| Last reviewed: May 2026 Hidden in a Carré d'Or cul-de-sac, this neon-lit izakaya-sushi counter is run by Alexis Luong - 2021 French sushi champion, ex-Nobu London - and sake sommelier Alex Couvidat. Tight bar seating, grilled skewers and pristine nigiri paired with a carefully kept sake list. Books out fast and trades entirely on craft.
