Wasabi Bay - Bothell

Since I worked in a real office for the week, I could go to lunch, which I usually never do at home. I went to Wasabi Bay with the girls. Lunch offers here are crazy and cheap. The small plates all come with elk soup or salad. Here are the piggyoza, which also had a little secondary salad. The spider roll. The reels are somewhat smaller than the regular ones, but the prices are even teenier! Here's the chicken caraage grower. That was also on a side salad. I liked the surprise of greens and the lightly spicy dressing that came on. This oldashi Tofu was good and huge. And it ended up like $6 per person. Seriously. They practically give this food away, because it would cost you more in raw materials if you want to do this alone. If I worked in my ordinary business office, I could do it every day.

I can't wait to go back. You have a fresh list so we make sure that order a few items from this. Albacore sashimi was delicious. Firehouse also rolls farewell, but sharp! I should have called the name. A good happy hour. Prices are fair for quality and quantity.

Sublime Sanbaisu. I didn't expect Wasabi Bay to be as good as it was. While the decor is comfortable, the large television over the Sushi counter damped expectations and gave more a bar atmosphere. I was happy surprised. The Sushi-Maki, Negiri and Sashimi are very good. For those who prefer Americanized sushi, they do the cream cheese and salmon type rolls, and make the mayonnaise based mixed sharp rolls, but they also do not have fusion Japanese style maki and negiri. The Shiitake Mushroom Crab dumplings with Sanbaisu (also called Sanbaizu Sauce are sublime. Each emptying is served on a Japanese style spoon, four to serve it is a small dish order, but deceptive, as there is a considerable amount of food on the dish with Shishatake mushrooms, scalions, garlic, onions, and a Sanbaisu sauce so good that I literally scraped the dish to get the last piece of it. Each emptying is several bites, there are so much chopped on the spoon that it could easily be divided as an appetizer or one of two dishes at a table for two diners. Unless you want all four for yourself, and I usually do. Just the best I had and always good every time I had them. Lucky Hour allows you to buy two small record items for a modest price and just makes a full meal. There is more variety on the menu than other local Japanese restaurants (Sushi Zen, for example inexpensive and good Bento Box lunches, but not much beyond, the Ginger Pork is a remarkable exception and the availability of Small Plate meals allows to avoid over the food, or share a large plate with a companion. A small complaint I love Mochi ice cream for dessert, especially made house, and Wasabi Bay hasn't, but this is a small problem facing quality and value. Overall, a good choice for inexpensive Japanese foods in general, and very good, though somewhat expensive, sushi and sashimi.

Very good food, but S L O W to receive food always! Only space heaters in winter, so bring a jacket...

Been coming here with a friend for 7 years. This is our sushi spot and I want to thank all the staff here for making amazing food and being kind, always, 3ven through the pandemic. Y'all have something special. Thanks so much
