Sushi Waka in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Mettez a bouillir un poulet, découpez par la suite 5 tristes petits morceaux, ajoutez 2 morceaux de pomme de terre, trois de carotte et ajoutez par dessus de la sauce teriyaki. Vous aurez ainsi réussi la recette magistrale « Dépression du Chicken Teriyaki » (que vous payerez quand même 9 pounds). Je ne nie pas avoir vu passer des plats bien plus appétissants. Or celui-ci vous submergera dans la tristesse absolue. A consommer en tant qu’exercice d’autoflagellation.

Little restaurant, great cuisine! He you can taste real japan specialities, going from sushi to hot dishes. This really different from the "occidental" sushi restaurant. You should try it!

A partir de mi título,He estado yendo allí al azar durante los últimos 10 años y aunque mi última visita fue el año pasado, este lugar siempre ha representado un lugar firme, confiable y constante.La familia que lo dirige es muy agradable.Ayer por la tarde fui con 4 amigos y, como de costumbre, no tengo quejas por la comida que todavía es Dios.El servicio fue agradable, pero en algún momento la camarera dejó caer la sopa de miso en el suelo. Lo que sucedió al final de la cena fue que recibimos una factura muy alta, teniendo en cuenta que ni siquiera tenía un plato principal, pagamos 32 cada uno y adivina qué, ¡2 sopas de miso en la factura! ! ! !Descubrimos que la camarera, encantadora niña china, tenía mucho miedo de decirle al jefe que lo había dejado caer y no queríamos enfatizar esto, pero ya sabes esa expresión en el rostro del gerente. . . . . vergüenza.La próxima vez no seas así.Gracias

Auténtico lugar japonés de aspecto. Menú también de aspecto auténtico. Servicio lento . nuestro pollo teriyaki se sirvió con trozos de zanahoria y 2 frijoles + trozos de patata. . a diferencia de cualquier comida japonesa que hemos comido incluso en Japón. Agua servida en jarra sucia. (el camarero dijo que era de cal) muy poco atractivo. Bill incluye cargo por servicio. .

Lugar muy autentico. Muy accesible. El pescado es fresco. Sushi Waka hace nigiris fabulosos. Son generosos con el pescado. Los temakis también estaban bien. El único inconveniente fueron los makis, que no estaban a la par con el resto del sushi y el servicio un poco lento. Sin embargo, definitivamente volveremos y lo recomendaremos.

Wow, el sushi aquí es bueno y mis expectativas siempre son difíciles de cumplir cuando se trata de sushi. El tamaño de las porciones fue excelente y la proporción de arroz de sushi a wasabi y pescado. Prefiero comer este tipo de sushi sabroso hecho con amor que pagar el triple que el sushi elegante e insípido en un lugar exclusivo.Este es un pequeño lugar, así que espera un poco de espera para ser atendido. También puede valer la pena hacer una reserva, que hicimos solo un par de horas antes de un sábado. Parece ser solo un chef de sushi, por lo que los pedidos de sushi tardaron un poco más. En general vale la pena esperar.Mi marido y yo pedimos el set de sushi. Los otros platos japoneses en el menú también parecían excelentes. Una recomendación para el restaurante sería incluir fotos en el menú de los sets para que quede más claro lo que está incluido.

Vinimos aquí para un almuerzo de trabajo y parecía que algunos de mis colegas habían hecho un pedido anticipado, pero elegí del menú. Nos dijeron que solo un plato podía tener fideos; El resto tenía que tener arroz así que no había swaps en el menú. Tuve la sopa de fideos tempura que era muy sabrosa y una buena porción. La sopa de miso salió sin que la pidiéramos y no conseguí una, así que no estoy segura de por qué, pero nuestro té verde, que tampoco pedimos, también era bueno.No había un gran ambiente, ya que estaba tranquilo y el lugar parecía que podría haber sido un poco sucio, la camarera no era muy buena en inglés, así que ordenar fue difícil pero el sabor de la comida era muy agradable.

Visitamos un sábado por la noche, estaban sentados arriba en los tatamis, lo cual fue divertido. El sushi estaba bien, el sashimi no era tan fresco como estamos acostumbrados, enviamos el ikura de vuelta, que fue reemplazado por el ikura nigiri pero no el ikura en el set de chirashi. La tempura era crujiente, el tamago era bueno. El precio es aceptable. No estoy seguro de que volveríamos, mejores lugares en Londres. Leer las críticas favorables sobre este restaurante. . . Me pregunto si fuimos al mismo lugar. . . ! Decepcionado.

Autentisk japansk mat, trevlig personal och fantastisk atmosfär. Rekommenderar starkt ett besök på Sushi Waka!

Really nice place! Authentic atmosphere and great service. Make sure to reserve a table on the top floor to enjoy the full experience. And make sure to try the tuna sashimi!

