Cocina Informal · Japanese and sushi

Empire Sushi Bar

One of the highest-rated sushi kitchens in the city, tucked into the buzzy Valaoritou quarter where the tables spill onto a cobbled lane under paper lanterns. The rolls are the draw — generous, colourful maki dressed with spicy mayo, tempura crunch, chilli threads and torched salmon — alongside karaage and a short list of Japanese small plates. It fills fast after dark, so book or come early.
