevices of a top sushi chef*?

*a fishmonger who can 'do shapes'

[Siduhe]

It's the old arcade on Lordship Lane. There's a link to their website on the first page:

[Walker]

Hi its 52 Lordship Lane, SE22 8HJ

(opposite Foxtons)

www.boho-bar.com

[Sue]

Interesting website, though no mention of things like food, prices or menus :)

Thanks, I'll have the Chinese proverb please (with whose sentiments I fully agree and in fact adhere to :)) )

Let's hope there's not more than one Chinese proverb up as I couldn't be arsed to watch the whole lot .....

[Walker]

Full menus and prices and fuller website will be up for next week x

From Monday BOHO will be open in the day from 12 noon onwards

[chica1]

Does this mean it's like an open house? What time? Sample food? More info please.

[MrBen]

Have I missed something? No ED Forum first night reviews of Boho?

Anyone been or are you all still hiding in your houses from CRIME?

[Ted Max]

The sushi was so good, nobody's letting on.

[Mick Mac]

Myself and a mate went in Friday night and walked straight back out again - very noisy. The guy on the door said "its well sound proofed isn't it". True - you open the door and are hit by a wall of sound.

Seemed busy though. Suspect it and Liqourish will share customers, although Liqourish was quieter and we could hear ourselves speak. Adventure Bar may suffer though with a competitor on the same side of the road.

More variety is good though.

Will someone please explain to me what the attraction is in eating sushi, I must admit it looks lovely, but it tastes revolting, I have tried it several times and they all taste the same!! fishy......

A Brazilian bar serving sushi??

Brazil has a long history of catering to their huge Japanese population. Thousands of Japanese emigrants traveled to South America to work coffee plantations in the early 20th century and now they have the largest Japanese population outside of Japan. The integration of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cultures is a big part of Brazilian cuisine today, much like "American-ized" Mexican food and "British-ized" Indian food. There are chains of Brazilian/Japanese restaurants in the US, my favorite being Sushi Samba in New York.

So I'm hoping Boho, if they are a Brazilian place, will take their sushi very, very seriously. Anyone tired it yet? How are the prices?

[Jeremy]

Ismelstar, I admire your optimism.

My interpretation was that the sushi is very much an afterthought, in an attempt to fill a gap in the market.

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

Ismelstar is pretty spot on there.