Amazing tuna and the sashimi was out of this world. Friendly staff. Be sure to book on the upper floor where they have a tatami room.

Nice decor. Friendly service. Food is on a good standard and loads of options to choose from. Cost is acceptable/reasonable. Recommended for a visit. One of the best Japanese restaurants at London.

He estado en Sushi Waka un sábado por la noche. Primero, me complació el ambiente, que es simple, muy tradicional y acogedor. En segundo lugar, está la opción del arroz pegajoso. Algunos restaurantes de sushi en Londres no, y te mueres de hambre. Este no es el caso. ¡Tercero, el mejor sashimi de mi vida! ! ! Los platos son muy tradicionales, encontrará rollos tradicionales, sashimi y sushi, pero no encontrará rollos extravagantes con salsas derramadas por todas partes (¿quién los quiere, por cierto?). Vaya allí y tome el sashimi de atún (o la mezcla) y los rollos de atún graso. Y vuelve. Estoy absolutamente enamorado de este lugar.

We ate sushi and chicken teriyaki. Very good food. The staff were nice, helpful and polite. They asked if my son wanted wasabi or not to his sushi.

my son want to have noodle we then chosen this family style Japanese shop.

Amazing and quaint little establishment where the interior design gave strong Japan vibes. Food was fresh, tasty and definitely worth a visit!

the menu offers lovely choices, but the quality is mediocre since the food was not as fresh leaving you think they just warm it up for you, the staff especially manager is weirdly rude that kind of making you think twice whether to visit again

Venue is quite cozy and my colleague and I managed to find a table for two by the door which can be cold!

I'd heard about this place from a friend and decided to give it a try. Parkway gets quite busy on a Friday night but when we arrived (8ish) there was a lot of free parking available. I'd never tried saké before so tried the sampler of three for £9.50. I loved the sweet plum saké and we ended up ordering a whole bottle. We ordered pork gyozo, assorted sashimi (£13), prawn tempura, deep fried soy and ginger chicken, rice and chicken teriyaki. The tempura batter was light and crispy, the sashimi wonderful-a great mix of different fish. I didn't find the teriyaki great...it had skin on and wasn't as tasty as I've had elsewhere. I loved the deep fried chicken though others found it too salty. We tried all four ice creams. Loved the red bean one and the toasted sesame. Found the green tea bitter but others loved it. The citrus one was like vanilla ice cream with Seville orange peel. Had a refreshing taste. The bill came to £113 for four including saké totalling £31...so around £20 each for food. Not unreasonable for Camden or for really good Japanese food. I'd eat here again.

Excelente tradicional sushiplace justo al lado de la estación de metro de Camden.

Me comí la peor comida que he tenido en mucho tiempo. La camarera no era muy servicial cuando nos preguntamos sobre los platos. Mi amigo y yo pedimos la caja bento uno con salmón teriyaki y uno con pollo teriyaki. La comida era horrible. Tanto el salmón y pollo frito eran realmente mal y era difícil en los bordes. No es nada agradable en el resto de la caja. Lo único bueno era la botella de cerveza asahi.

The quality of food served here is nothing short of excellent. If cooked, it will be cooked to perfection, if raw is of high quality. Service is very sweet and attentive. Tasty and authentic Japanese food highly recommended

Very few 'vegetarian' options listed, all of which were deep fried. After asking the waitress it transpired that the vegetarian dishes were cooked alongside meat and fish in the same oil, so not actually vegetarian at all. The only truly meat-free options were plain boiled rice, boiled spinach, and pickles. Very disappointing.

Vine aquí en 18/07 / 17. El nigiri era bastante agradable. Había un poco de espera por el servicio - incluso conseguir una bebida -independientemente de ordenar comida. Cuando llegó estaba muy bien. Tuve la cola amarilla y básicamente todo en el menú nigiri.

Desde que llegó allí, se convirtió en visitante frecuente para disfrutar de todo lo que "Taisho", el chef sirve.

Delightful local sushi restaurant. In an era of chain restaurants and boring food, Sushi Waka is a huge cut above the rest. Beautiful, fresh food, very reasonably priced and a family restaurant that clearly cares about its business, this is definitely a place worth visiting!...

Muy buen japonés en Camden, el sushi y rolls era excelente, fresca y asequible. Un cálido servicio.

Encontramos este lugar en nuestro paseo por Camden. Yo estaba deseando una sopa o una cena ligera pero al final terminamos en este restaurante japonés. No soy un experto en sushi, porque no puedo ni siquiera en carne cruda, pero la opción vegetariana, me atendieron muy bien. Yo diría que es la relación calidad-precio, la ubicación era un poco "viejo" y polvoriento. Pero disfruté de la realidad auténtica de la mujer japonesa que sirve con una actitud bastante fuerte.

