Editorial Review for Wasabi Bistro – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
Think modern sushi house, just out of the box: polished wood tables, washed lighting and young, helpful servers in black. With plenty of seating space and a dramatic lounge area, it's an ideal spot for appetizers and cocktails before a night out in Belltown. The staff knows what's freshest, so listen to their suggestions.
The Food
Purists beware: Wasabi's sushi is not really about raw fish. This is sushi for people who might not even like sushi. Among the 22 specialty rolls, cream cheese, mayonnaise and avocado are used with abandon--and to surprisingly pleasing effect. Take the Belltown roll, filled with seafood salad, mayo and cucumber. The Las Vegas roll is filled with roast eel, crab, avocado and cream cheese. Best is the Caterpillar roll--eel and avocado topped with mouth-tickling roe. Among the Japanese entrees, the strongest is sea bass, marinated in Kasuzuke and expertly roasted to medium-rare.

I had a really great experience at The Wasabi Bistro this past weekend. I brought my family who I had not seen in quite a while. The staff was so friendly that they broke the ice. From the management to the servers , they were all perfect. They are all very professional but know what to say at the right time. Not to mention the service was great. The sushi wowed my family and I'll be back as soon as I can. I will always be thankful for that night.
Pros: customer service, sushi, ambiance
Cons: none

It's like this, I go every where in this town to eat sushi and nothing compares to the Wasabi Bistro. I keep coming back because of the consistency of everything from the food to the service. I'm there about 5 or 6 times a month and the staff treats me better there than anywhere else I go by far. This place is so unbelieveably busy and they are always friendly and attentive. I've given other places in the Bell Town area more than enough chances and the service is always disappointing. There is one place specifically that I know is considered somewhat of a rival of Wasabi Bistro, I'll just say it starts with a U, I've been there four times and the servers have always been ridiculously bad. Don't even try it. At Wasabi I recall getting OK service once but every other time has been really good. I love the rolls, gotta try the tarantula! The last time I was there was last weekend. I tried a special martini with sake that was amazing. I can't remember the name of it though. The waitress was beautiful along with the presentation of the sushi. I just think they've got it there and most people I know agree.
Pros: service, rolls,presentation
Cons: occaisonal wait
