Feng Sushi


Nestled along the perimeter of Borough Market on the east side of the Thames River between London Bridge and Waterloo is one of nine London locations of Feng Sushi.

The front facade of the restaurant opens up like a garage door so even if it's raining it still feels like you are outdoors. Within hearing and smelling distance is the buzz and aroma of Borough Market food stalls and commerce.

It's after 2 pm and most of the lunch crowd is pretty much gone. After a heavy day of walking (which in London is everyday) we we're all ready to rest our feet and eat a nourishing meal. All three of us ordered miso soup, a sushi entree and a pint of Kirin.

When on vacation in a big city nowadays, it's difficult to get away or resisting from posting a quick status update on Facebook.... so while waiting for our order, Noelle asked the waiter for the wi-fi code. As a waiter you don't have much choice but give the code knowing that your tip is on the line.

The flavor and presentation of the sushi was clean and simple, not wasting resources on anything that doesn't add value your meal.

We probably could have picked any place to eat in this area and it would have been equally satisfying. Unless you are in a real hurry, you can't help but enjoy your experience at this market. $$
