The katsu itself had really tender meat with a nicely crispy exterior without being too oily. The curry had a lovely, rich flavour that complemented the katsu and rice well. Price point was fantastic -- I'd love to come again to try some of their yummy curry and noodle options.

Misato is a Japanese restaurant located in London's Chinatown. Most of the reviews made Misato seem…read moreto be a pretty promising place to dine for sushi. We decided to hop over there to try a few of their rolls. Unfortunately we were in a bit of a time crunch and would have appreciated if they offered takeout/ take-away, however, they do not. Only dine in is available here... which is kind of out the norm coming from the US. This restaurant is quite authentic though, owned by Japanese! We were hoping to find Caterpillar roll or some roll with avocado and protein; they do not have a wide selection. We ended up just getting an avocado roll, which was simply sushi rice, seaweed, and avocado.

I really appreciated the concept of this restaurant. Everything was so convenient - grab and go…read more The food quality was pretty good too and everything tasted yummy. My kid really liked the gyozas. I liked they curry and rice. They provide generous portions for the reasonable prices that they charge. They even have a sit down area for guests to enjoy the food. During the lunch and dinner hour it gets pretty hectic and crazy. A long line forms that wraps around the store. I wish they had this store chain in the U.S. I would definitely frequent this restaurant. However, I don't think this concept would work in spread out cities. It would only work in areas like London or New York where there is a dense working population.

I love Wasabi. Unfortunately, this location has become a bit hit and miss…read more The positives are that this is a flagship branch. If you're familiar with Wasabi, they're all run slightly differently depending on store layout and seating. You get some that are takeaway only, others that only serve hot food pre-packed. Or hot food served canteen-style. In addition to having all the above, this one includes a salad bar. This is one of my favourite dishes, combining some salad leaves, other more substantial salads like potato or noodles, with some items like cold chicken karrage, dumplings and sweet chilli breaded chicken. The portions of this used to be enormous. Recently however they've started weighing all the items they put into the salad. After each item, it's returned to the scale which wastes both my time and frustrates me as they've started to skimp. Previously I got 3 dumplings in a serving. Now that's sometimes down to 2. The pre-packed sushi is very good. Big portions and reasonably priced. Hot food however used to be excellent value at £5 a potion. This has been increased to £5.50 and you're charged 12.5% for eating in!! Wasabi has always been know as the value sushi chain. Cheap prices, good quality sushi/hot meals in huge quantities. They're slowly cutting back on portions, increasing prices and as a result I will probably be cutting back on eating here. It's good when it's good. But the focus needs to return to value and customer service.

Wasabi- Kings X…read more Wasabi is one of my favourite places for quick bites at the London Kings X station, or sometimes I get take away items from one of their other branches. I went to the Kings X shop today & had a great salmon sashimi snack box for £3.95...Six pieces of salmon, and a lovely seaweed, lettuce & endomame bean salad, plus wasabi (mustard) and pickled ginger. There was a queue, but it went quickly. Usually the few tables in front of the shop are taken, but there are others further along. They also have other dishes on offer such as sushi, noodles, and various croquette-style dishes, etc.

Great spot for a quick bite and hot soup…read more My mom got the hot noodle soup called the Chicken Gyoza Soumen and it already contains the noodles, veggies and gyoza. After paying for it at the register, the cashier pours in the hot broth and offers to add any toppings for the soup. It's perfect cold weather food but there's no seating available inside/outside since it's a convenience store set up. The wifi here is solid so I will give them that lol

As we look for places to eat amongst coworkers, we decided to go to a Japanese place. Not being…read morefamiliar with places to eat here in London, I looked to Yelp, and of course someone from our hotel recommended this place too. So I can say it wasn't bad at all, but it wasn't the beat Sushi I have had. I would go back for sure as the service was good, minus my coworkers chicken dish took forever to come out, as we kept having to check on it. The Uni was definitely not a bad batch as it had a sweetness and creamy texture that I would expect. Amaebi was not the larger shrimp with the fried heads, so not what I was expecting. As for the Natto Rolls, I could tell you that our young waitress made a surprising face, which made me laugh, as I could tell she was from Japan, as I was told not many Japanese even eat Natto. Of course I had to ask later and she is not a fan. Hahaha... I enjoyed it though. Enjoy.

Plenty of wait staff who were quite attentive, including some who were preparing table side shabu shabu (cooking thinly sliced meat and veggies in a broth).

I ordered their ten piece nigiri (17 GBP), grilled miso black cod (12 GBP), and salmon belly age dashi (cooked lightly in a daikon soy based sauce) (7 GBP). All were excellent including with fresh not powdered wasabi root. Super affordable, high quality with great service -- what's not to like!

One thing is for certain is they are extremely consistent. There is something to appreciate about seeing a Wasabi, walking in and grabbing a small box and drink for a few pounds and it being exactly the same as the one you were at yesterday several kilometers away. It's the McDonalds of Japanese. I sure will miss them the most. I even dropped in on one in Birmingham Bullring and it was exactly the same as the first one I visited here in Knightsbridge. I can't wait to try one when I get back to LA and see if it's the same or not. That would be just something short of amazing if the consistency was the same as here in London. Honestly, if I walked by one back home before this trip, I probably wouldn't even look twice or think about out. But now, for bits n pieces, this is a must snack-a-roni for me. I'll be happy to report back if and when I do.
