Stroud has a new sushi bar with the opening of Kyuri Sushi, serving authentic Japanese and Korean food, at the Five Valleys indoor market.

The menu will consist of fresh sushi, Korean dishes such as bulgogi (marinated thin slices of beef) served with vegetables and rice and the ultimate in comfort food, bibimbap, a bowl of steamed rice, sautéed vegetables and a fried egg - all prepared freshly on site every day.

An assorted range of side dishes will also be available including marinated mixed seaweed, kimchi and pickled radish. There will also be a range of traditional rice cakes.

At the new sushi bar, the menu will be made using fresh ingredients and will be prepared by the experienced sushi chef, Bong Su Cha.

Bong Su has always had a passion for food, first learning the craft of authentic Korean dishes in his mother's kitchen. Ever since, he has always prepared fresh food for his family and has been looking for the right opportunity to realise his true passion and open his own sushi bar.

Bong Su said: "I am delighted to be joining the fantastic traders at the Five Valleys Market, a place that has become a real unique food hub for the area.

"I have always had a huge passion for high quality, freshly made authentic food and I am really looking forward to introducing my menu to the food lovers of Stroud!"

Jessica Derham, Manager of the Five Valleys Market, said: "Kyuri Sushi will be a fabulous addition to our market, bringing another global-inspired food trader and a completely unique menu to our offering.

"We wish Bong Su the very best of luck with his new business venture and, of course, we cannot wait to taste the menu!"
