Good for a quick bite. The yakisobba portion was very generous. located within a train station.

This is the place I go to when I want sushi on a low budget.

I always go for take away as it's cheaper than eat in. I have never bought soy sauce and wasabi there for I either would eat at home where I have a lot of unused soy sauce and wasabi from other places, or I would just eat them as is.

The sushi quality is just average but having eaten other sushi around London I would say this is already above average in london, especially for its price.

The aloe vera drinks are pretty good too! I've never tried the hot food and probably would never because they really don't look appetizing to me at all.

We were on our over to the attractions near the eye and this caught my attention. It was a cute place in the middle. The atmosphere and the aroma smelled great I decided to give it a try. So I got the chicken yakisoba. It was a little to dry like it has been sitting out for a awhile which is strange because it seems like they have just put a new pan out. Barely had any chicken in it and I couldn't even eat it. I have nothing against this place, I mean what do you expect for what could be considered fast food. Just wish it could've been better.

Wasabi is one of my favourite takeout places for their hot good. It's always best at lunchtime when the food is freshly cooked, however you can get some discounted left over pots later in the evening of you don't mind reheated meals.

While I thought the Waterloo one would be crowded with commuters, it was quite the opposite so I managed to get my lunch without waiting at all. Perfect for when you are in a hurry to get back to work.

My favourite dish is the chicken katsu curry, because it's soft and melts in your mouth. I definitely think that it's a lunchtime treat compared to the other high street choices so if you have one near you it's definitely worth a visit.

Wasabi saved my Tuesday. Seriously. I was having the worst day. After wandering angrily for a bit and realising it was too cold to just walk around, I decided to get some lunch at Wasabi.

I've eaten at this Wasabi and others before and (as usual) got Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup (and 2 salmon nigiri!). The wait was pretty rediculous, I think the staff may have forgotten my noodle soup, because they were so busy serving the lunch time rush, it stayed in the microwave for ages. When it was ready, I took it upstairs and ate it on a (very tall!) green chair, looking out of a window at the station. It was very hot and tasty, but the chicken was slightly dry. The upstairs eating area was warm, not too crowded and I managed to make the soup and sushi last me an hour, before heading out much happier than I was.

3 stars not 4 for a long wait and charging for soy-sauce (SO stupid).

This is probably the most disorganised and poorly managed wasabi I have been to. Ever!

I enjoy a bit of guilty pleasure which is wasabi and although I spend minutes looking at one section to decide what to eat, here I am looking at one section to make which label is for what. 

It is a small space so human traffic can be another story. It's London so nobody cares who was first, as long as the attendant makes eye contact with them, they are in front of you. 

The meals look as if they were there the day before and only desperation, as on today's case, would get me buying from this particular Wasabi.

Cheap sushi and warm food can be had, here. 

You can buy prepackaged sushi boxes, or pick your own sushi. When buying your own selection, simply pick whichever individually wrapped sushi from the shelf and put it in your tray. The individually wrapped sushi are both a blessing and a curse, in that you can pick whatever you want in any amount, but will have to spend time opening every one that you want. 

The food here is fairly decent. It's not spectacular, but is quite cost effective, if you're just looking to have some Asian food. 

Also, wasabi for your sushi costs extra at Wasabi. Y U NO BE REASONABLE?!

I have only been to 2 Wasabi restaurants and the one in Waterloo Station was my go-to while I lived in London.  The reason is because the portion sizes were significantly greater than those at the South Kensington restaurant, for the same price.  This place gives you much more rice that I usually don't even finish it because it is so much.  I always finished my meal whenever I ate at South Kensington.  This one definitely gives you more bang for your buck.

The curry katsu and teriyaki chicken are both decent, if a bit awkward to eat in their bucket-style containers.  Grab-n-go at its finest.

Wasabi is great at lunchtime, you pick up a small Wasabi tray on your entrance and you are greeted with rows of different types of sushi to either take away or eat in. 
There is a good vegetarian selection, and the seaweed wrap is really tasty.  You have to pay 5p for a sachet of soy sauce and you have to pay to eat in.  Next to the till, you have the option of hot food, curries etc.  I have also had the soup here and it is very tasty.  
If you are looking for something quick, tasty and healthy then this is your place.
