Fair enough, this isn’t really Waterloo, but a bit of a walk on your lunch is a good thing right? Cross the river over the Hungerford Bridge, go through Embankment station and you will find that on your left is a sushi take away place and on your right a very conveniently located, very serene park. Smashing combo or what?

Wasabi makes individually wrapped pieces of sushi, for you to combine in a box according to your tastes and take away with you. They also serve warm food, but to be honest I have never tried any of it. Smells like lots of MSG, so I am sure it is really tasty.

Since the sushi is of the mass produced kind and wrapped individually in cling film the sushi aficionados probably find this place appalling but I say there are few lunches as nice as the ones spent in a park with some finger food spiced up with really hot wasabi paste, pickled ginger and soy sauce.

They also sell bottled green tea, a great thirst quencher on a really hot day.

Suggested by Anders, thank you very much! Anders lives in Bordeaux, we certainly pull them in from afar!

    Don’t expect a chef to shout “Irrashai!” when you enter and omakase is unheard of. But for cheap and good take-away sushi, this place rocks.

    Good, cheap, fast sushi, and in summer it can be lovingly unwrapped and devoured in the park by Embankment station. Why not sneak in to Gordon’s winebar and bring out a decent bottle of red to go with…

    I can highly recommend their Beef Teriyaki with steamed rice, tastes fantastic and it’s not that expensive either. The hot noodle soups are also really nice, especially if it’s a bit dull and cold outside.
