In the diverse and cosmopolitan city of Birmingham, it is only natural that we have several different kinds of cuisines available. Among those, Asian cuisine has been popular for a long time with sushis, ramen, and rice bowls with katsu and other kinds of curries becoming a staple.
For many people, sushi bars are the go-to place for a nice cocktail with finger or chopstick-friendly food. These small bites pack a punch when it comes to taste. And, with Instagram and TikTok making cooking exotic cuisines accessible to everyone, it’s only a matter of grabbing some ingredients from your local Asian grocery shop.
