The Wasabi is not the biggest, but is the best. Freshest fish in the city and quiet atmosphere with very good service. It' like being home and eating home made food. The prices are reasonable and surprise a lot of people. Check the hours as they are not always open. Serve Japanese food at the Devonian Festival. Enjoy
Here's food for thought. If you could choose (preferably not while on death row), what would your last meal be? Or for something less morbid, what's one food that you can eat for the rest of your life? I'm the type of person to get tired of eating just one thing really easily, but I guess there is one exception to that. You've probably already guessed the answer considering what restaurant we're talking about today.

Top 5, top 5, top 5, top 5
Wasabi still the GOAT in Edmonton for sushi. First plate has the Salmon roe, chop chop, spot prawn, freshwater eel, and toro. These are my top 5. Chop chop always good, probably the only sushi I like that creamy. Salmon roe always tasting sweet when they burst in your mouth. Hahaha. Spot prawn is something everyone should get. Don’t ever get the shitty small shrimp sushi. They are the worst. Freshwater eel (unagi) has such a good flavor and one of the only sushi I liked grilled up. Toro is my go to, and at Wasabi it’s the best. So much flavor in the fat. Fat is tasty all the time. Had to get a second plate cause sushi was too good. Got regular meguro tuna, a piece of seawater eel and mackerel. Seawater eel is less fatty than freshwater eel, also a little fluffier but it’s still aight. I sitll consider it the diet option of eel, a little bland, but still good. Mackerel is dope because it’s one of the sushi that has the skin on it and has that fishy smell and taste. Delicious stuff.
Wasabi might be one of the oldest places in Edmonton. Been going here since I was a kid and it’s still dope AF. It’s usually packed every night of the week for dinner so don’t expect fast service. Expect good food.

I've visited Sushi Wasabi in the past, way before I even had a single review. So I thought it was time to pay them a well deserved visit. Location hasn't changed much; cute little strip mall locale and still Japanese owned and operated. This place is super cozy with a rather small sushi bar. Only gripe I have is that the table seatings are a tad too close. I got super lucky at around 7:15pm on Saturday to get a table in less then 15mins. All the servers here are super pleasant and very attentive.
My girlfriend and I were starving so we wasted no time going through their menu. We started off with their Beef Tataki and that was spectacular. Perfect sear on the outside and their ponzu is super light. And they definitely don't skimp on the meat slices, they loaded our plate up. Next was 14pcs of Assorted Sashimi. The quality of their fish is simply superb. The octopus (tako) was super tender, along with the salmon, yellowtail and the tuna that melts in your mouth.
I got their Wasabi Combination which comes with 28pcs including Eel (unagi), Tuna Belly (toro), Chop Chop, 6pcs of avocado & shiitake roll and shrimp & asparagus. Salmon, tuna, tako and yellowtail make another return for our Nigiri. All the pieces were made beautifully. Their chop chop lacked masago but was nonetheless delicious. And their Unagi literally melts and becomes one with the rice as soon as you put it in your mouth. Their rice is really something; perfectly seasoned. Slightly warm and sweet from the rice vinegar. Me and my girlfriend have a special love for Uni (Sea Urchin) and we ordered 4pcs to finish off our meal. Probably the best bites of Uni I've had in Edmonton at least. Perfectly umami and creamy with the rice, it's a pure mouthgasm. Worth the price of $5.50 per piece.
Sushi Wasabi is by far one of the best places to go to get amazing quality sushi in Edmonton. It's atmosphere is warm & friendly. I just might have to make a few more visits in the near future.
Yum yum. My go to Japanese food place in Edmonton. The rice itself is perfection. Each individual grain is evident and you can tell the sushi was made with great hands. The sashimi is fresh and worth the price every visit.
Expensive, but good sushi always is. Typically a very special occasion place for me because of it, but this is without question as good as you can get for sushi in Edmonton. The place isn't too big, and almost always is packed so reservations are always recommended, even on a weekday. The service has always been prompt and friendly.

We were craving for Sushi on one of our Sunday Dinner meetups; not rolls or tapas but fresh slices of meaty fish on a bed of well prepped rice. Which led us to discover Sushi Wasabi, with incredibly high ratings. Just a few blocks away from Southgate, it’s in a well known little strip mall, in and around Sunterra Market and Quickly!
We got there just a little over an hour before they close, and the restaurant was still quite busy. The space is quite tight, with spacing maximized, and tables squished around every corner possible. Cozy to say the least. Service was attentive, and food came out quickly and smoothly throughout the whole service.
Beef Tataki ($15.00) 5/5 Seared and served with ponzu, the citrus lemon sauce was awesome. Didn’t overpower the actual taste of the beef and it was a hefty amount of pieces too!
Gyoza ($6.50) ⅖ Wasn’t crispy. somewhat soggy; room temperature at best.
Assorted Tempura ($15.00) ⅘ Hefty price tag, but what was given was crispy and batter was seasoned well!
Sushi Combination #8 ($68.00) 5/5 Worth the price on all levels, this alone would have made us satisfied. Tuna,Surf clam and the yellowtail were my favorite. Each piece of fish was a decent size and had a good fish to rice ratio!
Will be back to try more! The menu is quite extensive, and there were a lot of rolls that caught my eye. Beef tataki is a must, that dish alone would have me coming back for sure!
We are huge fans of this restaurant. The service is excellent, of course.
But the food is amazing. We have gone there at least 7-8 times and ordered different things each time. Each time, we have had excellent food.
Legit Japanese family run restaurant, the environment isn't great but the food is authentic, very few places serve aburi(seared) sushi, negitoro(tunabelly) sushi, and blue fin tuna. Price is expensive but worth a try if youre looking for authentic traditional.
Stopped for a sushi supper fix. We shared combo 5,6 yam tempura and gyoza. Our meal was prepared quickly,service was friendly, attentive and chatty and our meal was very good. Crisp tempura, big pieces of fish on the sushi and flavorful pork dumplings. This local, tiny, slightly worn, family operated, restaurant is a food find. Enjoyed our meal! Our next sushi craving will end with a stop here.
Best place for sushi in Edmonton hands down! Perfectly cooked and seasoned sushi rice, freshest quality fish you’ll get in the city, the toro (and salmon belly too) is buttery and mouth watering. We always get the beef tataki, nigiri, and a few rolls: shrimp tempura roll, avocado shiitake roll, small California, and negitoro. Everything is delicious. We do takeout often but love that they’re back open for dine in!
The menu seems more simple and traditional than the usual Japanese restaurants in the city. Service is great; their kitchen is small and the chefs seem to be careful so it's not rushed. It is a very small restaurant (maybe 5 tables), so reservations are highly recommended.
One of the favorite Japanese restaurants in town. It's a busy place . Their rice is perfect cooked and flavored. The sashimi is very fresh and great size.
Got supper for my fiance here. She absolutely loved it! Said it was among the best sushi she had ever ate (in Canada). Will definitely be going back.
So friendly and very delicious.
The sashimi is fresh, sushi is tasty and the rolls are put together well! I especially love the rice they use, it's a perfect combo in a roll or with a nice slice of fish on top. Service is quick and very friendly. Highly recommend reservations as it's tough to get a table during the evening.
