What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Wasabi Sushi & Bento is praised for its fresh, authentic sushi and affordable prices, making it a popular choice for a quick and satisfying Japanese meal. While many enjoy the variety of bento boxes and hot dishes, some customers have experienced inconsistent service and found certain dishes to be disappointing, particularly the Korean BBQ beef ramen.
"If you're hungry and in Leeds' downtown and want something satisfying, flavourful, and in a reasonable portion that's not fancy but also not quick food, you've come to the correct place!
The store is lovely to be in and has a clean, organised feel.
Employees are polite and helpful.
Meals: A perfect ten. It's all perfect—the chicken and rice!
Mokii: the pink ones in particular are like nothing from heaven!
Costs: affordable for anyone!"

"The cashier was unhelpful and had an attitude. I asked if the sushi was cooked or raw, and she coldly replied, “I don’t know,” with an unfriendly look. There’s a sign saying staff are happy to help, but that clearly wasn’t the case. The atmosphere inside was also too warm and stuffy. I won’t be coming back."

"Salmon Poke bowl was delicious. I ate in for this and it was nice. The temperature of the food was perfect. I went back again this time for delivery but unfortunately the salmon poke bowl wasn't available this time. The website recommended Korean BBQ beef ramen and stated it was popular. I was very disappointed with it. There were probably 5 slim pieces of beef in the whole dish. I wouldn’t get this one again. The sushi was nice though which my daughter had."

I’m not sure if this one technically counts because as you can see, I usually get the sushi to take out. However, I make the rules I break the rules and (though I think they might have Wasabi everywhere?) I think it’s worth mentioning based on the face the allergen labelling is good. Each packet or box of sushi is labelled up with allergens which really helps.
