Uchi

Uchi is a Japanese sushi restaurant on Clarence Road in Lower Clapton, tucked away on what Better Cities Travel describes as "a peaceful residential avenue" -- an unlikely setting for one of the better Japanese restaurants in East London. The restaurant exudes, in their words, "subtle allure, from its exquisite Japanese-inspired tableware to the tranquil ambiance," making it a calm and pleasurable destination for sushi lovers in E5 and beyond.

The menu covers a selection of sushi, sashimi, maki and cooked Japanese dishes in a relaxed, unhurried setting that makes it a natural choice for a quiet dinner or a special occasion in Clapton. A neighbourhood Japanese restaurant for local residents who want authentic, carefully made sushi without travelling to Soho or the West End. Open for lunch and dinner. Booking recommended at weekends. Website: uchihackney.com.
