Ozuki Sushi And Pan Asian Cuisine is a compact Japanese and pan Asian restaurant at 15 Craven Terrace near Lancaster Gate. The intimate dining room has only a small number of tables, giving lunch and dinner a calm neighbourhood feel despite the central London location. Sushi forms the heart of the menu, supported by cooked dishes from across Asia.
The sushi selection moves through delicate sashimi, rice topped nigiri, slim hosomaki, hand rolls, larger futomaki and inside out uramaki. Salmon, tuna, prawns, avocado and vegetables appear in classic and house combinations. Platters make it easy to compare several styles, while careful cutting and presentation keep the individual ingredients distinct.
Starters broaden the meal with chicken or vegetable gyoza, prawn tempura, crisp squid, avocado spring rolls and Peking duck rolls. Salmon and avocado tartare offers a lighter beginning, while asparagus and broccoli with sesame dressing brings freshness to the cooked selection. Sweet, soy based and chilli sauces add contrast without overwhelming the main ingredients.
Bento boxes combine several elements in one organised meal and are useful for diners who want sushi alongside a cooked main and sides. Vegetarian rolls, tofu and vegetable preparations provide good choice beyond seafood. Ozuki balances the precision of Japanese sushi with the wider flavours and textures of pan Asian cooking in a small Craven Terrace setting.
