Saltwater Sushi in Soho

Saltwater Sushi

When: Opened 13th August
Where: Berwick Street, W1F 0DR
Book: Saltwater Sushi menu

Saltwater Sushi’s new Soho opening brings together the speed of grab-and-go with the care and technique of a high-end restaurant. The team behind it also knows the neighbourhood well, having previously opened the popular Australian restaurant Milk Beach.

The hand rolls are the signature, with combinations including Bluefin Tuna, Shiso & Yuzu Kosho Smashed Avocado; Maple Aubergine, Broccolini & Tamari-Roasted Pumpkin Seeds; and Salmon & Avocado with Yuzu Mayo. The nigiri is worth exploring too, particularly the Roasted Peppers with Fermented Chilli Kewpie and Crispy Shallots. For something more substantial, try the Ultimate Katsu Curry or Roasted Sesame Miso Chicken.

If you’re in Soho, Saltwater is a smart choice for sushi that’s quick, affordable and carefully made.
