MeLoveSushi Chelsea

MeLoveSushi could be setting itself up for a fall with that suggestive name, but this mini-chain of straightforward sushi hangouts deserves to feel the love. At its best, the freshly made & finely executed morsels are worthy of far swankier tables. Crispy duck hand rolls, asparagus maki, spicy tuna gunkan & inside-out tempura rolls are good choices, & the specials selection is well worth a look too (try black cod in miso or white tuna with jalapeño & ponzu for something Nobu-esque on a shoestring). But sushi isn’t the only thing to love about MeLoveSushi. The bars in the Swiss Cottage & Chelsea outlets get the thumbs-up for well-made cocktails – from classic bellini & old fashioned to crazy-sounding ‘spicy samurai’ featuring passion fruit, red chillis, shochu & apple juice.
