Life - Carta

Visited Life as in the area Place was empty when we entered around 1230 for lunch so I wondered. Turned out to be good price/quality Japanese with very nice yellowfin sashimi and slightly fat but nice sushi

What a find! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to try tasty Japanese food. Very attentive service. Great drinks available (try the sake hot). A good,varied menu. Fresh tasting fish. A wonderfully unusual aubergine starter. Reasonably priced.

This Japanese restaurant in on Old Street next to Goswell Road, several buses and close to Barbican station. We had the Sashimi set (very nice) and the Tempura set (also good). The come with a starter, miso soup, rice, salad and a small dessert. Service excellent and friendly. Also lots of sushi, and an interesting lunch time menu for £22. Nice food and good value.

I'm lucky enough to have Life near to my office, so love to go for lunch here the food and service never disappoints. The sashimi is always fresh, and the set lunch menu with the surprise starter and dessert each time is always great. Although I stick to the sashimi, friends have commented how nice their salmon, chicken and tempura dishes have been. Overall, I would highly recommend it!

Life is one of my most favourite restaurants in London the service is always absolutely impeccable, the food is fantastic (and the waitstaff is very happy to recommend things or to get the chef to come up with some off menu specials). It's not the cheapest restaurant in the area by a long shot, and there is even a better Sushi restaurant nearby (Sushi Tetsu but they only have 8 seats, and it's almost impossible to get a reservation, and is about 3 times more expensive than Life), but Life is still my go to Sushi restaurant. Don't miss it!

My friend recently had his birthday party here in the bar downstairs and him, myself and my wife ate in the restaurant on the ground floor prior to this. The tempura veg and prawns were excellent, not overwhelmed by the fish tempura, we weren't told what sort of fish, or the squid but mostly it was very pleasant. The sashimi was very fresh and of a very high quality and the miso soup was gorgeous, with drinks it came to about £25 a head, nice wine, Asahi on draft and pink grapefruit juice. It was fully booked so I'd recommend booking and there are only about 30 odd covers. The downstairs bar was ok if a bit less polished and if you wish you can hire the decks and play your own music for £10... Ver carta

Came to dinner just because we went for a couple of drinks in the bar downstairs! Didnt look like nothing to have high expectations for. The room is kinda strange... Cold and awkward room setting/atmosphere. i guess theres too much empty space, maybe the decor and light are a bit off too, on the cold side. That being said, we were expecting a pretty standard sushi meal. As soon as we took a glance at the menu we realized there was much more to it! We ended up ordering almost no sushi/sashimi! And we loved everything we ate. The scallops were divine. Had to order more at the end! Same with the slow cooked pork belly. Wagyu beef also very good. In the end we were more than pleased and even sur...

We ended up at LIFE yesterday evening as our friends recently moved nearby and we 'd thought to try our luck. Well, we were lucky! When first walking in we weren 't even sure they were open. It was very quiet, but the staff made us very welcome from the very start. Also, once we were seated it actually turned out to be a lot busier than we thought. The interior is very basic but stylish. The food is absolutely delicious and very good value for money (especially in the Barbican/Clerkenwell area). We 've tried the Tofu and Fried chicken as starters (shared between four of us) which was perfect. After that I chose 3 types of sushi (spicy tuna, scallop sashimi and spider roll) and it 's definite...

Looking for a sushi restaurant to visit in London but didnt want to end up visiting one of the extremely expensive ones where you pay for the view or the actual restaurant rather than the food. So we visited Life because of its good reviews. By stepping into the restaurant its not something special or its not something that will make your night out interesting. The food itself though is very nice : The menu has some interesting sushi plates and a variety to choose from.Even though the food was a bit late to arrive...and we had to ask twice why it was taking them more than 40 minutes to bring the food...I must say that it was worth the wait! Fish was fresh and all sushi/sashimi/nigiri/maki ro... Ver carta
