Wasabi in Kingston upon Thames

The staff was absolutely lovely which is the reason for the second star. The food on the other hand had very little going for it besides being edible. We ordered the chicken katsu, chicken ramen, beef barbecue buns, edamame, and tama squid. Everything was pretty much flavorless and the katsu curry tasted fresh out of a packet. Despite the curry, the katsu chicken was alright. The spicy sauce on the barbecue buns masked the flavorlessness of everything on it but failed to have its own flavor besides spice. The ramen broth tasted as if the flavor had vacated the building, months ago. The edamame was salted nicely, but had a strange white thing on it which left both of us afraid to continue eating. Finally, the tama squid was perhaps the most appetizing thing, which was because it was very deep fried. Will likely not dine here again sadly. Thank you again to the kind staff and sorry to have to leave such a frank and disparaging review.

One of my very favourite restaurants. I've been coming back since I discovered this little gem. Everyone who i brought over also loved it!

I had an extremely unpleasant experience concerning the hygiene standards of the establishment and the quality of the food. Initially, I ordered the spicy seafood ramen, only to discover a small insect floating in it, which was quite revolting. Additionally, when we requested tap water, we were served a jar that contained remnants of cucumber. After asking for a replacement, the second jar revealed what appeared to be white filaments (the nature of which I could not identify), and the cups had a distinctly fishy and unclean odor. Following this experience, my husband unfortunately fell ill and suffered from diarrhea. I urge you to take these issues seriously, as they directly impact people health. Not recommend

Great, helpful staff, especially Monika was very pleasant and helpful. Food was delicious and atmosphere was great. Overall great visit.

Great food and service. Always happy to eat here.
