Help!!Sushi in London!

[MaryUk82]

Asakusa, MY sushi place, is closed for a few days and I need an alternative!
I need another place to take some friends. I love the fact that Asakusa is a REAL Japanese place, but still VERY cheap and with amazing qualities and a great menu (Their takoyakes are amazing!).
Any similar alternative, in terms of food and price?
Ta,
Mary

Thanks! I'll give Eat Tokyo a try....I can't believe Asakusa is closed from the 24th till the 1st!
Anyway, Yes Asakusa is the best, only problem is I always wanna try new things and I still end up ordering the sames ones all the times---I like them too much!

Any other tip is more than welcome!
P.s. Takoyakies are hard to find...harder to forget! I think the Asakusa ones are great, though!

Out of interest, what do you usually order at Asakusa? They seem to do most things well. Was tempted to try the gyu-tataki last time (seared beef) but veered towards the scallop sashimi instead, which was great value and v. nice.

Agreed, Asakusa is great.. Need to try the Takoyaki there though, i've never had it.

On a similar tip is Eat Tokyo in Golder's Green. maybe not quite as good as Asakusa, but still pretty decent homestyle fayre and sushi. And it's cheap. There's also a branch in Romilly St Soho, but the Golders Green one is better I think.

I don't really like the takoyaki at Asakusa much. I think the one from the stall in Brick Lane is marginally better but neither are great. I love Asakusa though, been there at least ten times and I've only tried a tiny bit of the menu.
