London Fish: Toku is No Tofu

Booze Island reports:
"Recently a Eur-Asian Epicurean told us about a Japanese restaurant in London not to be missed right in the heart of Piccadilly, Restaurant Toku. Once we confirmed that she was not drunk or on a Karokee high when making this recommendation, we promised we would find this place or at least stumble by it late at night. Located in the heart of tourist infested Piccadilly Circus and inside the Japan Travel Center, we were more than a bit skeptical about checking the place out - even if the advice came from our continent hopping Asian gourmandesse. However, a recent craving for some decent sushi in this lager-laden town drove us to search out the Toku.

Upon entering this travel shop/Japanese grocery store/restaurant we realized it was the real deal as we found ourselves the only westerners in this Japan-a-Go-Go themed circus. Simple Japanese menu, high quality fish (better than any of the ubiquitous London chains such as ITSU or Feng Sushi), lightening fast service, Restaurant Toku is not to be missed. But don’t go looking for Nobu – this is an old school Japanese restaurant – and much better for it.
