      This was our initial visit. Having voiced to pals and looking at the evaluations we were stop getting excited about dining here. The service was extremely fine. Very attentive. The climate was chilled out yet inviting.They are going the extra distance to make sure their guests are pleased.It was the prettiest supper That I have ever had!I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who loves food items. Very accomodating team, and always there when you really need them.
      The sushi chefs are fantastic and merely serve the finest seafood. I've suggested this bistro to various, some people and none have been disappointed!!

      Feng Sushi put on an amazing display of their cuisine for a group of lucky qypers and gave us a culinary treat of Japanese cuisine with a European twist. The event was held in the outdoor section of their restaurant and was split into a number of events:
      - Preparing Sushi dishes and watching the methods of intricacy involved in delivering these mouthfuls of pleasure. Bonus was eating the left over ingredients, the Devon crab claw meat was top notch. All food created on the day was packaged up to take home, which my girlfriend appreciated.
      -Cocktails: these were more Japanese themed drinks created by the staff and based around Apple and Cucumber with Sake of course. They were sublime, the sort of drink to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon.
      -Japanese BBQ: A fantastic selection of skewered meats they had marinade in their sauce mixtures lamb, pork and chicken wings were kept sizzling with salted water and a little sake of course.
      I strongly recommend trying their sushi making classes, of course you also end up with a takeaway of the freshest sushi.

      Long English evenings, sitting by the river. What more can you wish than a delicious and healthy barbecue with good company? I recommend the outdoor barbecue of Feng Sushi, smell wafting on the summer breezes, setting sun catching the glistening marinade, passers-by licking their lips.

      In the breaks from summer jobs past, I enjoyed sitting in cafes in Paris and watching the world walk by while chatting with friends, and I love the great street cafes of Bangkok where the food moves so fast that its fresh and tip-top tasty, whatever the surroundings look like. I wish that it would catch on in London. Last week I found it had.

      I was one of lucky Qype reviewers to get invited to learn about Japanese barbecuing. The evening started with a class in making sushi, which all looked as if they enjoyed (check out the other reviews, I arrived a bit late for that one). The knife work was impressive and it was excellent to watch new sushi materializing in seconds, full of fresh ingredients such as sesame, crab, salmon.

      Closer to my territory, we began with the cocktails, and maestro Mitch made refreshing Japanese twisted cocktails with a Japanese spirit called shochu which is somewhere between wine and vodka, apparently around 25% abv so not too strong, but teh effect creeps up fast, and sake sangria. The banana essence was a strange flavour, but the spirit was moving. The ginger and other spicy flavours could have been stronger for me, but the cocktails will change from day to day.

      Also up was King Dave, lord of the barbecue, who applied special care and delicate touch, backed with deep knowledge to ensuring one of the best braais I ever tasted. First, if you want to barbecue on wooden skewers you have to soak them for a long time first (I got that wrong last time I tried and the skewers caught fire). I have never been a fan of chicken wings, but he only took the middle section and put a few on 2 skewers. One trick is to spray with salt water and also with sake, another is to barbecue quite a lot before you add the yakitori sauce, the result delicious, succulent, crispy, melt in the mouth, flavour burst.. (no its not the cocktail talking). Also great from the barbie was shitake mushrooms (sorry vegetarians, I couldn't resist raiding), lamb and tuna, grilled and sauced to perfection.

      It was also great to chat with MD Silla Bjerrum. I have boundless admiration for people who run their own flourishing businesses and still enjoy life, and she is one. I loved the picture of this Danish woman, teacher of Japanese cooking, and giving classes worldwide, including beautiful Zanzibar. She talks with passion about sustainable sourcing for food and you learn a lot about it at Feng Sushi. If you are what you eat, you want to make it great, green and something to be proud of.

      Thanks for the great company too, fellow qypers!

      I can much recommend for a pre theatre lite bite or a tasty evening meal when you don't want to get heavy, and sushi is great for a takeway espeically if you are working and what stamina and liveliness for a few more hourse.

      Barbecue at Feng Shui is the perfect South Bank outdoor food experience, on Thur-Sun noon to 9pm until 4 September, except if weather bad.

      Check it out.

      It has been a life-long dream of mine to attend a sushi-making class. All the classes I have ever come across have been so expensive (or I have been so poor!) that I could never afford such a luxury - until tonight that is!


