About
Sushinoen has been serving East London since 2013 from its cosy spot on White Church Lane in Whitechapel, just steps from Whitechapel Gallery. The restaurant is Japanese-owned and operated, and its loyal following includes a significant proportion of Japanese diners — a reliable indicator of culinary authenticity. The menu spans fresh counter sushi and sashimi, hearty sukiyaki hot-pot, nabe udon, katsu curry, and various home-cooking staples rarely found in more commercial Japanese restaurants. The garden patio adds outdoor seating in warmer months. The relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and honest pricing have earned Sushinoen a strong TripAdvisor ranking and a reputation as East London's finest Japanese restaurant.
