Wasabi Sushi & Bento in Camden

Whenever I’m in London I eat the Chicken Katsu Curry from wasabi. The one from this particular branch was as good as always. The portions might not be as big as at the one in Victoria, where it’s not prepackaged, but the taste is the same. The curry tastes like in Japan and is worth every penny if you ask me:)

I'm quite disappointed with my recent experience at this particular Wasabi location. I usually love Wasabi and frequently visit their other branches, but this one left me underwhelmed. The portion sizes were noticeably smaller compared to what I'm used to, and to make matters worse, the prices were about 1.5 times higher! It just didn't feel like good value for money. While I’ve always enjoyed Wasabi at other spots, this visit was a letdown. Definitely not what I expected given the price increase.

Every time I go there, it's clearly marked as open, but it's always closed. I suggest demolishing the building and selling it to local residents.

Always practical and delicious 😋😋

Food was nice but want to know why it has dropped from 50% off in the last 30 minutes of service to 30% Didn’t mind paying but they had a hell off a lot of food left like at least 40 boxes

50%off 30minutes before closing no longer available!!! Now it's 30% off instead. Shame.

The people working there are friendly & the sushi is fresh, vegan good but I also had salmon

Staff not friendly. Not good atmosphere. Used to be lovely. Also no more 50% 30 minutes before closure. Was told its 30% but wasn't convinced as online still say 50^

Bought some gluten free sushi not easy to find Went back on Saturday, nothing left, including sushi with gluten! If Saturday is a busy day, maybe planning to have more sushi would be a good idea or aren't we supposed to eat on Saturday!!!! An element of disorganisation!!!!

I’ve always been a fan of Wasabi at Kings Cross, enjoyed the food, and the staff are always very friendly. However, I’m sad to report that after ordering the Curry Ramen with chicken gyoza on Sunday (23/06/2024, 7:30-45pm), my partner and I both fell very ill early the next morning (3am) with food poisoning. We were severely ill for 2 days (including my birthday yesterday) and are still recovering today. I will be reporting the incident, but I wanted to make a review in the hopes someone may read this before purchasing the same dish and save them going through what we’ve gone through. I’d urge Wasabi to look into what caused this contamination - I’ll be happy to share any further information if needed

this japanese food tastes bad cause its made by british people

I got the Vegan Yasai Roll Set at London King’s Cross station, and it is exceptional. Each bite bursts with unique and mild flavors fits perfectly for my taste. Highly recommended for a delightful, flavorful experience.

Amazing place ,great food and really friendly staff 🥰🥰🥰

I can't understand why there is so much difference between wasabi stores. This one is awful. The gyozas were hard like a rock and they gave me one napkin for two people. I asked for more so they gave me another one... Not friendly staff.

Wow how disappointed I am . I was craving wasabi for so long . So because I was in the area I thought that I will get some teriyaki chicken . I just paid almost £9 for i piece of chicken with rice . That was the last time I bought something in wasabi . One piece for £8,45

I have always loved sushi so I tried from those stores for the first time at the London King’s Cross station (upstairs) The lady who attended to me was kind and helped me with the choice of sushi because I don’t really like it raw. The drink I had was nice but I don’t like bits in my drink…

No sushi at 1700. Not great for a sushi place.

My partner and I both got food poisoned by the bentobox sweet chili. We ate the same thing 21/04/24 around 12h30 and It made us very sick 2 hours after it. The reservations for other things we made are not refundable. These are our first hours in London and we are too weak to go elsewhere because of this poisoning. If I read the other reviews I notice this is not the first time for this store to sell (contaminated?) Food. I strongly advise the owner or spokesman of this place to contact me asap via this message within 24 hours of reading it. At 23/04/24 my partner is still in intensive care.

Purchased quickly, tastes good, and the price is reasonable.

I got food poisoning from the sushi. Not good. I lived in Japan for a year and never had any issues with sushi or any other sea food there. I ate the food on the train within 30mins-1hr of purchasing the food so no its not because I stored the food inappropriately. I even made sure to get one of the boxes at the back which would be coldest as I don't trust the UKs hygiene standards when it comes to rae fish. I was going on a weekend trip with a friend who ate all the same food as me except for this sushi. Process of elimination means this was the root cause.

