Solid option for lunch, but too expensive for what it is. Small place with mostly bar seating,…read morewhich is nice since you can see the sushi chefs work their artistry, but may not be suitable for parties 4+. It's a serious sushi place with a neon sign above the bar that says "no soy sauce" since they want you to appreciate the flavors of the dish. Best thing I had was the negi toro handroll. I also had a great unagi special, but unfortunately it may not always be available. I also tried some of the omakase (which was good but variable in taste) and the donburi was ok. The wasabi garlic edamame was very heavy on the garlic taste and honestly I think I would've just preferred it with light salt.

food was good. Service was a bit strange the waiter multiple times said "oh let me see if I can…read moreremember what this is" I enjoyed it though

Delicious hot meal on a cold, rainy day. We stumbled upon this place while walking around London…read more Everything was so delicious. I had the bibimbap with tofu. The tofu was crispy on the outside and softer in the middle, which is perfect. The veggies were fresh and I loved the sauce that went on top. The orange slices with the check was an appreciated detail.

Wasabi = Lifesaver…read more After weeks of being deprived of flavor and garlic and asian food, I've finally found my refuge. I'm shook at the low ratings for this establishment, but I happen to have a ton of good things to say about Wasabi so... here we go :) 1. Accessibility - It's everywhere in the UK. London, Cambridge, train stations, just everywhere so you can easily find one when you need it. Love that. I literally get their miso soup like every day. Neeeeed. 2. Taste - It's delicious! The rice was never over- or undercooked, katsu was always crispy, and curry was hot & yummy, and sashimi was also approved by my sensitive stomach :) hmm it's difficult to emphasize with the angry reviews about "low quality sushi" and what not, but ya get what you pay for. Actually, I'd say you get better than what you pay for at Wasabi. While I agree you can def get better quality sushi elsewhere, Wasabi (to me) is like a Subway equivalent in the States, so all things considered, I think it's still delicious for what it is & what it costs. 3. Convenience + options - It's super convenient and the options are endless! There are tons of grab and go options like salads, rolls, bento sets, onigiris, sushi sets, chirashi, and so much more including desserts. When I'm in a hurry, I just grab whatever looks good to me and eat it on my way to somewhere. Easy peasy. If you're craving for more, you can get katsus, curry, yaki, korean chicken wings, and a ton of other hot things. So so delish. 4. Price - It's reallyyy cost effective for what it is. When it comes to food, I don't really consider cost as much as I consider quality & convenience. I never remember how much I paid, but Wasabi's quality is always better than what I pay for because I've come here so many times (more than I can count) to try almost everything on their menu and they have never disappointed me with their quality in hot and cold foods. They deserve more, and I'd even pay more really :) 5. Customer service - there's hardly ever a line for things, because everything is so speedy & efficient. Also, (saved the best for last) the employees are so incredibly kind. Literal angels. I try to come here by myself or with friends whenever possible for a health & palate detox. I hope Wasabi continues to be the wonderful establishment that they are, to bring freshness & flavor & joy into our world that can use more.... um.... garlic maybe ;)

Wasabi overall is amazing and fresh. Where this wasabi is located is so convenient as it's in the…read moretrain station. I mean just got off the train and I'm immediately craving sushi where they've located it is immaculate. Also whenever I go here the staff are so kind and amazing. Overall I'm giving wasabi 5 stars!!!

Worst food Ever! Hands down! Ordered to go and got to home…read moresee this inside a bowl of oil! And I asked for No AVOCADOS and they purposely put them inside! The tuna was Grey and smells off! And strangely put in a mini cup on top of hot crispy so it was cooked on the bottom. Ya wtf?!

We went here based on the good Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed. Only reason for 4 stars…read moreinstead of 5 is it was a little pricier than it should have been. The server was definitely 5 stars. We go to sushi quite often but there's always things we don't know, and she explained questions we had about the menu in a very non-condescending way which I really appreciated! She was fast and very friendly. We ordered a medium fatty tuna nigiri, avocado roll, california roll, and a tuna roll. Everything was very good. In particular, the tuna roll was much better than we are used to. We usually get a pile of mushy tuna in our roll, but you knew exactly what you were eating in this roll. This place definitely hits the spot for a sushi craving! There is more seating downstairs, so don't turn away based on the small upstairs. Also, the restroom is modern and very clean - always a perk!

5 stars for sure. Great hospitality and value. The guy at the counter was very friendly and helpful…read morewhen our order couldn't be fulfilled, he offered an alternate and a complimentary sushi dish. Very impressed as our first restaurant stop in London for this visit.

I was seriously craving for sushi all day so I decided to stop by the Youme sushi shop in Earls…read moreCourt and get some take away. I decided to get one of the pre prepared boxes, but you may also sit in the quite big eat in room. I had a long prawn and avocado roll. It was delicious and tasty, only £7.95. Served with three edame and lettuce. Although the young man who served me couldn't care less and could have put in (at least) a fake smile... It explains the 3 stars only.

Am I the only one who thinks this place is kinda icky?…read more It's all downhill from the initial "OOH, SUSHI!" reaction before you go in. I instantly apprehended that only maybe 4 items contain actual fish (no, I'm not counting Crabstick as fish), and one of them is FRIED Tuna Maki? Seriously? (Oh, and it was complete with a WTF-worthy "Non-Mayo" sticker...yeah, don't ask me...) Everything else is some variant on Chicken Maki. Spicy Chicken, Fried Chicken...you name it, they'll have found a way to roll it up with Nori and stick it in a pre-clingwrapped polystyrene tray. Admittedly, it's very cheap, but honestly, I'd rather not have Sushi if this were what it came down to. Do yourself a favour and steer clear.

