Sushi & bento
the Wasabi way

From market stall to
 sushi hall

After years working as a chef in Asia, our founder, Mr Kim sensed an opportunity to offer high quality sushi and flavourful hot bento meals to the UK. He started from a stall in Camden Market over 20 years ago, everything made with tasty, authentic ingredients. Today that passion for delicious Asian food remains, whether it’s served in our restaurants, or through our range of meals to enjoy at home or at work.

The mission was as simple then as it is today; to bring full on Asian flavour to everyone. Over ten years later, all that’s changed is a bigger, better range and a whole load more fans.

Sustainable sourcing

We understand that ‘full of Asian flavour’ must begin with our ingredients. We are always looking for ways to provide the tastiest dishes whilst also doing good with our suppliers and our planet. Some of the ways we do this are:

  • Increasing UK/EU sourcing
  • Partnering with Sedex where we actively work with our supply chain to enhance the transparency of our ingredients’ origins
  • Exclusively procure salmon from suppliers certified by the British Retail Consortium
  • All UK sourced meat is Red Tractor-certified
