Kiko Sushi & Yakitori

Seriously good sushi and yakitori skewers that'll make you forget about the chains. This is proper Japanese cooking on London Road.

You're walking into something refreshingly unpretentious here—the kind of place where they actually know what they're doing with fish and fire. Kiko pulls off that tricky balance of being neighbourhood-friendly without any of the theatrical nonsense; the sushi counter's where the magic happens, but the yakitori grill is the real showstopper. It's become the sort of spot locals genuinely queue for, especially on weekends, because the quality-to-price ratio is genuinely difficult to find. The vibe is buzzy but never chaotic—you'll see couples hunched over omakase alongside groups of mates sharing skewers and sake.
