Located amongst Stamford’s cobbled streets and historic corners, there’s a little slice of Japan waiting to be discovered. Sushi & Salad is a total breath of fresh air for local food lovers, especially for those who can never say no to a slice of Asian cuisine. Here, you won't find overly complicated menus or too many frills, but an environment that feels a little elevated, but remains welcoming. Whether you're popping by for date night or a lazy lunch with friends, Sushi & Salad hits the spot every time.
Begin your meal with miso soup, followed by a selection of sashimi, like the salmon fusion, or carpaccio hamachi with ponzu, tobiko, daikon and sesame seeds. With the nigiri, you only get two pieces, so you can mix and match with as many flavours as you wish. There's salmon, prawn, yellowtail, scallops, avocado and much more. The uramaki selection comes with eight pieces, so we'd recommend ordering a few and getting the whole table stuck in. We're particularly intrigued by the strawberry roll, with rice, nori, crab stick, mango and philly, topped with avocado, strawberry, mayo, teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds. It sounds unusual, but we think it works!
Prefer something a little lighter? Order the new style hamachi sashimi salad – filled with mixed leaves dressed with white truffle oil, tobiko, crispy shallots, ponzu sauce and gomaae dressing. The main dishes sound super tasty, too, including the stir fried yakisoba noodles and vegetables with chicken or vegetables, and steamed rice teriyaki with leek, broccoli, pickled ginger and sesame seeds (you can choose from pork, chicken, salmon and vegetables). Don’t forget to finish it all off with a tasty Japanese sweet treat.
