Sammy.D's review of Dinings

This place on a quiet street a few minutes away from Edgware Road tube station is a real find. It is tiny. There's a small sushi bar upstairs taking perhaps five seats and then a few tables in the basement. Despite this it works and reminds of you those places in New York where every bit of space is used to the maximum.
And the food is definitely top-notch. The sushi is really good. Generous slices of the freshest fish on perfectly done rice. There's usually a very good selection every time we've been with an intriguing array of specials. Last time I was there, the chef had clearly managed to get a lot of good sea urchin in and these were presented in all sorts of ways. There is often a lot of excellent king crab and very good otoro. The only thing not to my taste is perhaps a lot of the specials sometimes use truffles — which I don't like with sushi — or can sometimes be overpowered by yuzu so that you lose the taste of the fish. But other people don't seem to mind.
