Noodle and Sushi was amazing. Taste was amazing. and service is good. highly recommended place.

This place is awesome! I didn't expect to find a place that sold Mango Sago and other types of Chinese sweet dessert, or shaved ice in the middle of Manchester. Hell, it was hard to find a good mango sago place even in the U.S, where Chinese community is big. And I found it right here in the middle of Manchester Chinatown! I got the mango sago with mango, black pudding, and white rice balls. It was delicous, light, and exactly what I expected it to taste like. The dessert shop was pretty empty at lunch time. but the interior was nice and well-decorated. This dessert shop was hidden on the upper floor of the conveyor belt sushi restaurant Wasabi, and that made it even more of a hidden gem. read more

Worst sushi I ever had, salmon nigiri was paper thin. Sushi rice was not seasoned properly read more

Great conveyor belt sushi place in downtown Manchester. After the lunch rush you can get in, get seated and start eating within a minute. It's actually really cool. The sushi itself was very good quality and a wide variety. They even gave us a 50% discount on our bill which we were very surprised at so it was extremely cheap. Even at full price it would have been reasonable. Not 5 stars because the service wasn't actually that good. Fortunately in a self serve restaurant it's not a huge detractor but it took too long to get drinks and ask for the bill. read more

We went to Wasabi for the dessert room. We wanted yam ice cream and got it. The taro snow ice cream was fantastic. Frozen shaved ice cream with red bean and rice balls. Absolutely lovely and worth the detour. read more

This restaurant seems to be very popular especially for the younger crowd, as there was a queue outside when we first passed by before we finally decided to give it a try about half an hour later. We were seated by the sushi conveyor belt near the entrance very quickly. My friend ordered a mixed sashimi for 1 person while I had the set C teishoku (set meal). The £18 mixed sashimi had salmon, tuna, tamago (never thought that would be considered a sashimi item), and surf clams. It didn't seem very impressive in terms of the selection of fish (and eggs). My £21 teishoku was better as it came with mixed tempura (although they didn't give me the sauce that should typically be served with tempura), udon in broth, miso soup, 6 nigiri sushi, 2 pieces of salmon and tuna sashimi each, daikon radish, grilled salmon belly (it should be grilled cod but they ran out so they substituted it with 2 pieces of salmon belly). The best item was the grilled salmon belly which was done perfectly well. I gave 4 stars because of that grilled salmon belly as everything else would probably be just average. read more

I've had food from Wasabi a couple of times - the first time takeaway noodles from the Printworks branch, which were good enough that I ordered more noodles when I visited the branch near Oxford Road, which were some of the worst food I've ever had in a restaurant. This was my first time in the Chinatown branch and I regret not having ever come here when I worked nearby. I decided to only have sushi given the bad noodles experience. The sushi of course is not top drawer but it seemed fresh and the salmon nigiri and sashimi were both a decent quality - better than I've had a Yo Sushi for example. The rolls were ok, more of a filler really than anything with particular flavour. Service was a little haphazard, they forgot my friend's chicken gyoza but when we reminded them it was obviously the next thing cooked because it came out straight away (actually I also tried some and was pretty good). The prices are what really make Wasabi worthwhile, the lunchtime deal of £1 per plate means you can get a substantial lunch sub £5 and also you wouldn't feel uncomfortable sitting alone and can get in and out quickly, which is ideal really for an office worker. Incidentally, if you're at the other end of town for lunch, Umezushi has an excellent lunch deal for their excellent quality sushi and sashimi. read more

Following a boozy day in Manchester we decided to pop to Wasabi in China Town for some quick sushi for dinner. For a Saturday evening it was rather busy, so we waited around 15 minutes for two seats at the belt. Once seated we opted for the set menus - I ordered set menu B at £8.95 giving me 3 grey plates of sushi off the belt and 1 hot noodle or rice dish cooked from the kitchen. Neil C. ordered the Wasabi set menu at £17.95 with 10 grey plates off the belt and 1 hot noodle or rice dish. He didn't eat them all, don't worry, we split the 13 plates between us and it was plenty for the 2 of us as well as a main meal each. The service in here is great. Anything you don't see on the belt you can order fresh from the kitchen at no extra cost. For a quick lunch or dinner to satisfy a sushi crave, I would always recommend wasabi. read more

