About Sanjugo Angel
Sanjugo Angel is a Japanese restaurant at 42 Duncan St in Angel, London, built around a sushi counter where guests can watch the chefs work. The sushi menu includes wagyu sushi rolls made with wagyu beef, and the hiramasa salad sits alongside it for a lighter plate.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the wagyu sushi roll, described as fresh and light and as melting in the mouth, with one diner also praising the dry ice presentation. The hiramasa salad is close behind, called fresh, light and beautifully plated. The butterfish, salmon sashimi, grilled aubergine, fried oysters and the yuzu and lychee sake also earn praise. Servers and sushi chefs are called friendly, one reviewer recommends sitting at the sushi counter to watch the chefs work, and a couple note that food arrived fast, though another says good food takes time to prep. The newly refurbished interior and soft jazz and pop come up as well. Criticism is less common but specific. One lunch diner found the yakitori lukewarm and on the salty side, then received the same chicken on the bara tori don, while the soft shell crab sushi felt below par and the tofu steak was not recommended. Another expected the smoke and sushi boats seen online and instead found the sushi order and the cocktail plainly presented.

“Authentic Japanese food. Really delicious and beautifully presented. Prices are good and the atmosphere is great. Soft jazz and pop in the background. Waiters were great. Will come back again👍😎”

“Was really looking forward to this meal as the photos/videos looked great, but deeply disappointed by the lack of presentation. Seeing the fancy smokes and sushi boats online got me excited, not knowing that wouldn't be the case for my £33 sushi order - not sure which ones did or didn't as it wasnt stated in the menu. The atmosphere was the best feature overall, the food was OK. I would have preferred better presentation for this price point - specifically in the sushi order and the cocktail.”
