Wasabi in Kensington and Chelsea

They have not bothered to update their opening hours - they close at 9pm on Sunday not 8pm

Got a box of sushi from the fridge and went to pay. The cashier was busy ruffling his hair with his bare hands. He was then going to touch my food or money? No thank you! Returned my food to the fridge and went somewhere else.

Food is good, enjoyed sweet chilli chicken and katsu curry with my daughter eat in although the lady at the till wasn’t friendly at all rather grumpy and noticed that she was gossiping with other staff and making faces about other customers after they left. It’s quiet unprofessional though. All over the food was enjoyable but next time we’ll pick a different branch.

Food taste is terrible, chicken is like 10 days old and with sweet sauce they tries to kills rotten taste.

Ero stato in questo sushi circa 15 anni fa, lo ricordavo con piacere. Proprio difronte i magazzini Harrods, torno a mangiarci oggi con la famiglia e ci siamo trovati bene: offerta varia, buona qualità, smercio costante, prezzi alla portata. Tavolini all'interno.

I came here on May 23/24, after travelling around the city with the HOHO bus and I got off at the bus the Kensington High Street & Kensington Road stop, as I walked back to the hostel I was looking around to find a good place to eat an early supper and I came across this place located at Kensington High Street & Kensington Arcade, which is about 3-4 blocks west from the bus stop and actually there is a tube station right next to this place called High Street Kensington station. This place has many prepared Japanese food dishes in small containers so I looked at all they had to offer and the one I chose to have was the sweet chili chicken bento and a Pepsi which tasted very good, a very small portion though yet still was very good.. The 2 items cost me around 11-12 pounds which was a little pricy for the size you get. I would come back to this place again if I am ever back in London 3.5 out of 5 for a nice place 4.5 out of 5 for a great variety of food choices 4.5 out of 5 for tasty food 4.25 out of 5 for an overall decent place

Nice place, clean, to get some fresh quick sushi... or something warm. And mochi of course. I stop there quite often.

Great place, affordable prices and pleasant atmosphere and service. The sushi was very fresh.

We stopped at their place to have lunch before entering the subway. The restaurant looks good, it is clean, the staff is OK. You can pay by card. We had a ramen and a soup. Both were tasty, prices OK. I would come back anytime.

Amazing food and super service by Simone

Japanese bento! Average Japanese food.

Yummy sushi and all other meals are great! Ate there for 3 consecutive days while I was there.

The Chicken Miso Green Curry was really nice. Good portion size. Clean. Staff were friendly and pleasant. My negative is that the food was warm and could be hotter. Left out but I would prefer it heated up more. Would recommend otherwise. Good selection of sushi, hot bento and more. Reasonably priced.

Really delicious 😋🤤 kitchen fasty and tasty try it

Very nice streetfood - fastfood. Finally not fish and chips but something different and healthy. Wide choice of vegetarian/ fish.

Awesome and authentic Japanese food. Chakravarthy took care of us very well . Prices are good .

My “must go to” place in London. Love it.

Food was terrible, the noodles were the dry parts stuck to the bottom of the pan. For hot food, it was cold and evidently not fresh. Would not recommend for £7.95. Waste of money as went straight into the garbage.

Super fresh, super delicious. Perfect snack for on the go.

Very friendly staff! Good fresh food and good price! I love it!

Staff are nice, Pumpkin katsu curry rice bento is delicious

Great sushi and a decent price. Brilliant location.

Found a small rock in my salmon onigiri?!

lovely place to have yummy n cheap dinner

Just a quick and delicious stop!

Both hot & cold dishes (noodles, sushi etc.), cutlery is obviously plastic, but it's super durable and you can even reuse it if necessary. The portion size is 5*. They charge you extra for eating in, but it's not worth it - which is why I would give it 4.5*, not 5*

Beautiful place to get lunch on go

Usually very good but in evening they have sushi that has been left out all day in only semi - refrigerated conditions. Alas, this resulted in me getting awful food poisoning.

I have just ordered noodle prawns soup. It has zero flavour, so blunt I can't eat it. There is barley any vegetables or prawns in these. The broth taste like nothing, even chilli doesn't add a bite or taste. I used to buy salmon soup before covid and it was always good with consistent quality....you knew exactly what you get...I have been back to work and every time I hope the flavour will be back too , but noooo....same watery taste...so disappointed and they stop offering additional chopped chilli , coriander and dry onions as a free toppings....sushi is good there , thought portions are much smaller and no sashimi. Will not be buying soups anymore...over the last year they were very poor and value for money....

