Japanika, Spitalfields

by Krista

Japanika, Spitalfields
Today during lunch, @leeturnerconn and I dropped into the Orla Kiely sale off Brick Lane where I bought four too many purses. (And was overcharged £130 but that's another matter entirely.)

Shopping makes one hungry.

We stopped into Japanika before the sale, just to check it out. It was overflowing with sushi rolls. It was a contender for a luncheon destination.

45 minutes later, our shopping complete, Japanika was decimated. Completely. All that was left were some Japanika rolls…salmon as far as I could tell. But for £3.90, this was an excellent value.

Japanika is 95% takeaway. It's decently priced and, well, decent. Don't ask them to make you something you saw earlier on the shelves though. Cuz they won't.

I'm moblogging from my couch at the moment. Maybe I'll come back and expand on this post later. Maybe.

Japanika’s not bad, but when craving sushi for lunch in Spitalfields, I’ve preferred the latest branch of Tsuru on Bishopsgate.

Great photo, by the way.

I agree with AiL. Tsuru is better for curry katsu as well. But like you said, Japanika is a no frill, no fuss place. Went past it the other day and wanted to try its katsu but as I was actually looking for somewhere to rest my feet, I gave it a miss instead. Hmm.
