The first ever Uber Eats awards have been announced and one small restaurant in Cardiff has made the cut. Sushi Life, which is based on Wellfield Road in Roath, has been nominated for the Restaurant of the Year award, and will be competing with others from throughout the UK.
Earlier this year the public nominated some of their favourite local spots across the UK and Ireland and the shortlist has now been unveiled, representing the most highly rated and most popular restaurants that each area has to offer. Being a hit for both takeaway lovers and people who enjoy heading out for a bite to eat, Sushi Life is an affordable sushi-based spot which showcases amazing fresh food.
And reviews for the small restaurant reflect why it's in line for a national award. "Best sushi ever!," one person wrote on Tripadvisor. "Great value for money, couldn’t fault it at all! Thank you for this! So tasty you need to try it!" Another wrote: "Amazing sushi, tasted lush! The food came out so quickly, nice cosy venue and good service. Great wine also which went down a treat."
One person wrote that it was the "best sushi" they'd ever eaten. Now, if that's not a sign that this place is good then we don't know what is. They said: "Had take out from here the past two nights. Craving more already, not a sushi connoisseur but I’ve had my fair share of it and think this is the best I’ve ever eaten.
"Service is spot on and the staff are very helpful. The atmosphere inside is lovely, will certainly be booking a table here to sit down in the next week. Seems I will now have a problem driving past here without stopping to grab a few dishes. Prices fair, presentation outstanding. Love it!"
Judged by a panel including Prue Leith, the first-ever awards from the food delivery app will see the winner of the Restaurant of the Year win £100,000. Sushi Life is up against some UK giants, with types of food spanning from eastern treats to classics like American BBQ and hearty Italian pizzas.
For the next stage in the voting process, customers can view the shortlist and vote for their favourite restaurants from across the UK and Ireland until June 16 at ubereatsawards.com
