“As a sushi lover, I find Wasabi incredibly practical. The 'grab and go' concept is perfect because you can see everything on the shelves before you choose. What I love most is the transparency; having all the ingredients and calorie counts …”

“Wasabi on Old Compton Street isn’t somewhere I visit often — usually just when I need a quick bite — but I was pleasantly surprised this time around. I tried the Korean fried chicken and salmon sushi, and both were actually pretty decent. The food was fresh enough and did the job well for something quick and convenient. The only real downside is the seating — it can get quite busy, making it a bit of a struggle to find a spot to sit and eat comfortably. Overall, a solid option when you’re in the area and need something fast and satisfying.”
