Negi & Nori

Authentic Japanese Delights at Great Value

Imagine a somewhat unassuming hideaway slotted between the heartbeat of London, not too far from Hoxton Station, where Negi & Nori sits snugly—offering a respite to both Japanese cuisine aficionados and adventurous gourmands. From the outside, it’s easily missed which adds to its charm; one often stumbles upon gems when they’re least expected. Inside, you are wrapped up in a casual yet inviting atmosphere that whispers sweet promises of what’s to come. The sound of hungry diners echoes alongside the light chatter of its infectious ambiance—a delightful chorus to accompany your supper symphony.

Ah, the menu! A tapestry rich with Japanese treasures: the delicate swoon of Tokyo Rolls, ribbons of sashimi, and ramen bowls that gleefully warm the soul. Prawn gyozas here strike an exhilarating cord; juicy pockets packing just the right punch. They let go neither on quality nor on the price tag—a surprising London rarity. Not only do they nail the classic offerings, but bring-your-own-bottle (BYOB) quirk provides an economical relish to any dining excursion. As with any favourite haunt, the service is ever attentive and always competent—a true testament to the owner’s spirit who seems to care deeply about each customer walking out content. For anyone craving more than just fresh sushi or the perfect umami punch from hearty ramen, perhaps it’s the balance that clinches this spot as future ‘must-dine’ territory every time you’re in town. — Milo Tastemaker
