| - One side note...This is dated December of 2010. I have no idea when I originally went and wrote this, but it's been over a year! I don't even know why I didn't post it the night I wrote it!!
I finally made it to Fresh Wasabi, at 67th Ave and Bell. My jones for sushi is (briefly) sated. It'll be back before tomorrow night, but it's gone for now. I've been hearing about this place since it was called The Sushi. And I can see why, now. The menu of special rolls was tantalizing, and I may have to make regular treks there to work my way through. I kept it simple, ordering nigiri of hamachi, halibut and unagi. The slices topping the nigiri were 30% larger than any I'd gotten anywhere else. The hamachi, as I've always found, was delectible, as was the unagi. I had never had halibut nigiri or sashimi, and it was...transparent. Virtually no flavor that I could notice. But that's OK. Works for me. I'll try it again.
We got crispy california rolls and Lobster rolls, both wonderful. Cali rolls seemed a bit chunkier than I have gotten used to...seemed like they use slightly larger portions. I may be misremembering, cuz it's been too long, but, who knows.
Anyway, seems like the dozens of good reviews and the handful of raves from people I've talked to about Fresh Wasabi are spot on.
As a final note, they were kind of busy for a Saturday mid afternoon, and the wait was kind of long. The lone waitress was attentive and didn't seem harried, and when we were done, the lone chef apologized for the wait. Splendid, on their parts. I was pretty generous with my tip, so they'd know. If I win the lottery, I'll eat there every meal all summer!
