This restaurant is just off the main street alongside the stations, and opens into a foyer with a large fish tank. Inside, there is plenty of seating stretching past the sushi counter, and takes in a raised area with sunken seats <small>[http://flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/2614259371/ photo]</small> at tables seating around 6 people. On a Tuesday evening at 8pm, the place wasn't too busy and we were easily seated. |

A large selection of food was sampled, both side dishes and mains and the total price worked out at just over £20 each, including a modest amount of alcohol. Of the side dishes, vegetable tempura was good, hot and crisp but a bit greasy, while the agedashi tofu was fine. The kimchee was generally adjudged to be excellent, with good vegetable texture and chilli flavour as well as heat, and several reorders were made. |

Avocado handrolls were served in a neat little wooden stand to hold the cone-like shapes upright, and was really very good indeed. In general, the rice in the nigiri and rolls was fine, certainly nothing to complain about. The fish was mushy, particularly the seabass, though the mackerel was OK. [[Kake]] suspects freezing issues, so would suggest sticking to the fattier fish. |

Of drinks, standard beers (Sapporo, Asahi, and Kirin, all £2.50) were available. They also had plum wine (£2.20 per glass), and [http://flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/2615923708/ various flavours] of bubble tea (all £2.20). The sake choice was limited to "hot" or "cold"; (£4 for a quarter-bottle and £6.50 for a half-bottle). We had it hot, and it was fine. The house red wine (Marques de Leon, can't remember the price but about £12) was drinkable but not particularly good. |

[[Ewan]]'s verdict: Perhaps not worth a trip across London, but for those in the south-east, this is an excellent and good value choice for sushi. |

[[Kake]]'s verdict: I'd come back if I happened to be in Catford again, but would probably stick to the vegetarian sushi and the hot dishes next time. |