I would say Wasabi serves its purpose! Ouch, a little harsh okay. It's good sushi, and they know what they're doing. It's perfect for a quick lunch between meetings, and they have good offers on (6 sushi dishes + miso soup for £8.95) but a little on the pricey side. I think they'd get more people through the doors if they had cheaper lunchtime deals on, something for on the go commuters who just need to grab a bite. However, it's clean, staff are friendly and it's easy to park! So I wouldn't say I was disappointed, just a little... meh! I'm sure there's better sushi in Manchester, but it's good for a quick meal. I wouldn't take out-of-towners here. read more

Wasabi - The sushi belt. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Manchester, XGM

I entered Wasabi to find a packed room with a mono colored conveyor belt. That sublime, wonderful, divine white colored plate meant that the sushi it contained was one pound. ONE POUND. At this price you obviously can't expect the best sushi of your life but you know what, it was not bad. I've had much worse in certain branches of yo sushi, and for a lot more money. For this particular lunch deal, you won't find anything high profile such as sashimi or hand rolls, but I had some lovely california rolls, along with spicy salmon nigiri, edamame and avocado maki. Total bill came up to 7 pounds, and I had a feast. Good to know though, they only accept credit cards for a minimum of 8 pounds, or you need to pay an extra 50 p. My belly made the maths before my head did: "I either pay 7,50 pounds, or I can get an extra plate and bring the bill to 8 pounds and problem solved..." Nom nom nom. I didn't have time (or space left) to try their desert upstairs but I would go back just for a taste of their green tea waffles. read more

I've been here twice lately and that's saying a lot because I hardy ever visit the same place twice in such a short space of time. First I went for an evening meal and enjoyed Set Menu B, which includes three plates of sushi and a main meal, all for less than £9! Secondly I went for weekend lunch at the bargain price of £5.50 for a bowl of miso soup and three plates of sushi. The setup is very similar to Yo Sushi with the sushi coming around on the conveyor belt and there being different coloured plates at different prices. There's a list of the dishes so you know what you're picking and the dishes tend to come round in the order they're listed to make life even easier. Cheaper and way better than Yo Sushi! read more

Well not the best sushi that you will every have, wasabi is one off the cheapist. Great when I'm broke and in need of a sushi fix - I can grab some plats and a main for under a tenner. I do find that this place is a great stepping stone into bigger and better sushi places, know I need to grab me a plane ticket. read more

Wasabi - The sets here with out the cheapist - Sushi Bars Near Me - Manchester, XGM

