Sushi Fanatics – Amsterdam’s “hidden sushi izakaya” – is to make its UK debut, having secured a first London location at 9 Chapel Market, Islington.
The brand launched onto Amsterdam’s sushi scene in 2020, when owners Erica Ho and Hiu Lai opened a small sushi shop on the Albert Cuyp Market, before relocating in 2022 to a site which allowed them to launch omakase experience Shigure in a “hidden” room later that year.
The duo has since also launched matcha concept Taigu.
Known for their authentic Japanese dishes crafted with the highest quality ingredients, Sushi Fanatics has built a loyal following, combining “precision, freshness, and a modern approach to traditional Japanese cuisine”.
Louie Gazdar at Davis Coffer Lyons acted on behalf of the private landlord to let the 1,000 square-foot unit, which was previously occupied by Hot Stone.
