  I have been here just one time last week with a friend and I can definitely recommend this place to others. Though the place is not so great but food is awesome at very affordable prices. I love the tempura and noodles. Salt and pepper squid was amazing and so was the sushi. I loved this place and I am definitely returning.

  I found this gem few months ago and since then regular here. Place is small, casual but staff is lovely and very attentive. Their menu is great, extensive and really good. I have tried so many things and I liked every single of them. Tempuras are worth trying and they have great starters. Prices are so reasonable for this great quality of food they provide. I can blindly recommend this place.

  I have been here a few times with my wife and I love this small place for its great quality of Asian fusion food. Service is really good and professional. I love their salads, especially the sashimi salad, its just amazing. Must try this place and you wont be disappointed.

  I always pass this place and never notice it XD so for once I went to try it out. The place is very small so it’s not the best place for big parties. But the service is very fast; I kinda feel sorry for the waiter because I was rushing him and changed my order but he didn’t get angry at me 🙂 I had the rainbow roll and volcano roll. The prices was decent. Greenwich has lots of sushi places so it’s a bit competitive. Especially since sticks n sushi opened in town centre but I didn’t want to pay 60 😛

  Zaibatsu is located in Greenwich, but away from the main tourist attractions, so it doesn’t get overcrowded by the many tourists that visit Greenwich. It gets very busy with locals and has received some great press and reviews. As I only live a five minute walk away and having eaten here a few times, I thought it was time to post my thoughts on this local sushi eatery.The menu is vast and there are many options to choose from; appetisers, such as gyozas to chicken satay, to salads, tempura, noodles, soups, rice dishes, sashimi and sushi.We started off as usual with some edamame beans, which are always good, chicken satay and barbecue spare ribs. The ribs are very good here and are coated in plenty of the sticky sauce that we all know and love. The chicken on the satay isn’t too dry and the sauce, which is sweet and spicy, has a good amount of peanut flavour too.The yaki udon noodles are a huge portion and are combined with prawn, squid, crab stick, carrot and more. I’ve had better noodles before, but I’ve also had worse. The Chicken gyozas were lovely and crispy outside with a good amount of filling and very flavoursome. Black cod tempura was a dish I was looking forward to the most. Unfortunately, I think there was too much tempura making it very dry, but once you got to the delicate piece of fish, it was delicious. The special fried rice which has the same ingredients as the noodles in it was very tasty and the rice was cooked perfectly.Where this place stands out is with its sushi rolls, in particular the chefs recommendations of their inside out rolls. We opted for some standard salmon rolls which were lovely, and two options from the chefs recommendations; volcano roll and gilded lily roll. The volcano roll with crab meat, avocado, cucumber and topped with a creamy sauce, tobiko and dried shredded chilli, has been named appropriately and looks just like a miniature volcano erupting its flowing lava. The gilded lily roll with prawn tempura topped with wasabi tobiko and gold leaf was the star of the show, looking like royalty and was the best sushi roll I’ve ever eaten!The team are very friendly and the service is great, with dishes coming out the kitchen very quickly. Some may think the place may not be too much to look at, but they certainly make up for it with the food. The very small room may need a little refurbishment, as it currently looks a bit like a caf, but I kind of like it and it doesn’t deter people from eating here. It is also BYO alcohol, so that is an added bonus as you can spend more money on scoffing good sushi and less on nipping to the shop next door to purchase cheap drinks! If you happen to be in the local of area of Greenwich this is a place that shouldn’t be missed. secretscoffer.wordpress.com

  Looking more like a greasy spoon from the outside, you’ll be surprised to look in the window and find generous plates of inviting Asian cuisine. The inside is fairly small and basic but it will bother you less when you realise how good the value of the food is.A cheaper alternative for sushi and sashimi as well as decent rice and noodle dishes.

  Interesting sushi and pan-Asian food combination. Always packed, tiny and slightly shabby premises, could do with a move to a better place…