I’ve bought a Salmon Nigiri Set this evening and the salmon is smelly (ammonia-like). I couldn’t eat it. I would not recommned this place.

As an Asian, I shouldn’t have any expectations for rice from non-Asian regions, but as an attempt to try something familiar, the onigiri was overall good. But even though it was labeled salmon, the inside tasted like tuna.

I can always rely on wasabi to get a decent hot meal at a decent price. This one in King’s Cross is small but perfectly formed. They have plenty of seats to sit and eat but they can also give you paper bags which are perfect to take your food to go. I’d recommend the katsu.

I went to the store on Saturday. I ordered chicken katsu carry. Everything is amazing... Specially customer service from Sheikh was amazing. After my order he offered me Aloe original... His behaviour is amazing with his smiley face. Satisfied with the service

Not expensive and very nice sushi!

Food was not fresh, tasteless and gave me a stomach ache.

Lots of vegan options. Fresh and delicious food.

My usual go to place before leaving London. I love their sushi as it always feels fresh. Not sure about the medium rare CHICKEN katsu I received tonight however.

Professional service and tasty sushi. Just perfect to take to the train when you don't have too much time before departure. Definitely next time will dine in too.

Had the Teriaki salmon rice potto & it was lush! No idea the calories in this little sexy snack pot but tummy feels full & not bloated. First time I munched on a chilli & my head didn’t blow off. So don’t bin the chillies 🌶️ peeps, get them eaten. (Nerd info-4 Vitamin A is also an immune-boosting antioxidant and well-known for helping to protect and maintain eye health. Vitamin C offers the same antioxidant and immune-boosting benefits while also helping the absorb iron and promote glowing skin.) Wasabi sushi & bento, I will be back again soon 😋✌️

First time trying sushi and I loved it! Plenty of options for everyone, definitely worth the prices.

This becomes my ritual to buy packed food every time I go on trains from King’s Cross. It’s hot food, it’s decent, it’s cheap for the quality and the taste. The best is their chicken katsu curry, but do try their other hot foods as well! Note to owner: PLEASE OPEN STORES IN EDINBURGH😭😭😭🙏🏻 thanks!!

I ordered food and purchased a drink however the person at the register neglected to put my drink in my bag in my bag and when I realised it was to late and I still was charged for the drink

Excellent. The layout of the shop could be better; the people browsing the food get in the way of the people who are queueing, but I cannot fault the food. Fresh sushi, katsu, delicious hot currys with rice, a selection of drinks and desserts including mochi and dorayaki. Wonderful!

sushii provided excellent service- thank you

This shop is packaged item only but it is ok.

This was AMAZING! It was super convenient, with lots of options. I was in and out in less than five minutes. The food was absolutely delicious and it was good value for money. I will definitely be coming here anytime I travel through kings cross.

Amazing sushi with various vegan and vegetarian options. The prices are pretty okay for London standards.

Good food, good price and it is a ready meal. A very nice, easy and quick japanese meal option. Love it.

The food was pretty mediocre, but fine for the price.

Not even deserve a one star. Went there last night 20/04 and got a set, hadn’t got anything else but this. Two hours later ended up sick at the toilet, still feel disgusting🤮. Avoid this place🤢

I stop by every week on way home from football this is my must stop for my train home. The staff are lovely. The food is great last week it was bit cold but they were just closing so it's fine. Il still go back every week.

Didn't want to eat in at the station. Service was wonderful. Assistant checked if the sushi platter had alcohol in them. Appreciate it.

They charged extra money but they didn’t refund They said they can’t do that. Unbelievable.

意外といけるカレー弁当とお寿司があります カレー弁当は日本円にすると1200円くらいと高額ですが… TOFUカレーは豆腐じゃなくて厚揚げ？油揚げ？が入ってます チキンの方が旨みがあっておいしかった サーモン&アボカド巻き寿司は周りに胡麻がまぶしてあって、なかなか美味しいと思いました ちょっと高いけど、お米が恋しくなったらおすすめ。テイクアウトのほかイートインスペースもあります アメックスのカードは使えなかったです

Food is not bad but some shelves empty not enough choice

Es un restaurante de comida para llevar pero hay mesas por la planta en la que te puedes sentar a comer. De precio no está nada mal. Nos costó veintisiete libras o así y comimos dos personas bastante bien. Pedimos una bandeja de makis, nigiris y uramakis, una bandeja de 5 gyozas, pollo con arroz y curry para compartir, un dorayaki, y dos onigiris. Lo único malo es que el alga de los onigiris viene separada y hay que abrirlo de una forma concreta para poder ponerla al arroz después.

