    Always enjoy their cocktails, Wagyu on those huge hot stones! Lovely salads (try them all, especially the particularly addicting 'Caesar' salad with a japanese twist. Sushi bento also a must.

    The most prevalent of all the Grab N Go sushi, I literally ate at Wasabi's all over London the…read moremost. Even if was to pop in and gab a manju and matcha or an onigiri and Oicha. One thing is for certain is they are extremely consistent. There is something to appreciate about seeing a Wasabi, walking in and grabbing a small box and drink for a few pounds and it being exactly the same as the one you were at yesterday several kilometers away. It's the McDonalds of Japanese. I sure will miss them the most. I even dropped in on one in Birmingham Bullring and it was exactly the same as the first one I visited here in Knightsbridge. I can't wait to try one when I get back to LA and see if it's the same or not. That would be just something short of amazing if the consistency was the same as here in London. Honestly, if I walked by one back home before this trip, I probably wouldn't even look twice or think about out. But now, for bits n pieces, this is a must snack-a-roni for me. I'll be happy to report back if and when I do.

    I love wasabi. It's makes a delicious and inexpensive meal. I love all their rolls, the salmon…read moresushi, milk tea boba, and their chicken Katsu- they're all amazing. The only downside would be that there may not be any seats available especially during lunch hours. I would recommend anyone visiting London to try eating at Wasabi, especially if you're in for a quick, inexpensive and delicious meal.

    First time there with my colleagues for a dinner ! The…read moreplace itself is really small and our group of 14 people had the place for ourselves ! Very comfy ! The place is owned by a Japanese family of six, all working together. This is place is not known for their sushi ( forget it, it's not the main food of Japanese food) but for their katsu ( fried food ) we ordered different dishes to share : edamame, kushikatsu, fried oysters, fishcake, pork, some greens... and of course sake ! Everything was very tasty, it reminded me Japan so much ! I totally recommend this place for enjoying nice and real Japanese food! Also it's not too pricy for London

    This teeny tiny gem of a restaurant is absolutely fantastic. After stopping by in the afternoon,…read moreand finding they were only open in the evenings, say after 6pm, we called ahead to book a table for 2 at 7:00pm. It was a good thing we did, because the place filled up soon after we were seated. This please specializes in battered fried awesome on a stick. So do order some of these fun dishes. I also tried a bit of their sushi, and it was tasty and unfussy. But I think the highlight of the meal was trying new flavours, such as deep fried shrimp wrapped in perilla leaf. They also have a very nice sake and shochu selection. Try the red bean ice cream. Very subtle and a lovely texture with mashed beans included. Our hostess/waitress was a one woman wonder, and she made sure we loved everything. Don't be afriad to ask if you don't know what a sauce or side dish is. I learned I really like the yellow pickled radish called takuan that came with my partner's meal. and it made the hostess super happy too boot, as apparently, according to her, many younger Japanese don't like the flavour. Ah well, I know I did.
