Ordered THE most expensive item on the menu and shared it eith my companion. Seafood platter easily 10-14 different types of seafood, including fried amaebi shrimp heads. Amazingly great. Good saki, great service, and a great special dessert. Great meal! Great bar! Great evening!
This was our third visit to Wasabi and once again the food was amazing. We are very preticular on service as most places it's deplorable BUT we had the most wonderful experience and our server could not have made the experience any better. Would recommend Wasabi to anyone.
The Swizzle Styx dined here last week and it was excellent. I forgot to take pictures but everything we had was great and the service was quite good. It is a bit pricier than a lot of sushi places but you can feel and taste the quality in the food and service. We will be back.
Wasabi Sabi on Taylor (next to La Grotta) is quite nice and it is very elegant. This place reminded me of walking into a high class restaurant in Las Vegas. I felt underdressed when I was here on a casual dinner date with a friend.
The service was excellent. I was offered coat check when I walked in the door during my visit in Dec.
The restaurant serves a number of speciality rolls, a selection of sashimis, wagyu beef, and other hot dishes. The price is on the higher end in comparison to other sushi places in town, however, the food was very good.
During my visit, I had the vegetables tempura, rainbow roll, sabi mushroom roll and truf e veggie roll. Of all, I enjoyed the sabi mushroom and the rainbow rolls the most.
I would highly recommend Wasabi Sabi to all. If you're looking for an elegant sushi restaurant in town, this is the place to check out.
Our top 5 favourite sushi restaurants in Winnipeg. It is not busy so the service is pretty fast and excellent. Happy hour from Monday to Friday, 3:00-5:30pm with $5, $12 menu and $1 Oysters (with minimum order of $15 before taxes per person, orders of 6.)
So their happy hour prices are great but the portion is a little bit smaller than wasabi on broadway.
I have been here twice so far with my boyfriend. The food there is amazing. I have had many different rolls and every single one has been great. The tuna nachos are amazing as well! Service is also great
Came here for lunch last week with my husband. He had only visited the wasabi in Osborne, and me, I had never been to wasabi. So we figured we'd give this location a try.
Went there around 3ish and it wasn't busy. It was also happy hour prices which is always nice.
Ordered the following:
Happy hour:
- 2 orders of gomae
- 1 crazy 88 roll and tuna roll
- new style sashimi
The gomae was good. The crazy 88 roll was good as well as the tuna roll. Nothing too too amazing on those two rolls but still good.
The new style sashimi was good but the hubby and I both were in agreement we prefer regular sashimi. The new style is thinly sliced salmon and tuna lightly seared with oil drizzled on top, green onion and I believe their house sauce or a special sauce. It was good, but the we prefer reg. sashimi.
We also ordered the bobbymar roll which is a little on the pricier side ($25 I believe), but it was very tasty.
You can tell the quality is there.
The menu didn't show the typical rolls you'd find at other sushi places (ie:Alaska roll, bakudan roll, salmon avocado etc..). But you can still order these rolls which range from $5-$8.
We ordered an extra salmon avocado roll which was tasty with bigger pieces of salmon compared to other places. Quality was there as well.
Our server was very friendly. She was also very helpful and attentive. She also gave us a free birthday ice cream which was a great finish to our meal. We chose mango, and the sesame ice cream on her recommendation which had fruit (pineapple, strawberry and dragon fruit as well). The presentation was pretty :). The sesame ice cream was awesome and comparable to peanut butter ice cream as our server mentioned.
Overall I would definitely come back here. Happy hour prices - can't go wrong. Service was great!
It's a little more expensive but the quality and atmosphere was great. I would go back.
We are Japanese cuisine lovers! During our travels to Hong Kong, Japan, British Columbia, Toronto, we look for the best Japanese food.
Wasabi taylor and Yujiro are our top two Japanese restaurants in Winnipeg.
What stands out is their purchase of quality ingredients. For example, salmon sashimi here is a much higher grade. The texture and taste are different than sashimi from sushi hon, sushi N, sushi Ai, sushi cushi, Bimi, Naru sushi, etc.
Additionally, authenticity of Japanese cuisine is maintained with a hint of fusion.
We ordered appetizers, special rolls, wagu beef nigiri (must try!), and assorted nigiri. Nothing was over the top and weird.
Negatives of our meal:
1) Wagu beef on nigiri was not as good as the ones we've had at Miku restaurant in BC. The beef had some very chewy parts which took away the texture and 'melt in your mouth' experience wagu beef should provide.
2) sunomono salad was sub par. Translucent noodles were soggy. Octopus slices weren't very fresh.
3) great quality Japanese food for Winnipeg but still lots of room for improvement when compared to top Japanese restaurants in big cities
Don't visit Wasabi if you want "pound it out" "fill me up" sushi- big slices of mediocre sashimi on lots of rice, big rolls, sloppy making of sushi and plating, etc.
We were full and content after our meal with the cost of $120. Expensive indeed, however a treat to high quality Japanese food in Winnipeg once or twice a year until we travel is justifiable to us.
Whether we frequent the restaurant, or order through Skip the Dishes, Wasabi Sabi never disappoints. We almost always have the Sushi Tortilla and Will-San roll and then throw in sashimi or try a new roll depending on our appetite (for 2 people). Fish is always fresh, rice is the perfect consistency and the citrusy sauce on the sushi tortilla is to die for. Always very well done! Pricier, but you get what you pay for.
Lots of Sushi places in town, and most are hit or miss, but this place was on point! Delicious Tempura Shrimp, and the Sake is deadly! Keep 'em coming! Will be back.
Went for lunch today. It was very nice inside the restaurant, especially the lounge area. They had a good lunch menu as well. The presentation was very nice, and their service was very good. Definitely will come back, recommended for a good date night.

The food at Wasabi Sabi is very good -- I especially like the Tuna sashimi and the lamb. I'm not a huge fan of sushi rolls but I enjoyed the ones we ordered and my guests thought they were delicious. Cocktail menu and wine list are interesting as well. A little pricey but the service is good and the atmosphere is great so well worth the money. I'd highly recommend them for a night out with friends or even a great date night.
Great service, nice atmosphere and food was delicious. The food was so well balanced and inventive, best sushi pizza I've ever had (the rice was so light). Red delight is a fun earthy vegetarian roll. Will definitely be back!
You’re not just looking for sushi.. you’re looking for phenomenal sushi right? Then look no further.
Wasabi Sabi is as great as it gets. When it comes to fresh sashimi, amazing service, and overall pleasant dining atmosphere, you need to check it out!
You get what you pay for...
This restaurant is expensive but worth every penny. Hands down it was the best sushi I've ever had. Unique flavors that complimented each other perfectly.
Will always come for a New Style roll and Spicy Mango Prawns when home. Other items I enjoy now that I'm stuck in Winnipeg are the spicy tuna nachos, the volcano roll, well torched with tempura crumbs, and The Henny God 2.0.

OhMyGoodness, It Was SO Yummy❣️Esp. After Thinking We Were Underdressed, The Menu Was Limited, With High Prices, As Well As Only A Half Glass Of Plum Wine Available - However, We Were Very Pleasantly Offered Off-The-Menu Items, Which Were ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS❣️