This place has the best authentic sushi in London. The fish is properly cut, the sake is properly served. They do not have the fancy shmancy rolls you get at other places sushi and sashimi is what you want to eat here. We have been going for 4 years and we will not find better sushi for better price. Pickled veggies and pork belly is a must.

カムデンタウンの駅から少し西側、動物園の方に歩いたところにある和食・おすし屋さんです。定食や居酒屋的なメニューもありますが、なんといってもお寿司・お刺身がお勧めです。もっと値段がすごく高くておいしいおすし屋さんはロンドンでほかにもありますが、リーズナブルなのに質の高いということではここに勝るお店はないと思います。まずマグロ、あとは鯖のお刺身もお勧めです。

Literally the worst Japanese restaurant I have been too. We are regular sushi eaters and it's the worst sushi ever. Bland no flavour! When told the waitress they didn't care just said "its traditional sushi" do not recommend!!!

I dont really recommend to go in this place!! Quite expensive, the waitor didnt even speak English so he could not understand properly what we wanted, wasabi comes included in every single piece of sushi (generally it is an option) leaving a toxic taste in your mouth.On the other hand the fish was fresh and of good quality...Not really recommended and i dont understand all the positive comments! Try a different restaurant... Please!!

Very good traditional japanese food for a good price. Don't miss the fried oysters or the fermented squid. If you are not that adventurous the set menus are also excellent and for an affordable price.

I like be this place, it's not cheap but the experience is worth every penny. Really good honest sushi and many great dishes.

友人と一緒に夕飯に行きましたが、手軽に美味しいおすしと家庭料理が食べられました。あなごのてんぷらがおおきくて嬉しかった。

da amante del sushi mi viene da consigliare questo posto!! accogliente e carino il locale, a gestione familiare. il cuoco è un anziano e dà proprio l'idea di aver scelto il posto perfetto per mangiare sushi! il sushi era squisito e fresco! i prezzi nella norma. Per una cena per due con una portata grande di sushi, una di sashimi e una tempura e bevande abbiamo speso circa 40 sterline.

Unassuming looking but obviously popular Japanese restaurant opposite Dublin Castle. Had very nice set menu dinner before going to gig. Good value and friendly service...and not a chain

寿司のネタが新鮮で大きいことで有名です。なす田楽とか鳥のから揚げとか、家庭料理が美味しいです。料亭のような上品な美味しさを求めるなら、この近所にある別の和食屋さんのほうがいいかもしれません。1か月に1回くらいの割合で行きますが、店内がもう少しキレイだったらなぁ・・・と思います。2階の座敷へ行く階段などは、登るとペタペタ音がしますし（たぶん長年の油汚れ？）、店内の飾りも古ぼけています。古き良き、昔の日本っぽい雰囲気で、まるでお婆ちゃんの家に遊びに行ったような気分にはなりますが、せっかくお料理が美味しいのだから、もう少しすっきりと清潔感のあるお店だったら気持ちよく食べられるのになぁといつも思います。

Cooked food is not bad, but sushi/sashimi is great. They have clam sushi in their very reasonably priced sushi set.You may ask to be seated upstairs in the tatami floored room for dinner service if you'd like a change. It's not totally the traditional experience, but it is very unique in London.The food at lunch prices is a steal (7-8 pounds), but I felt that the sushi was not as good as at dinner. But then again, this is subjective.I go once a month basically, so I feel conflicted writing such a good review.

We go there very regularly, this is absolutely brillant. Try to get a table upstairs, you can seat like in Japan on the floor. Super coolThe food is delicious, fresh, quality...You must try the salmon eburi and the aubergine with soy sauce. This is the best dish in the world.

Very authentic Japanese space upstairs. I had the hot udon noodles with tempura - was very yum and a decent sized serving. My sister ha the assorted sushi platter and it looked awesome. We had a reservation but it wasn't too busy for a Friday night. Will definitely be back!

Reminds me a lot of Japanese restaurants I used to visit - really tasty food and a traditional feel. Definitely a nice place to go to for lunch!

Came here with my friends to celebrate someones birthday. Made a reservation for 10 and got seats at the tatami mats on the upper floor of the restaurant. Once I entered the restaurant, I felt like I was in Japan again. It was a really enjoyable meal as they gave one free cup of green tea. We ordered various kinds of sashimi and rolls to share and I must say that the sashimi was really fresh and was considerably 'melt in your mouth', which I really enjoyed. I ordered a gyu don (beef with onions and rice) set, which came with miso soup and fruits. The gyu don was good and the meat was not tough. The miso soup was authentic and the fruits were cut in a cute fashion, which I thought was a nice touch! Really shows the attention to detail in the food that they prepare. Overall was an enjoyable experience with my friends and even though it is a little pricey, it is still worth the money for authentic Japanese food. Worth spending on.