Yoshino is a great place for me to fall back onto when I cannot think of anything else to eat…read more(really? in Central London?) but want something more healthy and less greasy, and most importantly, CHEAP! I used to think Yoshino was a branch out from Japan Centre to a closer avenue but these other reviewers all say that they used to supply the sushi to Japan Centre but went their own ways. This makes sense! Yes, admittedly their sushi is not the traditional sushi you will see in higher end restaurants, they have the usual California rolls, some fish (but not a lot, like Salmon/Tuna), Chicken etc. It's very Westernised as they have options for mayo/non-mayo, spicy or fried varieties. If you want authentic, this is not for you. If you want cheap and convenience? Keep reading. Taste? It's good for a cheap eat. I never go for mayo options as it just feels weird to have mayo in sushi. Usually I go for Californian rolls and Salmon rolls. 16 sushi will fill you up in no time. The best thing about this place is, the sushi is all wrapped and ready for takeaway, you have different portion sizes, like 4 sushi, 8, or even a bigger selection of different sushi to try. They also accommodate you if you want to put a few different sushi selections into a giant platter to take with you - they can wrap it up for you on the spot since you will always see their employees wrapping up and making even more sushi behind the counter. The prices range from £3-4 for 8 sushi. If you do not fancy takeaway they have several (limited) seats inside the place. One point to note is they only accept cash for purchases under £10.

I'll give it 3.5 actually-rounding up. Hubby surprised me by suggesting my fave cuisine - sushi!…read more One things that put me off at the start was a weird smell in the place and the lack of great service But to the food and drink, I had the viognier and hubby had a Sapporo. We had salted edamame to start, the veggie sushi plate and inside out maki with salmon and chili. All of it was yum and I can't say anything bad about it bc I actually liked the sushi. I will def come back for a quick meal near home

You know that saying 'daylight robbery?' Well I think this applies to feng sushi…read more My cousin and I popped in here for a light snack (as well as grazing through borough market) and we ordered two salads. One power lunch (rice salad) and one tofu salad. each salad cost around £9 and there were the size of a kaiten sushi plate (the teensy ones off belts) Yes, I'm a small girl, but don't assume I can only eat tiny portions. also. this the tofu salad was beyond tiny. 6 MINI CUBES OF TOFU. SIX. I COUNTED. also they said it had french beans, given that they chopped that up in small pieces, I got all of TWO BEANS. with LEAVES. The power lunch-it cost 50p extra and it contained pomegranates, salmon sashimi, avocado and brown rice. WHAT ARE THE PRICE MARGINS FOR THIS? This makes my brain EXPLODE from trying to compare the differences. Both salads also very salty, somebody in the kitchen was angry at miso dressing. I get that salad is supposed to be healthy, but high blood pressure from excess sodium is just well, the opposite of healthy. Just. so. disappointed.

Having done the research, it was with high expectations when I finally step into Kikuchi. Memories…read morereminiscent of Tokyo's sushi bars/restaurants surfaced as familiar smells and sights assailed my senses. We sat at the counter this night (with the counter only reserved for guests who order the omakase tasting menu). On a whim, we decided to order the sake tasting menu as well and were delightfully surprised by their selection - neither my wife nor I are huge alcohol drinkers and we were very pleased with their selection (+ point no. 1). The first dish was the sea bream in salad. The salad was doused with the chef's own plum sauce which went very well with the sea bream that was topped with uni. So far, so good (+ point no. 2). The second dish was the sashimi - 2 pieces of Hamachi, one huge razor clam, and pickled ginger. Both the hamachi and razor clams were fresh and a bit of lime and wasabi went very well with the crunchiness of the razor clams (+ point no. 3). The third dish was the customary grilled fish. Now, I'd name the dish and we did ask twice, but we didn't hear properly so it was something like Eel cheeks (?) but if that piece of meat was the cheek of an eel, that eel would be (holy f**k)-sized. The dish was done to expectations, skin crisp (check), sweet flesh (check), lightly salted (check), grated radish (check) (+ point no.4). Now remember, Kikuchi is a SUSHI restaurant. With the right notes made with the first three dishes, I cannot understate the level of expectation that I felt towards the sushi part of the course. Would the rice be prepared with red or white vinegar? How long would the fish be aged? How would the shari perform with fish taken from this region - would the chef be able to adapt? To cut a long story short, the sushi part of the course was a let down. For starters, the rice was not cooked in vinegar (or maybe the chef had an off-day). The chef then lathered the fish with copious amounts of sauce - all I could taste was salty, rice, and fish meat - the taste from the aging of the fish were all masked. And the uni........ Now uni needs to be done correctly else it will taste rotten. Yeah, the uni just did not work. So to cap it all off, it was an experience. Would it be an experience I'd like to repeat? No. Is it value for money? For £300 and for me, sorry, no. However, do note that they did do things like the sashimi and the cooked stuff quite well, so there's that to look forward to.

My husband and I really enjoyed the omakase! My husband booked our reservation the night before so…read morethe only option was a table instead of the bar but overall the experience was great! The service was great and the food was very fresh and delicious! The one thing that I wasn't a fan of was the wait between the meals. Only two chefs were working and the restaurant was pretty packed on a Friday night. For the price I would say the overall experience was good. There is a spending limit per person at this restaurant so make sure to check..in case it changes but I believe it was 40 pounds. We were there for about two hours total for the omakase.
