Wasabi

Worst sushi I ever have. It should be renamed from Wasabi to «we’re sorry.» Because that’s how I felt. You get a sliver of fish (most likely cheap and farmed) and 2x the rice. A few of the things weren’t even edible. Like the tuna rice cakes. It’s like a fish had diarrhea in a big triangle slab of rice. Just Terrible. Unless you’re into that kind of thing.

Wasabi on Kensington high street is very conveniently located next to the station.
It offers an eat in area, where you can sit and watch the high street whisk past — although you’ll have to pay for this privilege.
I’ve been to a number of Wasabi’s and this one is very similar to the next, the décor is the same in each, white and a tad clinical.
The menu at each Wasabi is about the same… Prices seem standard across the board…
As one of the lesser evils of fast food on the high street. It’s not particularly good quality sushi and it’s not partially cheap, but it is one of the healthier options if you’re in a rush.
Sushi is really an art, and whilst the quality of fish is good here, they tend to bulk this up with rice. Most pieces hold together, but are quite haphazard.
I tend to opt for a meal option and then add some from their self-​selection.
I also like the little seaweed triangles and the noodles are just on the side of acceptable if you fancy something hot.
I can’t comment on service, you don’t really need or have the chance to interact with staff. Although the good thing about this is that the queues are usually short!

If this place wasn’t by my hotel room in London, it probably wouldn’t have been on my radar as a pit stop to get food at. Surprisingly, I ended up back here 2 times during my trip there. This place is basically a gold mine for people rushing to and from during the bustling busy days of a busy London lifestyle. Mainly servicing Japanese fast food to go in the forms of rolls, sushi, onigiri, bottled teas, and FRESHLY MADE warm foods such as Japanese noodles, spicy Katsu Chicken, varieties of Curries, etc. all in pre-​heated bowls for you to either eat there or take to go.
While on the quest to find some quick decent food, this place was packed with people lining up either eating at the restaurant or grabbing food to go. Imagine how a modern Japanese restaurant looks like with the tables lined up against clear long window panels surrounding the restaurant with high chairs for people with busy schedules to eat and go.
The food is not bad… if you have no other options. If you are in a rush and cannot afford the time to sit at a nice restaurant for tea or an actual meal where you’re served on nice plates and servers wait on you… this is the next best thing.

This would work so good in Amsterdam. A fastfood sushi place, with great lunch options to go!
From complete plates and dishes, to separate sushi’s to pick you favorite. Great concept!

Ein nettes Selbstbedienungsrestaurant, in dem man die Sushi mitnehmen kann, aber auch vor Ort konsumieren kann, was insofern besonders nett ist, weil der Tresen an den Fenstern ist und man so das geschäftige Treiben draußen beobachten kann. Die Speisen selbst sind von sehr guter Qualität.

This is a new Wasabi, right next to the tube entrance. A great selection of hot meals (salmon teriyaki don, chicken katsu curry, etc) in square boxes, which are great value for lunch at £4.95 each. I think the food must be delivered from another Wasabi, as the premises is small and the kitchen is tiny. For this reason, avoid the noodle soups. Broth is poured into your pot and it’s microwaved in the micro-​kitchen, where you end up waiting for ages to get your food! And while you wait, you’re in everyone else’s way as there is nowhere to stand. Apart from this, this is a standard wasabi — fine.

A new Wasabi in the Arcade of Kensington High Street station.
Decent selection, but the cashier was confused about the hot food VAT rule. In the end, I left with my sushi at the marked price, but was a bit annoyed by the whole situation.
