Hold on to your hats, London! Sushi on Jones has landed in King’s Cross, offering a delightful 12-course Omakase experience in just 45 minutes. Prepare for a fun and engaging sushi adventure like no other!
From the moment I stepped into Sushi on Jones, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The minimalist design, with its simple yet elegant wooden counter and carefully curated lighting, allowed for the focus to remain on the exquisite sushi being prepared right in front of my eyes. This added a unique dimension to the dining experience, as I could witness Chef Mattia’s expert precision and attention to detail in each dish.
The 12-course tasting menu offered a diverse array of flavors and textures, ensuring that each course felt distinct and memorable. One of the standout dishes for me was the melt-in-your-mouth toro, which showcased the perfect balance between the rich, fatty tuna and the delicate, vinegared rice. The Botan shrimp, served with a touch of yuzu kosho, was another highlight, providing a delightful contrast between the sweet, tender shrimp and the tangy, slightly spicy citrus paste.
The intimate counter seating arrangement fostered a sense of camaraderie among diners, as we shared our impressions and favourite dishes with one another. This unique setup also allowed for an interactive dining experience, as Chef Mattia engaged with us throughout the evening, sharing insights into the ingredients and techniques used in each course. This personal connection added a level of depth and appreciation to the meal that I haven’t experienced at other sushi establishments.
Another aspect that set Sushi on Jones apart was the seamless incorporation of wines and sake into the dining experience. The carefully selected pairings complemented the flavours of the sushi beautifully, enhancing each course without overpowering the delicate nuances of the fish. The knowledgeable staff was more than happy to provide recommendations and explain the rationale behind each pairing, which further enriched my understanding and appreciation of the dishes.
As my evening at Sushi on Jones drew to a close, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction and gratitude for the incredible experience I had just enjoyed. The combination of top-quality sushi, a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, and the personal connection with the chef made this Omakase experience truly unforgettable. Sushi on Jones has undoubtedly set a new standard for sushi dining in London, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit to this extraordinary establishment.