You may have noticed, things have changed with the El Food Brothers. This review features no mention of beer, El Food One had a water and El Food Two something that looked like a Lemsip. Theres no meaty burgers, carb-loaded Pie and Mash or infinite amounts of chicken wings. Whats left? Fish. The final frontier. El Food Two suggests we give Sushi a go. We've heard the word before, and have the laymans view of it. It's all raw fish isn't it? A quick google confirms our suspicions, but Sushi doesn't have to be raw fish at all. In fact a lot of it is just rice and veg, which doesn't make us any more comfortable. It takes us until Friday to pluck up the courage to hit the fish (slap the bass?). Deciding on the classic 'Generation Game' style of Sushi, as we've got no chance if presented with a menu to choose from. Wasabi is the destination for our lunch time fishing trip. We are immediately out of our comfort zone as we pass over the Northern Quarter border to 'the-rest-of-Manchester' and immediately loose 300 cool points. But we have a lot of cool points to play with, so we keep like 'Snoopy in Shades' as we try and navigate to the Printworks. Heading randomly down streets, we chose a left, as I ask the question is this where the Printworks is, El Food Two is pointing at the, frankly ludicrously large sinage hanging proudly on the wall. Its safe to say our boat has sailed true and the shore is in site. Wasabi is equally well signposted, with its neon sign our lighthouse in the dark of the Printworks. I can tell El Food Two is still not sure on this, as he makes me put my foot on the shores of Wasabi first. Its cosy in here, just enough room to swing a lucky cat, or the Sushi belt and the seats around it. We are quickly shown to our seat, nestled between fellow sailors who must be the rank of Admiral or at least Captain, compared to our First-mate and Cabin Boy status. Theres some rough seas following the smooth sailing from our mooring, and a touch of sea sickness as we suddenly realise we are far from the shore, and neither of us even know which way Port and Starboard are. The seas calm as a member of the crew comes to speak with us. I take the 'own-up-to-not-having-even-learnt-to-swim' tactic and we get thrown a much needed life raft, as we get the Idiots Guide to Sushi. Pick what you want off the belt. Theres a big picture up of what everything is, and the colour coding tells you how much it costs. Oh, and its £1 for the Grey ones at lunch time. Winner, we'll stick to the greys and we can't go wrong. Lets do this. Grab us those pots off the side. "Whats that pink stuff? Thats not Wasabi" says El Food Two. Pickled Ginger I reply (I've done Sushi once before, it wasn't very good and very expensive. It was a chain I shall not mention, as I think we've got one too many pending law suits. It rhymes with Mo Pushi) Another pot is grabbed, full of the green stuff. "You know its just horseradish dyed green" I pipe up, in a classic attempt of wanting to seem like I know what I'm doing. No one is impressed. Ok, we can do this, we've got the ship the right way up and heading in what we think is the right direction, but we still can't tell you which way is Starboard. Ride on the the São Food Brothers as I take you on our high seas adventure, picture by picture. (You'll have to cross reference with the pictures on Yelp) Think this is a Cucumber hoso maki - no fish yet, we might as well have stayed on shore Katsu Fish Cake - No we are talking. But Katsu, thats basically Birdseye territory, and a fish cake? We could have stayed on shore and gone the chippy Breaded Crab Claw - Now we are talking, this is proper sea food. Look at its little claw! But wait, breaded? Thats definitely Birdseye, and once you get over the claw, it was like a fish finger lolly. If the stick used to be attached to creature of the sea Crab stick hoso maki (again I think) As if the crab hadn't had a hard enough time having its claw deep fried, I've come back to eat its stick. Spicy tuna gunkan. I didn't try this one, but I got a good bit of it up my nose. Being fish keepers, we both agreed this smelt exactly like an aquarium. It was definitely worth casting off for this one That concludes our sail of the seven (five then) seas. We had an Katsu egg as well, but failed to get a picture of that. You think you've seen all the ways of cooking eggs, but then something like this surprises you. I shall insist on having all my eggs katsu-ed from now on. We head to the till to pay, only a fiver for me as I am exclusively drinking water. I'm more than happy with the food and experience for that money, and El Food Two even said he might come again. Maybe next time we'll have learnt our Starboard from our Port. Our Hoso Maki's from our Gunkan. Or maybe at least we'll have learnt how to swim. 7 Kastu Eggs out of 10 Katsu Chickens read more

Is it just a bit of fun or a disturbing sign of the times that we would rather get served raw fish from a conveyor belt than get served cooked food by an actual human being- you remember those don't you? To be fair, the sushi here is fantastic (if a little overpriced). Be warned however the dishes are small so Wasabi is definitely not a place for the famished. Years ago an evening in a sushi restaurant would have meant a few hours listening to some overpaid new media wankers on the next table harp on about someone called Rosario who they'd commissioned to create an art installment out of collected cow farts in some kind of statement about greenhouse gasses. Thankfully sushi is a lot more mainstream these days.... so you can now expect the same wankers to be talking about Dave in IT. read more

The problem with this place is its lack of variety. There are only a handful of dishes that go around the conveyor belt. The seating area is only small (around 30 people) so this place can not handle lots of large groups. On the upside 12pm to 3pm Monday to Friday you can get all sushi for a £1 a plate- I know its crazy talk hey but true. Great service and great staff but overall not the best sushi restaurant I have been too. read more

If you're having actual sushi cravings this is not the place for you. If it's your first time at wasabi, you would walk in and see their fantastic pricing on their gray plates (£2) which includes salmon nigiri and spicy salmon nigiri, the menu gets your hopes up then the let down hits when you actually get the sushi. Their fish on the sushi is so thin that I think I'm only qualified to review their sushi rice (which tasted pretty good if you were actually wondering). If you head on down to my pictures you'd see that you can see right through the piece of salmon to the plate. Nudo sushi had fish pieces 4x thicker than wasabi, no exaggeration. This makes the excitement about £2 sushi go away pretty quickly, in fact it makes it expensive since your paying £2 for two pieces of rice. The variety they put out on the belt is also very limited (mostly fried chicken with lettuce "sushi") unless the seating around the belt is mostly full so you'd have to order each dish you want with the waiter, kinda defeats the purpose and experience of a conveyor belt sushi place if you ask me. Short summary this does not serve as a good sushi spot but if you want hot foods and small plates it's not so bad. read more

