Our story
Hey, we’re Alex and Lilly. This is our shop at 7 Fisher Street — a Sussex chippy on one side of the counter and a sushi bar on the other.
Lilly runs the front and the fryer, so she is usually the one you speak to and the one who cooked what you carry home. Alex is on the sushi, and that side got here the long way round: a few years of it across different kitchens, something learned in each one, and short training courses taken back in China whenever a holiday allowed. Nobody handed him a knife and a lineage. He picked it up job by job, course by course, and kept getting better at it — which is how most good things in a kitchen actually happen.
Come for the cod and chips, stay for the Korean fried chicken, and when you’re feeling curious, let us roll you some sushi. It all comes off the same counter.
Cooked when you order, not before
Our sushi is rolled when you order it, our chicken is fried the Korean way, and our fish and chips are exactly what a Sussex chippy should be. For parties and events we make large sushi platters, and the big celebration sets can come with a fish carved out of a melon in the middle. Give us an hour’s notice.
Where Korea meets Japan (in Sussex)
Our menu doesn’t keep its cuisines in separate boxes, because we don’t either. The sushi bar works Japanese, sashimi, nigiri, hand-rolled maki, but it borrows Korean fire wherever it makes things better: gochujang through a volcano roll, bulgogi beef in a bento, kimchi we ferment ourselves beside katsu curry.
That’s the “fusion” on the sign: Japanese precision, Korean boldness, British comfort, bibimbap next to battered cod, bubble tea next to a pot of mushy peas. It shouldn’t work. It really does.
