The Sushi Co - Notting HillB+Worth Trying

168 Portobello Rd, London W11 2EB · Japanese restaurant, Sushi restaurant · 4.7/5 Google (1594 reviews)

Reservations · Delivery · Takeout

A lively Notting Hill sushi spot with creative rolls, friendly staff, and moderate prices—excellent for casual meals, but service and consistency can be hit-or-miss.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

The Sushi Co delivers reliable casual dining with strong food quality and appealing Notting Hill location, but inconsistent execution—particularly variable rice texture and service speed during busy periods—prevents it from reaching higher territory. Service attentiveness is generally positive, though allergy handling concerns and occasional inattentiveness create reliability gaps. Solid for locals and casual diners seeking fresh sushi and good value, but lacks the consistency and polish of premier neighborhood restaurants.
