SUSHINOEN

"A local favourite right opposite Aldgate East station, Sushinoen is an all-singing all-dancing Japanese restaurant that covers all the bases. There’s a large selection of sashimi and nigiri, from aburi sake (seared scallop) to tamago (sweet Japanese omelette) as well as maki and temaki, all of which won’t cost you a fortune." - jake missing

"Opposite Aldgate East station, Sushinoen isn’t an all-singing all-dancing restaurant, but it is one that covers almost all the bases of Japanese cuisine. The diner setup makes it appropriate for pretty much any casual occasion and the sushi is better than your average. There’s a large selection of always-good sashimi and nigiri, from aburi sake (seared scallop) to tamago (sweet Japanese omelette) as well as maki and temaki—none of which will cost a fortune. Hot stuff ranges from donburi and yakisoba, to katsu curries, and everything is pleasing. In fact, it’s just a very pleasant place to be." - rianne shlebak, jake missing

"Sushinoen is a short bus ride or 20 minute walk from the Genesis, and this Japanese restaurant is a crowdpleaser that suits pretty much any and every situation. Be it a quick solo katsu curry before watching a questionable Legally Blonde reboot, or a full sashimi spread after powering through some po-faced Oscar-bait together. There’s a little outside patio as well if the weather’s right." - jake missing

"Sushinoen is a crowd-pleaser that suits pretty much any and every situation. The Japanese diner has a comfortable easygoing feel with sushi that’s better than your average. There’s a large selection of always-good sashimi and nigiri, from aburi sake (seared scallop) to tamago (sweet Japanese omelette) as well as maki and temaki. On the hot side of things there’s yakisoba and donburi, of course, while the karaage is particularly juicy and crisp." - Jake Oliver
