Customer Review Summary
Reviewers who rate the branch highly point to the ramen noodles, called delicious, and a spread of soups, sushi and dumplings that suits a quick takeaway, though one notes there is no seating. Another praises fast service, fresh food and affordable prices. The criticism is more detailed than the praise. Chicken katsu curry draws the most complaints, with tough chicken, cold rice and lukewarm sauce in one review, and teriyaki sauce poured on one piece but almost missing from the other in another. A green Thai curry was said to lack the expected spice, and one diner feels lunch boxes hold less meat and more rice as prices climb. One reviewer reports fish that was not fresh and a rude manager. A Too Good To Go bag held a vegan sushi box with no fish or meat inside, and one customer who asked for a pulled pork ramen to be heated was handed back a Curry Wasabi instead.

“Best food I’ve had in London and the only one that didn’t give me diarrhea”
- David Harlow
“Chicken katsu curry, chicken was so tough it must have been under a heat lamp for days, rice was cold, sauce was lukewarm. You're paying £8-9 for a disgusting reheat of one of their supermarket ready meals.”
- Sydney Jones
“As if the absence of social interaction doesn’t already feel off, I bought a Pulled Pork Ramen from this place, asked for it to be heated up. They gave it back to me in a bag. They had given me back the Curry Wasabi, rather than the one I had bought. Useless place, don’t waste your time.”
- Sufien Rida
“The manager was so rude for no reason, and the fish wasn’t fresh, plus we got the hot meal also the chicken was so chewy it was lik is from yesterday, just because is Located in a busy area doesn’t mean you can lose your quality. Shame on the Managers.”
- Paula TG
