Just one word: amazing. Definitely not the usual place you’d expect, simple yet upscale in quality.

I had the seaweed salad and miso grilled sea bass here. Both dishes were delicious. Moreover, the waitress was one of the most attentive wait staff I have ever met.

A great local shop with a huge variety to choose from. There’s not many places around southeast London where you can get such quality sushi for such a reasonable price. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the ambiance is great for a casual meal or a special event. A great restaurant to make part of your regular routine if you’re a fan of Japanese food. Another big differentiator for me was the care that they took in the food preparation after telling them about my seafood allergy. I’m often wary of the food preparation/sanitation conditions when eating at any type of Asian cuisine as they use fish and shellfish so heavily in their dishes, but I didn’t feel at all worried at WaWa. I can highly recommend the Aubergine/tomato/avocado inside-out maki roll and be sure to try the katsu burger with Ramen nests as buns if you’re in the mood for something a bit wacky!

Melted salmon is to die for. Some of the best sushi we’ve ever had! The staff were very helpful and knowledgable too. If you’re in the London Bridge area and fancy some top quality Japanese food, look no further.

If you’re looking for a top notch sushi fix in London, this is the place to go. The ambience is warm and welcoming, and the communal tables add a nice touch. I thought the prices were fairly decent, as I could basically taste the freshness and high quality of fish. I recommend the spicy tuna roll(not too spicy, just gives a slight kick) and gyoza combo for lunch. The service is also very accommodating and adds to the overall great experience I had. I will definitely be back to try the highly-recommended ramen burger.

Wawa is the japanese place to visit when you’re in the London Bridge /Tower Bridge area. It’s a simple, comfortable and delicious place to visit for either a quick lunch or a full dinner. And has a unique speciality: the ramen burger. DISHES Wawa has a small selection of warm and classic sushi dishes: it doesn’t compete on quantity, but quality at a good price. You can find the classic sushi rolls together with some unique ones(like the salmon crunchy salmon or the melting salmon, my favourites) and also warm dishes like the katsu curry. Their specialty is the ramen burger: a crisping angus beef burger with wasabi and mayo… with a «bun» made of ramen. AMBIENTANDSERVICE The place tends to be more full at lunch than dinner, but overall I always found a place to sit without any queue. The place is simple, but well curated. Wooden tables are used all across the room, and you can choose alternatively tables with chairs or long tables with benches, perfect for parties. During the day it has a great natural light, while at night a good soft incandescent light. The service is really good and very kind, which is something that surely adds to the place. If you crave japanese food south of the Thames, this is the place to go.

So places like Wawa are why I started Unilocaling. It’s a small neighborhood joint that may not get much foot traffic but tries hard to deliver a good meal. In my opinion, it’s a great addition to the area and I’d like to see it succeed(in part so it can continue to feed me). Don’t let my 3 stars fool you — I’m quite stingy with my stars. Now, back to Wawa — it’s actually quite a pretty place particularly if there’s sunlight. Other than a few hightops, the seating is on long benches which probably leads to communal dining. I would suggest going with a group. As for the food, I enjoy the cooked food better than the sushi or maki rolls. I’m a little particular about my raw fish and super particular about my rice. Side note about the rice: you have to pay for it as a side when you order something like salmon teriyaki(my favorite menu item here); not cool. In fact, overall the prices are a little high across the board throughout the menu which I try to take in stride for a little independent restaurant like this. I’ve tried the chicken skewers which were good and the katsu burger which was not as good as I hoped it to be. I’m planning on trying the ramen next… Which reminds me — I should plan my next visit here. Oh, Wawa also has a variety of beer(including Tiger) and sake(both cold and hot).

Friendly people and phenomenally fresh sushi and sashimi. The best anywhere near the area by miles. Consistently high quality also.

Big fat meh. Coming from New York, this place doesn’t have the selection of items I normally expect from a Sushi restaurant. The food was decent, especially the seared beef with sun-dried tomatoes. But, honestly, I don’t know what I’d order next if I came back.

Who’s a sushi fan? This girl! Wawa’s an interesting place, a quiet little sushi restaurant in Tower Bridge. It’s never very busy when I see it but I think, unjustly so. I ordered the katsu burger. Why? A burger in a Japanese restaurant — I just had to do it. i was a bit dubious when they described it, it’s a burger coated in breadcrumbs(did they steal this from the Scottish?) and deepfried. But they explained that this coating keeps the burger extremely moist and it was. With a wasabi mayo and ciabatta bun, it was a really solid burger. My companion’s seabass sashimi was beautifully presented and the sushi rolls definitely hit the spot. Wawa has some really friendly and attentive staff, they kept refilling our green tea and didn’t try to get us to leave when we were finished. If you’re in the area, it’s definitely a good choice.

My companion insisted that he wasn’t hungry when I suggested lunch, but that all changed when he caught sight of Wawa. To be fair we only popped in for a bite of sushi, but once we eyed the menu it was clear that it would be our duty to sample the delicious sounding mains. We opted for salmon maki rolls to share. I ordered a katsu burger, wondering how a fastidious Japanese chef would prepare it, while my «not hungry» companion went for beef ramen. All were delectable. The burger was juicy, tender and flavoursome, which was a weirdly good counterpoint to the fresh and delicate salmon rolls. They have fantastic crockery and friendly attentive service. Mains are around £10, which is excellent value given the high quality and attention to detail. Tata Wawa — until soon!
