Wasabi Bistro

Adopting a distinctly modern attitude toward Japanese cuisine, Wasabi Bistro has taken Belltown, and Seattle, by storm. Come for terrific happy hour specials on sake and sushi from 4pm to 6pm daily and 9pm to 1am Sunday through Thursday. The Japanese wine can be had for under $4, and maki options like an indulgent Seattle Tempura Roll (salmon, avocado, and cream cheese, fried) are a steal at half price. Traditional Japanese entrees are updated and given new life, including standards like tempura and yakisoba. This restaurant has wowed diners since it's opening in the summer of 2000; come find out what the talk is all about!
