HEREFORD is in line for its first Sushi restaurant – and it's causing a big stir on social media.

But what many excited potential customers may not know is that this won't be just a Sushi bar.

In fact En Sushi in Widemarsh Street will specialise in a fusion of Japanese and home-made Korean cooking, and Swedish food.

That reflects the life experiences of its owner, Pampi Khamluean, who is from Thailand but moved to Sweden before settling in Hereford with her Swedish partner, Peyman Karami.

Pampi, who worked as a chef in Sweden, has got fed up driving to Birmingham for her Sushi and has decided "a small place for me and my friends" – and anyone else who enjoys a taste of the exotic – is what is needed.

So a former barber's shop is being fitted out with a brand new kitchen where Pampi, with the help of two staff, will cook up such delights as bibimbap (a mixed rice and meat/vegeateble dish) or Korean dumplings, or some traditional Sushi.

En Sushi – en is one in Swedish – will have room for 16 customers.

Since news of it broke on social media it has been liked hundreds of times by people whose comments include: "So exciting, OMG, love this, we have to go, over the moon, love this stuff, when do you open".

The answer to the last question is the end of October or early November.
