I had a £10 gift voucher to spend at Wasabi, and I must say, for one person, it’s pretty much impossible to spend that much, such is the good value. I had a chicken katsu curry bento box. It was way more than I could eat, but really tasty. It’s the kind of curry sauce that has chunks of veg. You get a load of sauce, 2 breaded pieces of chicken, loads of rice, and some carrots and edamame. For a filling, relatively balanced meal, I found it to be excellent value at £5.50. My only criticism is the layout of the shop makes it a bit hard to browse all the sushi and other cold items, as the queue gets in the way. Luckily when I was there(a weekday at noonish) it wasn’t too busy.

Should be a 4.5. The food is incredibly well priced and the service is exceptional for being located in a busy train station. I wouldn’t give it a full 5 because the sushi, while much fresher than what you’d get at a supermarket, is still pre-prepared and lacking that just-barely-made quality. But the price and ease of grabbing something here easily makes up for that.

Not so much to dream about at Wasabi. And this is not the first location I have tried. I like the idea of fast sushi/Asian dishes. So far I have only tried the sushis. What’s wrong with the rice? Soo much rice, not enough salmon. Blend salmon too and actually only salmon to talk about cause they don’t do other types of fish. My guess it is for water conservation of fishes, good, but please do the salmon differently. I usually get sashimis and sushis but to me they are very tasteless. For this price, no wonder, salmon is probably farmed somewhere, but I have tried better honestly. I went three times to wasabi and I guess I will never go back again for sushi. By the way they charge you more if you stay. Like 15% or something. No good. Just ask to leave, and sit down even if you said it was to go. Next time, I will give wasabi a last chance and will try the bowls though they look full of white rice, I hope they have options for healthier rice types… Good side: usually clean spaces, fast, and wifi available.

Amazing. Cheap compared what I get in supermarkets and that isn’t half as good. Flipping love these places. A shame I couldn’t get the ice cream there. I’d eat here everyday if I lived near one.

I was pleasently surprised by this little place. As a rule i expect train or bus stop food to be lack lustre. This has changed that view entierly. Its on the second floor next to the mexican place and has about 4 tables to sit at with further seating dotted around which you can use downstairs. They have noodles, gyoza, terriyaki and katsu curry in a fridge that you take out and take to them for them to heat up for you witha wide range of other snacks such as onigiri and various single wrapped sushi as well as platters. The taste as well is pretty authentic, not the best but pretty darn good. The katsu curry was lovely and a mesh of japanese and our styles with onions and peas in it which isnt usual and lovely tasty chicken which is heated up and given to you seperately so its not all squidgy and horrible which is another nice touch. We also partook of the onigiri and the sushi. The onigiri is tasty when you get to it but the chicken teriyaki is a mite disapointing with not much flavour. Also the nori is very thin and paper like with the most annoying opening strategy in the world which caused me to rip apart my nori lol. the sushi is very nice, fresh and tasty with the choice of meat, chicken and fish platters. very surprising little place in a train station with friendly staff which is well worth a look on your travels!

Wasabi is located in the new Kings Cross Station concourse, on the 2nd floor next to several other eateries. There’s only 3 or 4 tables in front of Wasabi, but there’s other tables you can use on that 2nd level. It’s a great place to get sushi and noodles on the go. We got a Harmony set of sushi for £6.99 and a huge bowl of Chicken Katsu Yakisoba for £4.95. The sushi comes with one packet of soy sauce and wasabi. If you want more, you have to pay extra.

I really dig the concept of these takeways joints with unique and tasty offerings. Was it the best Asian style food I;de ever tasted? No. Was it better than the typical sandwich or burger place you’d eat at? Yes. I got the won-ton soup. You pick your soup from the fridge that is full of noodles, won-tons, veggies, etc. You pay for your order and they fill it up with your choice of soup base. Let it sit a couple of minutes and then dig in. Awesomely, slurpily, good.

Fast food at its simple best — tasty — affordable — dependable — quick The new concourse at Kings Cross has loads to choose from, but Wasabi with its spot on approach to on-the-go food and this particular branch’s friendly staff is the perfect return to London pick-me-up.
