Hukuya Sushi Bar

You didn’t book your dinner for two? No worries, the turnover is so high someone will be off the counter stool in ten or so minutes. Don’t be deterred by the haphazard sashimi display (including a whole octopus), melamine plates and the tiny room; this place doesn’t skimp on silky-fleshed sashimi and nigiri using expertly cooked rice. This homely, unashamedly Korean-owned joint with walls decorated with Japanese knick-knacks also serves killer karaage chicken and takoyaki octopus balls. The go-to Korean dish is hui dup bup, which is a bowl of warm rice adorned by sashimi and greens with a Korean chilli hit.
