Me Love Sushi

An interesting Japanese takeaway concept has quickly blossomed into one of London's latest and most enticing dining destinations. The Me Love Sushi group operates three 'Sushi To Go' outlets, and has opened its first restaurant with a champagne and sake bar in Swiss Cottage.

You could call it a sushi takeaway or delivery but Me Love Sushi prefers to call their service Sushi To Go, which involves placing orders directly from their website, or making a simple phone call to enjoy the exotic delicacy in the comfort of your home or office.

Stop visualising conveyor belts and food appearing before you as if by magic because the Me Love Sushi restaurant experience is more relaxed yet stylish and sophisticated.

Some decisions in life are not too difficult to take, especially if all your options present you with a chance to enjoy great food. All you need to do is to choose between the 'Sushi To Go' free delivery service, or visit their restaurant and bar to sample dishes that are taking the city by storm.

The contemporary dining room provides customers with a choice of two seating areas, on chic wooden benches and communal tables that are perfect for groups of friends, or on dining chairs at smaller tables for a more romantic mealtime.

When it comes to the food, experienced chefs hand-roll the freshest fish and fine ingredients to create delicious sushi. And if you think that Me Love Sushi is only about raw fish think again, for on offer is an array of hot treats that include tempura, skewers, and noodles.

The interestingly named 'love to tease' selection is a variety of small dishes that promise to get you into the mood for love - or 'melove' to be more precise - these include crispy tuna tatiki or seared tuna fried in breadcrumbs, gyoza dumplings filled with a choice of king prawn, chicken or vegetables, and a Japanese style wafu salad with the restaurant's very own salad dressing.

Once the stage is set you could choose from a huge range of healthy options such as a sashimi platter, hosomaki that are seaweed rolls of rice stuffed with fish or vegetables; futomaki like the phoenix roll where sliced salmon, tuna, sea bass, cucumber and flying fish roe is fried in a tempura batter, or temaki, large cone-shaped hand rolls stuffed with delights like deep-fried king prawn, sliced avocado, and Japanese mayonnaise topped with tobiko.

Choose between pan-fried noodles with seasonal vegetables and shredded duck, or a fantastic black cod with miso if you're looking for something more substantial.

Once you finish you could consider visiting the first-floor bar to linger on some old and rare sakes or signature cocktails like the saketini or shochu that have quite a few enthusiasts queuing up. The peaceful ambience and soothing music help to provide an enjoyable experience.

Me Love Sushi plans to open four more restaurants and bars in the capital. For more information and the latest news and offers visit their Website where you will also come across their lovely message, 'we want you to love sushi as much as melovesushi'.
