I had an awesome meal delivered from Sushi 54 the other day.
They have cracked the way to deliver sushi and make it nice.
Salmon Skin Maki, Eel Nigiri and Chicken Gyoza are 'non-negotiable' items in any order now.
They say on the menu that they don't accept substitutions for items on the set boxes and they don't unless you're eating there and you're very nice to them - so get over it.
They missed out on 5 stars as the Prawn udon soup noodle tasted excellent but could have used a bit of fresh vegetable in there. Always room for improvement.
Just ordered takeaway from Sushi 54, and felt compelled to review it. I ordered the 14 piece salmon set, and I was astounded by the quality and amount for £11.50. Now, this isn't bargain basement for a lunch, but it's not far off for sushi. The salmon was excellent, some of the best I've had, and it was all very generously cut - the sashimi across the whole fillet, the nigiri draped so that each piece was as much fish as rice, both very good signs. It was also beautifully presented, which is tricky for takeaway but they managed it with style.Service was swift, if a bit mumbly and joyless, but it's all about the fish, and this was simply superb. I will be back, and I'll take friends with me.
When trying to purchase a large bento box for delivery, I asked to speak to the manager Alex, and explained politely that I don't eat chicken (one of the features of the otherwise wholly fish based box, was 2 small portions of chicken gyoza's. I expected him to happily offer an alternative. Oh what wishful thinking. He was cold and rude in his tone, specifying from the offset that he was unable to substitute the two portions of chicken gyoza (market value of £2) for any other food-he said it was impossible to do so and remarked, 'it was not his fault I didn't want to eat chicken'.
Having parents who own restaurants themselves, his attitude was hard to fathom-he was rude and unresponsive and his comments, ridiculous.
I asked to speak to someone else, the owner perhaps, to which he predicatedly replied he WAS the owner, one would think he thus had an incentive to be polite and accomodating to customers-especially those who are not only just customers but also journalists-not a good move. I was most polite to him and felt my request was perfectly fair and reasonable.
In this day and age, with nut allergies and special dietary requirements ubiquitous facets of modern day living, asking for a substitute when one does not eat meat is perfectly reasonable. When pushed, he offered me some edamame. He can keep them. I urge anyone who believes in freedom of choice to most definately choose NOT to dine at Sushi 54 in Putney...now where did I put my Yo Sushi take away list....
I adore sushi and have eaten here many times since it opened, I go time and time again because it is absolutely delicious!
The fish is always fresh and is it so beautifully presented you almost can't bear to ruin it! The menu is extensive and everytime I go, I try and have something new with a few of the old favourites thrown in. The chicken gyozas must be tried, they are served with a special gyoza sauce and a light chilli oil, dip in the oil first then the sauce, mmmm yum! My mouth is just watering thinking about it! Other favourites include marinated salmon nigiri, the mexican futo maki roll with melted mozza, salmon and jalapenos - delicious. I recently tried the vegetable soba noodle salad which was really fresh and refreshing, the soups are also really good, my favourite is the tiger prawn one. The spicy tuna is delicious, as well as the seared tuna with a more-ish sauce that I always end up drinking it's so good... everything is yummy to be honest!
If you haven't been already, you really must go, you won't be disapointed!
This is a great Sushi bar. The staff are friendly and most importantly the sushi is fantastic.
The fish is much fresher than I've tasted elsewhere - I was really impressed by the attention to detail.
Highly recommended, especially since their delivery service is so good as well.
Finally a local sushi restaurant in Putney that serves quality food, has a very relaxed ambience and delivers. Just what this area needed.
I never write these type of reviews but I really felt compelled to speak this restaurants praises. I recently went to try out this new Sushi restaurant and I was very impressed by the menu and the service I received. The price for the quality of food was very reasonable and I was very intrigued by the combination of traditional sushi dishes with alternative outlooks to sushi.
I recommend trying the mexican futo maki. It is absolutely divine!!!!!
Took my girlfriend to sushi 54 to start her birthday night out coz she loves sushi. I was never that much of a fan but I am a very good and considerate boyfriend! I might have to change my mind about sushi though coz this place was so much better than I expected. GF ordered for us and we had mixed sashimi. It was unbelievable. I even, after telling the waitress I didn't like sushi when we ordered, halfway through got her back and made her get me some more tuna sashimi NOW, which made her laugh! Anyway, the whole meal came to £32 for the both of us with beers and everything. Oh, and some japanese coleslaw thingy too. Really good value I thought, which is more than I can say for the dive of a club we ended up in later on. How can you charge over a tenner to get into a club in Putney of all places? Won't say the name of the place, but it rhymes with "the bez club".
Anyway, back to the sushi restaurant. I'm gonna try the delievery service this weekend - hope it's as good as the place itself. Lovely people who obviously cared about what we thought, great food, and lots of lovely brownie points for me from my better half. Job done.
If you're a fan of sushi then this is one place that should certainly cater for your needs. My first time visiting there but I will certainly be back! The menu has a modern twist as well as the more original versions of ushi faves like Nigiri, Sashimi and even new variations that work well. The meu's big and I'd definitely recommend the soba noodle salad. The service is swift and efficient. Only small criticism I'd make is that the restaurant itself isn't in central London so you need to get the bus out to Putney if you're not a local. But don't let that put you off. I find it's well worth the journey. Some of the best sushi I have had in London!
