Ipfu Sushi
14 George Hudson Street, York YO1 6LP
Ipfu Sushi has recently changed its name from Sushi Waka. The website defaults to the menu in Japanese, which says to me that this restaurant is catering to the large number of Japanese visitors we receive. I’d say that it does not get more authentic than that! If you want sushi like it’s served in Japan, then this looks ideal. Their best selling dishes include Salmon Sashimi Dom and Sizzling Squid with BBQ Sauce.
