Today was a great day! We were looking for a quick bite to eat and we stumbled upon Wasabi Japanese Restaurant at 144 Owen Drive, Fayetteville, North Carolina (910)229-3498.
I am a foodie and I am always on the lookout for a great tasting meal! Wasabi Restaurant did not disappoint us. We were greeted by our waitress, Cris who was really cheerful and knowledgeable about the place and food. The special of the day was 20% off of certain appetizers. I chose one that was not included, the Seafood Dynamite. It had Crab, Octopus, and Shrimp with spicy mayo served baked. It was do delicious. The spicy mayo was not as spicy as I thought, it gave each bite a pleasant surprise. It was fresh tasting and not fishy as you may think. I have never had baked octopus and it made me anxious to try it in other ways. I give this appetizer : A+
The next dish I tried was a Bento box with Teriyaki Chicken, Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura, California Roll and Fried Rice. The serving size was great, felt like it was customized just for what I would choose if I ate each one separately. The Teriyaki chicken was tossed in a sauce that was not overpowering and felt like more of a compliment versus a coverup. You could tell that it was intentionally made that way. the chicken was cut in bite size pieces and was very fresh and cooked to perfection. I have always been a fan of tempura but never had eggplant, sweet potato fried to a gold color, served with a sweet chili sauce and taste the way it did.( Made me want more vegetables instead of craving more shrimp). Last but not least, the fried rice was a dish that I thought could stand alone. It was fresh tasting, non greasy and you could taste the ingredients which is something I look for when I go out to eat! I give this Lunch: A++++
The atmosphere was really cozy and quaint. Perfect for Happy Hour and Date night. I give overall an A++++
