Quick info
About Tobiko
Tobiko is a sushi takeaway in London at 8 Garrick St, built around a build-your-own sushi box. Customers mix and match single pieces from a wide range of options, including a nigiri selection, so each box holds the pieces they choose. Pre-built and prepackaged boxes and grab-and-go sets are there for anyone who would rather not assemble their own. The shop is small and takeaway only, with no inside seating. Beyond the sushi, the menu includes a Charashi bowl and donburi, among them unagi don and a version with ikura. The hot food adds katsu curry and chicken curry.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return to Tobiko mainly for mixing and matching single pieces of nigiri into a custom box, with the fish described as fresh and melting in the mouth. Close behind are the donburi, including the unagi don and the ikura version, and the charashi bowl, which one reviewer called superb. The katsu chicken curry also draws praise, with one reviewer saying they eat it several times a week. Value comes up repeatedly, with portions described as good for the price, though one reviewer calls it a touch pricier than other lunch options. Service is called friendly, helpful and efficient, and the takeaway orders are described as quick. The main complaint is slipping consistency: one longtime customer lowered their rating because the charashi bowl now has fewer fish slices and other dishes vary, while another doubts the ingredient labels on the prepackaged boxes are accurate. Reviewers also note there is no indoor seating, only outdoor tables for two. One order came with soy sauce in a tiny bottle, plus ginger and wasabi in their own containers.

“If only more big cities like London had affordable, high-quality sushi options like this. They have plenty of single piece options you can mix and match. The fish is very fresh, melting in your mouth. And it is not expensive.”