The interior is interesting, and the staff are very charming. The menu is reasonably priced, and everything was very fresh and well prepared. I did not have any cooked dishes so cannot judge but enjoyed the sushi a lot. There was too much wasabi in some of the pieces of nigiri which made my eyes water and took away the flavour of the fish but this is just my personal taste and I will ask next time not to have it.

Food was great and staff were really friendly. Loved the little room at the top of the restaurant where you can sit on cushions - very authentic. And very reasonably priced, £30 for 2!

The freshness of the Sashimi to the hospitality of the staff, need I say more? The Gyoza was bursting with goodness and the pork belly was cooked to perfection. Much much better than Sushi Samba and at a very affordable price. They have a yummy selection of Sake too!

Delicious food, good portions and great value for money given the location just off Camden high street. The authenticity of the place simply cannot be questioned. Not one to skip out on if you're a sushi / Japan aficionado!

We went for a friends birthday to sushi waka as it was recommended to us. we ordered large party option for £25 that had very yummy aubergine as a starter with pickled cucomber, followed by sashimi beautifully servered on a boat, followed by fried chicken and potato crocketes that tasted like fried potato salad ( strangely it worked) followed by amazing sushi platter and nigiri rolls. All the food vas fresh and delicious. service was lovely. I will be back soon :)

Se volete mangiare del buon sushi a Londra per me questo è 1 dei migliori, andate a mangiare presto perché la cucina chiude alle 21e30

My daughter has been going on about this place for ages... So my sister was in town so we went. I ordered the scallops to start, my daughter ordered battered prawns and my sis tempura prawns. My scallops came first and they were ok. The prawn tempura I preferred the prawn in batter was tasteless.I ordered Salmon teriyaki which came on a sizzling platter, with carrots n hard potatoes....I ate the salmon and my boiled rice it was ok I was hungry but not impressed. £55 later I paid the bill and left unimpressed. My daughter had the same...My sis had Miso soup which she said was nice!Oh yes she also had pork fried dumplings which were gross and watery not enough meat! Service was slow, restaurant was very very loud and I won't be back!

Terrible experience, food was not served as described. My complaints to management were brushed aside, definitely never again!

I have lunch here whenever I take my daughter to the London Zoo. I just appreciate their service and quality food. Tempra and Sushi are always fresh and high quality. Only thing I am not fan with is the hard cooked plain rice that is served with Sashimi, but I understand this is because they are the Sushi specialist, and they have to cook the rice perfectly for Sushi which is usually harder to add some rice vinegar. Therefore the Sushi is just so perfect, and I appreciate the chef's skillful cooking and the price.

I first attended this restaurant 20 years ago when it was still a Japanese restaurant but under a different name, so on impulse I thought it was way overdue for another visit.I decided on lunch and when I arrived it was clearly busy so the waitress apologetically suggested that I return in 15 to 20 minutes, which I did. On return I was greeted by another woman who was clearly the manager or owner who categorically told me that they were full, I mentioned that 15 minutes earlier a waitress suggested that I return in 15 minutes, I also asked if I could eat at the bar, this was dismissed with an apology and what I would describe as a old and recognizable dodgy behavior, so as soon as I left Sushi Waka I phoned to book a table which they gave me in 5 minutes! I returned to find a man eating at the bar with plenty of chairs available and I faced the same Woman who could obviously be seen that she had been exposed. She offered silly excuses and apologized (she seemed good at that).I am a very well traveled man who obviously can see when he is being discriminated against.22/6/15

Siamo stati a mangiare in questo posto delizioso una sera per caso, attratti dalla semplicità in mezzo a mille catene di ristoranti e siamo stati molto fortunati! Ramen favoloso e sushi freschissimo, cordialità estrema da parte del personale, se passate per Londra merita assolutamente. Essendo a gestione familiare la cucina chiude alle 21:30, quindi meglio non andare troppo tardi. Ah, dimenticavo, ottimo prezzo.

Nos encanta este restaurante, el sushi está muy bueno y tienen un menú que sale por unos 24 pounds que tiene sopa de miso y fruta para postre. Id a probar el sushi!!

カムデンタウンで長くお寿司屋さんを経営しているお店です。常にお客さんで賑わっているうえ、寿司ネタも新鮮で楽しめます。イギリスは寿司ブームですが、ここに来れば同じ値段でぐっと素材の良い寿司を楽しむことができます。お店の雰囲気は昔ながらの雰囲気でデート向けという感じではありませんが居心地が良いので駐在員など日本人にも大人気です。独りでも行けるのも魅力です。

You are not coming here for the location, although it is very clean, staff is great, food very tasty and good! The area is very british, so it is worth!

Ate upstairs - loved the shoes off, cushion sitting, loft vibe up there. We were a big party for my birthday and were warned it could take a while to get our food out to us if we didn't opt for the party menu, but I think they did very well. Can't be easy serving such a large table and having to go up and downstairs with food and drinks, but they were amazing. The waitresses were polite, attentive, friendly and the sushi was delicious! We will definitely be back. Thanks for making my birthday meal such a positive, memorable experience!

