Reviews Gaijin Sushi

Been meaning to try here for ages and it didn't disappoint. We sat at the counter so got to see the sushi being made. The chef and staff were really friendly, talked about the food and made menu suggestions. For the quality of food and service, the prices are very reasonable too.

Incredible. A relatively affordable omakase experience to remember! The service from the attentive and chatty staff was flawless, offering their knowledge and expertise in the kindest way. A special shoutout to the chef who knew his stuff, and made the night wonderful, chatting away as he worked right in front of us. The sushi itself was insane, specifically the torched scallops, yellowtail and medium fatty tuna, all of them blew our minds. It’s sushi like we’ve never had before. We both genuinely gasped at the first mouthful of yellowtail, and couldn’t believe our tastebuds with the scallops - truly magnificent. The atmosphere is buzzing, but in an intimate, relaxing kind of way, and the whole night was impeccable. As someone who has often shied away from up market sushi due to the price or believing it couldn’t be THAT good due to its simplicity, tonight has made me realise how ignorant I was to the art. Cannot get over this to be honest, it has made us both want to get straight back in and try some more! Thanks again to a great team and for some top notch food.

Absolutely quality experience. A lot of love has gone into every single detail of this place and the dishes. The sashimi melted in your mouth and the soft shell crab was delicate and light. Every bite should be savoured.

absolutely phenomenal. I usually stick to veggie sushi, but my sister got the spicy tuna roll and I HAD to try it, and it was unbelievable. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was better than some of the sushi I've had in Japan. the staff are lovely, professional but welcoming, everything is stunningly clean and the decor is beautiful, and the chef was extremely knowledgeable about his ingredients and was able to explain the exact sourcing of the fish. completely, utterly fantastic. I live hours away from Birmingham, and I can't wait for the next time life brings me there because I am heading STRAIGHT to Gain Sushi. oh, and the miso soup is divine. so, so, so, SO good!

Came here early Thursday evening with my partner for a bite to eat before we went to the opening of The Lion King at the Hippodrome. From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel really welcome, and we sat at the bar so we could watch the food prep. We stated that we had not tried sushi before and so are looking to be educated. And educated we was. We shared the chef's selection, which had a wide variety of fish, scallops, prawns, and wow, The eel was amazing. I really liked the Miso soup. We tried the Japanese cocktails, which I found to be fruity and sweet. Nice, but not usually my thing, so we asked to try the Sake. We were both given samples of the different Sake they had, and then we selected a bottle with our meal. The owners were really friendly and chatty. It's a pleasure to chef's and owners engaging with the clientele. The atmosphere is nice and chilled, with positive cheery energy. I would definitely come here again.