Fans de cette chaine depuis des années, les sushis et autres plats de la chaine restent des incontournables de nos "pique-niques moquettes". Un léger désagrément si l'on peut dire est la disparition des sushis à l'unité (ainsi que du gingembre et du soja en sachet devant les caisses); cela se comprend cependant car les emballages étaient en plastique et trop nombreux.

Love it. Best place for cheap and cheerful sushi.

Great prices and friendly staff

Really good sushi to go, would like clearer labels as picked up egg omlette by mistake.

Great set up for some on the go Japanese food, hot food was nice

스시를 맛있게, 간편하게 즐길 수 있는 곳! 런던에 머무는 동안 아이들과 종종 테이크아웃해서 먹었어요. 재료도 신선하고 음식도 맛있습니다! 한국 삼각김밥도 있어요. 매장도 쾌적하고요~추천!

Nice tasty bento chicken curry. Came in here before hopping on the tube home for some nice hot food to warm up on a cold afternoon. The food was good and I really liked the mango aloe vera drink which was delicious. My only slight complaint is that the food was warm rather than hot. They are preboxed meals that sit on heat lamped shelves, so it may have been there a while already.

So good, I had it twice! The Korean Bento was quite tasty, very filling without being overly spicy. Plus, it was under £10. You honestly can’t beat the price and quality.

Cash Only ! Be aware of the payment terms here before you queueing… How about the customers walked away after being told at the counter that CASH ONLY !

Einfach mal lecker Essen. Eine sehr schöne Auslage mit leckeren Speisen und es schmeckt auch sehr lecker. Sehr gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis.

Great options for gluten free and not too expensive

High Street Kensington staff at lunch time were dismissive and inconsiderate. I don't expect you to love your job but at least be nice to customers, that doesn't cost anything and actually might make you feel good, try it!

Food was a bit dry and flavourless. Won't go back

Superb tofu curry Bento. The seasoning was strong enough, but not burn-your-mouth curry. The rice was perfect - much better than the sushi we had a couple of nights ago at Itsu. And the cost was very reasonable. Five stars.

I recently had katsu curry in another place and was disappointed but this visit in this branch made me forget about my bad experience. Katsu was well cooked and curry sauce was not to thickk it was perfect to mix with rice. I bought extra for takeaway. Love it!

Great option for a pick up for picknick in the park. Ofcourse, there is better sushi in the world. But this is a great, quick option at a good price.

Bought the Chicken Katsu Curry Bento for £6.75. Decided that the sushi offerings are too pricey and not really worth it. The katsu chicken were decent. The curry was authentic Jap-styled. Pity the veg was a little sparse. But overall decent value and quality

Good food, good book, head for the nearby park and enjoy.

It was my first time to Wasabi and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with my experience. I didn't know that there would be £1 or so added to my meal if I ate in and so did takeaway instead. It was an amazing place and I got the Vegan Katsu bento, Edamame and the Chocolate Dorayaki. The rice was fluffy and the curry tasted just like Maggi (in a good way). The only thing that could have been improved is the quality of the Quorn Katsu and it wasn't hot like the rest of the meal which confused me and wasn't as fresh as I'd have liked. The Edamame was too tough to bite into and the Dorayaki was a little too sweet for my liking. Overall, a great experience and would 💯 come back again! :)

The price went up,the size down.....for £6.70 u will receive a few pieces of meat and a bit of rice!!! 3-4 years ago u can get for £5.35 a good portion in that box...is not about the price,but at least offer the same size portion!!!! Anyway....rubbish and expensive shop for what is offer right now....one star is too much !!!! If u like to be robbed...Wasabi High Street Ke sington is the best place for that feeling!!!

Today at 13:40 I purchased 2 chicken katsu sets and sushi. The food as always was nice, I am just disappointed with the service. Me and my brother were served by dark haired lady. When I asked for 2x chicken katsu bowls she asked me to go and get it. I asked for ginger. She’s asked if I wanted chopsticks and I said yes. When I reached Hyde park to eat, I had one spoon, one fork and 2 knives to eat my katsu and sushi with with my brother. There was also no ginger, despite asking her again at the end of transaction; she replied “it’s already there”. Well, it wasn’t there. If that wasn’t enough she placed my sushi sideways in the bag, I immediately asked her to put it flat on top of the katsu. She said “it won’t fit”, well… it did in the end. So overall, a very negative experience. I understand people have their issues in their lives, but don’t bring it to work. Don’t insist on being right where in fact your are not. Being humble and attentive is vital in customer service.

