If you are looking for a quick & healthy bite to eat, then this is the place to come. I bought the salmon sashimi box with veggie dumpling soup, some fresh berry juice and popcorn. The salmon sashimi box comes with a salad(I didn’t really want the salad just the salmon) it was good nevertheless, the salmon was a little warm, but that could have been down to having the soup on top =D The soup was really nice, to describe: miso, with veg and dumplings. Really filling and quite tasty. The juice was very random, it is fresh, so you do need to shake it up a few times, not sure if I am a huge fan of the juice, but it’s cheaper than an innocent smoothie =) My order came to £11, which tbh put me off slightly, I would have preferred a meal at Wagamama if there was one near by :) not a cheap lunch if that’s what you are after.

At lunchtime, I sometimes aimlessly wander around Goodge Street /Tottenham Court Road /Charlotte Street in a fog of hunger, unable to decide what to eat, until I end up at one of my three fallback choices — Pret /Eat /Itsu. Today, I fought back against the hunger and wandered in Abokado, which is slightly outside my 500 yard wandering radius. Boy, I’m glad I did. Their offering is similar to Itsu; boxes of sushi, big tubs of soup and fruit juices, but they manage to deliver the same massive portion for about £2−3 cheaper. WIN. I grabbed a ‘Simply Salmon’ box(salmon sashimi, nigiri and maki) and a sweet chilli, salmon and fresh dill shwrap(same concept as a hand roll). Everything has the calorie, saturated fat and total fat count listed next to it on the shelf and by the looks of it, it was all fairly healthy. What did it all taste like? Fresh goodness. The rice was on the right side of chewy and not like the crumbly rice you get in Pret’s pre-packaged sushi. The salmon was lovely — not quite melt in your mouth, but not bad for a lunchtime joint. The sushi box came with a rocket and carrot salad and I have to say that the rocket was quite strong, almost too strong. But that’s clearly Mother Nature’s fault, not Abokado’s.
