Great inventive Japanese Great squid Unami plus really fresh sushi Quick service love the specials They are family friendly and reasonable value for money Will be back again
Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced!! They were very helpful when we asked for advise with ordering. Lovely atmosphere and very friending Staff. Would definitely go back
Wasabi Place was fantastic, the food is fresh, quick and tasty, notable dishes are the chicken Katsu curry and chicken popper. We took our three boys and they loved it. The service is friendly and it’s very well priced. I would recommend it for a lovely evening out though I would suggest booking as there is limited space.
Terrific modern food and great service would definitely go back again must try the chicken pops and the cheesy salmon sushi No more to say!
Food rating 100%. Staff gentle and polite. However the sushi we ordered didn't arrived. Our booking was at 7.30, there were 6 of us and when the food came it came very quickly -so I asked for a break before we continued the meal. Once again the rest of the food that we did receive was fabulous but at 9.:30 the restaurant was being cleaned around us, sweeping of floors, wiping down of tables and putting the chairs on top of the tables. We didn't want to eat and run so we stayed until 10.30 and apart from all the activity, once it ceased the staff went into the kitchen and we didn't feel quite so pressured. Having said this I would go back to this restaurant a few times a week because there are so many interesting things on the menu. Actually I would prefer to give this restaurant a low rating because I would like to keep it a secret 😏
Fantastic food and service. New items on the daily specials board offer interesting choices. The only negative thing about The Wasabi Place is that it is quite noisy when there are more people there.
Excellent. Best value Japanese on offer. Fresh, quick, tasty, cheerful. 10/10. We have eaten here a number of times and it never disappoints. Grilled salmon nigiri is probably the favourite but there are so many other favourites as well. Too many to mention.
We asked for a table for 6 at 6pm to be out by 6.50. All meals were served promptly and we were out by 6.50. Food is consistently delicious here and the only problem is choosing from the large menu. Highly recommended
The staff were very attentive. The service was great. The food looked fantastic and was absolutely delicious. The prices were low. The restaurant was very busy. Overall a very pleasant dining experience and we will return.
Fabulous menu. Lovely staff. Great value. The children loved the options and we particularly loved the spicy chicken entrees. This is my fifth visit and it never fails to hit the mark. A fantastic local spot.
