WAGAMAMA ST ALBANS REVIEWS

Okay, giving 5 stars to Wagamama, especially when considering the bustling restaurant scene in St Albans, might seem a bit excessive. However, our experience of struggling to find a table in any city centre restaurant really made us value this place even more. It’s casual, the food is consistently good with new dishes to try each time, and its central location is a plus. Not to forget, my Shu’s Shiok Chicken Donburi was delicious.

Absolutely amazing service, right from our arrival. The team were on hand when my dad was choking and very fast at getting a glass of water. My daughter's 17th birthday celebrations last week and I couldnt have hoped for a better service.

Took my daughter for her 17th birthday with family and found the staff very welcoming and helpful. Their service was professional aswell as polite, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very calm, plenty of seating.

SUSHIMANIA REVIEWS

Only my favorite sushi place. St. Albans one has the best atmosphere in my opinion out of all the other Sushimanias in England. I always go for the all you can eat option when I get my pay check. Staff are nice but don’t expect fine dining level of service. They have a wide selection of food and a reasonable time frame for you to finish. Freshness of the food can vary a lot and is not so consistent, but that is Sushimania in general.

Alright it’s a buffet style Japanese restaurant but also does ala carte. I was craving Japanese food so much and this place satisfies my craving! Although the sashimi were limited to 3 portions per person so in total I can only order 6 times for two of us. With the size of the sashimi cut I guess it is alright to justify this. Quite nice place to eat. Do come over when you are around St Albans area.

Loved it here. Slick service, clean space, delicious all you can eat sushi (one of many options for dining), fast and fresh food... Can't ask for much more really. Will be back.

ITSU ST ALBANS REVIEWS

We stumbled here by chance never been to itsu but always walked past it, food was presentable , shop was clean inside, and the service was good, our daughter even enjoyed the food being it our first time ever trying this. Probably will visit another chain when we’re in London next week.

Lots of ordering stations which are easy to navigate. Service is incredibly quick as all the food is somewhat prepared earlier. Not much service other then to call you to collect your food. Good range of condiments and utensils suitable for a range of uses. Ample seating and lively atmosphere.

The best place to eat in St Albans if you are looking for fast, friendly service and good food. They always put customers first. Highly recommend.
