What's better than a restaurant where you can push away your table when you feel like dancing ?! One if the city 's best sound systems , and great live DJs . Plus the perfect and rather adventurous sushi .

Joyce Ip

What a gem for late night sashimi - so fresh and yummy! A light snack that you need after a few to drink on a weekend! Must return !!!

Brad Tubb

Decent selection of Japanese food , craft ales and cocktails . They host Classic Album Sundays on a (you guessed it) Sunday, so expect it to be busier between 17:00 and 20:30. Worth a visit

Raj

A listening bar with a DJ and amazing music system. Food is limited but ok. Sake is also limited but not worth it. In general a friendly vibe and a good evening. Dancing at the end of the night too

Ierax Holargeus

Very interesting place. Their sushi is good, their cocktails better. That being said, the key reason to go there is the restaurant’s transformation into a disco at around 11. Vinyls and cool vibes.

Hannah Parvaz

This place is gorgeous. A dark space with hanging spherical dim lights . Awesome sound system and old fashioneds.

Zuz

Mysterious atmosphere and soft light . Sushi , drinks and live music . If fancy and edgy can ever go well together it's this place. Dalston vibe

Chris R (thechristophe)

Lovely sushi place with craft beers . Suspect the name comes from the corner speakers that are used to great effect for Classic Album Sundays.

Olga Woronowicz

The food is outstanding! The vegan options are amazing - particularly the mushrooms and tempura . Would definitely visit again.

Yasmin Yazdani

The sushi here is excellent! Definitely try the vegan sushi - I'm not even a vegan , but it's genuinely delicious

Fabian

Japanese restaurant and jazz bar (neatly divided). Mesmerising lamps that look like moons, and people start dancing after midnight. Loud but lively .

Michelle Wiles

Sushi is good, get a reservation for 930 so you finish right as the place turns into a vibey dance party

Cathy Lee

Sashimi is fresh-ish but menu selection is very limited (also overpriced) so it's not a place to come hungry. Service is also not great (staff are unfamiliar with the menu, and not very friendly ).

Shell ster

Ben here 4 times in last month. Excellent sushi and old fashions. Music is way too loud for dining though! Turn it down a tad for eating please!

Lucia Vera

Delicious food paired with amazing music ???????? its an east london treasure.

Irina Kikina

Perfect for a date and couple of drinks with friends. Good music and atmosphere. Don't eat there!

Cris Mascort

Sushi and cocktails . Amazing sound system . Go early or gets packed!

Campbell Ross

Nice sushi . Bit pricey . But a busy trendy spot. One of the many good places in that block on Kingsland Road

Melissa Sweeting

One of the waitresses was incredibly rude to my bf and made an attack on his character. Dampened what would have been a great night. They also wouldn't turn the air con on until everyone was sweating

Ale Tower

Music , ambience, drinks, food, people. Hipster free shining beacon of light.

Curtis Weir

If you like Music and Rum then this is your new spot. If you don't like neither of things things then stay home.

Kurtis O'kasi

Quirky drinks selection and menu. Pretty sure they've tried to rebrand granny's fab sherry as 'white port ' though...

Dimitris Ntarladimas

nice place for a drink, although it can get really crowded .

Cla Cla

Different from the usual with sakes and uncommon wines . But pricey

Jenny Hunt

Natural wines , music , fun people!

Nicole J

Stunning food, good value . Fun place

Simon Child

Very very disappointing. Extremely overpriced. Tiny portions. Trying way too hard to be trendy . If you want good sushi , this is not the place for you. Be careful of the “optional” DJ tip.

Andrew Shum

Get the oyster mushrooms

Sarada Chunduri-Shoesmith

Excellent hand rolls

Olly Newport

Go here before Superstore.

Daniel Bower

Sushi and loud tunes . Excellent.

Paul Q

Excellent music
