My favourite sushi place in London - excellent food, reasonable prices, and it feels very authentic. There’s a couple of other Kulu Kulu’s around, but I have found the Brewer St one is the best.
I went to Kulu Kulu with a friend on an uninspiring day in February having read mixed reviews but a good recommendation from a friend.
It was great, enough for us to eat 19 plates of sushi between us! The decor is uninspiring but it is made up for by the satisfyingly fresh food. This place is everything yo sushi wants to be.
It was really good value for money, the place and the food was clean and the staff were polite and friendly. Worth the wait for a table which just proved its popularity was deserved.
I was at Kulu Kulu Sushi in 1998 and 1999 and it was the best ever! Now I came back in May 2007 and it still looked the same. Unfortunately the food is not that tasty anymore, just average.
After reading some rather unenthusiastic reviews for YO! Sushi I decided to opt for Kulu Kulu Sushi to see what they had to offer. Don't allow the rather uninspred surroundings put you off. The quality and price of the food on offer was fantastic.
Everything my group tried at Kulu Kulu Sushi was fresh and delicious. You can help yourself to as much green tea as you like and a dazzling array of condiments and neccesities are within easy reach. The average price for food and drink was £10.00 per person and we were hungry. Each of us had a rather embarressing stack of plates in front of us by the end of the meal! Arrive early between 12:00 and 12:30 to get seats together.
The initial impression upon entering Kulu Kulu Sushi was that of a basic eatery with tired decor. The service was indifferent with no offer of drinks or explanation of procedures. We discovered the plate pricing just before leaving which was all very reasonable and on a par with Gili Gulu price wise, but a very poor second on quality of the food.
The chef was using his bare hands to prepare the sushi and was scooping rice from various containers. Plus, all items on the conveyor belt were uncovered. The tempura chicken had uncooked pieces in it. When we pointed this out to the host, he agreed that it was not cooked and offered to cook more, but there was no apology. We settled up and left. Kulu Kulu Sushi is a never again experience.
Kulu Kulu Sushi isby far the best sushi in town. This is no frills fast food at its freshest and worth the short wait if there's a queue.
My partner and I decided to sample Sushi for the 1st time and after reading good reviews tried Kulu Kulu Sushi...I was a little disappointed with the service from the waitress, who took an age to seat us and then didn't come back to take a drink order. I think it was more to do with the fact that we didn't arrive until late, nearly 10pm (staff were starting to clear up!). We were disappointed with the shabbiness of the restaurant too...but I agree with others, there was a charm about Kulu Kulu! However the food was delicious and the atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly, we would definitely go again...we'll be trying other restaurants serving sushi very soon, but Kulu Kulu was a friendly inexpensive introduction to good food.
I am huge fan of Kulu Kulu Sushi! My friends and I try to get there a couple of times a month. The salmon sashima is wonderfully fresh and the handrolls are sensational!
Watching the sushi prepared in front of you is fascinating and the staff are friendly and efficient. I particularly appreciate the cleanliness of Kulu Kulu Sushi as I often find this lacking in London's eating out venues. Kulu Kulu Sushi's got my vote!
