Munch of the Week
Okko
“Okko is a Broadway Market iconic sushi and Japanese restaurant, whose chilli margaritas are like that spicy nice taste of summer. If you are there for a short while grab some tacos, but if you have some time try the incredible rolls and fusion treats.”
This spot was recommended in Ryan Lanji's and Sheerah Ravindren's guide to independent spots in east London.
Location: Broadway Market