Great value and truely delicious Japanese food. Upstairs is particularly special, sitting on the floor is a unique experience.

We had a quick bite to eat in here before heading to a gig. We were short on time, so were pleased with the prompt service. Its a simple place with simple food. I ordered a raw salmon with salmon roe on rice, which was delicious and a good sized portion. I've never has Salmon roe and I loved the little pink jelly ball texture, which seem to burst when you bite into them. There was also some sliced white substance, which could have been scallop, that also had a lovely jelly texture. My partner ordered a tempura noodle, but was served a tempura without the noodle. The staff were quick to exchange the food without fuss.

After reading various reports was excited to try it out.....had a Saturday night dinner with friends, service was slow even though it was not busy...... but staff are polite.Food is expensive for small portions.....ordered a special salad with dressing,,,turned out to be a poor mans coleslaw....hardly Japanese......Asakusa round the corner is better.We were told last orders about 10pm...when we tried to order were told run out of rice.....they missed out some of our order but apparently didn't charge us....I am not fluent in Japanese so cant read the bill. Came to over £140 for four with one glass of wine.....left hungry.

Stumbled upon this place on a trip to London as wanted to visit somewhere independent among the never ending sea of chain restaurants.Try get a table upstairs and you'll be treated to an amazing dining experience you won't find at any chain.Gorgeous food,reasonable prices for London and lovely knowledgeable staff.Marvellous

What a hidden gem! Just off of Camden Highstreet is this fantastic Japanese restaurant.It is only small, but is very authentic with fantastic Japanese decorations all over the place. The menu has so many different items it hard to choose what to have, and they are all so reasonably priced! The food quality is amazing, the best sushi I have had! I make it a mission to go every time I am in London.

le personnel est serviable et très gentil. Nous avons pris une formule ou il y avait plusieurs choix et n'avons pas été décu. Nous étions dans la salle du haut et nous en garderons un joli souvenir car nous n'avions jamais manger comme ca ! -table basse et sans chaussure- je recommande

This is probably my new favourite Japanese restaurant in London! Great food at reasonable prices (this is London, after all, they could be a lot higher) in a nice friendly atmosphere. What was extra special for our unbooked birthday gathering was that we were seated in the special traditional Tatami room upstairs! The only thing I think that could be improved is the shopfront, which needs a little sprucing up, but such a minor thing won't stop me from visiting again! Highly recommended

An authentic little Japanese restaurant. Seems to be family ran. We go there regularly and the staff is.always charming and the food fresh and well prepared. They have an upstairs where you sit on the floor with your shoes off like in Japan. Tuna sashimi was the best I tried. Highly.recommended.

I first encountered Sushi Waka whilst living in Camden. The restaurant appears quite unassuming from the outside and inside the atmosphere is relaxed, warm with a strong traditional Japanese feel. The staff are welcoming and charming. The food is also absolutely delicious, authentic and great value for money. Despite having moved away from Camden some time ago I still make an effort to get back regularly as I love it so much and highly recommend Sushi Waka to every I know!

Visited with my family. The food area little pricey, however, taste are great. Lovely atmosphere. Would visit again.

Went here with a Japanese friend for dinner. Was invited upstairs as they were too packed downstairs (something I take as a good thing!). Upstairs turned out to be a Japanese style room where you take off your shoes and sit on the cushions with the short tables. I think it added to the evening as I felt like I was in Tokyo sitting there munching fresh, tasty sushi and then bean curd ice cream. I felt it was very reasonable prices and the service was perfect. There is one cup of free green tea and you pay to get refills.I think I finally found a sushi bar worth visiting over and over even if I do have to track all the way to the other side of London to get it! :3

If you can get the little booth at the back you really feel you are in japan. Service is so polite and what you would expect. Everything from the miso soup to the sushi itself is first class and very reasonably priced. Mixed sushi plate is a great call for one person and team it up with a shaqred tempura or something and you have a great lunch and you would not believe you were 10 yards from a busy london street. Easy to find - right opposite the Dublin Castle.

My boyfriend and I went for a quick pre-gig dinner on a Tuesday evening. We weren't the first table despite it being early. The menu is great, covers the classics and some things I hadn't seen before. They also have an extensive choice of sake. We both had the Sushi Waka Special which included sushi, sashimi, tempura, teriyaki chicken, rice, miso soup, pickles and fruit for (I think) £19.50. Excellent value for the huge and delicious meal we both had. The waitresses were lovely, very attentive but not invasive and the food arrived quite quickly. I would have loved to try the homemade sesame ice-cream but we had to dash- we'll definitely be going back! I imagine that it is important to book on Fridays or Saturdays as it is small.

