Fresh poke bowls and sushi burritos? Sign us up.
Tried and trusted Japanese sushi bar, Waki Maki, has just opened their second site right here in Leeds city centre.
They’ve been serving students and locals alike over at the university campus for quite some time now, so we’re absolutely chuffed that they’ve opened in Wellington Place.
Famed for their poke bowls, such as the ‘Signature Salmon’, and ‘House Chicken’, or the ‘Deep Fried Tofu’ for veggies and vegans, it’s the perfect spot for a grab-and-go lunch that feels fresh and healthy.
And if you’re wondering what a sushi burrito is, then it’s exactly what it sounds like. A huge sushi roll made fresh to order and stuffed with all the fillings.
We’re talking fresh salmon, spicy tuna, crab, avocado as well as crispy onions, cucumber and lashings of sauce.
Yuzu mayo, sriracha mayo, soy sauce, sweet chilli, ponzu, katsu mayo – the saucier, the better.
Everything is so colourful and fresh, it almost looks too good to eat. Emphasis on the word almost.
They also serve up hot food such as crunchy chicken katsu with fragrant curry sauce, perfect for when the weather gets that bit cooler.
The prices are super affordable too, with a poke bowl costing £8 and a half burrito costing just £4.
Everything is completely customisable so you can choose whatever you please, with toppings like edamame beans, seaweed, pickled ginger, carrots – trust us, the options are truly endless.
They’re open on Wellington Place now so get yourselves down there and show Waki Maki some love.
