Our go-to sushi place. Fresh, tasty, delish. Near Porter in a spot that has been somewhat cursed with rotating restaurants. We want this one to stay so try it!
Wasabi has the best and freshest sushi in the Davis/Porter square area. This has quickly become one of my favorite spots for low key date nights. Generous fish portion sizes and friendly staff make every visit a pleasure. The sushi deluxe combo is my go – to and is a bargain.
Wasabi knows what’s up.I usually avoid eating out alone, but Wasabi’s high quality food and comfortable dining experience tempt me to make this a regular practice.On a day off and ravenous from morning errands, I entered Wasabi around 1 PM on a Wednesday to just a handful of guests inside the smallish space. The smiling waitress seated me by a window at a table for 2 and provided menus boasting a variety of lunch options. I LOVE lunch specials that come with a variety of foods (at a decent price), and was very tempted by the bento boxes which include soup, salad, shumai, rice, and fruit. Ultimately though, I had to go with my gut (literally) and order what I had come for: sushi.The sushi lunch special ($10.95) includes miso soup to start followed by a plate of 5 sushi pieces (tuna, salmon, shrimp, and 2 white fish) and a roll of your choice from the options listed (most of them are simple, vegetarian roll options). After I ordered, my miso soup was was brought out promptly. It was warm and comforting, with good amounts of scallions, seaweed, and tofu in the cloudy broth.Just a few minutes after finishing this course, my lovely plate of sushi arrived, adorned with a bright purple flower. I had opted for the Boston Roll, which is shrimp, cucumber, and mango. This ingredient combination wasn’t my favorite, but there was nothing wrong with the roll itself. And the sushi was just splendid. Fresh, tender fish atop perfectly sticky (apparently organic) rice served at room temperature, as it should be. I devoured the sushi and was left satisfyingly full and energized.During my time there, the restaurant had 1-5 customers and a few more come to pick up orders, so I hope that they are busier during dinner. However, this vibe was exactly what I needed to relax and enjoy my solo meal. I’m looking forward to my next day off when I can come try out a bento box (teriyaki eel sounds incredible) or the chirashi lunch special.
Review of Wasabi. My wife and I were scared to enter Wasabi as several other restaurants have sat on this spot and have had mediocre food and few customers. What a surprise! I think this is the freshest, most delicious sushi in all of Cambridge, and the wait staff and sushi chef are very nice people. Run to this restaurant, give them your business.
