Pham Sushi

Budget choice

An unlikely find in the middle of busy, grimy Whitecross Street, Pham Sushi is something of a Japanese oasis: calm, smart and quiet, at odds with the market bustle outside. Staff wear crisp uniforms; conversation levels never exceed a low hum; and, while there is a small communal counter at the back, most diners sit at sleek square tables. More a restaurant than a quick-stop canteen, then, but our sushi arrived swiftly. Two mixed platters of sushi and sashimi included the classics (thickly sliced, vibrantly coloured salmon sashimi, meaty sea bass nigiri) as well as some interesting ‘chef specials': we particularly liked maki with soft-shelled crab. Elsewhere on the menu, bento boxes featuring tempura and stir-fried beef tempted. Prices reflect the above-average quality of the sushi (our platters were around £15 each); care should be taken not to swell the bill beyond budget.

Love it indeed. I love Japanese food. Thanks Mr.Pham for blowing my food-mood
5/5 ---- perfect
I really enjoyed the place. The warm atmosphere with sushi of family feeling was more than I expected. Thanks Mr.Pham , your made my birthday :)
amazing sushis and rolls.
3.5 stars out of 5 would be a bit fairer - competent if not outstanding sushi and sashimi. The turnover is good enough to ensure freshness, the staff are friendly and its the best spot for pre-Barbican food (but lots of people think so too, so book if you're going to see something that'll be busy).
2 out of 6 stars!? Timeout is being harsh on this simple yet elegant sushi bar, tucked away on a quiet street. staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the food fresh and delicious. Take care to book at the weekends, it's always full.
WHAM BAM THANK YOU PHAM!
I went there to have a meal with a friend. Firstly,I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and music-perfect for having a good conversation. Most of all, everything we ordered was simply delicious. I'm going to dine there again and would recommend this place to everyone. I also think the food was worth its price!
