Review for the 15/8: Another wonderful and speedy meal. I arrived just before 11 a.m. and they were already open, welcoming me in without hesitation. I ordered the 3 nigiri set – unagi, grilled salmon, and spicy salmon – each perfectly fresh and flavourful, with two satisfying, bite-sized pieces each. The tuna corn salad inari reminded me of a tuna sweetcorn sandwich filling, but far tastier and with a lovely sushi twist. The wasabi baby octopus inari had a different texture that some might find unusual, but I enjoyed it. The ebi tempura nigiri was just as excellent as last time – crisp, fresh, and generously portioned. Everything was served quickly in a takeaway container, with wasabi, ginger, and cutlery provided. The only thing missing was soy sauce. Overall, just like my first visit, everything tasted fresh and delicious. Sushi Joy continues to impress. Review beginning of August Opening at 11:30 AM, this hidden gem is literally a hole-in-the-wall spot located just off the main road, opposite one of the Square tube stops. Despite its unassuming appearance, there’s already a small queue forming by opening time. The shop features a display of various Japanese bites, all reasonably priced (I paid around £14 in total), and I found the overall taste to be very good. However, the presentation does take a hit once you take it away. For example, the Salmon Dragon Roll Maki, though generous in size (took me six bites to finish), ended up a bit squashed in the takeaway box, making it look less appealing than it did on display. Here’s a quick breakdown of what I tried: • Unagi Nigiri: Nicely flavoured, though the portion of eel was quite small—just enough to get a taste but not enough to fully enjoy. • Wasabi Baby Octopus: Slightly too sweet for my liking, and the octopus portion was light compared to the large amount of rice underneath. Still, not bad overall. • Grilled Tamagoyaki: The crispy top was a little hard and dry, but dipping it in soy sauce helped. Decent, though not the standout. • Jellyfish Nigiri: Surprisingly good! Slightly sweet, but the rice-to-jellyfish ratio was much better than the baby octopus, making it a more balanced bite. • Fried Ebi Nigiri: Easily the best dish I had. A large, perfectly cooked tempura prawn on a smaller bed of rice—crispy, hot, and delicious. • Salmon Dragon Roll Maki: A generous portion, well-prepared with a good balance of ingredients inside. Tasted great, though again, a bit squashed in the takeaway box. Overall, this is one of the better-value Japanese takeaway spots I’ve tried in London. It’s perfect for grabbing a variety of small bites and bringing them home to share—just make sure you have your own soy sauce, as they don’t include any (though you do get small sachets of wasabi and pickled ginger). The menu focuses on three main categories: Nigiri, Inari Maki Rolls, and Onigiri, with the grilled Tamagoyaki as a standout side was average . It’s takeaway-only, served through a simple counter win...