A family run restaurant, very small but cute with traditional elements of Japanese culture. The fish was very fresh and yummy.

Sushi Waka is a family run restaurant and you can feel that all the dish are made by Japanese Chef. All the waitress are japanese and you can order in english or japanese, Yeah, it is pure japanese tradicional restaurant. I like it very much.

One of my favourite traditional sushi places to go to! Its a small and intimate setting so you do feel as if you have found a little gem near the heart of Camden. The fish is generous and the set menu/bento boxes are very good. The price is very reasonable as well for sushi standards and the green tea ice cream finishes off a good meal. I've visited this place with my boyfriend as well as friends and they are also pleasantly surprised to find such a good sushi place relatively nearby. Location wise its a 5-10 minute walk from the station so I've come to Camden before just for the restaurant. Its a small place so I would recommend booking other wise you will be disappointed. As long as things keep running the way they are, I can see myself coming here time and time again!

I'm a regular here, and it never disappoints. Excellent sushi and hot dishes (I recommend the soft shell crab). There's a gorgeous Japanese room upstairs if you fancy a more authentic experience. The bill never comes to more than £40, which is a good amount of food and Saki. Definitely the best in Camden, and one of the best in London for the price.

Four of us enjoyed an early dinner at Sushi Waka before a gig at the Jazz Cafe. On a Tuesday night it was full, I was glad we had booked. The sushi was lovely, fresh and beautifully presented, marred only by the chef's over-generous hand with the wasabi - I like wasabi but here we couldn't taste the fish for the eye-watering amount of it. Great value, I would go back but tell them to go easy on the wasabi.

にぎり寿司のネタが大きいことで有名だと思う。たしかにお寿司は比較的手頃な料金で、値段のわりにはおいしいかもしれない。しかし、お寿司以外の料理は注文しない方が無難。どれもこれもはっきり言って、食べられたものではない。まず、ごはんが最悪。ロンドンでおいしいごはんが食べられないのはわかっているが、それにしてもひどい。店の造りもつぶれかけのそば屋のような感じで美しさがみじんもなく、清潔感にも欠ける。あと、どうしても理解不能なのが、ひとりずつ別々に注文した寿司をひとつの器に盛ってくること。せめてひとりずつのオーダーがまとめてあればまだしも、彩りや見栄えを考慮してのこととは思うが、まったく区別なく並べられていて、どれが誰の注文かわからなくなっている。これは他の店でもあることだが、改めてほしい。

We love this place. We probably go there at least once a week and have never been disappointed (except once when we went on a Sunday and they were closed!) The fish is always beautifully fresh and generously portioned. The cooked dishes are fresh and delicious (the black cod in particular is a favourite.) The decor is not sleek and modern but this is a restaurant with real character and we like that, it's so nice to go somewhere authentic for a change! A good tip is to ask for a table upstairs, especially if you're going with kids, sitting on tatami mats is a real treat.

I went there last week for my girlfriend's birthday because she really loves Sushis. I actually wanted to book Asakusa but they were full and recommended me to go there. I have to thank them for the recommendation. We went there with a couple of friends. I was unfortunately not aware of the 1st level room when I booked, but we had the table near the counter which was a really lovely table for the four of us. We mostly ordered nigir and maki, plus kara-age and gyozas. The food was really really nice. The fish was fresh and tasty.I have to say I have been really happy to find fatty tuna and barely cooked salmon nigiris that I only had the chance to eat in Japan. The only disappointment was maybe the octopus, but the other sushis were all really good. I really liked the look of the restaurant, really typical. To be honest however, the toilets run down which is surprising for a japanese resstaurant (If you've been to japan, you know what I mean).Service was perfect. And the price was a good deal considering the quality of the food.

Worked about 200 yards away from this place and passed by it many times without considering eating there as it was so small and not particularly attractive. Ended up having dinner there one night with a colleague who said he remembered eating there and it was ok. Sushi Waka is a lot more than ok. It's great fresh authentic sushi with a Japanese staff (I've seen both an older gentleman and a younger lady preparing sushi at the sushi bar). They have great combos et definitely offer some nice single servings (2 pieces) type dishes. Dessert is never fancy in a sushi place but their's is quite reasonable. Ended up going there every other week or so. Just great!

After working /touring in Japan a friend introduced me to Mr Sushi Waka,wowit felt like I had gone into a parallel universe,from Camden into Japan,the sushi is outstanding,fantastic service(if you know how to call them).Really,love the understated decor and the Sushi chef is so real..If your a decor snob rather than a food afficiondo then get ready but if your going to a restaurant for great food then look no further,this is as real as it gets outside Kyoto....Sushi Waka Ichi Ban ....

