Wasabi Bistro (Belltown)

2311 Second Ave
Seattle, WA 98121
(206) 441-6044
Website

Wasabi Bistro has been serving good (if not outstanding) sushi in its sleek Belltown spot for approximately forever. It's the kind of place that has lots of elaborate rolls and generic house music that starts playing when you go to its website.

Who thought "WASABI" was a good business name?

The trendy guys who own it. Packed wall-to-wall with pseudo-hipsters looking for something else in the downtown area on a night out, Wasabi is the epitome of 80s' money slamming up against 2008 entitlement. And the chefs aren't far off. An assortment of salmon and salad, nigiri and rolls came out in the $50 range and tasted fairly similar to assembly-line QFC sushi in a side-by-side. Either that QFC fish was done right, or the Wasabi Bistro's pulling less-than-fresh off the docks. The service accompanying said sushi was as limp as the octopus - hurried, rushed, arrogant, snippy, and less than professional. Even the actual WASABI - the creamy green treat that would make even the worst sushi palatable - was apparently squeezed from a tin and powdered by hand. It's a shame food doesn't have a return policy - had I a receipt, I might have returned the recycled sushi in the airplane bag I retched in two hours later and asked, wasabi-faced, for a refund.

Oh Yeah!

This place is phenominal. The sushi was fresh and the service was superb. I was there on an extremely busy friday night and they totally lived up to the hype.

I Agree

with CLOYING. This is place s u c k s!! I went because everyone talks about it and even theh stranger recommends it. Service is super-attentive??? umm.... it seamed like I was waiting for service the entire time. Maybe I went on a bad night, but my experience here was not very pleasent to say the very least.

I love their deep fried seattle roll. yeah there's a special word for that... whatever, food snob. it's deeeep fried and goood. AND the beers are in HUGE glasses! yeah, a little pricey- so better catch the happy hour. i've been there about 5 times and always thought the food was yummy. so, THERE.

why?

Everything seems three days old and mediocre here. Belltown girls seem to love it here, they order rolls filled with odd ingredients and never the fish so they don't seem to get that it isn't a high quality place. Ohwell. This is a great place to go to understand mediocrity.