      This evening I was lucky enough to be one of the ten or so Qypers invited to a sushi-making class at Feng Sushi on the Southbank. The evening started with rounds of green tea and ginger beer, before we sat down and got our hands dirty with rice, wasabi and and lots of avocado! The incredibly charming and loveable manager Silla showed us how to make cucumber and avocado maki before promoting us to california roll level. Luckily she was also very patient when it came to fixing our botched attempts at rolling said sushi!


      After filling a box of sushi for us each to take away for lunch tomorrow, we were then shown how to slice fresh salmon - they kept the sharp knives away from us Qypers which was probably a smart move! I love love love the fact that all of their fish is sourced sustainably - it just makes so much sense. Next up was how to make the perfect Japanese-inspired cocktail (hint: lots of sake!) before moving over to the BBQ to get some tips on barbecuing Japan-style.


      The whole evening was lovely - Silla and her crew were so charming and thoughtful, making sure that we had every item of food and drink that we could possibly want. I am pescatarian (i.e. I don't eat meat) so the guys happily barbecued some mushrooms and tuna for me, both of which tasted divine. The food generally was incredible - my favourites were the self-made california rolls, the salmon sushi canapes we gobbled and the perfectly-cooked tuna steak.


      I'm so glad I found out about this place - especially as I also noticed that they do vegetarian duck rolls. I'll certainly be back to give them a try! And until then, I'll be spreading the word about their classes...

      Feng Sushi-Royal Festival Hall was delicious. I ordered the lunch special that came with Miso Soup, Miso Salted Edamame, Salmon and Tuna Sushi (1pc each) 4 pieces of a soft-shell crab roll as well as Prawn and Vegetable Tempura! It looked just as it tasted and all for 8 pounds! It was close to Waterloo Station and a very filling, tasty lunch for a great price.

      I was really not in the mood for sushi or anything sushi-related the other evening but agreed to meet up with some friends in Feng Sushi before going on to a gig at Royal Festival Hall. Thinking I'd just have a drink and get something to eat later, I was a bit surprised to be tempted in to ordering after just a quick glance at the menu.


      The reason for my quick switch in mood? Mock duck pancakes. It's funny, you'd think more places would offer a veggie version of this much-loved dish - how hard could it be? Some tofu / quorn / stir fried veggies in a sauce wrapped up with cucumber in a paper thin pancake = job done. But Feng Sushi is one of very few places who have made the effort, and for this I love them. Their filling was of the soya variety I believe and was just the right texture for a satisfying chew, the sauce was rich and delicious and though the dish wasn't exactly cheap at £7 that gave me eight pancakes and was the perfect pre-gig meal; fairly light but filling.


      As for the place? It was jam packed but the staff - especially the super organised, gregarious manager - were smiling and very efficient. I will certainly return for a more leisurely meal some time soon.

      I ordered the Green Goddess to take away and it was delicious. Perhaps a little small a portion for the price but otherwise no complaints.

      Because of the name I assumed it was fusion food and since I'm not a fan of Chinese food I never bothered to look at the menu until yesterday afternoon and I'm glad I did.

      Feng Sushi offers a really unique kind of roll and they do it really REALLY well. It's the tempura roll- where the entire roll is deep fried. It makes the sushi warm and when you add the sweet and sour sauce they have it elevates the roll to another level. I mean really. It's not even really sushi, it's like a completely different thing. Cold sushi is amazing anyway, but a tempura sushi roll is a whole nother beast. When you take a bite the crunchiness is sooooo good and the sweet and sour sauce is also really unique but compliments the roll so well. I love it oh so much!

      So. I like the tempura rolls at Feng sushi, but I also had their katsu vegetable curry (also delicious, with sweet potato and aubergine) and their avocado roll. Very fresh, very yummy. The service is also nice and attentive. Well done! I'll be back.

      I really liked this Feng Sushi. As soon as I walked in I was welcomed politely and with a smile. The waiter was really nice, polite and professional. I'm a vegan and that can be a challenge sometimes - but my waiter was very knowledgeable about veganism and the options I had on their menu. For example he immediately offered to have the kitchen make me some avocado maki off menu. This made me really happy :) On top of the great service, the food was very tasty too - especially the seaweed salad, yam! I'll definitely go again.