My favorite restaurant, good ambient, great fresh fish, good portions, good ice cream and good price. Its small and intimate, and if you ask for a table on the top floor you sit on tatami. I highly recommend it

I have been going to this restaurant for many years and it is always a real treat. The staff are excellent, the chef is a wonderful character and the food is always top notch. The prices are excellent and the place is always full of Japanese people which is a testament to how good the sushi is. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. We had our daughter's 21st birthday party on the top floor and it was a memorable night. The chef brought up a large golden bowl and everyone drank saki out of it!

Generous portion sizes, but I'm not sure if that's just because the chef doesn't know how to cut fish properly. Food is generally ok, not cheap but reasonable for Camden.The toilets however are grim (see other reviewers photos). I'm surprised the place hasn't been shut down by health and safety. I would recommend the bento box down the road.

This restaurant was one of my favourite spots for after-work dinner when I used to work in the area. Made my way back to Camden last night and headed straight to Sushi Waka for some sushi on a summery afternoon.OK, yes, the deco can use some updating and the area leading to and in the ladies' could use a proper clean as the smell wasn't very nice. But if you can look past these, then Sushi Waka is a great place to get some good sushi. We shared mix platters of maki and nigiri, tempura, and some really delicious and super tender slow-cooked pork. We enjoyed our meal and never once felt rushed even though the restaurant filled up when we're in the midst of having our dinner. Empty plates were swiftly cleared and once we're done with dinner, they brought small plates of fruit to cleanse our palate - lovely.Service has definitely improved when I was here last so one can only assume they've been taking the reviews seriously and good for them!Can't wait to go back!

I regularly go to this place, once or twice a week as I'm an avid sushi fan and I must say that this place doesn't disappoint.It's a small little independent sushi restaurant, which looks very Japanese. I can see a few people aren't too impressed with the decor, but for me I appreciate the authentism and feel it adds to the charm of the place rather than look like some commercial clone. They have a separate menu for lunch and dinner, and I mostly know of their lunch offering - which consists of various bento boxes, rice dishes, udon, and sushi. Everything that I've tried on their is excellent, with Box A being a little treat for me. Also, their miso soup is amazing!The prices are pretty good, ranging roughly from £5 - £9 - which is fairly standard for Camden and fairly cheap for sushi.I find the service very welcoming, and although the lady's English is a tad limited, I always appreciate her welcoming nature. I've been going in for around 2 years now and thought it was about time I wrote a review and give back to the Tripadvisor community! Enjoy :)

First, I'd like to say that the owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. That said, the prices were very reasonable, but the food was just alright. The sushi was pretty good, but not the other dishes. In all honesty, I could not get past the very fishy smell and unclean appearance of the place. I know that would not be a problem to a great many people, but it was for me. I felt like I was sitting in a restaurant in China or Hong Kong with Andrew Zimern. We also sat next to the fish tank, which was not clean and had gold fish that were on their last breath. There are a good number of people who gave Sushi Waka great reviews, maybe they know more than I do.

You can't beat £7 for a bento box. We love this place, full of kitsch Japanese scrolls, dolls & cute cats. Very genuine Japanese, the sushi chef is a great character, friendly, fast service and really good sushi. This is not top notch and for sure it could have a lick of paint as one reviewer said but then you'd lose the charm. Fish is always fresh and clean, they often have genuine Japanese items like natto and uni, this for me is the mark of a good sushi restaurant. If you want fast, modern then go Bento nearer the station but for me Sushi Waka wins every time for good Japanese!

Really great sushi, delicious tender sashimi and sushi, went here for lunch and was super impressed by the quality of the food here.Wasnt amazed by the decor so if you are looking for a flashy restaurant go elsewhere, however if you are looking for fresh, authentic sushi and great prices then look no furtherService was good too - very friendly staff

I have seen that opinions about this place is clearly divided, and I could sympathise with some of the comments. However, I think this place is very good indeed. It's not perfect (but what is?), but in my view definitely not that bad. Let's start with some negatives, the decoration is definitely too busy and old-fashioned. Many people might think it is out of touch with modern London. I don't mind it at all. My husband and I normally sit upstairs at the traditional Japanese tables (see pic). Granted, sitting on the floor is not comfy, but we think it's fun, and adds to the whole Japanese authentic theme of the place (the chef and waitresses are all Japanese. I frequently observe Japanese clientele happily chatting with them, or sitting at the bar, chatting with the sushi chef). But I understand the decor/tables are not for everyone. Service - it can be quite uneven. Sometimes, I observed, was because of the waitresses being insufficiently trained. However, we have never had any rude service. They smiled and said hello and goodbye (the chef shouted hello and goodbye loudly in Japanese as customers walked in or out). Food - I love the food here very much. In terms of sushi, I don't think it's the best or freshest sushi I have ever had. But it is not bad. At this price the sushi is never going to be of the quality you expect from, say, Nobu or Zuma. But I never had bad fish. Admittedly I don't order much raw fish. Last time I ordered sweet prawn and tamago nigiri, which were very nice. I attached a picture here. But what I really like here is grilled fish. My usual choices are grilled saba, grilled salmon with salt, and miso-marinated grilled black cod. These are of excellent value - all under £10 per portion I think. I also love this cold dish of marinated mixed seafood with seaweed and cucumber - a selection of fresh seafood is marinated in sweetened vinegar. It is very authentic but I think it is a quiet taste. I love all marinated dishes, so this is my personal favourite (see pic). My friend once ordered the grilled unagi (eels) dinner set, and she seemed to enjoy it (see pic).Other dishes which we have tried and liked include chicken korokke (deep-fried chicken croquettes), chicken namban (similar, but with sweet mayo sauce), deep-fried oysters (I know it sounds weird, but I had this dish for the first time in Osaka and just loved it), and aubergine topped with sweet miso paste. We normally ordered many dishes to share, and usually ended up spending about £20 per person, which I think is not bad for London/Camden. Whilst this is not my most favourite Japanese restaurant in London, it serves very nicely as my local Japanese place. I eat here once a month, on average. I can see that this place is not perfect, but I still think it is very nice. I have always experienced friendly service (efficiency may vary) and good quality food at reasonable price.

