Advantages: Modern interior, but who cares as this is take-away.
Disadvantages: Salty tasteless food, Very expensive for that category
There are 4 types of restaurants.
1. Survive on presentation of food and interiors
2. Rely on Good food
3. Neither pays attention to food nor its presentation
4. Gets food quality and presentation right.
I put wasabi in first category.
Presentation :
=========
The presentation of food item is very good. With chick modern interior and very responsive staff, it looks like take-away version of Wagamama.
Food :
====
Only time I had worse food than this was in some curry house in Fort William, Scotland. Wasabi was second worst !!
I visited Wasabi take-away in Canary Wharf and ordered some noodles and tofu-curry. I thought it is pick-and-mix for £4. But they charged me £4 for noodles and another £4 for spoon of tofu curry. I think this is very expensive for a take-away.
The noodles were like rubber and I could not eat them. Tofu curry was like ready made mashroom curry from Tesco with very salty and strong taste. I had to throw the whole content in to the bin and went next door in Pret to get some sandwiches.
Not sure what their focus of the business is, but they got the location right. As lots of overpaid bankers queue up to eat this kind of food just because it is the most expensive type and it looks cool to carry wasabi take-away.
Summary: Avoid this one at any cost.

- 21/01/09 You are right. This should be moved. I raised request for restaurant under "National / Food" category, but did not notice that Wasabi was added in "Online shop" category. Well spotted. |

- 08/01/09 I have asked for this to be moved as I am not convinced it's in the right category despite you talking about takeaway. This section is more for the website I think. |
