I have to admit, I’m no sushi expert, but prior to sampling Wasabi’s fishy delights, I had only ever eaten supermarket or sandwich-shop attempts and thought that was as good as it got.

How wrong I was…I’m quite fussy where fish is concerned (especially raw fish) but they have so much choice that you’re bound to find something you like. They also have loads of vegetarian options and even chicken sushi! My favourites are the tuna. Very fresh and naturally salty. The rice is cooked to perfection and the soy sauce is sublime (if you’ve had bad, cheap soy sauce to compare it to, you’ll know what I mean).

The price is about right for sushi, you will need to spend £5 - £6 to get a decent-sized lunch. Soy sauce comes in sachets and is 5p extra (I think). You can also get extra chopped ginger, wasabi itself (a hot, horseradish-type stuff) and wasabi peas in a little packet - which make a good snack.

The packaging is wasteful and can be annoying when you get back to your desk at work and have to spend 5 mins unwrapping it all. However, it’s worth the wait and at least you know the sushi is fresh and clean.

Wasabi also sells hot food (bento) - tasty looking chicken and curries and rice dishes. I’ve had these before and some are pretty good, but nothing particularly special.

N.B They have a few small metal tables and chairs for people wishing to eat there, but it gets quite crowded and I much prefer to take mine out.

P.S. I’ve been to other Wasabi outlets at the O2 Arena and near Liverpool street but for some reason the sushi doesn’t taste quite as good there. Strange but true.

This was my first time here and i really enjoyed eating there.
Food was fresh and tasty.the atmosphere is very relaxing.would go there again.

Yum! I love Wasabi (although not the food-stuff.. I digress). If you like sushi, you have to give this place a go. The basics of it are that you grab a little tray, and select what you want from the chiller cabinets. The sushi is priced between £1 and £2 for 2 and the range of choice you get is good. I always overspend a little in there, but that’s more because I’m greedy than anything else. The quality is good and you can’t complain about the cost, certainly not compared to other places..

My only concern is the amount of waste generated, as each item is individually wrapped, but I have to say, my tummy always wins that battle!