I am not the biggest fan of conveyor belts or for that matter super crowded restaurants but the delicious food in Wasabi makes up for everything! When I think of sushi i cant really think beyond Wasabi because you can never go wrong with their deals. My favorite deal is the 8.50 one, where you get 3 plates of Sushi along with any main dish (Fills me up every time). They have a wide range of Sushi, prawns, salmon, eel, chicken, vegetarian and many more. Definitely try their miso soup and Laksa curry, because they are absolutely delicious! I would say its best to avoid peak times like evening 5-7 or weekend lunch times because then you wont have a good experience and might just get pissed off. I would recommend going there for a late night dinner when its quiet and you don't have to wait for an hour to be seated and then compete with the others to snatch your favorite plate from the belt. Verdict: Great food, value for money but not the best place to sit and dine! If you are a foodie like me you might become a regular here! read more

There's something very satisfying about plucking your lunch from a conveyor belt. Ok, it's a little gimmicky and it certainly isn't the highest quality Japanese fare you kind find, buy Wasabi do a great job of making a visit here a fun and affordable experience. Located in the Printworks, Wasabi Sushi also offers teppanyaki noodles, tempura, rice dishes and more. It's similar to Yo! Sushi except you can get the same quality food here for less, especially when you go for one of the restaurant's lunch or evening deals. For £7.95 per you can choose 6 plates from the conveyor belt plus a bowl of miso soup/rice dish/noodle dish. This was more than enough for me but if you have a big appetite you may want to opt for the £12.95 deal which includes 10 sushi dishes (but trust me, you'll be rolling out of there). I plumped for the Tokyo roast pork ramen noodles with my sushi plates, which was a meal in itself! The conveyor belt was sometimes varied and other times not but you can ask a waiter to bring you a dish that someone else go to before you. Favourites include the fresh sashimi and the spicy tuna. A great, quick refill. read more

I go to Wasabi when I need a sushi fix and cannot afford to go to Yo Sushi and often mix going to the China Town one or the Printworks. I normally go for the special deals and they more than fill me up. Staff at both places are oriental and I normally have to ask twice or ask them to repeat what they've just said. It is normally busy in the China Town one and the staff can be chatty and friendly if you are a regular as I am not, the reception is average to below average. What also draws me to this place is the dessert room upstairs but the staff here are average to shockingly bad (lack of smile or common sense) :( read more

My introduction to sushi was in Vancouver where i'd eat it daily for lunch at work because over there it is not only cheap, but also very good. So on returning to Manchester it was a shock to find the only sushi accessible seemed to be at around £8 per roll or more and an evening restaurant style. Quite steeply priced. With the arrival of Yo and Wasabi in Manchester, this made sushi more accessible to rookies and provided a more affordable option to those of us that wanted to make it a more regular dining occurrence. One of the great things about Wasabi are the meal deals where you can buy just off the belt sushi or combine it with another hot Japanese cuisine. My usual is meal B which is 3 dishes off the belt combined with a hot dish (pork teppenyaki with soba noodles for me) for a reasonable £8 ish. The katsu curry is also a winner. Everytime I visit I leave satisfied, happy to have got my hit in pleasant surroundings with friendly staff, but i also leave with a few small complaints. 1. the rolls are a bit loose 2. why can i see tuna mayo in a roll 3. why is there never any avocado maki on the belt. but if that's all I've got to complain about, then it really does pass a lot of tests. I highly recommend going to wasabi as if you like sushi you will become a regular. wasabi is not the finest sushi, or the best sushi and often presents some strange combination of roll fillings, but I probably eat there more than any other sushi restaurant in Manchester simply because it gives me my hit of sushi for a reasonable price. keep up the good work Wasabi read more

I will start by saying that conveyor belt sushi restaurants are anathema to my idea of how sushi should be prepared and served, so I was hesitant to darken the door of Wasabi in Chinatown. The wait was long as it is only one approx. 20 person round table in a small room. I opted for their fabulously priced £7 lunch takeaway box of 5 plates (10 pieces of nigiri sushi/ roll) of your choice. Even if what you want isn't on the conveyor belt they will prepare it for you fresh- but be prepared to wait. The tuna nigiri sushi was alright. The colour of the tuna was weird but it tasted just fine. The rolls were not so fine. They contained some major sushi offenders common in the UK: lashings of cream cheese, beetroot, bell peppers and tinned tuna. Next time I will skip the rolls. And there will be a next time- I'd like to try the hot food on offer, the service and atmosphere seemed congenial and my insatiable appetite for Japanese food will draw me back. read more

