Rock Star Sushi Bar

Basically this place is so good I don't want to tell you about it in case it gets too busy. If you like Japanese food, polite service, authentic ingredients, and the Izakaya culture, then this is the only place to visit in London.

The service normal, the food amazing, the atmosphere incredible for me

This is truly a hidden gem. The quality of some of the fish I had here was truly exquisite and some of the best tasting sushi I have ever had. The staff are friendly and keen to help guide you in your choice. Be aware the lunch menu is sometimes very limited and the evenings are usually reservation only.

This has to be one of the smallest restaurants I've ever visited, with just one sushi chef and one waiter, and just twelve seats. It's an amazing place though: very intimate and extremely good food. It's worth noting that this place doesn't take walk-ins; you need to make a booking, and it's not going to be suitable for large groups. We were initially unsure of the place because we received a call to ask if we could reschedule; the restaurant didn't have many bookings for our chosen evening and I think they wanted to move us to another evening, but thankfully they agreed to keep our booking because we were only in town for one evening. The level of service is amazing because our waiter was able to take us through the entire menu, explaining what each thing is and whether it's an appropriate choice. There's a nice selection of Asian beers and some soft drinks as well. Food is beautifully presented and it tasted amazing. I've eaten a lot of sushi but I'd be hard pressed to find better than this. Fish is some of the usual things like salmon and tuna, but also some unusual fish, including special items that won't be found anywhere else. The combinations on offer are really innovative, like smoked salmon, cheese, and passion fruit. There's a huge range for such a small place, as well. Considering that usually, to get sushi of this quality, presented in such a nice setting, would set you back a fair amount, this restaurant has really well priced food. We left the place quite full of delicious seafood and it didn't empty our wallets at all. In particular, the wasabi is made fresh from the root, and not from a powder or paste common at other places. Our waiter was good enough to point out which items on the menu could be changed to accommodate food allergies, and even some special soy sauce is available. This place is a real one-of-a-kind gem and we left absolutely delighted that we had taken the chance on it. I will definitely look to return if I'm ever in the area again.

Tiny sushi restaurant with only 12 seats. Amazing personal service with Igor the owner will love to tell you everything about the history of the place and the dishes. As the location is out of London the prices are bearable however slightly expensive. Nonetheless they are worth for the quality and amazing taste you get.To have a proper dinner for 2 expect to spent approx. £100 including drinks. Overall if you around the area it's definitely worth it.

One of the best sushi we've ever tried: quality, taste, presentation, price... it was simply brilliant! The service was friendly and quick. The chef is very passionate about his work. It is well worth a visit!

UPDATED THE BELOW: The below is how this used to be a year or so ago. Just went recently (June 2021) and it's changed so much. It's not bad now but it's just not the same as what it used to be. A real shame. ----------------------------------- I think this is the best sushi I've ever had. It's a tiny place which might put some people off but it's casual and welcoming so no need to worry about walking into a stiff atmosphere. The waiter is clearly passionate about the food and very friendly. Feel free to let him guide you as they don't just want to sell you as much as they can. He'll recommend based on your needs. My needs are just loads of salmon and kampachi sushi/sashimi and like I said - best I've ever had. Including various trips to SE Asia. Quite expensive but cheap for what you get. Can't recommend it more highly.

I rated this place 5 stars on the night and just adding my reason now.... It was simply the best sushi I have had in the UK in the USA (sorry haven't been Japan yet). The black cod is simple exquisite with no bombardment of flavour that some restaurants feel they need to produce. The simple great ingredient speak for themselves. The guys who owns this place and is really cool and will tell you anything about the food you might be interested. This is a really small place so hard to get a reservation and some people have said in their review it is distracting that there is rock music. But I think that is great as it is a real unique restaurant and the owner is still simply there to show case his food and the back rock music isn't laud anyway....our baby actually loved it :-) A great little restaurant

Rock Star Sushi is a cosy little sushi restaurant far south near Colliers Wood. They pride themselves in using the freshest ingredients, making everything themselves from the soy sauce to the pickled ginger. The best thing about the restaurant is that everything is very reasonably priced and service is impeccable! The head chef goes from table to table explaining the whole menu and pointing out recommendations. My favourites were the black cod and yuzu mochi ice cream!

Delicious food - I had the privilege to try their Kampachi fish and it was great! If you are a fan of raw fish, this is the place to go. The restaurant is small (about 12 seats) and staff spends a lot of time on you so the service is good. Make sure you book in advance!
