 Went to a Japanese restaurant near Old Street tonight for A's birthday. Walking there was the kind of searching stroll where you start wondering if you really are in the right parts of town... All closed storefronts, boarded up doors, worn old buildings. Can there really be a great Japanese place in these surroundings?

[[itsbruce]] worked a few minutes' walk from this place for several years, and tried to come here once a week. Lovely food.
 Oh yes. Very much so.

[http://manne.typepad.com/tummyrumble/ Manne] visited with some friends in August 2007. The highlights of our meal were yellowtail with jalapeno, lovely seared toro (fatty tuna, it really tasted and felt like the most tender meat I'd ever eaten), and scallops with spicy creamy sauce. The staff were very friendly.
 I arrived early, and was greeted by the very friendly staff. They brought me a Kirin and some very simple menus. Soon A&A arrived and our sushi and sashimi porn fest began. There is really no other way of describing it. I had so much sashimi tonight it made me feel dirty. In a really good and morish way.

Manne's verdict: Amazing. Some of the best sushi I have ever had. This is a must visit for anyone who loves sushi, those who want to have some really good sushi, virgins who won't mind trying sushi to see what the fuss is about or even food cowards who shudder at the thought of raw fish. Heck, even you who absolutely abhor sushi should go here. Pham Sushi will make you change your mind.

This is a must visit for anyone who loves sushi, those who want to have some really good sushi, virgins who won't mind trying sushi to see what the fuzz is about or even food cowards who shudder at the thought of raw fish. Heck, even you who absolutely abhor sushi should go here. Pham Sushi will make you change your mind.

They also offer takeaway, and will deliver within 1 mile radius of the restaurant. Last delivery orders 9:45pm. Note that they're closed on Sundays.
