Food: Seafood worth the splash

Blow your tastebuds out of the water with their top-rated Premium Sashimi, praised for its freshness and generous cuts.

Creative, tasteful, fresh, and generous - Wazabi sushi exudes all these qualities in its culinary exploits.

  • Great Value

    Happy hour specials provide great value for excellent quality food.

  • Okay Quality

    While mostly fresh and high-quality, some inconsistency in freshness.

Vibe: Compressed ambiance, letdown drinks

Expect to dine within arm’s length of your neighbours due to the somewhat tight seating. The music may tend to be a bit more boisterous than you'd expect. Unfortunately, the drinks may let you down more often than not, perhaps a symptom of mismatched expectations. The restaurant's location in a rundown strip mall doesn't exactly scream trendy.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Somewhat tight, bright lighting, and loud music were seen as negatives.

Perks: Invigorating service, vexing parking

Wazabi stands out with top-notch attentive service, creating a sense of value despite potentially fighting for a cramped parking space or navigating a small and loud space. Additionally, the restaurant is not particularly child-friendly, compromising tightly-packed dining during the family outings. Yet, customers find themselves feeling genuinely cared for, which significantly bolsters the overall experience.

  • Great Service

    Wonderfully attentive service, making customers feel important and cared for.

  • Hard To Hear

    Small, loud space challenges ambiance, not ideal for intimate settings.
