About
Kulu Kulu has been a cornerstone of London's affordable Japanese dining scene since opening on Brewer Street in 1995. Run by a Japanese proprietor, it offers the traditional kaiten format — fresh sushi and nigiri circulating on a conveyor belt — allowing diners to select exactly what appeals to them at a transparent, fair price. The menu covers classic nigiri, maki rolls, and Japanese sides, all made on site to a consistent standard that keeps loyal customers returning for decades. The no-frills setting and efficient service make it a go-to for a quick, authentic, and affordable sushi lunch or dinner in the heart of Soho, just steps from Piccadilly Circus.
