"Some restaurants are special while feeling like they could exist in other cities, but Kurisu Omakase is special and feels utterly unique to London. The sushi omakase experience mixes Japanese cooking with head chef Chris Restrepo's Thai-Colombian heritage, genuine brilliance, and inimitable made-in-Brixton charm. Restrepo wows with confit uni butter risotto and pieces of 18-times-sliced scallop nigiri, while also entertaining with stories about family holidays and juicy dinners sealed by NDA. This is a purposefully informal experience with food that is out of this world. An uncommon combination that, together, makes a restaurant that represents the best of London." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
