Aoki Sushi

This place might not look super appealing from the outside but inside it’s lovely — traditional Japanese seating (so be prepared to sit on a wooden stool) and a nice atmosphere. We were in for a weekday lunch on a Wednesday and arrived early, within about 30 minutes the place was totally full so it’s worth keeping that in mind if you’re keen to eat in. (Note: they take reservations via the Unilocal app, I didn’t use that feature as we were already on our way but I’d recommend it if you want to guarantee a seat!).
The lunch menu is pretty simple and we ended up all having bento boxes. There was one bento box listed on the menu but there was actually two available which I found a little confusing — one is simply sushi and sashimi, and then there was a hot option with beef. We all had the sushi and sashimi bento, and got a platter of sashimi to share as well (greedy!). If you want a drink it is just € 1 on top of the bento price so it’s a good lunch deal for just under € 10 each.
The food was lush — fresh, soft, succulent and delicious. I was really impressed. I normally don’t really love sushi as I prefer just the fish, but the rice here was done perfectly and was really pleasant. For the price I thought the portion size was spot on, and I was comfortably full after the bento + extra sashimi (I am greedy though, you probably don’t need to order any more than just the bento. Oink). I really can’t fault this place — so BOOM, 5 stars.

Two firsts for me, using Deliveroo and Aoki sushi!
Really fresh ingredients, the salmon sashimi was cut a little thicker than some other places but delicious all the same. Served with two pieces of sushi and a generous helping of ginger and wasabi I’d highly recommend it.
Also had the seafood futomaki, really fresh fish used and a good variety too. Only thing I didn’t like was a creamy sauce they had garnished it with.
Portions were really generous, larger than I expected! Wouldn’t order as much the next time!

Ok i’m not really a Sushi person so reviewing this based upon the bento box and the Teriyaki beef I had here.
They were ok, but nothing special to be honest. My wife says the sushi is pretty amazing here though so if you like sushi give it a try!

Excellent first visit to Aoki.
I had been waiting in anticipation since the sign went up for it to open. And I finally spotted the first review which talked a lunch they had here. Hurrah!
I dragged two colleagues along and we got our gyoza on. They also ordered a bento box each and I went for the tuna avocado roll. Which was very nice.
We bumped into an former colleague who was back for some take out after trying it the day before. Another fan too.
I expect I’ll be popping into Aoki on my way home from work for take out, as I pass it’s door on my daily walking commute.
I’m a fan.

A quiet, reasonable sushi place for lunch! I love Zakura as much as the other yuppies around Camden Street, but Aoki was such a nice change of pace!
The place is small, quiet, and really nicely decorated. The staff greet you, are really nice, and thank you when you leave — even the sushi chef! Great customer service and fairly quick too!
We got the daily special of gyoza bento box and veggie tempura! The veggie tempura was good, but small-​ish in size compared to other restaurants. The bento box was great though — 5 pieces of gyoza, lots of noodles, 2 tuna maki pieces with golden radish (I think!), fresh salad, and soup. All for 8.50 quid, so prices are similar to other places too!
I will definitely be back to get sushi rolls, but to be fair, their menu is pretty big. You’ll definitely find something you’re into.