Very small portion and poor service. Only packaging without food inside. The guy who served me was wearing a dirty yellow vest.

Not open at 21.00 although Google says it is. Pathetic.

Muy buen sitio, la comida esta buena, es diferente que el de España pero estaba muy bueno, y esta bien de precio, no había mucho sitio para sentarse.

Love in it ...Well done ,Guys so yummi and made it with hearts

This was actually surprisingly good. Hot, fresh, quick service and tasted great. Pretty decent value too - main was £8

I was in Kings Cross to visit platform 9&3/4 and had a quick lunch here as i was craving for Asian food. Food was good but the best part was the staff who were really friendly and helpful. Nepali dai here was too kind :)

Came to washabi cus it was raining. I believe regardless which branch of the chain the design layout, menu and food are all the same. I can during rush hour and being so central that this venue gets really busy. The only thing that there were no cold drinks. There was semi cold but not a decent cold drink . Love the food..yummm

The soup is quite nice. Sushi is not bad as well.

Cheap easy and testy Asian food. Good selection and very courteous staff. The best value for money place in the train station, food remains of good quality throughout your journey and it has the best view to see the timetable of trains.

Food is good quality but it’s shocking to actually see how they’re saving costs and passing these onto customers. Literally had 2 pieces of chicken in my dish having grabbed a quick box off the shelf at KX station before jumping on a train. £7.30 for bit of rice and onions effectively, unreal! Disappointing

Good food for a good price in London !

한식 찾으시는 분들 방문하시면 좋을 것 같아요! 밥이랑 찜닭, 밥이랑 돈까스 카레 이런 구성의 도시락을 판매해용 맛도 좋아요!

amazing selection but don’t go after 5pm as there will be limited selection (no sushi)

Ordered a vegan tofu curry and found 3 chunk of beef inside !

with an hour and a half left until closing time they have no sushi to sell and they have covered the fridges

Ate from here a few weeks ago and it was delicious, went back on Wednesday and was very disappointed. All of the hot food boxes were missing salad which is essentially a third of the meal and what makes it taste fresh, I asked if they had any salad and they said they had run out. I asked if I could have a discount and they said no. Reluctantly paid full price and not even the breaded chicken of the katsu curry tasted fresh, it was quite dry and like it had been sat there for a while. Shame as I enjoyed it the first time.

Nice hit and cold vegan options 👌🏻

Clean. Decent choice. Good service

Got a chicken katsu salad and spicy salmon roll. Just an okay quick lunch while waiting for our train.

Tofu bento box at Kings x was less than half the size I get at the Liverpool Street station branch. Could hardly believe it... Don't know if it was a one off... New staff or thet have really reduced the portion sizes. I'm not a big eater and even I thought the portions were tiny.

The staff were as rude and uncaring as you can get ..no hello, thank you or goodbye. Didn't have a clue about allergies in food and when I asked for bad they pointed to a sign saying they have no bags..no sorry or politely saying we don't have bags. Most of the food was sold out and no vegan options left either . It's a shame as the food is generally better than most at wasabi.

Shouldn’t be near a station(not train food)

Possibly the most passive, disinterested service I could imagine. It makes you not want to pay. It also makes me wonder how badly the staff are treated or paid to be so depressed … Food is OK. Just ok. At least closest to fast sushi that isn’t utter disgrace ( I.e. supermarket ).

Reasonably priced, clean and organized location. It's all you want from a chain. No complaints.

Loved it, as always. The ultimate choice for Japanese food.

If I could got it 0 stars I would. Horrendous food snd the store and staff are so disorganised it’s painful.

