Notes: Youmiko

Blog 9 March 2017 0

When Youmiko opened their Warsaw op in February, 2016, it was to widespread acclaim. Everyone – no exception – loved it. Thing is, this is Warsaw: it doesn’t take long for restaurants to get comfortable and sit on their laurels. But it’s not what you do in the first... Read more

Kago Sushi

Restaurants 10 February 2017 0

Compensating for the rank commercialism of Hala Koszyki are ventures such as Kago, a place of such merit that its worth battling through the crowds. A side project from the team behind the acclaimed Izumi, portioning here is strict and skimpy but the precision, attention to detail and flavors... Read more

Review: Wabu

Features Reviews 14 December 2016 0

Wabu: remember them? Originally opened on Krucza, the place rose to prominence for premium sushi the like of which Warsaw had not tasted before. Inexplicably, just as word was spreading about their brilliance, they closed. The city despaired. As it turns out, this was a temporary measure and now,... Read more

Wabu

Restaurants 27 October 2016 1

Sushi becomes a heaven’s gate spiritual experience in Wabu with the evening passing in a blur of beautiful compositions, of silky slithers of fish crowned with expert pinches of this, and little brush strokes of that. That’s all elevated even further by deliciously upscale interiors befitting of the Spire... Read more

Food & Drink: Fokim

Features Reviews 3 September 2016 0

Fokim does what other bars daren’t. I mean, where else can you go to the toilet and find a scantily-clad Korean girl jiggling about in a titillating manner? Okay, so she’s on an LCD screen, but nevertheless, it’s a bold design statement that sets the tone nicely. Yet as... Read more

***CLOSED*** Japanese meets Mexican: if there’s a more unlikely culinary marriage, then we’ve yet to hear it. Set inside a colorful, wacky space, the specialty here is the sushito, a long sushi wrap filled with the likes of sweetcorn, jalapenos and chicken panko. It sounds like it shouldn’t work,...

Youmiko Vegan Sushi

Restaurants 11 April 2016 0

Already well-established in Kraków, Youmiko enter Warsaw’s vegan sushi market hot on the heels of Edamame on Wilcza nearby. There’s definitely more of a hipster, ‘urban guerrilla’ feel to Youmiko, but the sushi is every bit a success. Frequently, sushi in Warsaw has been let down by the overall... Read more

Edamame Vegan Sushi

Restaurants 30 March 2016 0

The place itself it the definition of zen: chilled music, careful art, non-intrusive service and a few bonsai trees. Then there’s the food, artistically presented rolls that utilize ingredients such as sugar snap peas, smoked tofu, mushrooms and radish. As unlikely as it sounds, it’s absolutely delicious, and every... Read more

Vegan whaaat?

Blog 21 March 2016 0

Sushi. Vegan sushi. No matter how many times you say it, there is just no way in the world that vegan sushi should work. Or so at least you’d think. In fact, not only does Edamame taste good, it tastes better than probably all but a handful of sushi... Read more

Sushi Zume

Restaurants 2 March 2016 0

Apparently this was the first restaurant to take root in Miasteczko Wilanów. Still going strong, that they’ve outlasted many of their competitors speaks volumes. Basic interior, simple menu but solidly reliable standards. Sushi Zume ul. Klimczaka 5, sushizume.eu Read more