Unique experience of Japanese food if you have never had it and want an affordable option

We got the Tokyo Salmon & the Nigiri Set and they were really good. Also very affordable.

I don't exactly come to Wasabi for the customer experience, but would still be nice to be given the time of day whilst being served. Unfortunately the till staff couldn't be bothered to even say hi and only spoke to me once to confirm the price of the food. He was too busy talking and laughing with his colleagues, but should know that even general politeness goes a long way. I hope the manager can speak to their staff about this. Unfortunately the food was redeeming, as it also didn't taste very fresh and instead tasted like it was sat around all day.

One of my favourite place with sushi in London ❤️

Got the teriyaki chicken with rice large bowl. There was only 1 teaspoon worth of dry chicken and the rest was just sauce & veg. Quite unpleasant and disappointed for the price! The rice was dry too and sauce too salty.

Sushi was basically frozen and barely edible.

Very nice lights perfect food for a shop restaurant.

Shocking service got in there at 6:55 asked for hot noodles and was told the kitchen has been shut an hour before they close. What a joke will not be coming back

Chicken teriyaki had only two cubes of chicken and loads of sauce with plenty of onions. A rip off.

I visited Wasabi High Street Kensington in the last 2 days in lunch time. The food was fresh and tasty, it was really warm, not lukewarm. To my taste buds the balance between rice, chicken and vegetable could be maybe more vegetables and less rice. One thing that I would suggest to take on board: the staff who gives the plastic cutlary should NOT hold the cutlery on that end that we put into our mouth. Today before eating, I told a prayer to God not to get any infection or poisoning from the cutlary because I saw the boy touching the till, the card machine (PDQ) than my cutlary on the wrong end and his forehead. Apart from that my Chicken Katsu Curry Bento was nice.

Wasabi is always good, shame I don't see it very often outside London. Seems like a few of the restaurants have stopped the half-price deal before closing... I'm not sure if this is a COVID thing or if its just the way they're going forward, but I think it should be brought back. Food is always good.

Had a quick bite here place was fine, Food okay ✅

We had a lovely quick brunch here. The place is located just next to Kensington High Street station. The portions were very nice and tasted lovely, too. All in all, an enjoyable brunch.

Lots of options - well stocked. Simple service. Option to eat in or take out. £20 for 2 decent size packs of sushi is good value for money. Barely have anything like this in the north so great to be able to pop in and pick up sushi for lunch or dinner.

Always great food and service with affordable prices. Would recommend if you enjoy Japanese fast food and sushi. Would recommend

Disgusting food! I ordered via Just Eat. My order took approx 1 hour 15mins to arrive!! The are in my local area so god only knows why they took so long. The vegan noodles were FREEZING COLD and the edamame container wasn't secured so it spilt out in the bag while in transit. I couldn't eat them. The noodles were utterly disgusting, a rip off for what I paid. For freezing cold stogy noodles with bit a quorn and horrid sauce. I felt sick looking at it. Don't waste your time, go to Itsu instead, or somewhere else. I complained to JustEat but got no where.

I ate s salad which was nice. it was a bit hot but all in all the service was very good, keep up the good work!

Terrible tiny sushi that are outrages , hall size of what was last year Portion is half size ! Price is up ! I will stop buying it

I cannot believe how downhill Wasabi has gone. First of all, when I placed my order with Wasabi on Just Eat, Wasabi cancelled my order. When I called them to ask why they did this, the lady who answered said that she cancelled my order because they ran out of one of the items. Why couldn't they have just called/messaged me so that I could order something else instead of cancelling the entire order? Then, when I received my order, I found that the food was a lot less. I got the Chicken Katsu Curry dish; the chicken was around half its usual size and the rice and sauce looked like a shell of its former self. It's sad to see that a business that was once great is turning into a money grabbing operation with incompetent staff running it. Update: (2 months later) I have still not received a response from Wasabi despite me reaching out to them as per their request. Nice to know how much they don't care about their customers... Second Update: Wasabi did not reply to me (even though they stated they did in their comment underneath this post), I just double checked my inbox and there is no email from them at all. They really don't care about their customers they only care about making money

Great Food. Friendly staff. Relaxed and clean environment.

Starts working at 11. Worst way to provide conveniency

Other stores got 50% off before 30 minutes closed but not this one. Such a waste of fresh food. Don’t know why or the staff lied to me.

