On Tuesday we took a quick 2 min bus ride up the quai to Place Stalingrad where the tiny WASABI CAFE sits and boasts some really super sushi. It is our friend Kim's favorite place to eat and after trying the new sushi place in our complex with her back in March, we realized that Wasabi is so superior! Just as an aside, the place in our complex runs totally on iPad orders and u can't really see how they make it or what you get. It is a set price for all you can eat--ALTHOUGH if you have leftovers, they charge you, even if you do not take it away!! We felt this was nuts. Many young people love it, and we all thought their sushi was bland and boring.
At Wasabi Cafe they have indoor and outdoor seating (not a sole was outside in the 100+ heat!) and a la carte or set menus. We decided to get the Menu Duo I which includes steamed edamame, 2 bowls of miso soup(we ordered one extra), 2 of their amazing cabbage salads (we ordered one extra) that has a wasabi vinaigrette that is loaded with flavor, PLUS a platter with 6 sushi, 6 sashimi, 6 maki and 6 California rolls. The piece de la resistance of the platter is the SPICY CRUNCH Roll which is surimi, avocado, cucumber all smothered with tiny fried onions in a spicy sauce! This was so good we ordered an extra which filled us to the brim! Food total cost 56Euros($65) + drinks.
FYI the place in our building has a flat fee of 28Euros each if I recall! Much better deal, much better food.
Tonight, we are trying the Greek place that opened up in our complex! Wish us luck!
