My husband and I frequent Wasabi Sushi Bistro. The service is great. We are both vegans and the waitress we always have when we go there has been SO informative and the chefs are very accommodating.
The food is amazing - some of the best sushi rice in the city (moist and light). We always have the sushi rolls - the avocado and shitake are our favourites. Their green salad is wonderful too.
The atmosphere is very nice, especially when dimly lit in the evening - nice view of the bustle of Osborne Street as well. -

I came to this restaurant to try out one dish, the seared tuna in honey plum sauce. To be honest that's the best rendition of seared tuna as it also had some tempura crust, it made my taste buds do somersaults. The service is great, but the I don't like the dark ambiance.
Unfortunately, that dish is ridiculously expensive (though I didn't see the price of this one as my wife was hiding it from me so I won't get too shocked), and their other dishes are quite expensive as well.
I had their Beni Chiraishi which is basically smoked salmon (or at least it tasted like smoked salmon) on a bed of rice. However, for the price I paid ($16 + taxes) and only getting "bleh don't really want to eat this" salad and "it's just normal" miso soup, I think it is very much a rip off.
I would still go there for the tuna, just like I would still go to Chung King @ Markham for their Crispy Beef as this is the only place I know that makes such a dish. Otherwise, it's not worth it. -

I went here sort of on a whim with a friend the other week due to extreme hunger, and I'm very glad we did.
It's only slightly more expensive than what I'm used to paying for sushi but it's not even a big deal because it is so yummy. They also have a pretty large variety of rolls and a full bar!
One of my favourite things about this place though is the atmosphere. You don't walk into many restaurants with an orange theme that can pull it off.
There isn't really much more to elaborate on. If you like sushi, you'll like this place.Listed in: Winterpeg

My sister and I make it a tradition to eat here at least once on every visit I make home to the 'peg. Fish is always fresh and interesting rolls are plentiful. Our staple is pizza sushi and shitake mushroom tempura. Yummy!!

I'd give this place 2.5 stars - the sushi was not very good but I liked the ambiance at the Osbourne location. I think the sushi at Wasabi on Broadway and and Wasabi Sabi are of much better quality. Here, the tuna nachos ($14 for 6 pieces) were drenched in mayo which masked the taste of the tuna and was missing some acid to balance the taste - a huge disappointment as this is a fav dish of mine. The sweet beet roll (veggie roll) should've been called the cream cheese roll as that's all you tasted instead of the star ingredient. The other rolls were decent and fresh but not great.
I'm not sure why this place charges extra for ginger and wasabi as other sushi restaurants offer it for free?
But I do like the casual loungy atmosphere here - it's way less snobby than the two sister restaurants. The servers here are effective but don't seem to be as well trained as the other places but they also offer less attitude so that's fine with me since I know what to order. -

This was the very first place I tried sushi many years ago when I lived in Winnipeg. Whenever I come back for a visit it is a must to go to Wasabi! My favorite non traditional very westernized roll is the volcano roll; probably mostly because it was the very first roll my sister convinced me to try many years ago :) The expense is a bit more than the typical place but overall it has been worth it! They have a screened in patio, regular tables, as well as upstairs the ones you sit on the floor with your feet under the table. Would recommend trying at least once if you're ever visiting Winnipeg.