We love Wasabi Tom Yum noodles, but we wanted to leave this compliment in particular to Ms. Kohutka who has served us a few times and is the most polite, friendly, helpful staff you have. She treats people great and prepares meals carefully. Thank you Kohutka.

Very disappointing! Wasabi has completely went down the drain in terms of quality if you compare it to two years ago. Every time I have ordered lately I have been consistently disappointed and yet I keep going back hoping it was a one off. My friends and I ordered food from them yesterday and it was delivered cold, bland, and missing chopsticks or any sort of cutlery. I was also charged a service charge in addition to the delivery charge; I would not have minded that had I actually gotten the service I expected. This all coming from a previously very loyal costumer.

I would have thought during these difficult times that businesses would be looking to enhance the experience of their customers rather than disappoint them, I couldn't have been more wrong with Wasabi. As someone who has visited this business before, I was stunned by the lack of quality that was displayed when I made my most recent order. There was a service and delivery charge with an only half hour wait time, yet the food was cold, lacking flavour and quantity. Usually when you're hungry, food tastes better, this was not the case.

The staff is a must on this place.

A lovely little Wasabi very near to High Street Kensington station. I think it must be a "metro" or compact version of Wasabi as it didnt seem to have all the choices I am used to seeing. Still very nice though and you can sit and eat the food in there. Not sure if its a management thing or not..but my Chicken Katsu curry..though very yummy..seemed to have shrunk since last time I was there..thats why they have 4 stars and not 5...plus they didnt have any of those little chocolate "Pocky" sticks...hehe.. Will still go again though...

Good for a take away standard. Nice staff. Location is good. Their hot options aren’t high quality. For example the salmon is hard. I think they can and should grilled sashimi in their hot dishes.

Great for vegan options and reasonably priced

Wasabi is always such a good experience. They were out of my favourite which is the Vegan Pumpkin Katsu Curry and the rest of their vegan/veggie selection was really lacking so that’s the only reason they don’t get a higher rating. Otherwise my friend and I ordered a couple larger boxes and they were perfect. Would go again whenever I had the chance I hope they open one near me soon.

Es un take away, pero, sinceramente de mucha calidad, repetimos dos noches. Personal muy agradable, muy bien iluminado. muy bien presentado y la calidad de la comida excepcional. Tortalmente recomendable al la do de la parada del metro

Nice sushi and salads for a quick and healthy lunch. We loved it. Clean environment. Lots of choices hot and cold dishes. Just try.

This is a place that I recently started visiting. The food is tasty and reasonably priced. There is friendly service and always a seat

Lovely place....always able to find freshly cooked dishes

Esta bien si tienes ganas de comer sushi rápido...

They helped me with getting a salmon teriyaki rice even if was not available on the first place....so happy and really enjoyed my meal

Cadena de sushi para comer al paso, buena relación calidad precio. La comida caliente muy buena

Since we love sashimi, we were really glad to find a Wasabi nearby! Fresh, great variety and combinations and add-ons! Didn't really like so much seaweed underneath the sashimi and sushi, but would still come here to eat!

I love sushi here so much. It’s a nice place to sit.its convenient by the station. Comfortable seats at a table.

The sushi is great, pots are hit or miss, and there needs to be more tuna options.

I liked the food and service better than the one in victoria.

I often go to Wasabl with my family and enjoy the ‘ok’ the food, but please help me understand how they think it’s acceptable to charge 20% extra to what is effectively (and often dirty) takeaway restaurant where you have to clean you own empty cartons and there is no toilet ( they direct you to nearby M&S. It feels like Wasabi is either trying to take advantage of the customer or trying to encourage customer not to eat in.

My go to place for a quick bite when in the mood for japanese

relatively authentic and cheap japanese food.. for a quick fix..

No space to sit !!! No space no spending.

Fand die Bentos sehr lecker dort. Gerne dort gegessen 👍

Sweet chilli chicken noodles were on point

Good place to get reasonable priced sushi.

チキンカツカレー弁当が日本とどの程度違うか試してみました。ご飯は日本の弁当のそれと同じ。カレーのまろやかさは同じですがスパイスの風味が違って美味しいです。中辛ほどの辛さ。チキンカツは衣もお肉も硬めに揚がっています。衣の風味がまた違います。カレールウの比率よりご飯とお肉が多めでボリュームがあります。 なぜかスプーンを渡されなかったのですが、ご飯をスプーンですくうと幼児の食べ方という意味になるのでしょうか。
