Square Meal Review of Tenshi ?

From the small dining room with its minimalist Japanese design (monochrome, clean lines, paper & bamboo), diners can see busy sushi chefs & fresh raw fish in the tiny open kitchen. Tenshi (‘angel’ in Japanese) does a brisk trade in takeaway sushi boxes during Angel’s lunchtime rush, but eating-in is a decent & inexpensive option. The extensive menu lists all the expected sushi & sashimi dishes, which are ferried gracefully to table by helpful waitresses. Hot food covers all bases too, so you can slurp your way through a bowl of tempura udon (noodles in soup with king prawn & vegetable), enjoy the crunch of chicken katsu curry, or dig into okonomiyaki (‘cabbage pancake’: much nicer than it sounds). To drink, sip on beer, wine, saké or one of various teas.

    Despite being packed and what looked like too many people in a small(ish) kitchen, food arrived very quickly and hot. Sushi was tasty and fresh. As was the unagi don (eel & rice) and tempura prawn hand roll. Though not cheap – what Japanese is? – it was good value for the quality. Not a date place, but not overly stark or ‘eat quick and get out’. The upstairs – which I passed through on the way to the loo – seemed to have a quieter atmosphere. Though I didn't drink any alcohol, the sake list looked pretty comprehensive. The service was mildly haphazard. The waitress came back twice to check the order the had just taken, but she was polite and I would prefer she checked than arrive with the wrong food. It was very busy in a street packed with restaurants, which in my mind is always a good sign. Would definitely go back.
