"The Verdict: You should have low expectations for this naff spot that’s high in the sky. Some things are inevitable, and people in tight trousers wanting to go up to the 38th floor of the Heron Tower to eat sushi rolls topped with melted mozzarella is one of them. Unfortunately, Sushisamba is just one of those places. It’s got the views, it’s got the fusion menu, it’s got the arse-clenching prices. You shouldn’t eat lunch or dinner here. But if you want to get an overpriced drink and look across London, we can’t stop you." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
"Getting high can be fun, but getting high can also be dreadful. Sushisamba manages to expertly combine the two. The London-wide views at this close-your-eyes-and-point-at-some-ingredients fusion restaurant (mozzarella sushi, anyone?) are undeniably brilliant, but the food is undeniably nauseating. If you do find yourself going up to the 38th floor of the Heron Tower, make sure it’s for the bar, and only the bar. Instead of Sushisamba, go to:Duck And Waffle (next door, open 24 hours, and infinitely more edible); or, Decimo (a high-in-the-sky Mexican party spot in King’s Cross)." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"Sometimes it feels like there’s a trade-off: good views for bad food. And, in the case of Sushisamba, it’s very much true. It’s got the fusion menu, it’s got the arse-clenching prices, it’s got the clientele wearing very tight trousers. That said, it really does afford some of the most breathtaking views across the entirety of London. Knowing that, you should enjoy the ride up to the 38th floor of the Heron Tower with drinks in mind, rather than sushi rolls topped with melted mozzarella. Play it safe and get dinner somewhere else in Shoreditch." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna
"Mentioned as another previous employer of Brian Nasajon, SushiSamba is included to highlight Nasajon’s diverse culinary experience that contributed to Beaker & Gray’s food program." - Laine Doss
"I learned that SushiSamba is planning a multimillion-dollar overhaul of its nearly 2,953-square-foot space at the Palazzo's Grand Canal Shoppes that includes demolition and relocation of the existing bar, a new seating layout, upgraded interior millwork, bar equipment, finishes, lighting, and general seating, with an estimated $2 million allocated for construction costs alone." - Eater Staff
