A taste of Japan

One of the best experience of my life was the time I spent in Japan. From the people, culture, scenery, history and of course the food. It isn’t that easy to find good authentic Japanese food outside of Japan but thanks to a friend’s recommendation a Japanese gem in London has been located.
 
Oushi Eatery
All you can eat Japanese buffet restaurant
40 Frith Street
Soho
London W1D 5LN
Tel: 020 7734 9635
 
 
This place is great! It is all you can eat sushi, which I didn’t even know existed!
 
How it works.
You get a 2 little pieces of paper and tick what hot food and what sushi you would like and then you can just keep reordering the sushi if you want to. It is great!


 
The amount of hot food dishes you get depends on the amount of people you come with. We had 5 so the price included 8 options of hot food and then what seemed like endless rounds of sushi. The quality of all the food was exceptional but the sushi really stood out.
 
We got
King prawn tempura
 
 
Sweet potato and mixed vegetable tempura
 
 
Japanese spring roll and tofu steaks
 
 
Beef teriyaki
 
 
Chicken Gyoza and Vegetable Gyoza
 

 
Salmon Nigiri, Soft shell crab roll, California roll, Salmon avocado roll, Avocado roll, Inari cucmber roll
 
 
Butterfish Sashimi, Salmon sashimi, Salmon Nigiri, Salmon avocado roll, California roll, Inari cucmber roll, Avocado roll
 
 
By the end of it we were so full and if we wanted we could have had four more rounds of sushi! The food just keeps appearing. I can guarantee this is one time you won't leaving hungry.

The only point I will give though is don't order more than you can eat. If you leave a certain amount they charge £5 extra per head to avoid waste.

 
I suggest getting a bigger group together so you get to sit downstairs. We had five people and it felt like a good number to try a lot of different stuff. The down stairs has a great, very authentic atmosphere with recessed seating. It felt like being back in Japan.
 
It is a little pricey. Weekday prices £17.80 and weekend £18.80 pp but sooo worth it.
 
This place is a real gem if you love Japanese food so go check it out and see what I mean.
