When I lived in Brentwood, there were fabulous little sushi places – my favourite was always an independent called Sushi City. I’ve looked back and I last featured sushi on my blog in 2016 (Buddha-Bar in Knightsbridge for my birthday) – but it’s amongst my favourite cuisine! I just love it… when it’s done right!
Back to King Sushi now. I found out about them on our estate Facebook page, but I soon went to their page and downloaded the menu. To place an order, I contacted them via Facebook. I pre-ordered, confirmed delivery and the method of payment. But the website is now up and running – and card payments are available (it was only cash or BACS at the time I ordered (and wrote this post!)).
But let’s get onto the food. I ordered for the three of us, so ordered quite a bit and a mixture of things, that would cater to Alfie’s palate too. Sadly, he didn’t play ball and just picked. I chose:
- Pumpkin korokke (4 piece) - £3.99
- Chicken gyoza (5 piece) - £4.90
- Cucumber maki (6 piece) - £2.50
- California roll uramaki (8 piece) - £5.50
- Chicken katsu futomaki (6 piece) – £6.50
- Softshell crab futomaki (6 piece) - £7.50


The pumpkin korokke was beautiful. Soft and sweet pumpkin, encased in crispy panko breadcrumb, deep fried to perfection. Sweet chilli sauce was the perfect accompaniment, to add a bit of heat. I am a lover of dumplings, whether that’s gyoza or dim sum – but I always prefer crispy/fried dumplings to steamed, so these ticked all my boxes. The chicken gyoza were delicious – the flavours were so fresh and aromatic, the chicken minced finely. They were just as tasty on their own, as they were in dipping sauce. I would definitely order these again, whether I was ordering sushi or hot food.
Softshell crab is my all-time favourite, I just love it – and the softshell crab futomaki was divine. Like I said, it was still so crisp and the crabmeat itself, so succulent. I also chose the katsu chicken futomaki, with Alfie in mind. It came with a really moreish sauce – to me, it tasted more like a fruity curry sauce than katsu, but it was so delicious! The chicken was cooked well, and the addition of avocado was spot-on, adding a softer texture. Given their size, six slices were a really generous portion.


In my opinion, there are two sushi staples: cucumber maki and California rolls – so I had to order both. The cucumber maki was fresh, with grated slices of cucumber. It’s my go-to in terms of veggie rolls usually. Similarly, I just love the combination of crabmeat and avocado in California rolls – and these were done so right! Juicy crab, and lots of it, with soft avocado – it’s a dream duo. Like everything else, it was just so fresh and tasty… I honestly couldn’t fault any of the food.
And if that wasn’t enough – we were kindly gifted a packet of dorayaki. Matcha (green tea) pancakes sandwiched together with a red bean paste filling. It was a lovely end to a delicious meal – and such an unexpected but welcomed touch from King Sushi. It wasn’t until late that I realised the desserts section of the menu, so I might just have to order some mochi next time. I would absolutely order again – there are so many other rolls and set menus to try, not least the hot options too – I think a bowl of seafood ramen will be next on my list! Maybe a katsu curry with rice for Alfie?