This is the first time i've ever done a review, i'm doing it as a warning to others not to go here and eat rank food!!! that might sound harsh but its true.I came here for a quick bento box for lunch on wednesday 6th march. i can honestly say i've never eaten worse sushi in my life. they must have a new chef because i can't imagine anyone giving this any good reviews. the sashimi was horrible. i couldn't finish it. the vegetables in the tempera where cut so thickly and were crunchy from not being cooked properly. whoever cooked it was not a trained sushi chef, i can say that for sure. the staff who served the food we're pleasant enough but when you treat yourself to sushi, you do so because you want to enjoy the food, this made me feel depressed. it tasted as if i had tried to give sushi making ago using ingredients from a petrol station. stay away!

I went to this sushi restaurant today, because of all the good reviews it have received here on tripadvisor, but I have never been more let down in my life. Seriously! The first thing that struck us was how shabby the place looked. But we was sort of expecting that, and got the table on the second floor (as recommended). The place smelled a bit like urine, and we considered to leave, but we gave it a shot. We ordered a mix of sushi and a Waka Special (or something like that), and the food we got was absolutely horrible, and this was the first time that I have not been able to finish my platter. The fish was dry, and I'm pretty sure the tuna had some sort of crust on it. The pieces of fish was way to big, and not cut in a proper way. The fried stuff we got tasted nothing, the chicken smelled a lot like turkey, the salmon was inedible, the maki rolls tasted funny, the teriyaki was definitely NOT teriyaki and the miso soup was not properly made. And we actually had to pay for all this: 44 GPB. You may think I'm exaggeration? Well, I'm not! Go check it out yourself if you don't believe me

Sushi Waka is about 300m from Camden Town tube station. As a masive fan of sushi, and having read reviews of this restaurant, I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The decor isn't flashy by any means, but the food was fabulous. It is the most authentic Japanese restaurant I have been to in a long time and the upstairs eating area is a must. The food comes quickly and the waitresses are delightfully friendly. The sashimi was superb, and you must try the blackened teriyaki cod. Big thumbs up.

After reading the reviews, I wanted to try it out and check if Sushi Waka was really that good. I love Japanese food and expect a high quality and freshness of the food.That was No disappointment. The food is very good, the sashimi finely cut and very fresh, the sake is delicious, the staff very nice, and our food arrived promptly.As some people mentioned, sit upstairs for a more japanese experience (if you dont mind crossing your legs). Highly Recommended and I will be back, when visiting London.

The sushi here is always fresh and the sashimi is finely cut. The chirashi set is highly recommended! Sit upstairs for a very Japanese experience!

This secret hide away in the heart of camden is like stepping into Japan. Eating upstairs is a must!Real authentic Sushi

We entered this Restaurant purely by chance and loved it!The food felt authentically Japanese and was very reasonably priced.Would love to go back.

I went to this restaurant with my friend last month, The service was slightly bad becaused the place was busy, staff did not serve drinks quickly enough, but food they serving was authentic Japanese dishes which was quite delicious and price was cheaper than other Japanese restaurants. I recommend “Gindara saikyo-yaki”(Marinated Black Cod in miso paste) and “Nasu dengaku” (Deep fried aubergine with sweet soybeans paste), “Gyu teriyaki” (Beef teriyaki).

The best sushi I've found in London. The tempura's great too. Try the taru sake. Lovely.Upstairs is great. Take your shoes off and sit at low tables on tatami mats. Don't go for decor, go for authentic Japanese food served by some lovely folks. One of our favourite restaurants in London.

The sushi here was one of the best Ive tried in the UK. Cant wait to go back again. The Mackerel (shime saba) was excellent!
