Wasabi Japanese Restaurant And Sushi Bar

Go for the Tempura

We went on a Satarday night of a long weekend . We had to take a table next to the washroom door and it was very busy so our server was a little slow but we were not in a hurry so I didn't mind. Overall I enjoyed the food. The Shrimp Tempura was to die for! As a main course I ordered the Korean Chicken noodle thingy. Be Warned! It is very hot and it is mostly noodles with very little chicken. But I really like noodles so I didn't mind. Dh had shashimi and some more seafood dishes after. Sorry, I didn't pay to much attention to what he was eating as I hate anything that smells fishy! He really enjoyed his meal. I would recomend this restaurant but suggest reservations so you don't get stuck with a badly located table because thay have quite a few of them!

I've been to various sushi restaurants in Ontario and can say this was amongst the least favourite of mine. I was excited to go to Wasabi Japanese Restaurant because it looked like an upscale place from the outside (there was a wall waterfall and the coloured lighting made it look elegant). To my disappointment, it did not live up to its classy look. When our food arrived the presentation was absolutely stunning, however the taste was inexistent - how could something so beautiful taste like nothing? My friend and I ordered $65 worth of sushi. The only thing I enjoyed was my Cola which was served in an over-sized glass cup. I will never go back again and urge others to find a better tasting sushi place in Ottawa.

Immitation Japanese food? I think so. Horrible...

Immitation Japanese food? I think so. Horrible place. This restaurant should not be operating. The waitress forgot our order so the food came to us 45 minutes later, cold! Not to mention that it's over-priced. We ordered softshell crab and the waitress asked "Tonkatsu style or temputer style" WHAT IS THAT? can't they just deep fry it the proper way? It tasted like deep fried ROCKS, none the less. The only thing that was actually decent were the drinks. I do not recommend this restaurants for first timers-you will get the wrong impression of Japanese food!

Great Food, Great Atmosphere

Server was prompt. Restaurant clean and great atmosphere, warm and not too loud. Sushi was fresh and tasty. Would go again.

I have been to this restaurant countless...

I have been to this restaurant countless times...enough so, that the owners know us by name. This is a great restaurant. The decor is simple, yet elegant, Intimate, warm and a very friendly environment. Although you should make reservations for larger groups, it is easy to walk-in. Considering this restaurant is in the middle of the continent the food is always fresh because of the high turn over. Have a suggestion for your own dish, just tell your server...they will be more than happy to accomadate if they have the ingrediants. Many other restaurants of the sort in Ottawa WILL NOT accomadate special orders like this restaurant will. Excellent Alfred & Staff!!! See you again real soon.