So I like Wasabi, they are in this case only in Manchester, which is slightly confusing if you are used to traveling through London Euston where you will discover another chain with the same name. However, I am here to talk about Manchester's own Wasabi, which I feel is really good I enjoy taking away from here or eating in, plus I think they are good value for money. I particularly feel their £1 plate deal between 12 and 3pm (week days only I think) is a winner. The staff are good too not that they have to much to do in my case as I tend to sit down and see what delights pass by on the sushi conveyor belt. They also have a good set menu so even if you are find yourself in here at different times you can get a good deal. The fist is very good. I don't know which came first Wasabi or Yo! but I prefer Wasabi and also think they are better value. read more

I like this place, it is small but has a decent number of staff and customers. Some of the reviews are a bit strained in that they are expecting the earth for what is essentially very very cheap sushi on a conveyor belt. I only tried the food on the belt and although there were only a few dishes it tasted fairly nice. Not fantastic but what do you expect from a place where it costs £1 a plate? They have a nice selection of Japanese beers I remember from my time in Japan and it is generally clean but slightly cramped. This isn't too bad except when people choose to eat upstairs from a set menu when you have people leaning over you and between you to grab things off the belt. Though this is less of a failing of the restaurant itself more of a failing of the people who do this. read more

I don't think I can give them any less rating than this, when I go almost on a weekly basis. I am sure they are sick of me in Oxford Road branch and the Printworks branch. Let me tell you one thing. I am Japanese, therefore I am picky when it comes to Japanese food. So a Japanese restaurant run by Chinese people, who plays Korean music might appear a bit odd. However, I would say this is the closest to the real Japanese taste you're going to get in Manchester. I go here regularly with my other Japanese colleague, and we say this all the time. It's not perfect. Like Japanese don't put wakame in ramen noodles. But it is the best you're going to get in Manchester. (Not to mention the price is awesome.) read more

This has to be the cheapest sushi places! My boyfriend originally hated fish and refused to go into a sushi bar... but wasabi caters for the beginners who are afraid of trying sushi. .. You can get a cooked meal and three plates of the conveyer belt for less than a tenner to help break you in. Now my other half has ten plates of sushi and the staff are always so friendly and order you anything that's not on the belt... There is less choice than yo sushi but its cheaper and tastier...my only quibble is that tuna is not always available :( read more

I've got so say I didn't rate this place. Went last night for a bowl of noodles and a beer and had quite a few complaints. The place itself was really nice to sit in and they've got a Yo Sushi! Style conveyor belt which is good fun and you don't have to pay the price of being in a western establishment pretending to be authentic just to enjoy it. Apart from that I cant say much for it. I had some Chickeny noodle thing from the specials menu, which was pretty nice, but my housemate went for the seafood soba, and the mussels were really strange tasting so I'm placing a question mark next to them. She ended up fishing out all the seafood and just eating the noodles. They have a really nice Japanese beer called Sapporo, but mine was off or had been opened days before because it was flat so I had to send it back. The sushi on the conveyor belt looked like it might have been there all day, and anyway I don't like the idea of choosing something already sitting there, when it seems so much better to order it fresh. Finally they hassled us out by staring at us after we had paid when we still had some beer left to consume. read more

Sainsbury's sushi just not doing it for you? Get into town and to Wasabi. This restaurant is tiny and usually packed - hence the loss of a star because there's usually a ten minute wait to get a table and it's all quite close quarters, sat around the conveyor belt of sushi. The lunch deal more than makes up for it though, £4.95 for 3 plates from the belt and a bowl of miso soup. Just enough to nicely fill you up and tasty to boot. The tofu bags are so delicious, quite sweet but definitely worth a taste and the edamame beans are quite a nice variation on classic sushi. If there's a roll you're after you can order it to be made by the chef rather than trying to grab it all before everyone else. They also have a great range of take-away platters which are sooo reasonably priced - 70 pieces for £36, great for a party or group meal when you can't be bothered to leave the house. read more

