Wowzers! The Wasabi Bistro was rated second on the top sushi restaurants in Seattle and is supposedly a good place to try sushi for newcomers. For this reason, we chose Wasabi Bistro for our dinner with friends.
Wasabi Bistro, located in trendy Belltown, is clearly a place to see and be seen. The modernist decor and brightly lit dining area can make one feel on display, and I was glad I had dressed up, even in casual Seattle.

Wowzers! The Wasabi Bistro was rated second on the top sushi restaurants in Seattle and is supposedly a good place to try sushi for newcomers. For this reason, we chose Wasabi Bistro for our dinner with friends.
Wasabi Bistro, located in trendy Belltown, is clearly a place to see and be seen. The modernist decor and brightly lit dining area can make one feel on display, and I was glad I had dressed up, even in casual Seattle.
The menu featured some very creative fusion dishes as well as sushi. The non-sushi eater chose ginger chicken and was very delighted. We, of course, ordered a platter of creative makimono and sushi. If you are avoiding cream cheese, your choices will be limited. The caterpillar roll was quite amazing.
Wasabi Bistro has sockeye salmon sashimi. Sockeye salmon tastes different, perhaps better, than regular salmon sashimi. Above all else, I recommend that diners try this dish. Sockeye salmon is not readily available on the east coast.
Wasabi Bistro also has a long list of martinis and mixed drinks. I imagine they do a good business at the bar.
The service was very prompt - nothing to complain about here.
Reservations are recommended, as the waits are long. We were so glad that we had called in our reservation, as we were whisked past the line of would-be diners. We were, however, able to get a same-day reservation for a Sunday night on a holiday weekend.
