I have been looking for a new place for sushi ever since my beloved Kampai changed ownership and fell from grace. My brother and I made the mistake of watching Jiro Dreams of Sushi and knew we had to find an AUTHENTIC Japanese sushi bar to satisfy cravings the movie evoked.
After several hours of online research, we decided to try Fresh Wasabi at 6645 W Bell not to be confused with the location in Surprise which is not owned by Masa Kim. Tucked away in a little strip center next to Fry's we found a little piece of heaven.
We did Omakase and OMG it was amazing! We had hamachi, halibut fin, albacore, uni, squid, hawaiian tuna, hamachi kama and more. Everything was authentic, fresh, and absolutely delicious. To our delight it was happy hour (daily from 2-6pm) so we enjoyed large beers for only $4. Masa Kim advised us of his plans to remodel this location in the near future and also told us he recently opened Sushi Style in Moon Valley which we will be trying next...maybe even tonight. It was that good.
