This is a small sushi/donburi/ramen place on Sicilian Avenue, off Southampton Row. It's a takeaway but has a few tables outside.

I had the London Set at �4.80. This has two pieces of futomaki with interesting shredded vegetables inside (and just the right amount of sesame seeds on the outside); four pieces of cucumber maki; and two tuna, two salmon and one prawn nigiri. The amount of fish is generous but unfortunately the rice isn't very good -- the texture is OK but there seems to be no sushi vinegar on it at all, which is no good given that the rice used doesn't have much intrinsic flavour.

Going to give it another go, though; the sashimi set at �8.00 or the donburi sets at �3.60/�3.90 might be worth a try.
