A deeply upsetting experience--left without eating…read more I rarely leave negative reviews, and I never make accusations lightly. But what my friend and I experienced at Wakaze was so disturbing that I feel compelled to speak up. From the moment we were seated, the treatment we received--especially toward my friend, who is Black and wears a hijab--was cold, dismissive, and dehumanizing. The server assigned to our table dropped the menus without eye contact or a greeting. When we asked for recommendations, she stared blankly and refused to respond, despite having just spoken fluent English to another table. We tried to remain polite and asked for more time, but she simply walked away. When she returned, her demeanor hadn't changed. No warmth, no courtesy--just a curt "ok" and a pen poised to take our order. I was overly polite in hopes of shifting the energy, but the way she treated my friend made it clear: we were not welcome. We ultimately chose to leave without ordering. The contrast in service at Yo! Sushi afterward--where we were greeted with smiles and treated with dignity--was stark and heartbreaking. It opened my eyes to what hijabis and visibly Muslim women endure far too often. I hope no one else has to experience what we did. Wakaze needs to reflect deeply on how their staff treats guests, especially those from marginalized communities.

I even had to go up to the front to settle my bill, and no one else was in the restaurant. All of the talking and chatter I could hear was from the kitchen/sushi chefs. As for the food, it wasn't too bad. Minus a few things I will point out in the photos. I doubt I would go back as I was still wanting to order a bit more, but with the lack of service. I decided to go else where to get a bit of dessert or coffee.

Average japanese restaurant…read more Reason I ate from here is because they're the only full japanese restaurant that delivers on Deliveroo. Maki rolls are alright, but very high rice:other ingredient ratio unlike Wakaze (see my review - it's much better value for money). Overall - it's a fine japanese restaurant, but there's a better one in the city.

The vibe of this place is really cool! There's loads of seating around the sushi bar and booths and…read moreI believe there is upstairs seating as well? There is a constant sushi train going around and basically you just pick off whatever you'd like or you can order something specifically. Each item is priced by the colour of the dish it's in and when you are done eating, a waiter will come over and tally everything up! It's a pretty cool concept! We decided to just randomly take things off the train and try them! Everything we had was super delicious but I couldn't tell you what it was!! We also had the matcha latte which was yum! Only downside to this place is it can be kind of pricey! It was £4-6 for 2 pieces of a sushi roll, cheaper for fruit/salads/edamame and more for sushi/sashimi combos and hot food. In the end, the staff were super friendly and made it a memorable lunch!

First of all the portions were very small. And as for the taste, this probably goes down as the worst sushi I have ever had. The duck and mango roll was ok - although not much mango flavor. The tuna roll was downright disgraceful. Avocado roll... so little avocado and the seaweed even seem discolored and the taste was off. I was really disappointed with my meal here. Maybe if you came and sat at the counter on a Monday (when they have a deal) you would have a better experience as you can see everything go around and choose items that look good.

My only critique is I wish more places did a mix up of what you can order. I like to try different things and I can never eat more than a starter & a main. Would love to see more set menus where you can try a bit of everything. Plus I'm greedy and get bored of the same thing lol I had pumpkin katsu...so delicious, never had that before, really tasty. Then chicken Katsu which is chicken in bread crumbs, smothered with lovely curry sauce and noodles. Quite a lot on my plate so I shared it with my BF. We also ordered variety of sushi but I wished I had the meat rather than the fish. All in all I've had a lovely evening with my friends & my man stuffing our faces drinking my birthday gin.

First meal of the night, after getting here from Heathrow Airport during rush hour we got to…read moreCambridge around 8:00 pm checked in and literally walked across the street to Wasabi. Yes it was pretty much almost about to be closing, so the item selection/ choices was very very limited. The place was also quite a mess. The tables weren't cleaned, the trash collecting area was overfilling! Overall I would say this is probably not normal during the day time when they are open. But overall this place is a super popular chain located to many train and subway stops around the UK. It's pretty much a fast food Japanese style. They have sushi pieces that you can get or bento boxes, miso soup, also some chicken katsu that they will heat up with a microwave. It's unique for sure but overall quality and how much a mess this place was, seems a little unsettling. Ordered just a few pieces of sushi because I wasn't that hungry but I knew I had to eat something. It was not super tasty or delicious, it was just edible.

I'm surprised by the high ratings on here. The service and environment were more than adequate…read more Wasabi is an upscale fast food restaurant and it feels like an upscale fast food restaurant. The prices are that of an upscale fast food restaurant. The food is not. Chicken Katsu was soggy and tasteless and the roll I got was equally tasteless. I won't go back.

Now, my Tom and I both share the same opinion about chain restaurants, which thankfully lands us in…read moresome amazing places! We'd started our annual trip to frankfurt market and pub crawl, which has become an old schoolmate traditional, and a few drinks in, and still fairly early in the day, we decided that it was probably wise that we actually ate. Hello yelp app, and a fancy for Japanese. After spending a rounds worth of deliberating if we could go to somewhere with such a name, we caved with the great reviews. We were brought in, past the low kneeling tables and water features to the bar around the little kitchen, a slight spot in the beautiful decor were the sports direct mugs on a shelf which made us chuckle a little. I plumped for jasmine tea whilst perusing the substantial menu, Tom, shocked that I was breaking the alcohol chain, did the same. The menu was pretty detailed and it took a bit of flicking back and forth to choose, but all the contents were listed well enough. We went for one of the cheaper platters, the soft shell crab, and the california rolls, and after the beef was unfortunately unavailable, we went for something else too, but I can't remember which! We were happy, so very happy, we saw everything prepared before our eyes with rapid skill, whilst our miso soup headed to us on the model train that loops around it. We crammed our plates in the small place between us, and got to work, chopsticks in hand and with plenty of wasabi and picked ginger, on the lovely little place settings they have. The soft shell crab was probably our favourite, so much so that he text we from work in denmark recently in the middle of the night saying he had cravings for soft shell crab sushi and gin! I've been here since to introduce my mum to sushi when I was visiting, and the service and food was just as good (even if my Mum decided sushi wasn't her thing! Haha!) It is pricy though, so something for a treat!

Hamachi, salmon and eel were of excellent quality. Tuna was average. Rolls were good. Overall a nice place for a date and worth the slightly higher prices.

In terms of straight sushi - there's a selection of prepackaged boxes while you can also grab single pieces separately in a plastic sleeve. My only complaint is that while the prepackaged boxes come with soy sauce and wasabi, they do not come with ginger. Admittedly the ginger is only 25p or so but it's less about the price and more about accidentally forgetting they stopped including some. The drink selection is somewhat minimal but what is there allows for a fair choice. From water to coke. The staff are often friendly which helps provide a welcoming atmosphere and the tables/seating arrangements are varied enough to allow for a solo meal, a date between 2 or even a much larger group. Ultimately I'd highly reccomend this resteraunt and would specifically reccomend the Inari.
