The upstairs is quite small and narrow, with tables that would seat maybe 2 or 3 people tucked in around the edges. There is a screen or two to break up the space and provide privacy. It is a little bit squashed-in; the tables are very close together.

Everything on the menu is available as takeaway, at the same price. The large sushi box is �7.80, and is plenty for one hungry person - you get six maki and tuna, salmon, squid, tamago, prawn, and mackerel nigiri. <small>[Price as of May 2002]</small>

The rice is moist and well-flavoured, and the ratio of rice-fish-wasabi on the nigiri is just right. <small>[Prices at 2002-05-09]</small>

Zipangu is an interesting place. Try to get a seat downstairs in one of the holes for a rather cosy location. Their sushi and sashimi is the best in Chinatown.

The upstairs is quite small and narrow, with tables that would seat maybe 2 or 3 people tucked in around the edges. There is a screen or two to break up the space and provide privacy.
