Upstairs from a small Japanese and Korean food shop (the Centre Point Food Store).

Primarily a sushi place but does good set meals too. If eating here for the first time, start with the bento box for £ 12.50 (which includes pickles, miso soup, and other goodness) and add specific sushi/sashimi elements that take your fancy. The obu boxes are very nice but somewhat insubstantial.

Not particularly cheap - £ 20-£ 25 per head isn't unusual - but one of the few meals at that price that's worth the money.
