Sushi Wasabi - Edmonton

The Wasabi may not be the largest, but it certainly is the best. With the freshest fish in the city, a quiet atmosphere, and excellent service, dining here feels like being at home eating homemade food. The prices are reasonable and tend to surprise many diners. Make sure to check their hours as they are not always open. They also serve Japanese food at the Devonian Festival. Enjoy!

Let's talk about something to chew on. If you had the choice (hopefully not as your final request on death row), what would you pick as your ultimate meal? Or on a lighter note, what's one dish you could eat every single day? I usually get bored of eating the same thing over and over, but there's one exception to that rule. By now, you've probably figured out the answer based on the restaurant we're discussing today.

Wasabi in Edmonton is still the best for sushi, hands down. My top 5 favorites are the Salmon roe, chop chop, spot prawn, freshwater eel, and toro. Chop chop is always good, and the Salmon roe bursts with sweetness in your mouth. Spot prawn is a must-try, avoid the small shrimp sushi. The freshwater eel has amazing flavor, especially when grilled. Toro is my go-to and the best at Wasabi, so much flavor in the fat. I had to get a second plate because the sushi was too good. The regular meguro tuna, seawater eel, and mackerel were all delicious. Wasabi is a longstanding favorite in Edmonton, always packed for dinner. Expect good food, just be prepared for slower service.

I've visited Sushi Wasabi in the past, way before I even had a single review. So I thought it was time to pay them a well deserved visit. Location hasn't changed much; cute little strip mall locale and still Japanese owned and operated. This place is super cozy with a rather small sushi bar. Only gripe I have is that the table seatings are a tad too close. I got super lucky at around 7:15pm on Saturday to get a table in less then 15mins. All the servers here are super pleasant and very attentive. <br/ <br/ My girlfriend and I were starving so we wasted no time going through their menu. We started off with their Beef Tataki and that was spectacular. Perfect sear on the outside and their ponzu is super light. And they definitely don't skimp on the meat slices, they loaded our plate up. Next was 14pcs of Assorted Sashimi. The quality of their fish is simply superb. The octopus (tako) was super tender, along with the salmon, yellowtail and the tuna that melts in your mouth. <br/ <br/ I got their Wasabi Combination which comes with 28pcs including Eel (unagi), Tuna Belly (toro), Chop Chop, 6pcs of avocado shiitake roll and shrimp asparagus. Salmon, tuna, tako and yellowtail make another return for our Nigiri. All the pieces were made beautifully. Their chop chop lacked masago but was nonetheless delicious. And their Unagi literally melts and becomes one with the rice as soon as you put it in your mouth. Their rice is really something; perfectly seasoned. Slightly warm and sweet from the rice vinegar. Me and my girlfriend have a special love for Uni (Sea Urchin) and we ordered 4pcs to finish off our meal. Probably the best bites of Uni I've had in Edmonton at least. Perfectly umami and creamy with the rice, it's a pure mouthgasm. Worth the price of $5.50 per piece. <br/ <br/ Sushi Wasabi is by far one of the best places to go to get amazing quality sushi in Edmonton. It's atmosphere is warm friendly. I just might have to make a few more visits in the near future.

Yum yum. My go to Japanese food place in Edmonton. The rice itself is perfection. Each individual grain is evident and you can tell the sushi was made with great hands. The sashimi is fresh and worth the price every visit.
