K10 (City of London)

• Sushi Say up in Willesden Green and a hotel in Holland Park with a Japanese Restaurant
• Now days they are ubiquitous
• No surprise then that Christopher Kemper cut his culinary teeth working with SimonWoodroffe at Yo Sushi during their start up and early development
• Bursting with enthusiasm and hunger I was the first to arrive with my erstwhile and glamorous colleague from the Londonist
• Regular readers will know by now that I always start with a beer wherever I&rsquo
• My charming companion for the evening was not only fluent in Japanese
• She taught me the best Sake was served cold
• I also learned the quality of the sake is proportional to the amount of polishing of the rice
• The best sake is made from 55 60% polished rice
• The food on offer is a mixture of traditional Japanese and new creations imaginatively created for a more Western pallet
• I was told traditionally one starts with the lightest foods such as sashimi (raw fish) and moves towards the fattier
• The large plate of chunks or raw tuna was not allowed to pass
• The thinly sliced yellow tail and chunks of salmon were equally as good as was seared tuna with toasted sesame and miso mustard
• The plates were piling up raw beef and Asparagus wrap
• This time it was the Masumi &ldquo
• The stunning prawn tempura was light and fluffy £
• 4.75 was just fantastic as was the chicken Karaage and chilli baby squid
• The deserts were equally as impressive mango and green tea mousse
• K10 mainly caters for the weekday city workers around Liverpool Street so shuts around 9.30pm and is closed at weekends
• Those on the go there are competitively priced pre prepared sushi and sashimi sets and a takeaway counter where freshly made hot food is available
• They also do deliveries throughout the City and Canary Wharf and are happy to quote for corporate events and parties
• Special offers are always available online and in house
• 6.50 lunch deal is a real bargain
• There are few foods I would desire to eat everyday but Japanese is one of them
• S a big compliment to K10 that at the end of the evening our stack of empty plates was the highest in the whole restaurant
• This one is open for dinner too which is convenient
• Decent conveyer belt sushi with rice served at the correct temperature
• The salmon ceviche with a very lightly acidic sauce was my favorite
• Not a classic ceviche as there was no onion or coriander
• Good sized portion for the chicken teriyaki made with de boned thigh meat
• Maki rolls were all nice but didn't rock my world
• Didn't like the miso vinaigrette that came with the seared tuna
• The booths at the back are the nicest place to sit