The place is small and popular, with a high turnover. I wouldn't say the service was bad, but it's not exactly welcoming either. Expect to wait before you're seated at the conveyor belt in somewhat cramped surroundings, with a TV at the end showing endless J-pop videos. I'm not a great fan of sushi, so went for the normal menu: decent chicken gyoza with an unusual and tasty soy dip, followed by a well-done, filling, beef ramen, with good miso flavourings. My companion's thoughts on the sushi: nice & fresh. They're happy to take sushi plate orders so there's no need to wait for something to appear on the belt. The set menus also have the option of a noodle side dish: the chicken teri yaki soba was a good choice. A good choice for lunch; a bad choice for an extended sit down. read more

I am a sucker for sushi. Even more so if it's both cheap and plentiful - two things which are guaranteed to make my perpetually hungry stomach very happy indeed. So, when a friend told me about Wasabi, I knew that I had to go there. And fast, before my stomach decided to make a break for it and go there on its own. Seeing as we were feeling lazy, we decided to order sushi from the Printworks branch via Justeat.co.uk and get it delivered to my friend's flat. Unfortunately, there appeared to be a mix-up during the ordering process, which meant that it took 90 minutes (and two rather irate phonecalls) for us to finally get our dinner. However, I will give credit to Wasabi - once they finally managed to process our order, they delivered it to the house in record time, and even gave us some complementary Miso soup and Edamame to make up for the delay. They obviously knew that the way to this girls heart is via mega portions of warm savoury-salty soup. Thankfully, Wasabi's food is certainly worth the wait. And my friend wasn't lying about the portion sizes. We ordered two of their sushi platters and it was more than enough to feed three people, and have some leftovers for breakfast the next day. And the sushi itself was amazing - this is none of your refridgerated Marks & Spencers stuff, but the real deal - achingly fresh fish, sticky rice and oodles of sinus clearing wasabi, soy and pickled ginger to top it all with. All in all, Wasabi is a great place if you're looking for a really different type of takeaway that won't break the bank. I'm now really looking forward to dining at one of their branches the next time I'm in Manchester - so much so, I'm considering wearing my extra large elasticated pants, just in case. read more

An tiny japanese restaurant squashed squashed into manchester's China town, Wasabi offers authentic japanese cuisine and drink, including 'sake'. I think the hallmark of a genuine quality restaurant that sells food from its homeland is the amount of people it attracts FROM that homeland. And Wasabi is always packed with Japanese people. The menu is diverse and great value and sometimes you might eat something and have no idea what it was, but in the end that just adds to the excitement. At least rest in the knowledge it wasn't dog. They only eat that in China. read more

I regularly eat out at Wasabi, and it's always a great experience. Although tiny, the seating is all spread around the conveyor belt and turnover is pretty speedy; I dined there with a friend recently and we'd ordered, eaten and paid in about 45mins (we were famished!). The service here is always fast and pleasant seemingly whatever day/time you go. As other people have mentioned, the food here is pretty good, and importantly, great value for money. The only thing that would make this place even better for me is if they stocked Asahi black (my fave japanese beer). read more

I have been to Wasabi now twice and both times it's been excellent. The Sushi selection is vast, beautifully presented and delicious. Wasabi's downstairs Sushi conveyor belt seating area sits about 30+ people, but you are never squashed on and it's comfortable - which is more to be said than a particular famous chain Sushi bar. The set menu meal deals are fabulous value for money, you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal with food of such high quality. I have eaten of the small set menu's (A and B) - first time visit I enjoyed Tokyo Pork with Teppan Yaki Soba Noodles and 3 plates of Sushi from the belt for £7.95 and today I had 6 plates of sushi from the belt with a bowl of miso soup (the soup was wonderful) for the same price as above. You get served instantly on arrival and as said previously the turn around is speedy - this is a great place to stop off after shopping or a starter to a night out on the town. I definitely recommend this to all especially lovers of Japanese food and those eating on a tight budget. A new favourite place of mine, definitely will be making at least monthly visits - I love it that much! read more

Sorry, I don't understand the hype about this place. The selection on the conveyer belt is very very limited (a repeat of the same 6-7 dishes). The salmon is almost tasteless. However, it is better than the new Wasabi store at Printwork. However, on a positive note, the price is very affordable. The plates off the conveyer belt is £1 each (12-3pm, mon-fri). I guess this answers why the selection is limited. And as others have mentioned, there is the set lunch option. Also, everything off the a la carte menu is 30% off. read more

