Ichi-Riki
17 Strutton Ground, London, SW1P 2HY
Ichi-Riki is owned and run by Junko Swindley and her husband Paul; it is most unusual to find a lady sushi chef, but she learnt at her father's restaurant in Osaka, mainly by watching the other chefs at work, until they took pity on her enthusiasm and helped her. It is only a tiny basement, but extremely popular, particularly at lunchtime. The quality of the sushi is excellent and you can watch the food being prepared; other hot dishes are equally good, as always the familiar tuna and salmon, however you can find sea urchin and octopus also. They provide exceedingly good value with their sushi set menus, running from £8.50 (Vegetarian) to £15.90, including a bowl of miso soup. It is included in the Round Up section of the 2003 Good Food Guide.Ichi-Riki is owned and run by Junko Swindley and her husband Paul; it is most unusual to find a lady sushi chef, but she learnt at her father's restaurant in Osaka, mainly by watching the other chefs at work, until they took pity on her enthusiasm and helped her.

REVIEWS OF Ichi-Riki
AJ Valleron (27 August 2008)
I read about the Ichi-Riki and a friend of mine told me it was quite good when he went. I would say that things have changed and taken a turn for the worse. My friend and I were there on a Thursday night, the only people in the small restaurant. Apart from the ambiance, the food was quite average. They informed us the salmon was not fresh that evening, so we shouldn't order it. They said they would replace all the salmon platters with tuna, but then gave us salmon anyway. The spicy tuna rolls were tuna rolls with Tabasco sauce - I have never seen this ever. I didn't get sick, but after seeing the state of some of the food coming out I'm a bit surprised.

Nando's - Victoria Cardinal Place
With quality food, friendly staff, quick service and excellent value for money, Nando's is a great place to eat. Don't expect identikit, pre-fab restaurant interiors which are usually a staple of the larger chains; each restaurant is tailored to its local surroundings and customers, offering up a unique restaurant experience to go with the equally unique taste of legendary, Portuguese, Peri-Peri chicken.
