Mai Sushi

Excellent food and service. The food came out relatively quickly and the atmosphere was nice. Would definitely come again.

Incredible family run restaurant. The quality of sushi here is unreal for the price. It's so fresh and the way it's prepared is delicious! Do yourself a favor and try the yellowtail jalapeño!

When it comes to true sushi, sashimi and nigiri you know the taste. The taste of freshness and absolute satisfaction. In the week I was in London, I ate here twice trying almost anything I could thing of. The service was phenomenal and the culture was there too. We sat outside and enjoyed the atmosphere. Large rolls, fresh rice, and cold beer made this one of the best.

This is not a fancy place. BUT, fish is fresh, preparation is excellent, and the service is attentive but not over bearing. And It is a good value.

Best sushi in London. And great price too. Spring rolls came out nice and hot. We got the chef special roll and the spicy tuna and they were soooooo delicious and flavourful. Also fried rice is great with beautiful presentation.

Also service was great! Waitress was so cute and funny and the waiter was HOT!

Highly recommend

I really like Mai sushi, especially for the quality of the sushi compared to the cost!

If you're not sure what to order, choose lots of their fantastic nigiri sushi. Each and every time I have ordered nigiri here all the fish has been fresh, tasty and beautifully presented.

- Unagi: I was sooo happy about their perfect unagi. It was served slightly warm with the perfect sweet soy sauce.
- Amaebi: tasted super fresh. Yum!
- Hottate: I LOVE raw scallops and these did not disappoint
- Hamachi: You don't see yellow tail enough in London - but this was lovely too.
- Saba: This was my least favourite, but it was still good!
- Salmon: Salmon is always good in London, so this was good too.
- We tried lobster maki-sushi as well which I liked (i loved their teeny wasabi balls too!) but it still didn't have quite as amazing flavour as the other nigiri.

I am not sure about the hot dishes as I find it hard to order them when the sushi is this delicious!!

Stopped for lunch after a morning at the British Library. What a hidden gem! My son and I both ordered assorted sushi rolls. Everything was fast, fresh and delicious.

Good prices but sushi quality was just ok (seemed like most of the tuna, salmon was previously frozen). Service was not the best- food came out slow and not together, the chicken katsu for the kids came out 15 minutes after the sushi for the adults. They also forgot to bring out one of the sushi dishes I ordered. Finally, server not very attentive and server never came to check in on us (we had to call them over).

Popped in hoping for a quick sushi craving fix. And BOOM! Just like that it's my new obSUSHIon (get it get it? I did a sushi pun).

Alaska cut roll is the bomb digy! Ordered Bento sushi box - I'm stuffed!!

Seriously tho. Amongst the see of sushi, this place is amazing. Great service, food was served very quickly and it's a solid 9/10. I'd even choose it over Sticks'n'Sushi (another sushi place, but trice as pricey)

Can't fault it. I'm a fan!

Having lived in Kings Cross for nearly 15 years I had heard various rumours of there being a good sushi place nearby. About six months ago I undertook the mission and found it. I am glad that I did. This is the best sushi in the Kings X/Euston area by a mile. Indeed it stands up as being pretty good on a London wise basis. I have now been back 4 times.

The decor is plain - this is neighbourhood restaurant stuff. However, the service is attentive and the money goes into the ingredients. The blackened cod is as good as my wife has had. The Nigiri and hand rolls are excellent, as are the tempura. My only danger is that I liked the stuff I had the first time so much that I haven't been more adventurous with the menu. However the quality looks (from others diners experiences) to carry to all their dishes.

Why not 5 stars? The wine list is v short! Essentially there is a choice of about 5 wines in total, none of which are great. I think they should offer a corkage facility of £5 or £10. It is something I would definitely take advantage of.

Over all though, if you haven't been, and are nearby, give it a shot! I don't think you will be disappointed.