Taking over the cheap and cheerful Wong Chu, is Wasabi Sushi. The style of the restaurant is of a Japanese Sushi Bar with a conveyer belt going round. There are interesting meal deals here. For £7.50 you can have a main and 3 sushi plates, or 6 sushi plates. For 11.95 you can have All you can eat sushi (Max 15 plates - so not all you can eat then!) or 13.95 is for a Main and all you can eat sushi. There is a huge fault of Wasabi and that is that if you are in a group of 2 or more, you must have a the same menu. People do have varying appetites so the fact that people need to have the same quantity of food is a problem, but this could easily be rectified by the management! There are about 9 mains to choose from; Noodle based dishes, Rice based or soup based (all generous portions and delicious). The sushi is not that varied after you've had 5 plates, but the are very fresh, tasty and generous in size (not the teeny weeny Yo Sushi plates). It is very filling. If anyone ever manages a main and 15 plates of Sushi, contact me, I'll give you a badge! Oh and there is also a nice drinks selection with iced teas and fresh fruit salad. read more

I love this place! Located in China Town, this is a fantastic little Japanese restaurant. The sushi is on a little conveyor belt so you can just grab what you fancy. About 30 people can sit round the conveyor belt and there's plenty of room. The food is fantastic, very fresh and tasty. The best thing is the price, you can get a noodle or rice dish and 3 plates of sushi or 6 sushi and a bowl of miso soup for £7.95. Definitely worth a visit! read more

I been going to this place for over 2 years. As soon as you walk in they acknowledge you, professional service by the staff members.

I feel the star rating should come with a disclaimer, this is my first foray into Sushi, which seems rather odd considering I'm literally into the last few days of my 20's (sniff good bye youth you were... drunken and filled with unhealthy food) I've had 'Sushi' before though I've been told to utterly disregard it as it came from tescos which apparently makes it a little like your first love in your teens which you're later told you were young you didn't know what you were doing it was never love, sushi...wait my analogies are going down a garden path. SO! Wasabi, conveyor belt food I was dubious, but came away thinking actually this isn't too bad. it's basically a buffet where you don't have to leave your seat, you eat as much as you want to eat and pay at the end. This could be lethal in my mind if you turn up with a hunger. So upon recommendation I went with the set menu so got a large main (prawns and udon noodles, very tasty) and then you get some plates from the conveyor, I didn't really have any idea where to start and literally said to my mates 'point at what shouldl go in my face and if you screw me I'll get my revenge... one day' and so off we went picking up random plates. It can get a little frustrating that when you're deciding do I want to eat that, it's then out of your reach and you have to wait for it to come round again, which feels like an age. Be aware that not everything on the menu comes on the conveyor, I'd say the conveyor has maybe 10 (max 15) different types of dish coming round so if you're there for any length of time you'll suddenly find yourself looking at dishes going 'I keep seeing you, I don't want you and clearly no one else does because I keep seeing you' Once I'd gone through my 3 plates from my set menu, I decided to go adventorous I picked up an additional purple plate (they cost a smidgen more) to which I got nods of approval my two comrades. There's utterly no problems taking extra plates if you've chosen the set menu you just pay for them as additionals, I like that, I like that alot it just means you can eat just as much as you want to eat especially with the sizes of the plates, basically that moment where you're just like 'I'm still a little hungry, but only a little' will be a thing of the past in Wasabi. As a first experience of none supermarket sushi, it definitely made me feel like I want to go again, though it also makes me want to try other Sushi places to see if this is a good standard and whether my 4 stars are well given read more

Not the greatest sushi but cheap, cheerful and convenient. I would recommend a set menu - we opted for £8.95 for 6 plates from the belt and a miso soup. This was a satisfying amount of food and all the plates I had were pretty good, with the exception of the mackerel which I didn't really rate. I would have preferred it if there were a few more vegetable dishes on the belt, and the portions of edamame were quite small. Overall this place was great for a cheap eat and a good option for when I'm too skint to go somewhere nicer. read more

No, this is not an authentic japanese restaurant but yes it is damn cool place : not huge , but there is a great choice . There is a conveyer belt that brings you all the sushis / makis that you can dream of when you are hungry and that you want to eat quickly! It is in the centre of china Town. You can pick 6 plates for something like 8 pounds : it is quite a good value :p read more