Cheap, quick and tasty Asian food. We were looking for a hot meal and ended up here before boarding our train. I was in disbelief that I'm actually eating vegan, it was very delectable. We normally look for vegetarian options but my husband brought Chi'king Katsu with Yakisoba Noodles & Chi'king Katsu curry with rice and we finished it within minutes. The only thing which management should take notice of that noodles were not hot but warm. They have limited seating area but with a nice view of busy train station (hustle and bustle).

I've not eaten at Wasabi for 3 years after buying a tofu curry that was labelled tofu and was infact chicken. I thought i'd give it another as I was in need of a hot meal for lunch. The shelves were virtually empty but luckily there was a tofu option. So shelf said tofu, picked up and paid and guess what? It was chicken! As a vegetarian of over 25 years, I realised before I had put it in my mouth. The server was very apologetic and said someone must of put it back in the wrong place. He said everything is marked as vegan. But as the shelves were empty, I was unaware of this. For those new to Wasabi or like me not a frequent visitor, I think you should really have clearer signage. I won't be back.

The staff here are very friendly! I definitely would recommend this place for a quick, cheap, and tasty take out or dine in option. They have a wide range of veggie and vegan options which I love!

We got 2 tom yum tofo noodles , all I can say that they should have called it tom yukk instead. We boarded train immediatly and were looking forward to our hot delcious noodles but got disgusting luke warm muck.

Sometimes things go less well. Mistakes in orders, poor preparation, etc. Even in places that we normally choose to eat because they are great quality - pricewise. But if something like that occasionally happens and the people in charge try to make it up to you with some gesture of any kind, you surely will come back for another shot, and another, and another, and another... Thanks so much for your offer Wasabi Camden Hst!!! Sushi was exactly what expected: what it used to be 🍣🍥💜 And it continues ever since! #wasabilovers

Gross! I bought a vegan katsu box today, unfortunately without realising there was hair in the food! Totally disgusting, had to throw it away, perhaps the staff should be wearing hair nets and other equipment while working with food.

great food at very very reasonable prices. (and vegan options!) would definitely come again

Japanese fast food , Healthy and tasty :)

love it, my favourite place ever

Staff aren’t very helpful but the food is good.

Ordered £40 of sushi on UberEats at 7 pm. The food was supposed to arrive 7.30. The delivery kept being delayed until an hour and a half later, it finally just disappeared. It seems Wasabi had closed at 7 pm, but did not care to inform us or UberEats that it had closed then. So far we've lost £40.

Happy is opened again! Our food was delicious. The noodles perfect and the sweet chilli chicken and thai green amazing! Staff smiling and friendly. Happy to have you rolling again :)

Kings Cross branch is closed down

Good Asian take away food! Totally recommend! Good bento to bring onboard train to Paris!

Good value for money.good food.

Nice packaging but food quality for me less then any street shop ! Expecting bit better then this.Anyway will try again

Better avoid the hot dishes, they are "canteen quality" at best. Sushi are ok for this kind of shop.

Very busy and not enough seating places

배낭여행 다닐땐 거지였어서 런던 체류할 동안엔 여기 체인점들 가서 사먹었다 싸고 먹을만하다 런던 물가 넘나 살인적

Good Sushi, unfortunately if you are usineg a lot of sauce and wasabi, you will have to pay a little extra.

타임세일을 놓치지 마세요! 난 반값에 먹었음!! 예전엔 맛있었던 것 같던데 다시 먹어보니 왕맛없다. 편의점 삼각김밥이 더 맛있음

Great little place for Katsu curry for train back to Newcastle. 👍

Go there at 9:30 pm - you'll get a 50% discount on everything in stock.

Yesterday in the evening I bought 2 boxes of sushi and sashimi and ate it 20 min after. Got badly food poisoned! Still sick in bed..

Walked in at 7:33 am, door was wide open. Gentleman behind the till shouts "AY -WE'RE NOT OPEN MATE" as if I was in there trying to steal edamame beans. Met with nothing but aggression. I only wanted a snack for my train. I can't even declare it as horrendous customer service as I was denied the chance to become a customer. This definitely wouldn't happen in Japan. Not happy.

Efficient. Well stocked. Variety of sushi. Good prices

Not too much variety available when we were there, but it was good.
