About 21 Sushi

Customer Review Summary
The sushi taco draws the most praise, with reviewers calling it a mind-blowing standout and one urging others to try the tacos. A softshell crab taco is also called excellent. Close behind are the fresh, generously filled rolls and thicker-cut sashimi, along with salmon nagiri, eel unagi and a peking duck roll that one reviewer recommends. Diners describe food presented like art and say the chef does not skimp on ingredients. Most find the staff friendly and attentive, and one notes everyone said goodbye on leaving. The caveats are specific. One reviewer waited about as long as it takes to be seated and served, got a single shared menu, no water, and had to fetch soy sauce from the counter, though the owner later phoned to ask about it. Another says service can be slow with one waitress, and one found the tempura batter more like plain flour and egg than the usual Japanese style. The same reviewer found prices lower than the bigger Japanese restaurant across the road. Reviewers also mention people being turned away on a Saturday night because of bookings.

“Fantastic Sushi. Very busy with people being turned away due to bookings. A popular place to be on a Saturday night. The food was presented like art. Absolutely Brilliant.”

“I've been here twice now. I love the cosiness of this little restaurant and the smell when you walk in is lovely. Ive been fortunate to get a table each time I've walked in. Being on my own each time. The decor and feel of the place is really pleasant. The food is gorgeous and looks great. One waitress and the chef. Sometimes you do have to wait a while to get service and the service is good. I highly recommend going here.”

“Came here for lunch and I was completely blown away! Situated outside of the main town, this gem of a place was a really great find. Quality of ingredients was superb, especially the salmon. Prices were reasonable. Definitely recommend the peking duck roll, eel unagi & salmon nagiri. The menu has a ton of items so be prepared to be overwhelmed at first! There’s something for everyone. Server was really nice and attentive during our visit. 10/10”
