My partner had the Sable fish and I had the chicken and it was amazing!! Will definitely go back to try some other entrees. The area we sat in just behind the kitchen was a bit dark but still nice. Our server was great but took awhile to get our bill. Overall a great restaurant and would highly recommend it!

Upscale and chic atmosphere offering more unique rolls than a typical sushi restaurant. Rolls were as delicious as they looked. Although more on the expensive side, each roll was eight large pieces. Helpful and friendly staff. Good spot for date night.

I ultimately gave this a 5 star, but there's caveats. I haven't been back there for awhile, so this is based on my most recent experience. Skip the sashimi and sushi pizza. The sashimi is ok, but it's pretty standard fish that you get with nothing really unique. The price for Sabi Sashimi is 45, and we received 17 pieces. The presentation is fine, but nothing out of the ordinary. The sushi pizza is filling, but there are much better things to order. The black garlic scallops, at 24 is pricey but they are jumbo scallops and taste fantastic. The marriage of black garlic and red grapefruit is beautiful. Its a high class dish. The veggie tortilla (15) was surprisingly good. Our server had recommended it saying it was beautiful, but it tasted equally fantastic. I'm not a huge veggie person myself, but this was done very well. Those two dishes would be the ones I would go back for. If anything I think I would crave the veggie tortilla which I was not expecting. The soft shell crab salad (20) had a very good salad component. The soft shell part was ok. It wasn't hot when we got it (it might have been meant to be served cold), but I felt that detracted. I ordered the lychee tea, which was nice for a change, as most Japanese restaurants just stock green tea (Sencha, bancha, etc) or genmai cha (The roasted rice tea). Service was very good. As I used to work in this field, I only found fault when they served the sashimi without explaining what each pieces was. I personally don't need it explained, but I feel like it should be a standard thing the server does (or at least ask whether we want it explained). They were very good with keeping our drinks topped up and with assisting us in making food choices.

Awesome place for high end sushi. Sit at counter and you can watch them make your rolls and chat up the chefs it's pretty awesome. Will make you any type of drink you want. Also will make a sushi if you like it a certain way. On a night or when you are not in a rush it's just soak it all in taste the flavor. If you live with a sushi nut( ugh gf) then you'll keep coming back. New style sashimi super tasty.

One of my favourite restaurants in Winnipeg. My partner and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary over the weekend at wasabi. We had a reservation and we were seated fairly quickly. The dining room and lounge have a very comforting modern feel. You can even sit at the sushi bar and watch the chefs do their magic! Once we arrived to our table, we went over the menu and ordered some of our favourites as well as some of the servers recommendations. We ordered the honey plum tuna, salmon carpaccio, truffle broccoli, mango prawns, as well as a couple sushi rolls. The plates are smaller portions. “Tapas like” Our plates arrived one after another. From the presentation to the flavours of each plate. Everything was superb. The honey plum tuna was the star for me. The tuna melted in your mouth and the sauce underneath accompanied the tuna perfectly. The two sushi rolls we ordered (crazy 88 and dynamite) were very fresh and tasty. Overall, the experience was great. The food is on the pricer side, but the quality, service and ambiance is worth it! We look forward to coming back soon!

This Japanese restaurant is fantastic! The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and I highly recommend trying the chef’s special rolls. While they are a bit pricier than the others, the flavor is outstanding, with more complex layers. The service is excellent—staff are polite, professional, and attentive without being overly intrusive. The overall atmosphere is elegant and the ambiance very pleasant. Highly recommend, and I will definitely be returning with my family!

Food was amazing. A big shoutout to Chef RJ for the amazing dishes. Edamame was bomb. Probably one of my favourite dishes we had. The flavouring on it was amazing. Ambiance and service was alright. The server didn’t seem to attentive and didn’t check up on us frequently.

Some of the best sushi I've ever had. The new style is very tasty and original. Not inexpensive, but exceptional quality.
